The fact that someone actively worked against the welfare of society as a whole, in significant and impactful ways, _is_ a criticism of their credibility. It speaks to their morals and empathy for others. It doesn't mean that what they

Yes, but the comment I was replying to sounded like it was saying that the large cost wasn't an issue, because it would have such a big impact. But the odds of it actually accomplishing anything useful need to be taken into account, to

I'm with you 100%. The main thing is that sometimes a "break point" (using a variable rather than _more_ chain) can help readability. And sometimes it makes things worse. It's really a case-by-case type of thing.

> Naming the variables can help readability It can, or it can't; depending on the situation. Sometimes it just adds weight to the mental model (because now there's another variable in scope).

The original reasons for not putting your elbows on the table (limited space, as well as some others) just don't apply anymore. There's no reason _not_ to put your elbows on the table other than "that's how it's alw

Are there that many people at top tier companies making 100k? I was under the impression that they were top tier because they paid really well.

What makes you think they'll be doing the same thing?

But do they need to? If a <role X> job at a top tier company making $600k is eliminated and two <role X> jobs at a "more average" company making $300k replace it; is that really a bad thing? Clearly, there's some

You're downplaying it in the same way that others are overplaying it. - There are servers that are labelled adult only because it's simpler to label _everything_ as causing cancer than it is to only label the correct things. I can

XML is pretty fantastic for a lot of things that JSON is not up to the task for. And YAML ... has it's own, special issues.

That _is_ slower. The fact that it's possible to throw enough resources at it that both "look" the same speed, doesn't change the fact that one of them is 10x slower.

That was my first thought... Notepad is a plain text editor. Why add formatted text options when there's no good reason for it? Plus, judging by the image, it doesn't look like there's controls to interact with the plain text
