Yes because it's missing a quantifier which completely changes the meaning of the title. Only controversial to call this out because it's a climate change article thus impervious to any and all criticism obviously.

That's a grotesque misrepresentation of the article to change the title in that manner.

Is that not what people mean when they say a currency is dying? Or is there some other meaning of a dying currency?

Academics spend a lot of time on the internet defending their poor decision of going into academia, as well as anyone who points out how obviously fruitless academia is. For most people it's nearly impossible to admit something they ju

Lets be honest, 99% of people who disable javascript are programmers who take great honor in complaining about every website that is more than 200k in size. This is a non-issue for most companies.

You're also not allowed to build a house on a random piece of property, so you must be able to afford to buy property to build a house there. Very classist.

Why do you think you can't invalidate a JWT? Store a JWT that is associated with some object in a database that has the field `isInvalidated`. This isn't rocket science. Sure - this turns the JWT token into a session but there is

It's only a point made to further justify their over priced diploma.

This is absurd. Most companies don't have code bases that one can get an understanding of within a day. This is more of a test of the candidates luck on what the person is working on.

Is it not an advantage for average users to be able to do both the front end and back end knowing only a single language?

Hating on Javascript is one of the trendiest things to do in online tech-centric communities. The future of Javascript is bright, and the new features added are vast improvements onto a language that stagnated far too long. Many of the crit

What is truly lacking of content is your pointless comment. HN has an annoyingly large amount of posters who feel the need to always comment on some minor design/structure related piece of a webpage which derails conversations and adds

Why wouldn't you know what your destructuring? `({ id, option = true, name = 'unnamed' }) => // ...` replaces ``` function(userObject) { const id = userObject.id; const option = userObject.option || true;

Arrow functions are immensly useful, and the lack of some of this syntax for a language which naturally lends itself to a functional approach was so jarring that coffee-script grew to immense popularity because of it. Like any sufficiently

Destructuring assignments are extremely useful, especially within function signatures.

by btdiehr 11y ago
If you want to return an object literal just do this, `(text) => ({ label: text })` In my opinion the arrow function has great syntax. Rest assured, no matter what the syntax was chosen to be, there would be an extremely vocal group of p

The one thing academics love to do is argue about the merits of academics existing. You could devout an entire PhD to it!

The real problem here is no value is being produced. Nothing to do with unions.

Do you expect all authors to linger on every word of an opinion piece? Someone emailed them and they corrected. Standard, not sad at all.

Are you trying to imply that those who don't or can't afford university aren't processing information? Now that is terrifyingly shallow.

Serious question... Why don't these active adults just read some books and watch free online lectures instead? I fail to see the value a university is providing here.

One thing I find interesting about programming forums is without fail, a good portion of every discussion divulges into off topic, largely useless and redundant commentary on one of the following: - Page uses JavaScript (when it doesn'

What do you suppose you should do when people start demanding interactive features and capabilities that can only be done client side? For a lot of us the alternative of doing things on the server is a significantly worse UX.

Is it not a testament to how easy NPM has made it, that it is flooded with beginners? Is that not the fate of any sufficiently popular package manager? Your disdain seems to be more about how much you dislike the javascript community than h
