The inventor of JavaScript will have to find something else to do. Woe unto him. It's not a witch hunt if we really did catch him red-handed using his magical powers for evil.

One man can't be CEO because other people complained on the Internet. A great many people temporarily couldn't get married because that one man paid good money to make it so. And your sympathies lie with the poor persecuted CEO.

I still can't imagine how you expect this to ever have gone. "Well, those other people are fighting to take away something important to us, so I guess we'll just quietly smile and nod"? I hardly expect anyone whose way

Then social forces were preventing him from doing his job — which has a large social component. Does he have the right to not be fired for being an inadequate employee, too?

He's still allowed to be CEO of Mozilla. (Calling a specific job posting a "right" seems a stretch — do I have the right to be CEO of Mozilla? Where are the complaints that I'm being effectively prevented from exercisi

Marriage is both legal and social, and the two are heavily intertwined (hence the religious objections). The recognition itself is, arguably, a right. The argument is then that the government should respect the right, not "grant&quot

He didn't stand up for his beliefs. He dodged all questions about them, hid behind Indonesia (?!), professed his love of inclusion and free expression, and expressed zero regret for having donated. If he'd at least come out and s

Slavery seems a poor example, since the people with the "wrong" opinion were already rich and powerful, and the people with the "right" one were... well, slaves. A large part of this Eich fiasco has been rejection of g

Free speech does not mean, and has never meant, freedom from social consequence. The Constitution does not say that you can do and say whatever you want and other people can't have opinions about it. Eich paid good money in an attem

I'll admit I'm slightly alarmed that "you can't ever post another comment until other people do X" didn't set off some klaxons for you.

I've had an HN account for over two years. I have 328 karma. That's a whole lot of comments I'd have to post to get to 1000 karma. I don't feel that invested in HN, so it's more likely I just won't comment a

The announcement post says the actual type-checking happens in a persistent server that watches for filesystem changes. That sounds pretty close to continuously running a linter. It also says "without breaking things", so I&#x27

Statically-typed Python would ruin a great number of Python libraries you'd probably want to be using. It'd be a very different language. Once you have type annotations, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to enforce them s

Er, `paste serve --reload` restarts small-to-medium Python projects faster than I can alt-tab, which is actually faster than my static blog engine can regenerate itself too.

Which is nonsense, because: 1. I have never seen a framework that didn't go to great lengths to update to new changes quickly in development 2. Which means you lose resources between requests, unless you stuff them into the interpreter

rsync will easily handle a few lines changed in a large number of files. Or you could just, y'know, run the static site generator on the server. What Linux doesn't have Python installed?

Conversely, I wonder how much time/money has been spent porting away from PHP, or working on stuff like hiphop? I don't have an estimate, but it's an interesting question if you're going to argue in terms of economic imp

I assume because even Back In The Day, PHP functions lived in a namespace, i.e. a hash table, i.e. a thing where you want the hashes of the keys to be somewhat evenly distributed.

This is completely false. Firefox extensions have access to everything the browser does and can contain arbitrary native code. There's a reason Mozilla's addon repository has a review process. What makes addons better than Acti

Even Google, champion of HTML5, still forces the Flash player on YouTube for videos that have ads, regardless of what your browser supports (or doesn't). So immediately caving on h.264 wouldn't have gotten rid of Flash; it would&

So they need to do something like create a completely free codec that blows current offerings out of the water? :) I read some of the Daala "demos". I don't know video codec technology from a hole in the ground, but it soun

`git difftool` is pretty much just like `git diff`, except that it shows the diff with your tool of choice.

I assume if you're using `git diff`, you're not comparing adjacent commits. And asking git for "diff these two commits but ignore this third one" is nontrivial.
