I think this is a much more effective method of getting people to reject snooping. Saying "the government can track metadata about who you call" is not very scary. But make it more concrete and you get some scary statements: - The

I don't even know what to say. I think I might cry. This is going to be so useful.

If they're going to edit, they really need to add a comma in this sentence: "That is one reason we have long argued that the Patriot Act, enacted in the heat of fear after the 9/11 attacks by members of Congress ..."

I think that your point of view is actually a really good reason for front-end-first development. As a front-end developer, I accept that the back-end portion of modeling, storing, and scaling the data is a much harder (or at least much dif

To be fair, you haven't handled the complete case. What if one of the items fails? You need to handle the error, but only if it's the first error, and make sure to tell all later-called callbacks that they're too late and we have already fa

They aren't planning to add collection methods, just to provide a means for existing methods like Array#map and Array#filter to be typed. Right now there is no way to write a type signature that says, given an array of numbers and a functio

by asolove 14y ago
So if you don't want any static typing, don't use TypeScript. But if you are adopting TypeScript to retrofit some kind of static typing onto your code, and if you use any kind of functional programming helpers (map, reduce, filter, etc.) th

It's funny, when I first read that sentence, I heard a very different tone in my head. I heard: "I expect to find..." in the sense a parent might say "I expect to find that you cleaned your room." Of course they don't expect it, but the

I am not an FRP expert but I've played around with both Elm [1] and Flapjax [2]. With both libraries, I ran into a basic mismatch with what I wanted to do. They both make it very easy to have static controls create dynamic behavior. You cre

Objective-C has the dynamic properties of a language like Smalltalk, but you can also drop down to C and write fast imperative code. Besides the raw capabilities of the language, the community of Objective-C developers fit very well with th

Because charging for content on the web doesn't work. While I love the web and wait for a day when we can do micropayments or deep-linking with paywalls or something, the biggest advance someone could make today is to demonstrate a digital-

I assume everyone already knows about mockjax [1], a fantastic library for mocking out plain-old jquery ajax requests. It's a great way to develop and test Backbone apps against an API contract even before the API is up and running. [1] ht

I disagree. You didn't learn to talk by studying rhetoric. You imitated sounds and words that people made around you. Then you started being able to express your own ideas. Then, maybe, you learned how to say things well. It's the same with

Yeah, I definitely agree. I frequently comment on MVC js discussions on HN to talk about my experiences with different frameworks. I also know that where I work, we're doing way more work, much faster, with better testing, and having a lot

Just FYI, he's not talking about the decorator being anonymous, he's talking about the function the decorator is wrapping being anonymous. What he means is that, since python lambda's are one-line, you can't do something like: ifAutho

While the syntax here is CoffeeScript-specific, this is a perfectly fine pattern to apply in any JavaScript. The key is to remember that, in JavaScript, you aren't really "defining instance methods" in the way you are in almost any other la

So you have some change, either an xhr or a dom event. You want it to trigger a bunch of other changes somewhere else. One approach is to call functions (or call functions that call functions...) that directly make that change. This method
