The TDD style bottom-up approach can be handy too. On a recent project I write most of the tests first, to consider the API before implementation. These should come in handy when future developers join the codebase and need to understand th

While I appreciate your sarcasm, this sort of thing will need to be done on a nation-by-nation basis. Take it up with your own damn parliament or whatever.. you don't need to wait on Silicon Valley for a fix. When it comes to online so

Of course individuals shaped the planet long before corporations existed, but once people could organize and compete, individual farmers lost control.. right? These days, farmers are beholden to governments, banks, and agro companies, who u

It may be harder as a host/driver, but you're right that they may have fixed that dependency. Back in 2008, it was one of the main ways you could trust the car or house that you're about to step into.

It does effectively have a monopoly on online identity. Organizations like Uber and Airbnb depend on FB accounts for trust. But I think the most effective way to take down the monopoly isn't by regulating, because it may hurt consumers

Humanity may win here, but you should be careful about how you define it. Individual humans don't control much more of our environment than animals do. Like animals in a zoo, we are often born into very constrained situations that wild

That statistic is wildly and purposefully misleading. It compares the safety of Autopilot (which only drives on the freeway) with human drivers on any road. Accidents-per-mile are already much lower on the freeway. Plus, the statistic ignor

I think we've seen a proliferation of one concept, often disguised as many things: the container for a program. A long time ago, the program was your whole OS, you'd boot into it. The computer is the container. Then we introduced

Agreed, but cross-posting is a pain so it probably won't happen. Unless somebody makes an app to cross-post automatically, I don't see PeerTube getting much adoption from the mainstream. Even if such a cross-posting app existed, i

So, if a lot of the Angular decline is due to people migrating off of v1, and v2 isn't gaining in popularity as fast, is it really misleading to say that Angular is in decline? To me it seems that tons of Angular 1/2+ users are ad

I understand that Angular as we know it today is basically a total re-do of AngularJS (v1), but I'm curious, how is it misleading to group them together when comparing to other frameworks?
