WRT exceptions I'm curious what his thoughts are on the go way of handling them (just return an exception, don't throw)? Clearly this article was written pre-go.

The other issue with Canadian telecom is that certain companies are essentially given a government monopoly in certain areas. Where I live, cogeco provides cable Internet and Bell DSL. However, in the next city Rogers does cable and another

I think another thing to factor in is the increase in computerized trading. With more and more volume comprising of strategies that focus on the short term , it seems like the returns may not be as shown since the data the research is based

I'm only speculating, but I believe that Darwin is much more bare or stripped down compared to universal Windows. I believe that the author was refering to being able to run iOS apps on OSX and vice versa. This IMO is not very smart. E

To learn, I built it up little by little. Start with Babel, Webpack, express and react. Build something basic. Next add Redux then react router and finally server side rendering. You have to use various tutorials, read lots of docs and try

I mainly write JS. With vs code I can get some basic autocomplete with type script files (typings) and it autocompletes my own JS (including Docs). Atom will only show generic auto completion and won't even autocomplete my own files. I

using VS code now. It's great, but came back to atom to see if things changed

I tried atom a few months ago and it was slow. Loaded it up yesterday and I'm thinking of switching if only I could get decent autocomplete working.

I think the issue is that Android is becoming like windows is/was. By this I mean that there is lots of built in bloat. For instance Rogers (my carrier) automatically installs an NHL app, a ringtone app and other seemingly useless addo

The issue doesn't seem to be that people don't want the new Android release, it's that carriers don't want to give it to them. Here (Canada), if a new device and Android version comes out you can forget about getting upd

Agreed. Think of Texas salaries vs cost of living and compare that to Toronto. I have a friend that went back to school just so that he can get a TN visa and leave for the US

Even though most of these probably have read only access, the fact that its even there shows that the person that set it up didn't have security on their mind. Sure you may not be able to do anything via VNC, but what about other attac

I was joking clearly. Thought the ridiculousness of the idea make that clear.

Never understood the fun in importing everything and chaining together someone else's code. Sometimes if I'm building something trivial, a bit of test code or something for fun I'll write up all of it, even if I have to refer

Similar idea but what if you were to write your tests first and then upload them to a site that pieces together the required modules to pass them and generates an API against the modules.

Hmm but then is the scope/namespace reserved for each user that reserves/uses it? If I publish @andy9775/left-pad can someone publish under @andy9775/other-module or can only I publish under @andy9775/...? If so, wh

Wouldn't (shouldn't) npm block same named modules from being uploaded with a different username? Proposal: go with a java based naming system: com.yc.mymodule. All installations would require the user to use com.yc.* in package.js

Great thanks. I've built stuff before and have been learning/coding for the past ~4 years so I don't classify myself as a complete beginner. When applying without a CS background how tough are the technical interviews? Do the
