Is pro-NSA a Republican stance?

That article cites 'shootingtracker.com' as a source, which is a known-false propaganda site, as it includes accidents with airsoft guns in their list of "mass shootings". I have been shot by an airsoft gun. It stung a b

I suspect this is why the Texas economy looks to be doing so well right now.

GPG has a massive "last mile" problem. I suspect that people would gladly accept the ability to send and receive encrypted, signed emails, but the hassle factor of getting set up is simply too high.

That really is the case. Completely asinine, but if you are a public figure, the masses can be shockingly awful. There is an interesting article where Penn and Teller compare their rather large influx of death threats with Richard Dawkins

While I haven't exactly conducted an in-depth study, dang seems to have a fairly even hand when it comes to moderation. HN, after all, should be about building stuff, not the outrage du jour.

I have lived in more than a few countries over the past ten years, which has helped me to understand my own country better, both in terms of what we do wrong, and also, what we do right. > Your mention of fundamental human rights is a bi

This is a response to you, and not a commentary on what's happening at Reddit right now. The ACLU would disagree. One of their landmark cases involved defending the constitutional right of a group of Nazis to hold a peaceful demonstrat

You also want to provide some information about the team, and some contact information. I love the idea, but right now, your landing page looks very suspect. No contact information, no US phone number or office address, nothing about the

As I am generally interested in reading raw data about issues like this, care to provide a source?

A number of reasons that form an important lesson in sales at the enterprise level: 1. Oracle does provide value. They have clustering and high-availability offerings that Postgres just can't touch, and those come with service and su

While that's likely part of it, that's not the entirety of things. To be fair, I would wager that fatpeoplehate had its share of trolls, but I would definitely believe that the vast majority of its denizens were former fat people,

Damnit, I just wrote a sweet gem that handles this... ah, okay, but it requires an index constraint, whereas I needed to merge on arbitrary conditions. So I didn't totally waste my time. Way to go Postgres team!

This looks seriously useful, but I'm having a hard time seeing how something like Relay will play ball with, say, vector clocks, or client-side undo, as it sounds fairly welded to the Component. Maybe the idea is to do that all on the

"Agile", or "XP", or anything else along those lines is no substitute for leadership . For giving a damn about the team, the product, or the company. No amount of sprint planning, backlog grooming[1], or sock-monkeys fl

One of the most important things that I've learned over the years is that the Daily Stand-Up is a tool that solves a particular problem. Specifically, if you have a team that doesn't communicate effectively on a daily basis, the

Ah, fair enough. I usually deref before handing the data off to the rendering chain, on the basis that future updates will just kick off another render loop.

Oh god, this. Using Immutable (via Immstruct) has been glorious , but this has been a minor annoyance that I'll be glad to be rid of. Now all I need to do is sort out some issues with dispatch and I'm good to go...

I'm curious to see how mixins play out with ES6. While something similar to 'include' in Ruby would be nice, I've got a hard time seeing how that would fly with multiple invocations of getInitialState, for example. Of co

Oh, certainly. To address the original post, though, the numbers that the top-tier gals are putting up are in the same league as male lifters with 2-3 years of training, which sounds fairly moderate to me.

It seems to work reasonably well for the two non-toy apps I've worked on that use a single state object. There are two key rules required to make this work, however: 1. For each domain, state can be modified in one place (in React, a s

Not exactly. Learning a new programming language -- really learning it, and understanding how the ecosystem works -- is a three- to six-month process for most programmers. Let's say my team needed a new developer for a hardware project

While I have no comment on the parent article, I have done a lot of market research over the past few years, as part of a potential product to help companies hire better people, faster. In doing so, I've noticed that there are two prim

The problem as I see it is that H1B isn't really immigration; it's even classified as a "non-immigrant" visa, created so that companies can temporarily employ foreign workers. H1B holders are effectively tied to their em

I always thought that the theory behind Buzzfeed was to use a mountain of linkbait to fund actual journalism...? Of course, that doesn't help much to sort the bullshit from the pony, but it's not the worst idea.
