I had a horrifying flashback to millions of lines of Hungarian Notation in Fortran and C++ when she described the prefixing for CSS classes. I'm not a frontend developer, but is that really a good practice?

No, carbon-14 dating doesn't even reliably hit 1 million years ago, let alone 3 billion. Edit: Even your Wiki link cites 500,000 years.

You're coming across as a shill either to make DO seem like an infalliable company or to blatantly astroturf enough to get people to hate DO (See jsmthrowaway's sibling comment). I'm less inclined to believe the latter. I&#x2

One view can be taken from applying conservation of energy. As a material deforms, it is absorbing energy and not transferring it to the vehicle nor the passengers. A brittle material will absorb less energy before shattering, letting the r

Not sure why you were downvoted. Something Awful, while incredibly influential early on, didn't really grow because of the paid nature of the forums. 4chan exploded because of the anonymous nature of the memes. They were funny, and the

I just recently had the pleasure of visiting Seoul, but was sad to see JSA tours booked about 3 weeks in advance so I did not get to do the DMZ tour. My grandfather was in the CIA during the Korean War and has quite an interesting perspecti

I agree with you, because that's how the legislative system works. Lobbying, pass-this-or-we-all-die-scaremongering to whip the votes, and more all fall under the rules of the legislative process. Like I said before, you and I share an

Thank you for exactly making my point. There is a legislative process, no matter how ad hoc and pressing the issue is, that can attempt to rescue US fiat. There's no way to divine every rule which is needed for a fiat currency to kee

As an outsider looking in on trying out my first cryptocurrency, Ethereum was definitely on my radar. Now that the founders have shown they are capable and will undo the way the system has executed if they do not like it, I feel much more c

I would love it if there were a keyword to check if an error return value received was non-nil, and then return it and default values for other return types if so. So: if x, err := foo(); err != nil { return 0, nil, err }
