The thing is, if you have any sort of front-end that is not entirely server-side rendered, you're going to have to work in JS at least some of the time. If your back-end is also in JS, you now get the benefit of isomorphic code for thi

That repo is interesting. A quick ctrl+F seems to indicate that pretty much every instance of "MongoDB" is "Moving from Mongo to Postrges or DynamoDB" (there is one single entry of moving to Mongo from MySQL). Almost a

Just wanted to let you know, although it's been a few days, that I genuinely appreciate this reply. I am curious why this got downvoted. It adds context to one of my uncertainties (the exact mechanism for increased satiety under keto)

In javascript it's pretty easy to write a function for partial application in either order, you can curry functions forward or backward. const map = (arr, mapper) => arr.map(mapper); // Non "traditional" or

The entirety of the comments seem to be either saying "This guy is a genius and is 100% right" or "This guy is talking out of his backside". The scientific consensus on weight loss is pretty clear: all forms of diets are

What the comment you're replying to is saying, is that if you were deeply obsessed with the problem, you wouldn't have to think twice to make trade-offs. If the problem you're solving really needs solving right now , you w

This comment completely misses the point. The article's title is "Learnable Programming: Designing a programming system for understanding programs" This is not an article about how to teach or learn programming, this is about

Fires can start from natural causes too. It's ignorant to say that this sort of disaster can be prevented by fixing behaviour, and it's a special form of hubris to think that you can "unstupid" everyone. This is the wors

Isn't ActionScript just a dialect of EcmaScript? I would guess transitioning from that to Javascript would be pretty easy.

I've recently started doing interviews for my company, and while there are definitely candidates that we have been on the fence about accepting that would probably have been a great fit, in the end, the false positive rate is more impo

To equate lack of peripheral support to "bugs" is hilarious.

Right, but they do have the potential to also be used as treatment then? Considering they're easier to manufacture than synthetic antibodies.

Since you seem well informed: does the research mention anything about use as an aerosol and why that might be considered before internal use?

Same. Video game development is some of the hardest, most thankless, woefully unstable software job there is. It's not worth it.

Self-documenting code is not a judgment that you can pass on your own code: that's the role of code review. 95% of the code you write day to day should be clear enough that someone who didn't write it can understand it on first re

Just as a curious reader, what exactly is it that makes you very much prefer Python to JS? As someone who uses both professionally I rarely if ever miss Python features in JS (or vice versa for that matter, aside from the lack of multi-li

From the video, it looked like the truck braked faster than I would expect a human driver. I wonder if that water-curtain stop sign tripped up the truck's anti-collision braking system, that sounds like it would be a good target for su

Who the hell would consider this stack to be boring? There's so many moving parts for a single person operation, seems pretty insane to me that anyone would consider this boring.
