It was quite literally a rallying point for Lincon and a reason for the civil war. Southerners wanted free trade to export tobacco and cotton. Northerners wanted tariffs and protection for their industries (both to make their factories mor

"Objects" in OOP, as in "let's couple data with behavior" necessarily means mutable state, otherwise they are just types. Use only immutable data; write abstract classes only; do polymorphism with interfaces and you

It's not because of "weak types" since the types inside the array don't get their type information erased. It's because Array.sort takes a comparison function but the default function instead of being something like

Isn't it kind of a useless distinction? I mean it's not like there are so many periods of pre-gunpowder history. We have ancient, medieval and that's it -you could add bronze age but we have so much less records-. The whole &

But you realize that "it needs to outlive the current scope" is vague enough to support the statement that there's really no rule of thumb, right?

looks like you are arguing what "sparingly" means in that context because the rest of the sentence is totally valid. Stack and Heap allocation in C serve different purposes and there's really no rule of thumb to choose one a

Having first-class functions and closures was the can of worms. How much you can get done passing callbacks is what got me wondering how much more stuff is there to learn in FP.

That sounds like doing for code what we used to do for deployments before docker/kubernetes. Like going back from a declarative and reproducible aproach to a more procedural one. There's good reasons infrastructure as code took ho

Yeah. Like I remember the win 32 API (not saying it's a good API though) to typedef every struct and it's pointer. I'm not sure if the Linux API are the same though.

Others are pointing out the problem with staffing companies too, but this reminds me of my experience (different countries, so YMMV). This means that even though "The law allows for veil piercing" there's a huge maybe there,

const only means the variable itself can't be reassigned though, and really the main complain about mutation comes from Array methods. Like Array.pop will mutate the array and you have to do an Array.split for the last item instead if

I don't get the "arbitrary complexity" issue. It's only a problem if you're auto generating everything in your schema, but otherwise you limit the fields of problematic types by hand and that's it. The same com

It's most useful with anything sending multiple requests. Most often you have all the data to perform all requests beforehand, but you can't just fetch (or whatever xmlHttpRequest abstraction you like) to send all requests at once

In Javascript you can make anything into a lazily evaluated expression by wrapping it into a function (sometimes called a "thunk"). // eager new Promise(resolve => resolve(foo)) // lazy const bar = () =>

Not really, at least in my experience. The re-binding really isn't the same as the jquery way. React reuses the same event handlers, how it's implemented is another story and not really important anyway. The other issue is the fa
