Anecdotal but I switched to Chrome when it came out because it's JS engine was (or at least felt) massively faster than Firefox's.

Maybe this is pedantry, but I have a problem with "if something gets through broken, then you know where to add a test". No. If something gets through broken, your tests have failed to fulfill their purpose.

It's worth noting that Wikileaks had requested help from the Pentagon in censoring these names, but the Pentagon refused. Are you going to hold them accountable, or is this just a convenient stick to smack Assange with? It's also

But the customer is easily distracted. That's why we have things like Facebook where customers will happily give up their privacy in return for a little functionality. Please sir, can I have some more?

You definitely can point to specific versions. That being said, most package managers can contain malicious code and very few of them actually review their packages. Besides, any company using NPM seriously probably has their own proxy in f

Nobody is talking about the price of app distribution though. It's about the cost of a Spotify subscription. This subscription has nothing to do in the slightest with Apple. Apple doesn't have to promote it, distribute it, host it

It sounds like you read a lot of articles about why JS is bad, but don't have a lot of experience with it. * 10-day design? Nobody is using Javascript 1.0 anymore. * Typing is available to various extents thanks to Flow and/or Typ

> TypeError: $(...).forEach is not a function And so it starts. jQuery uses .each, not .forEach. So you fix that. But stuff still doesn't work. Right, because jQuery's .each passes the index as first parameter and the element a

In my experience, a lot of unit tests are written with mocks, expectations, and way too much knowledge of the implementation details, which leads to broken tests simply by refactoring, even if the behavior does not change at all. If you tes

I think the amount of Americans who couldn't care less if it's not about spying on Americans is probably substantially higher than 0.0001%.

I've been playing Candy Crush casually for the last 4 years, I'm at a ridiculously high level and have never spent a penny on it. I don't think calling it a slot machine is fair.

Ironically, complaining about the elegant solution of padding the array with "well this is going to suck on a multi-gigabyte in-memory dataset" is pretty much the definition of premature optimization. Chances are very high his dat

If paying to send email is your suggested solution, I can see why you don't like the meme in question. But the suggestion is rife with problems. How exactly are you going to get everyone to start paying for email, which is free today?

But that logic also applies to search in general (in fact, it applies even more there, because Google actually makes money off ads on search but not off news). I call it greed because news websites have always had the option to exclude them

News sites complain about Google stealing their content, which is why the law came into existance in the first place. Which is, of course, ridiculous, because they profit a lot from the eyeballs sent their way by Google. It's just plai
