by _greim_ 8y ago
There's a transition where a quality signal becomes easy-to-fake, during which time humans are "fooled", but then we become sensitized. It's no longer a quality signal and we subsequently refine our aesthetics toward har

Ha! This makes me chuckle. I myself was a web developer during the decade of IE6 dominance, advocating for Mozilla all the while. Despite it being trendy and contrarian to praise "M$" nowadays, I feel like that ice is only now b

Disappointed that there's no top-level section on iteration. It's a powerful but under-utilized part of the language.

One thing I've found with functional programming (Elm) is that writing JS requires constant mental effort. E.g. dynamic types, mutations, side effects, state. In Elm all of that neural machinery becomes obsolete, but your brain doesn&#

The Elm architecture seems to use pretty much this exact pattern. The imperative shell parts are all buried within the Elm runtime, and you contribute the functional bits. Redux also to a lesser extent.

I don't have any benchmarks so I won't speculate which is faster, but both these options create a new function object. The fact that one is done implicitly doesn't necessarily make it faster. I suspect performance will be h

I tried it a while back, but got distracted because the UI seemed clunky and half-baked. Anyone know if that's changed in the past several years?

Anecdotally, I suspect this pattern extends all the way back to childhood. The tendency I've seen, repeatedly, is that misbehavior and horseplay is tolerated in boys, or even encouraged, whereas retribution is swift when little girls s

This may sound silly, but does any aspect of this take into account which language is used to print the string? Suppose there's a language where a single dot "." is the command to print out some particular string. Then that s

Yeah I am thinking more something like linting+ for packages. And for published code, not code from the git repo. % analyze-some-npm-package some-package@2.1.1 → some-package/foo.js contains a syntax error → some-packag

The wording is pretty vague, I guess intentionally, but saying "we found no evidence..." isn't as confidence-inspiring as if they'd said "we determined that no...".

Has anyone ever written a static analyzer to audit an npm package? Say I'm looking to add a new npm dependency, and I do my due diligence, pouring over the code, scanning the issues log, etc, and everything looks kosher. But then it wo

> tokens were invalidated at 2018-07-12 12:30 UTC I'm reading it as tokens created before 2018-07-12 12:30 UTC were invalidated, but the invalidation itself happened on 2018-07-12 18:42 UTC according to eslint's post-mortem

The cross section of people you deal with is inherently skewed toward the less capable and less competent, though, which can bias your thinking on the topic.

This here is the actual reason. Medium posts and micro-libs are fringe factors by comparison.

It sounds similar. I stopped doing it years ago after seeing too many close calls. But I live in an area where other people don't exactly accommodate the behavior.

For that to be viable, we'd need an unprecedented compression algorithm to work around bandwidth and storage limits. But yeah, then we could basically have a second, decentralized internet.

You can maybe ratchet your way out of this POV, like so: Would there ever be a centralized provider without there being an incentive for it? Would such an incentive ever exist without an accompanying incentive to leverage your dominance to

Actually, I think this whole "connect people at all costs" meme is pushing the wrong narrative. Facebook's failure isn't that it connected too many people, it's that it only made certain kinds of connections, while

Agreed. It's further complicated by subjective loudness not being a simple function of sound pressure level. So, if you adjust two signals to equal subjective loudness in an AB test, is it really a fair test?

I had no idea what ICO stood for, and couldn't find an explanation in the article, so I posted this to save others a click.

Not an expert at all, just curious; could this kind of radiation have caused the high-pitched sounds, or perception of sounds, as purely a side effect?
