Look I happen to agree about refactoring, but my point was that the authors reasons do matter in the context of an organization or the community, even if they don't matter to you as an individual. If there is a best practice here (whic

Your comments don't scale well. Projects have dependencies from teams with various skill levels and external dependencies over most of which you have little or no control. For this and many others reasons "refactoring to simplify&

Love what you guys did wish PageDash. Archiving locally is perhaps the main reason why I'm paying Evernote and not PageDash, however. However, I've never been happy with the way Evernote tries to be a filing system and I like the

For me and I'm sure others one of the most important differences is immutability. This has been a big request from the community, but would be impossible to implement in moment without breaking much code which relies on the current mut

As explained on the website, that's why this is Luxon and not moment 3.0. It's a great approach for them to take that allows them to experiment, grow, and relieve the pressure from calls for change, without disrupting the existing

I've been using cold water at the end of my showers for a while now and it doesn't feel painful or even uncomfortable. Quite the opposite. So, your point may follow but not exactly in the way stated.

Perhaps ICO investments are not yet large enough to matter, but one would wonder if that is drawing away some of the money that would have otherwise been invested in the more traditional way measured by the article.

True, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Blocked accounts cannot follow you. They cannot send direct messages to you. You will not be notified when they mention you. They will not see your tweets in search results. Importantly, th

Not having to deal with tips is THE reason I never bother checking Lyft. Now I guess I have no reason not to check both. Smart move Uber? Aside from that, this is terrible news to me. The tip system is so flawed. 99% of people in America do

I look at it as WebRTC bringing the browser closer to an OS, in terms of the capabilities offered by the browser to application developers, out-of-the-box and without needing to convince or have users install something. In terms of replacin

As I understand it, potential performance gains are higher than 2x, and we're still in a pretty early stage. It depends on your application. Also, as has been mentioned by others, WebAssembly could perhaps evolve to take a greater role

100% ownership does not imply no employees. Also, there's a difference between hiring software engineers, who will be engaging in activities related to your core business, and hiring someone to clean. If the owner does not, or is not a

I agree, but for those considering using flow please beware that it's not a trivial undertaking. I recently converted a small app. There were several mind benders—beyond basic types, annotations can get pretty tricky—and the tooling is

Nice summary, but it downplays the issue. The author has no remedy other than sending a photo ID. Why is an account able to be reactivated using a password known to be compromised? Perhaps Facebook should require an ID _before_ reactivation

These companies operate ethically to be sure, but how much of customers' purchase decision is based on the companies ethics? The original comment implied, at least to me, that the market is ripe for disruption because Uber is acting un

Costco is probably the best example that comes to mind for me to, considering the scale at which they operate and the fact that they are actually widely reputed for their ethical practices. Nonetheless I think they are an exception and, whi

Thanks for this example. I wonder how much ethics contributes to Patagonia's success. I own at least a few things from Patagonia, but I wasn't aware of anything to do with their ethics. I bought them because of (perceived) quality

Every language was designed organically and is full of exceptions and flaws. I don't think most people realize this of their native language. As a native English speaker with a minor in Japanese, I found Japanese to be quite systematic
