PR comments I agree with, but after believing in unit tests for years I'm drifting slowly into the "waste of time" camp. I'm convinced that unit tests don't usually find bugs. IMO, most bugs are edge cases that were

The authors main complaints seem to focus around "but Typescript isn't ES6". I don't have a problem with this because Typescript compiles down to very clean vanilla JS. Unlike C++ to C, Clojure, and Babel the compilation

Yup for me I would say over 30%. I'm sure Consumer Reports will do a study soon and find that near 50% are counterfeit and the stock will drop like a rock.

Because Amazon makes too much money off it to do anything about it. They could easily track everything... but they obviously don't.

+1 for B&H. They're replaces amazon for all my audio and general electronics purchases. Generally the same prices without a chance of counterfeits.

Or any type of wireless headphones. Not sure the percentage, but never got a pair that was real. In fact I don't buy anything from Amazon anymore...

the website and even the domain name are suspect.

Weather is a huge issue for Disney parks. Both are busy all year round and a third park would be no different. It makes no sense to open parks that can only make money part of the year. The data shows the busiest times are December, March,

the last part was just for the lulz. I figured a facebook quality post needed some facebook quality comments.

I don't think it's anywhere near conclusive yet that more layers = better. It's pretty telling that the current state-of-the-art is combining a bunch of layers together in a pseudo random fashion. Nobody understands how these

This comment is absurd. "Your CNN sucks, I know this because I work with better ones all the time. (insert metric that doesn't mean much)" Oh, BTW I do ML consulting lol

Like I said, the major exception is SIMD instructions. AV and heavy math are a tiny fraction of applications. For these you can use JNI. There is precedent for this in Netty where they use a native poll mode driver and everything else Java,

This just isn't true. There's many Java ports of C/C++ applications and benchmarks are usually within 30%.

The level of indirection is minimal, basically c++ with garbage collection. That's why they're statically typed. Both perform within a small margin of native code, with the major exceptions of vector instructions that aren't

No. JS is not statically typed and that prevents the vast majority of optimizations and better memory efficiency(native types underneath).

All of those left-pad libraries are a jest, it's trivial to do padding in those languages. I was wrong about Python and removing packages but on Nuget and Maven you can't, its not allowed. I think it's worth noting that with

There's a ton of annoying little stuff (like doing nothing to prevent path names too long for your filesystem) that could be forgiven for being young, but the big problems are in its architecture. Node module syntax is non standard and

This is risky to say but... NPM is a bad package manager. I could blab about why forever but tons of other people already have. I've never used a popular language with a package manager as bad as npm.

That won't work for me because I'm pretty low on the chain. Its hard to show your value when you're treated like a piece of machinery. I think I just need to make a rainy day fund then go straight into contracting. If I can l

I don't like Oracle DB really, but there's one feature that does stand apart from Postgres. Oracle has an internal scheduler that works much like an OS scheduler, allowing you to set priority and resource usage for each user or co
