Modern is associated with your definition and has a positive connotation. However, it really just means it's new. That doesn't necessarily mean the things you listed. But it does mean that it's probably under active developme

Not even close to being the same at all. For starters, I'm sure they'll give you a togo box if you don't finish unless it's a buffet. When you "buy" a book you should be able to read it whenever you want foreve

It reminds me of people who blame programmers for "dark patterns". Sure, they implement them but they aren't the ones who decide that they should be implemented. However, both programmers and Boeing engineers could (should) q

> Aren't all stores a 'walled garden'? I'd call them "gardens". I'd called them "walled" if they use DRM and force you to consume it in their garden.

Writing a script? I'm not going to have my script open a web browser so I can attempt to interact with a web console.

I agree completely. It's ridiculous seeing different cities, counties, states, etc reimplementing the same stuff from scratch. I realize every region is different but not that different.

How do I know if it errored or not? The default value is ambiguous. It either means that it's the correct result or that the function errored. Sure, the program might not crash right then and it will compile, but it's guaranteed t

Exceptions aren't typed though so you either have to decode it in some way or treat every exception the same.

Yes, let's say you have random people over you don't know (to fix things for example). One of them is a criminal that wants to case your house to see if it's worth bteaking into when you're out of town. If you're wi

I don't find that reason any more compelling than any other reason I've read. I still don't get why it's better than what already exists.

This is actually one of the things I first liked about Ruby. Then it became one of the main reasons I started disliking Ruby.

I don't find that more readable at all. I prefer: if deleteUser user.delete() end It's easier for me to read. It doesn't try to hide away logic. And if the line gets longer if the conditional gets more comp

This is ridiculous. Not being able to take kids to school is already hard enough on parents. They're being forced to use their own home instead of taking them to a building their tax dollars pay for. It's already privacy evading e

For the camera example, I would rather do: Camera camera = createCamera({"rotation": 90}); If you need another camera with different parameters then create a new one. You can build the options before the creating the came

I'm not sure if it's intentional or what but most of the sections are duplicated 3 times with some overlap of the tools. Pretty hard to consume.

Wouldn't all colleges just become trade schools at that point?

I agree. I thought there would be evidence in the article but I couldn't find any. The Internet (with net neutrality) is critical infrastructure. But some tech company's product definitely isn't.
