Nice, simple solution! Feedback: the JS to include should be minified, and the instructions should say to either place the script tag at the bottom of the 'body' tag (not in the head), or to add the 'async' attribute t

Yeah agree, but pretty much anything can be "simplified", short of being fired. The "company got acquired, added 'no swear' policies & removed perks' so I said fuck that and left", can be simplified to

I read your post. You clearly brought in turing completeness to try and support your argument. Your other points I've addressed, think we're done here.
284.
by allover 9y ago
The leap you're making is that turing completeness is a requisite to call something a programming language. Not so. You need to do more editing.

> No, CSS is a presentational / style-sheet language. That doesn't make it distinct from programming, you've just added more specificity.

(1) CSS is absolutely a programming language, and a difficult one to master at that.

Seems fairly obvious to me why VS Code would be popular with web devs like myself. It has a built in JS debugger and lots of web-related stuff works out of the box (TypeScript, JSX etc). Also the fact it is built in JS means it's easy

Are you at least checking in your npm-shrinkwrap.json? (If not you've got pain waiting to happen, that you won't find out about until deploy time)!

The fact you think 'the existence of leftpad' is an issue itself suggests you didn't really understand the incident. I also don't see what that has to do with 'comfort zones'.

No, they're only 'notorious' in this way via lazy external narrative.

Depends what you're using it for. If it's mostly tablet-y things (consuming stuff, casual infront-of-TV use), iOS is clearly superior. You can try and tear the iPads from my parents' cold dead hands. If you want to 'get

Eugh, I know you aren't defending that CoffeeScript article, but it hugely exaggerates the 'problem' by not acknowledging module scope (see the comments).
