IMHO those bad examples are more or less bad, because of the high expectations and reputation of the company that released the language. Having in mind the age of Swift this site would not be so surprising if behind it there was a smaller t

If the authors are here, I suggest them to do a KickStarter project. I think it would be valuable.

Usually comments like this are not good. My tip : don't go radical in your opinion. Sayings like : "This is shit, that's awesome!" are just not true. Developers are always struggling to find a solution of their problem.

The best performance benefit will come if the whole page is pre-generated with something like jekyll [1] or assemble [2]. There is even a grunt module that uploads the generated site to S3, which is HN-traffic proof. Of course if you need s

I hope I don't put oil in the fire, but OS X is more close to any Linux ( since it's unix based ) than Windows is going to be, which makes a great difference for any developer. I can benefit all available *nix tools in it's n

I'm regularly using IE for testing with VirtualBox and images from Microsoft's official site [1]. Though I doubt there is a possibility to do the other way around with Safari on Windows. [1] http://modern.ie/

When I was in my early teenage years I was already making some development efforts on Pascal, VisualBasic and later on I switched to linux and started doing Perl CGI web apps. Back in time when I had to choose if I want to do CS degree I wa

Amazing video. What I noticed is that they also use 10:10 as a time to display when advertising the watch [1]. http://mentalfloss.com/article/22461/why-1010-default-settin...

That's true, but for many reasons it helps, when you are in doubt for a way to do something. I usually use a lot of CoffeeScript's ideas. Namely class inheritance. Of course when I work in a team or on a big project I don't e

There is another one from "Smashing Magazine" [1], I think it's written better : > In quite a few discussions online about reclaiming memory in JavaScript, the delete keyword is brought up, as although it was supposed to b

Or the alternative : [1,2,3].map( function(i) { return new User(i); } ); might seem more reasonable in the JS world.

I also agree with what you are saying. JS in terms of usage is so big that I guess developers behind JS compilers will have to optimize for "the most popular way of solving that problem". In any case, why I mentioned preprocessors

One of the greatest things about preprocessing languages is that they usually use optimized and hard-tested features of the specific language. Let's examine CoffeeScript ( which is one of the most popular ) : class Foo cons

I agree. A couple of days ago there was a mention about Wirth's law [1], which reminded me how far we went with containers. I'm using vagrant for development and sometimes I run 2-3 containers with the same project. My MacBook has

Do you have some proof of what you are saying or that's just an opinion?

It would not be bad, but the adapter that gives me two ports will be a part of my trip. At airports for example I'm carrying only my MacBook and usually put in there charger and the my phone, now I have to also carry an adapter to do t

Can you give more specific examples of "We all dissociate, but to a much lesser degree". Looks interesting to do more googling on that, but I have no keywords.

I totally agree. That's my first argument against the idea of the OP. In these days you have out-of-the-box so many already working API clients and already so many public API End-points that it would be really, really hard to create so

I totally agree with your opinion. On the contrary, I've been in a position that I have to decide for applicants ( by doing technical interview ) if they could do the work or can not do it. It was a pleasant job when I can see some spa
