>well, sure, but ten years ago it was already a given that one would just spawn one event loop per thread and have them communicate with messages, so why is it so hard for node ? This is exactly how backend Node.js development is done. T

IMO arbitrary rules like lambda expressions being limited to one expression do not directly improve readability and maintainability. Consistently using good conventions in the first place will help you more than arbitrary restrictions. And

Koa has been here since 2013 (and some of those other libraries even longer). It is here to stay. Do you see ancient but popular PHP frameworks going unmaintained and reach the point where they collect a significant amount of bugs and vulne

But in this case, the function of the tool is very similar. It's more like switching from one multi-tool to another. Both have a screwdriver, a knife and maybe a bottle opener. They're more than just superficially different for a

I would just like to point out that I have used numerous privacy extensions for firefox ever since I started using it. I've happily found WebExtensions replacements for all of them except for HTTPS Everywhere, which AFAIK is developing

Good. Adding the `let` and `const` scoping rules to javascript was a damn good idea. Although non-lexical lifetimes has nothing to do with this, Rust has had block-based scoping since before 1.0. Non-lexical lifetimes are a refinement to al

Tom Steinburg phrases what I've been thinking for years pretty well: "...urgently tell [facebook] that to not act on this problem now is tantamount to actively supporting and funding the tearing apart of the fabric of society&quot

Honestly, appearing crazy is how stallman attracts his audience. He's the center of a pretty radical social movement, all he needs to do is preach to his fans and his supporters do the persuasion to "normal people". A few yea

It's not that there's a problem with the real terms, it's that stallman's alternative terms better highlight the actual nature of the things he describes. Those phrases are quick substitutions with the potential to make
