You don't see the difference between this and hanging around with a phone to your ear listening to an audio user-interface synchronously waiting until it's ready for you to input commands with your numpad?

Well, that's not by all accounts. That's by one account: direct deaths, which isn't the worst part of a nuclear catastrophe. Only 31 people died during the Chernobyl meltdown, according to its wiki page. The nice thing about

Yes, at which point the prefixes are easier to notice when they are missing. http://blog.izs.me/post/2353458699/an-open-letter-to-javascr... Either way, no matter your preference, the issue is resolved by having a

Yes, but using the word "unlimited" as a temporary marketing gimmick needs to stop.

Javascript must be written specifically to anticipate Google Closure Compiler's dead code elimination. Since the vast, vast majority of Javascript doesn't work with it, the issue certainly wasn't addressed years ago.

This would solve classes of issues with the npm ecosystem (many of which remind me of trying to register a domain name) like name-squatting, trying to think up a marketable-but-untaken name, and ownership transfer. OP claimed a bunch of swe

Though being able to compel yourself to do great things seems like a completely different skill set from being able to do great things on someone else's dime or on a team. For example, my brilliant programmer friend that can't hol

BitPay is an even more brazen example, using the "unlimited" and "forever" combo together in the same sentence. September 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20150709093806/https://bitpa

If you work with such a large build chain, how did you not realize that the flowchart is really about tooling complexity in the javascript ecosystem, in general? Also, the "are you working on a production app?" has two nodes so th

You learn a lot building something from scratch. And it's fun. You start with naive, clean abstractions and slowly encumber them with trade-offs as you make progress. That's a fun Saturday for a lot of us. There's a massive d

It's a trade-off. Having to manually look for replies means that people are less likely to end up in back-and-forths defending their honor on the internet. I'd say most comments don't warrant a response. Everyone shared their

Clicking on a Gittip/Flattr/Patreon badge or looking up a donation Bitcoin address are always worth a sad chuckle. That you've given out a whole schmeckle in a year isn't much of a counterpoint. It's like when someo

Most people are irrationally timid about a little bit of self-promotion and err on the comfortable, meek side of doing nothing at all.

Whois is great for social engineering attackers. You get a name, email, address, and the first service to attack. Meanwhile, the ICANN is working around the clock to make it illegal for us to protect our personal information, and whois prot

On the other hand, 2FA opens up the "I lost my phone" customer support channel which might be just as weak. For example, you can turn on 2FA for sending money via Bank of America's webpanel. As in, you log in with username&#x

It's not a contradiction. Many dream jobs tend to lose their luster by the time you can actually get one. The entire blog post describes their disillusionment. When I was a kid, I wanted to work at Epic because I imagined they'd j

No, they just want some static tooling on top of a dynamic language. We use Typed Clojure where I work. To say it's because we "don't want to write Clojure by hand anymore" would be nonsense. Reading your comments in thi

The ol HN trope where someone tries to wow the rest of us by pointing out just how unimpressed they are. Even snuck in an edit to try and disarm future criticism by preempting it. Bravo.
