Honestly, I don't think he'd need a case against Amazon for this. If the original company refuses to pony up and Amazon was made aware, I feel like they'd just do it since it would be good PR to help make it right since what

Some of that is possible, but some of that is not. Consider the use case of WeakMaps or Proxies that cannot truly be polyfilled, they need to be implemented at the language level. Suppose you could transpile what is possible, then throw er

Given the option between eating less and swallowing frozen poop, I think eating less will prove to me the more attractive offering.

I don't make nearly that much (I wish!) but as a middle-class taxpayer in CT, here are my feelings on the matter. I am most certainly not opposed to the idea of taxes since society cannot function without the government providing some

Newer powders are hard to make, but black powder is actually relatively easy to make from what I understand. You certainly won't be shooting modern quality ammunition, but guns are still possible. The .38 special was originally a blac

Wait what? It doesn't even at least parse the URI to ensure that it's a dell subdomain? Damnit Dell.

Are you really going to pull out the PC card for ISIS/Daesh? I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this, but I really couldn't care less about their feelings. At all.

It also depends on what you mean by commit. Are we talking 5 commits in 1 merge request (Git style), or 5 individual pieces of code to be reviewed separately? In any case, I think 5 per week is extremely reasonable; I actually do less thes

For some card holders, it may be worth it to transition to another no annual fee card rather than closing the account itself. Age of credit is one important component of your credit score, and my AMEX is my second oldest account.

Very cool! I was going to be sitting down soon to reason about the $compile step in Angular 1 to see if there were any leaks. It'll be interesting to run this against my test case and see what pops out. Thanks!

I'd be curious about one potential downside to this (v8 specific, maybe others too) Functions that contain a try/catch cannot currently be optimized by V8. If we migrate to using try/catch rather than `.then/.catch`, I

It's not actually that terrible, but then again it depends on what you're building I suppose. Where I work, I made a fairly robust image diffing utility that runs using Selenium/WebDriver on all browsers that we support. Com

That barely qualifies imo. The plugin mechanism is just prototypical inheritance - you're just adding methods to a prototype, nothing more.

Has nothing at all to do with either NAT or the Firewall rules; it has to do with routing. Assuming your modem/router has this capability, all you should need to do is set up a static route pointing to the network/subnet that the

The corner cases are extremely important and are only "rare" relative to the overall number of people driving. When you have 100MM cars (not a researched number) on the road, that one in a million chance happens 100 times every d

This is not a hard and fast rule and I have no idea if there is any pattern, but I reserve getters for trivial properties like `firstName + " " + lastName;` If it does any non-trivial amount of work, then I always use a function.

Doesn't look like you can actually scroll with a mouse either. I mean the scrolling itself works, but the dropdown closes on mouseup.

Be careful with that assertion. jQuery's `.then` method has returned new Promises since 1.8. In jQuery 3.0, their Promises will be fully Promises/A+ compliant as long as you're using `.then` ( `.done` and `.fail` are remainin

Bluebird has this built in. For a quick userscript where I needed something similar, I created this which works ( warning: no unit tests, but it works for me ) https://gist.github.com/dcherman/4dfba0d72c008ee5b59d It&

Javascript is perfectly fine. I think you mean the DOM is historically an unusable mess, but even that is getting better these days.

I don't understand this mindset of not using technology due to a lack of trust. I can easily understand not blindly following an AI's findings, however they should probably be item #1 for the attending doctor to investigate. The

I used to be obese when I was younger. It's true that I had a pretty horrendous diet, however I blame say 80-90% of the problem on my overconsumption of soda. After learning about nutrition, it was horrific just how easy it is to down

That shouldn't even be a Promise imo. That should be an expression on your directive that is called with the selection. `on-select=handleSelection( selectedItem )` or something.

I completely disagree with the assertion that controllers should be as lean as possible, but I agree that the specific example that he gives is atrocious. When it comes to controllers, I only have a few rules: 1. Never, EVER use $scope.$di

If you treat a credit card the same as cash, then there is literally no difference in how much you should be spending, but you need the discipline to actually do that. There are a number of benefits to using credit cards that cash doesn&#x2

I don't know how accurate this statement is, but I find this pretty ironic. "The extraterritorial reach of the income tax dates from the Civil War, when the government wanted to prevent Americans from fleeing to Britain to avoid t
