you have to remember how hardcore started. it's almost a working class movement. in NYC in the 80s, this was mostly composed of white males. there are a few notable exceptions, like HR from Bad Brains (one of the first legendary hardco

to say a name is bad because it is hard to Google is dehumanizing. the purpose of a name is not to maximize discoverability. it is a side effect. do you feel the same about band names? "bad name" is, i'm sure you understand,

is your standard for a bad name really "hard to google"? Apple? C? when something gains critical mass it's really irrelevant anyway, since they become easy to google (atom shell is already a front page result for "electr

I believe modern hacks for counter strike behave exactly that way. if I recall correctly, the accuracy spread for bullets is determined by a "random" seed on the client. aim hacks can counteract recoil and bullet spread by "p

you're right, i hope i didn't sound argumentative. i should clarify my own point too, and add that just because they are not "built for it", or are slower, doesn't mean they are inherently a bad choice either. it&#x

Django/Rails/etc are kitchen sinks. they are not optimized for "building an API", or speed for that matter. it's kind of silly to expect them to perform as well.

"although I'm not sure what the point is" satire, clearly. wether or not it's good satire is up for debate.

this justifies the library's existence but does not justify it's inclusion upstream.

sorry, i already edited my response to address just this (so to readers your response might not seem as relevant as it was). the technicalities of your argument imply that it is false for any company to say "we have X employees" a

Oxford English dictionary lists the following definition of "poach": "take or acquire in an unfair or clandestine way". seems reasonable to me, the connotations are your own. Company A takes or acquires Company B'

great comment. I think, for this case, "expressive individuality" is synonymous with intent. you can't ponder a program's intent. that said, there is another discussion to be had about how much intent actually matters (o

awesome, thanks for the lead! i will look it up, i am mostly curious about it's resolution. for instance, my unqualified hunch is that the algorithm couldn't detect the size of the dog in my room based on a microphone recording. i

you didn't think about your question very hard, did you? investors, for one. no one wants to fund a company whose founder is publicly racist (sans other racists). at the very least we can agree it is a PR nightmare? more though, i&#x

i almost don't want to get involved in this, and i don't intend to take sides, but wouldn't many companies find it impossible to work with someone "disingenuously" racist as well? i am hearing that incontrollable sp

i can't be sure about Angular but they directly reference Ember, who published recently that they are improving their (notoriously slow) render times by moving to a virtual DOM model like React. what they're actually saying is, Re

by catshirt 12y ago
the compliment is that the other frameworks are improving their rendering speeds. the backhanded part is it implies they're slow.

a lot of the comments here seem misguided. he is asking about software design patterns, not graphic design patterns. the wikipedia article and BEM reference should have cleared that up.

i'm not sure i get your point. are you trying to suggest that chemical engineering cannot be self-taught? or that self-taught chemical engineers cannot get work? either point seems suspect. "No one teaches themselves to build nucl
