This is one of the most "HN" things I've read in awhile. Their first bullet point asks their audience to define a term they just made up, and implies that grouping people via this term is important to social justice, said as

My two earliest programming memories: - Using logo to draw stuff, and watching my brother using it to draw a recursive tree and copying him - Copying[1] games out of old magazines to play them, including torturous sessions with my brother w

I'm not sure where you got your git from (did it come with macos?) but I'd highly recommend you use something like brew. Not just for git, but for any tools you use honestly. MacOS very rarely patches this kind of thing, and in si

Honestly, this sounds like the kind of argument you could present about how syntax highlighting is a terrible idea. It might be wrong! I don't use ligatures, but I really don't see a problem with other people using them. It's

Can you give some examples of what you're actually testing? Perhaps an example of a specific test statement, the kind of level the tests sit at etc, what gets covered and what doesn't etc? Are you testing the rendering engine? Lig

As a New Zealander, I'm not an Aussie but I am still disappointed she can't say "Strewth" properly! She gets 'arvo' and 'stone the crows' right though, so that's something ;-)

How do people with many CPU cores find it helps their day to day, excluding people who run VMs, or do highly parallelisable things as their 80% core job loop (ie you run some form of data.paralellMap(awesomeness) all day)? Does it help with

Oh sure, yeah I see how #4 would be useful. Generally I've used / seen `undefined` used for that in the past, which can be problematic because it might mean what you think it means, or it might mean something broken in your algo b

Thanks for this list, very interesting! I haven't really dealt with this level of JS before, so unfortunately I'm ignorant of every one of your bullet points. Good to see it's got lots of uses though.

So I think they would be, but yeah, I can only really speak for myself. I have rolled back through my memory, and I have had drinks with women alone before, though not much, but probably as many times as I've had drinks with guys alo

You can't drink without getting drunk? (To answer your main question though: I'm OK with it, maybe that's just me though. I know we are a small nation but I don't know everyone .) Edit: Since we're on the subject,

This article and thread have been fascinating to me. I am from NZ, so maybe this is a US-cultural thing? The idea that getting a drink with a women-not-your-spouse being inappropriate is so crazy and weird to me! Do you not have female frie

It depends on what you're backing up. If you're generating a lot of unique non-dedupable assets (eg you're a photographer who keeps their raws) it quickly becomes very expensive. Don't get me wrong, I love tarsnap and us
