That is a great general attitude I agree.

It’s extren explicit...? Each option is laid out clearly. Each option Maps to a key on the object that is passed to the function called at the end of a commander chain. It would be hard to be more explicit

Not at all. You appear to be trying to fit my words to your conclusion. I’m saying demonstratably bad positions will be called out as such. Doesn’t matter if they are or are from progressive people. So please stuff that strawman somewhere

by abritinthebay 8y ago
Here’s the thing: you don’t get the benefit of the doubt when you hold opinions that have been demonstratably wrong for 40+ years. It counts as evidence of your poor judgement and terrible moral compass. Especially when you espouse other

Just a note: if HN is the only tech news you follow you’ll be getting a VERY skewed & narrow view of tech.

I'm curious as to what you mean by simpler code? Commander leads to incredibly simple code (as it just sets a list of options) combined with helpful CLI help output.

It provides no insight, asked Jobs no real questions, and provided very little outside of a quote filled list of what he'd done... which we already knew.

Wasn't snark, Mr Hostility. DOM manipulation is a very expensive operation and is abstracted by a lot of useful libraries - was wondering if there was a specific reason to not use them. Canvas is another type of abstraction - and blitt

LGPL only requires you to share changes to the LGPL code that you publish (you don't even have to submit them back, just make them available). And yeah, that comes down to "well if you want to use our stuff and base new work on

Useful is a subjective value judgement, so... no. But I get what you're saying - I'd say it's more correct to say it's valued, but not that it has intrinsic value. For example - over history gold has been mostly consider

None of them have intrinsic value. At least gold & diamonds are useful

Which is why LGPL exists.

by abritinthebay 8y ago
Which is why the LGPL exists. Most code that is designed to be shared & incorporated rather than complete/forked should likely be LGPL (if the GPL ideals are what is wanted). Personally I just go with MIT/X11 but there are goo

Any reason for not using canvas or some kind of framework like Vue/preact/etc?

Just an example of a certain privileged segment that many CEOs represent being out of touch with normal people.

The odd thing is Google Maps routing algorithm seems to actively be getting worse . It tries to be too clever, resulting in often frustrating and silly route adjustments

That’s partially because Jobs biography is awfully written and was such a waste of The access the author had. Woz’s is easy to read.

I feel the similarity of the American and older English accents is played up - it's mainly similar due to rhotic vs non-rhotic. Also, of course, you then have to ask what American accents anyhow - Georgia vs Texas vs Vermont vs.. etc

Yarn breaks things all the time for me. Practically every build process issue I’ve had in the last 7 months has been Yarn related. Never had `npm i` break though... does it fail if you do `npm ci`? Are you pinning versions? Very peculiar be

Right, though there’s nothing intrinsically better about throwing an error - it’s just the idiom programmers are more familiar with. If it’s raised and documented well there’s no reason it wouldn’t work as undefined (could throw type erro

Nothing specific! Just a general impression. I’m primarily working in JS these days and it felt very familiar and approachable so...
113.
by abritinthebay 8y ago
Looks like JS crossed with Python (not a bad thing at all)
114.
by abritinthebay 8y ago
It’s not wrong. It’s just a definition issue. The result is undefined in mathematics. Throwing an error is actually “wrong” as the result should actually be undefined/null but most languages throw for practical reasons. So in fact it’s

You’re absolutely right - and that’s the e tire core point of Scrum: to promote agile methodology (which can be summed up as you just did) However the reason there is “bs” (by which I assume you mean the process/meetings/etc) is t

Why? It appears to affect a tiny subset of a tiny subset of users. If it’s not significant (and it’s not) then it shouldn’t change to a medium grade outage status (amber). At best a notes portion of a status page could mention it.

Except this IS a working status page.

It’s a really fun language to play in. I also recommend Modula 2 - it’s more C-like but is equally easy to get something up an running with.
