I'm curious about this, because I have an entirely different perspective. I know nothing about Denmark, but I have seen that Sweden's student debt is on-par or higher than student debt in the U.S. despite free tuition. But earni

IMO, it's matured very well. I'm always surprised by how good performance is in a virtualized environment compared with Oracle using the same front-end enterprise applications. The biggest advantage IMO is that you can get strong

Two days ago I made a comment about HN evangelizing React, but never posting any good/current getting started points. I officially stand corrected. I'm still curious about reasons to invest time in learning it over plain old java

Most important line in the article, in my opinion: > Their selections exploit our negativity bias. Which is true of a whole heck of a lot more than just mainstream news. Some people go overboard and try to get rid of all negative influe

With all the evangelism I've seen on HN about React, I have yet to see a cohesive post about the benefits that it provides that makes it worth the investment in learning. Nor have I seen a seen a good review of tooling that provides a

Absolutely. The article itself (it's a short one) talks about doing just enough tests to have confidence in a product, and I think that's fantastic for early phase development. But when changes can come from anywhere (lots of dev

I was a little disappointed to see the lack of scratch adoption early on, but it needed a good deal of polishing. It's not being used by any schools that I have checked out, but the ideas that I first saw with scratch are widely used a

That may be the case, but I personally would be surprised. My impression is that most companies don't do a good job of managing and monitoring dependency licensing. I have seen tooling that analyzes licenses, but not for node or clien

I am curious to hear of anyone who has reviewed this license with their lawyers / legal departments and received a positive, non-cautionary response to go ahead and use the software and libraries covered under it.

I don't see anybody painting this as "sticking to principles" and the message certainly does not read that way to me.

I would recommend none-of-the-above. Having gone down the Haskell rathole, it's clear to me that the advertising is better than the product. It's complex and difficult to learn and the "less errors because of typing" ma

I'm with you. When you are doing things as your day-to-day learning the syntax and gotchas associated with whatever language are pretty easy, but when you come at it every once in a while working with Octave or Matlab are so much easi

I thought they did a decent job of explaining it, but by publicly exposing it in a high profile case (Silk Road) they did themselves a disservice. The fact that it's referenced regularly in primetime TV means that thousands of people w
