Establishment bias still matters a lot. Voters over 65 make up a shockingly high fraction of overall turnout, and they get more of their information from old media. (Converselt, the median CNN viewer is 68 years old...) This election showed

I also agree with 90% of what OP proposes. He didn't explain what he likes about eslint-airbnb. A lot of open source projects are adopting Standard ( https://github.com/feross/standard ) and I've had a great ex

Of course they decided not to have it. It's not like they aren't capable of implementing simple features. I just think it's a dumb decision. For many Twitter accounts, the top tweets are a lot more interesting than the late

Thats about Gorgon Stare and similar plane / blimp / drone based survillance. Satellites orbit at an altitude several 100 times higher and are much less invasive. There are a lot of cool applications, like cartography, monitoring

This is my favorite thing about Go. All language arguments aside, Go coders are usually pragmatic and humble and Go code is usually simple and explicit.

The convertible tablet aspect seems like a gimmick, but other than that it looks v nice. The part where it will actually have a clean Windows installation with no crapware is pretty excellent.

Vice runs vacuous clickbait sometimes, but they've gotten a LOT better in the last few years and they also do some excellent journalism now. In particular, their feature-length documentaries are consistently amazing, as is Vice on HBO.
