> Multiple versions [...] almost always a bad idea If so, different major versions of the same dep should be considered different libraries, for the sake of flattening. Consider lodash for example.

It sounds to me like it's a great framework, but "Angular 2" is a misnomer at this point. Maybe the "Angular" name will entice 1.x users to it, but it seems like the Angular team could have created "MasterBlast

It will hopefully remind you that you forgot to register that event.

I feel like this works from a misinformed or co-opted definition of "rationalism." A rationalist is someone who tries to think clearly in order to win. Science, logic, the teachings of Plato; all of that stuff can inform a rationa

> What value is there in having JSON be a subset of JavaScript? * Virtually zero learning curve if you already know JS. * It can be pasted into and out of a working program. * Constrains the format from becoming bloated.

by _greim_ 10y ago
With the exception of trailing commas, all these things would break the fact that JSON is a subset of JavaScript. Breaking that would cause a lot more problems than it solves. It's just that the minor problems you have to live with se

When I receive these calls, I set my phone down and go about my business, letting the robot play itself out. I figure every CPU cycle wasted on me spares someone else.

Doesn't scientology have some kind of weird self-declared feud with psychiatry? I wonder if they've perhaps been sowing FUD whenever and wherever possible.

Are we using "difficult" to mean "takes longer than the universe"? Since presumably that would be why we trust it for cryptography?

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

As a guitar player I'm glad the article also mentioned equal temperament tuning. The frets of a guitar for example are spaced using the 12th root of 2. Musical theory is a tangled rat's nest, but at least that part is easy to unde

It sounds like Facebook's approach is to provide free wifi to specific websites (which presumably includes Facebook) while Google's approach is to just provide free wifi. Is that true?

Okay, so let other people be dumb pipes by not lobbying against municipal broadband everywhere.

This article in some ways describes the delta from HTML development to XML development. In the early/mid 2000s, XML was cargo-culted through the tech world on a massive scale; typically being adopted by web developers who proceeded to

The patterns handed down by the authors of Angular were one team's idea of how to do things, at a specific moment in time, which subsequently got enshrined and frozen in place for everyone for the next several years. And it works! It&#

DI is great; DI isn't the problem at all. It's rather the fact that Angular baked in a DI implementation that doesn't play well with either static analysis tools or module loaders. I'm not even criticizing the creators o

by _greim_ 10y ago
Makes sense. My frustration in part stems from having worked on an app that used Angular DI and a module loading system (RequireJS) side by side. The conceptual dissonance and fallout between the two systems was an endless source of bickeri

Ugh, the dependency injection stuff is just Angular all over again. export default wire(Title, ['title'], function resolve(title) { return { title }; }); Now I have to register "title" somewhere. Where

The tech industry isn't zero-sum though, even from just a purely selfish "can I get a job" POV. More talent in the pool will arguably make the industry bigger, rather than diluting the value of that talent. There's just

For JavaScript in particular. 1) TDD. Since JS offers so few static guarantees, unit testing your components and utilities as you build is important; arguably more so even than in other languages. Besides test-as-you-go, this includes build

I wonder if it's a situation in which parents struggling to get kids to just eat your damn food have created market forces that have gradually pushed mainstream bread to suit the preferences of children. We parents (at least in the U

Ha, I'd totally forgotten about that! It seems like I remember Netscape 4 would actually convert CSS into JSS internally. It tried to comply to the standards but it always felt like the internal warts of the engine would poke through i

So suppose I'm a member of the upper class, and I always act in a selfish and rational way, seeking maximum benefit to myself at all times, without regard for benefit to others unless it also helps me. Living thus in a society with a s

Setting aside for the moment the facts of this particular case, I thought the article makes a good point in general. > When harassment, sexual or otherwise, requires a cost-benefit analysis, you have failed.

As an anecdotal account, that's not surprising. If it takes, let's say, ten years to get good at something, then people who are good at server-side app-building are going to have roots in other technologies and other ways of thin

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. What is being "automated" here? The headline and home page don't give much context.
