It should be noted that Tokyo's subways do not operate between midnight and 5am. Having 4-5 hours of downtime every night dramatically reduces the complexity of infrastructure upkeep and cleanliness, and taxis pick up the slack for the

If you build a monolith from the beginning, no one will use it because it's "too opinionated".

You obviously didn't read the article, but the terrible headline is at least partly to blame for this.

To take that one step further, I would even say that a physical object is merely a touchable proxy for a mental model. Think of how many things you just "know" how to use because of elegant or established design patterns. Or how y

What if what they're building is a hot new framework? Does that still count as "cool shit"?

Please refrain from labeling any article with a less-than-literal headline as "clickbait". I feel this lies somewhere between "avoid gratuitous negativity" and "complaining that a submission is inappropriate" g

Code reuse - I have an dual iOS/Android React Native app and over 90% of the codebase are generic components. Most of the difference are simply stylesheets, for platform-specific UX. Besides that, there's the incalculable benefit

Yes. Or, very simply put, you need more long-term optimists than long-term pessimists. China is wealthy in many ways, but a wealth of optimism is not prevailing.

Aren't we "fair game", though? When it comes to winning or losing an election, there's no law that could stop the deployment of these technologies, but merely influence how openly they could operate. I'm not trying

It would be interesting to see these phrases translated into other languages. Greek, for one, or an analytic language such as Mandarin. Is it possible for the sentences to still make sense, or even retain the humor?

Isn't that a bit like saying, "Innovation and productivity in the tech sector are at all-time highs, why would you risk that by fiddling with patent reform?" The environment is flourishing in spite of, not because of, these i

Being well-known also means your worst moments get more attention than might be deserved. Even kind people have bad days, but a bad day for a Fortune 10 CEO can follow them for life. Maybe unfair, but it's one of the (more reasonable)

I recommend Backbone as a first JS framework. As mentioned above, it contains less "magic" (and far less code) than any other framework of its popularity. You can read the source for Backbone in an hour and will likely learn somet

the only job you can actually get _publicly shamed and publicly_ fired from for lying is "propaganda mouthpiece." Someone being fired for lying, and someone you heard about getting fired for lying, are very different things.
