Really unfortunate name.

Wow. HN commenters really missed the point here. The point is that not that smart people who went into finance and law somehow fucked up. It may be a perfectly rational and good choice for them. The point is that smart, hard-working people

Krugman doesn't believe that there's any problem with unlimited debt, so of course, he's not going to want austerity. Why would you make sacrifices when you get everything you want, today, for free? There are consequences for

> And like the groups that promote austerity as a cure for economic woes, they have been proven wrong. This is a strawman. Austerity isn't a cure, it's a consequence. If you spend too much and have too much debt, you can't

Nah, I don't think so. Most rules come about because one person, at some point, abused the policy, and so the company tries to make a more explicit rule to prevent the abuse in the future. I don't know the specifics of this case,

Absolutely. It's sort of the same as the "We don't negotiate with hostage-takers" policy. Once you negotiate, it's now a strategy known to work and you'll signal how good of a tactic it is.

This is a more nuanced version of the "silence is violence" position. You're either an activist or you're part of the problem. You're either with us or against us. It's a position that makes total sense and see

6-7 years. Totally acknowledge that the gravy train could come to an end and make life harder. Hopefully that doesn't happen or most of the folks on here will be worse off!

Yeah, I really just have a couple of former clients that would give me as much work as I asked for. Not the most rewarding work, which is why I don't do it anymore.

I feel like my life and career as a software guy is pretty cushy. I work probably 35 hours a week on average, remote, on a schedule I prefer. I have a ton of time left over for socializing, hobbies, TV, games, etc. But, this was a deliberat

It's best to leverage type inference if possible. I can point to entire TypeScript files that could be copied and pasted into a JavaScript file and work with no changes. At some point, yes, you have to use annotations to get the most o

Imagine creating this beast of a "framework" and not even using TypeScript or Flow. What are you thinking? Edit: It does use Flow.

mobx-react-lite (supported by the main mobx team) uses hooks under the hood, but extends mobx-react behavior to SFCs. I don't think it creates any additional boilerplate and it aligns with the direction React is going.

There are multiple things happening here. I don't think a majority or even a double-digit percentage of young people have what this author is calling "hustler" mentality, but we'll ignore that, and focus on the people wh

The problem is, it's configuration free until it's not. If you end up having to pass in a partial Webpack config anyway, how much time are you really saying? The reality is, at this point, Webpack has become a powerful tool with a

I'm not saying there does need to be a requirement. Businesses are not charity. If it doesn't make financial sense to make their website accessible, then they won't unless they're forced to. I'm making no value judg

For a business, at least in the United States, this is basically a financial projection problem. Unlike brick and mortar stores, there is no requirement to make web content accessible to handicapped people.

This is a whimsical belief. No - users actually do want more features. They want more features than you can ever hope to deliver. Figuring out which features they will actually appreciate is the tough part. Your competitors are working very
