Those are new in ECMAScript 2015 (f.k.a. ES6). Check out Kangax's compat table[1] for support. [1] http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/

That is interesting. Since it's private, do you think that there is something about the community that leads to that? Aside from being discovered by a current employer/coworker or fearing that a question is bad, I don't reall

And? Did you read the thread? The complaint centered on trying to navigate to URLs that certain tools (e.g., Jekyll) tell users to hit. I was adding another example. (Looking over it again, I see that SimpleHTTPServer was actually mentioned

I agree completely. I love Foursquare. The social aspect is weak, but only in the active sense (commenting and liking and whatnot). The passive social aspect (seeing where friends with similar tastes go or have gone) is definitely useful.

> they don't allow for long winded rants much like you see on Yelp Yelp practically encourages them by nudging reviewers to hit a character minimum in order to meet some definition of a high-quality review.

That's an interesting question. I think there are a few factors. Meyer was one of the pioneers of modern web development (many people here have mentioned using his `reset.css`). Related to that, many people on HN are or were web develo

I love that I can get no response from GitHub.com, head over to HN, and find an eight-minute-old post confirming that it's down and linking to GitHub's status page. Cheers!

Nope. I unsubscribed when my student price ($40) lapsed and I was bumped up to full price ($80). Looking over my order history told me that (a) I don't order much from Amazon and (b) those orders are not time-sensitive. Oh, and Prime I

Definitely! (Unfortunately, that goes for everything you mentioned, including the long-winded parts.)

by __derek__ 13y ago
Agreed. I cannot recommend that book enough. It's a natural extension of The Good Parts and should be considered required reading (in the same way that Effective Java is for Java developers).

On the one hand, that makes me want to decry the state of the world and of our profession. On the other, it's kind of heartening to know that that's the state of the competition (so to speak) when I want to change jobs.

Interesting that the JS is concatenated and mangled but not minified (and the source maps are basically self-referential).

The heart of satire is ridicule, so malice and satire can indeed live quite nicely side-by-side.

Why does it have to be predictive? What's wrong with its being merely a descriptive tool? I agree that it should not be used as a basis for decision-making, but dismissing it as useless seems a little extreme. Granted, I have consisten

A better one, I think: Ember is like Django (full-featured, heavily opinionated, tightly coupled with its preferred tools), Angular is like Pyramid (powerful, but without a lot of established patterns; the Wild West with big guns), and Back

That's a non-sequitur: marketing and advertising are not the same thing.
