Fair enough, "rich kids" can also mean fresh-out-of-mom-and-dads' with too much money and not enough impulse control. I guess the reason I assume the backlash is against 'kids' and not 'rich' is, to use my

I can't imagine you're this obtuse for real but I'll bite. Pretty sure the backlash is against the "kids" part of rich kids - as the phrase "rich kids" insinuates second-gen wealth, a mass of money without

As an engineer in the industry for going on 6 years with no CS degree, I don't like the fact that people can go to "college" and after they "graduate" from it, they expect to get the jobs that people with half a dec

At least they have a sense of humor about themselves: request.onsuccess = function(event) { // I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING! delete request.result.current; resolve(request.result); };

The lawyers who find positions may get paid well, but the issue isn't just salaries - the legal market was completely swamped about 5 years ago, around the same time many of my friends were graduating law school. A good number of them

afaik the worst of the memory leaks were fixed with the 2.0 release, and they also upgraded QtWebKit to 5.3 which fixed some pretty egregiously outdated constraints (like not having access to Function.prototype.bind) present in the previous

was wondering, is this kernel dev on a private fork? i couldn't find a public fork on your gh and didn't see you listed as a contributor ( https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/graphs/contributors ) - wa

Congratulations on your journey with the company thus far. I simply don't understand why a randomly-dropped plug for said company is at all cogent in the documentation for a library that is released under what seems to be your personal

Alternately, version. Either way it's clobbering

I'm not sure why i would use this over the already-existing phantomjs command line API ( http://phantomjs.org/api/command-line.html ), especially as it adds Ruby to the mix...also quite suspicious of the seemingly-u

i told it "sentience is a lie" 10 minutes ago and it still hasn't responded. this is a cogent enough chatbot that the continued silence actually made me anxious i had offended it, for just the briefest moment. well done, impr

an object literal would provide the same guarantee but without the overhead of function prototype methods, wonder if there's any other reason?

while the particular effectiveness of a runtime's GC is determined by the VM, JS the language doesn't provide operators or types to represent manual memory management - so it's a pretty core feature of the language that wha

the fact that "javascript sucks" wasn't the point of the essay is EXACTLY my point - in an article that should be about calling out bad practices in designing web client experiences, there are judicious sprinklings of critici

can we stop conflating the presence of tons of bad practices in the wild with flaws in JS as a language? every language gives you ways to shoot yourself in the foot (c++ anyone?), if you choose to pull the trigger it's not the language

It's visually clean, but if I were sent this site as a lead on a potential hire, I likely would have closed the tab and gone about my day. A few reasons: - I don't have immediate action items - regardless of remote resource load t

It got a bit better when they added the ability to expand context, but that always felt like a way to avoid committing to split diffs all the way. Glad they're here!

I think the rephrasing "check your assumptions" is better in some senses - part of privilege is the ability to assume certain things and have them be true because you're part of a dominant segment, while others don't hav

or i can just copypasta: time.is = (function(t){ t = ($=a.fns.$(time))||t; return t? t instanceof Date : (+new Date().getTime()); }); time.now = (function(){ return a.num.ify((a.time.is().toString())+'.'+a.num.

HAHAHAHAHA he appends a 4-character string of random numbers to "new Date().getTime()", hides it behind several terribly-named and terribly-namespaced function calls and tries to call it hyper precise: https://github.co

Object.keys has nothing to do with Chrome's DevTools, it's part of the ECMAScript 5 spec and is supported in all modern browsers (and IE >8).
