I would like laws that keep my neighbor from constructing strawmen weaker than mine.

Yes, but that was before "growth hacking" was cool.

"penultimate"? What do you consider to be better?

If you aren't already looking for a new job, why aren't you? It sounds like a bad fit and they don't appreciate your contributions.

Java can do it without too much trouble, you just have a version number on the collection that gets incremented with every mutation, and the iterator just checks to see if that has changed. C++ is much more complicated, allowing patterns li

It's great that so many people are able to boil down a complex topic to one of 3 convenient 1-word labels.

There was a similar discussion last week. What I said then was that a lot of the things you would use jQuery for have a different solution in Angular: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7396016 .

The old crypto literature has lots of ways of combining RNGs to make better ones (for some values of "better"). You're generally better off just designing one with known properties.

I hope this works out for you. I'd really like to see micro-transactions replace advertizing as the primary revenue source of the web. I'm afraid your experience so far shows that we haven't reached that tipping point yet.

Sure, I wish Javascript had a stronger type system too, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to an Angular/jQuery discussion. You still have business logic that you either test or don't test, right? At least angular gl

Angular is an MVC framework, which means that your code should be updating the model and letting Angular push that to the view. A lot of the stuff you would do with jQuery is directly updating the view. So instead of writing something lik

Sure, that's the easy answer. But some organizations have success with that methodology, so it's obviously not impossible to ship quality software with it. And many of those organizations used something else and switched to it,

I'm sure you're right, I should have specified that the end users I've spoken to have all been in the US.

Yeah, it's not very well thought-out. "The fact that patent holders are not required to go after the biggest perceived infringer or, more importantly, ALL infringers, and unilaterally get to choose infringers further proves the i

The cryptographic implementations are usually called "digital signatures", while this sort of thing is usually called an "electronic signature". Engineers understand the differences and pros/cons, but end users rea

Websites are supposed to distinguish internal and external links. Supposed to according to whom? That seems to be far from a universal custom. And if it's important, the browser can do it.

Ubuntu hosts one, but it's open source so the cloud provider can host one, or you can host one yourself (when appropriate).

The links in the slides are borked, there seem to be 3 stray bytes at the end of each shortened url.

Radio in LA is an absolute embarrassment. My theory is that the Clear Channels fight over and dominate (and homogenize) the larger markets and it's only in smaller markets where independent radio can survive.
