By the time USB C is widely used they will move on to a different standard This appears to be an argument for never adopting any new connector, ever. You think we should have stuck with RS232?

I believe it's generally the soapy toothpaste ingredients (sodium lauryl sulfate) that mess with your mouth chemistry and make things taste weird for a while afterwards, not mainly the mint flavour. Other kinds of toothpaste (e.g. I so

$9.6m AUS sounds like peanuts for this — something is surely wrong here.

I'm with you on that. The one line version isn't prone to goto fail, and to me reads very nicely. if (x == 1) return; The two line version, however, I avoid like the plague. if (x == 1) return;

Yeah, I have been all-in on CoffeeScript until recently, and significant whitespace is one of its best features for me. It's a DRY issue.

I am considering very much the same question — in fact, I got here via an HN search for 'AWS Lambda'. I am currently using Heroku + Heroku Postgres, but increasingly feeling overcharged and not entirely impressed. At the moment I&

We're small enough not to have a legal team yet. But if we did, this is not something I'd be overruled on easily. The technical issues seem pretty clear cut, and if you have a written policy in place (and it was there before anyth

I'm not qualified to say whether this is good advice from an individual's perspective, but from the point of view of a society that would like justice to be done this is just extraordinarily screwed up. How are the police going to

Yes, I believe there are several precedents. Tavis has found remote code execution exploits in Sophos[1] and TrendMicro[2] products too. Continuous protection by nature opens up an enormous attack surface, and AV vendors' seem in no wa

There were dreadful lies on both sides. I disagree. Leave's lies were on a completely different (larger) scale. Most fundamentally, Leave claimed that Brexit would not be an economic disaster, which they cannot possibly have known —

As something of a side note on this post, suggesting there is a single 'Dart/CoffeeScript route' that languages can take seems a bit misleading. Dart is a whole different language that happens to be transpilable to JS. Coffee
