   L-systems can be used to describe fractals but they aren’t fractals. They are formal languages.

   I don't have a lot of experience with monorepos but I've found them very useful for: - Simple projects with a server and an SPA component - frontend and backend code for the same feature is on the same feature branch, can be teste

   I'm the same and I was sad to discover that there aren't any good science-based resources on dog training. What you'll find are books and videos based on the author's personal experience. You'll find pieces of advic

    Mutability, in this case, can be pretty unexpected. Just like you don't expect the expression a + 5 to change the value of a but to return a new number, most people don't expect myDate.add(5, 'days') to change the value

    (3) is only because Observable isn't a tool designed for this workflow. I can imagine something that works on regular text files locally on your machine. This would also solve (2). As for (1) - this sounds great! Can you tell me how?

    I hate YAML. XML and JSON have syntaxes that are very easy to learn. You basically see one example and know 99% of what you need. YAML has multiple ways of doing the same thing (eg. two array syntaxes) and is generally too "clean"

    I really really hope they don't remove favorite. I have a lot of comments and posts saved and return to read them from time to time.

    It needs to be said because not every user is a programmer and things like this aren’t obvious to them.

    Maybe it's because I haven't yet had my morning coffee but I find his first example overly complicated. A much simpler and immediately obvious one [from this article]( http://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/quine.htm ):

    I don't use social media sites so I don't really know what the article is talking about. A couple of photos would have been nice.

    Two "males"... I hate it so much when people who are against stereotyping women so readily stereotype men. Those were two people who happened to be men. Your comment is everything that is wrong with today's "feminist&q

    I hated the "instantness" of Instant Search but loved the keyboard shortcuts which seem to have disappeared. I used TAB and the arrow keys to select a search result and Ctrl+Enter to open the result in a new tab. It is very, very
