I think you nailed the answer to the question. Many people are going to come in and answer a different question (why PHP kinda sucks), while willfully ignoring that you can make pretty reasonable arguments about why any language/framew

I love material design, and this is more related to material design than this theme, because this is a beautiful and faithful implementation for web, but that button ripple is obnoxious. It also makes the ui seem very sluggish, because the

Or even in ES5... [].filter(function(item) { return item != null; }); It's not patched on the prototype, but I'm not sure why something that simple needs to be.

Sure, that is a nice one liner, but the reason that JavaScript code is so ugly is because it's what the CoffeeScript function compiled to.

Agriculture is a practice affected by loads of variables that are often not well understood. Farmers could definitely benefit from products that could be created by applying data science to all the information collected from other farmers,

I have a Yoga 2 Pro and can at least confirm that Linux compatability isn't wonderful, though it is usable. The main problem is that HiDPI is a serious issue for lots of software that I use everyday, like Chrome and Android Studio. I a

Greedy? Not only are you the first engineering hire, but you're the first engineer, of what I presume is a technology company. The salary is too high and the equity too low for a company at that stage.

Right. Except bankers don't understand finance either, but they think they do. And when they showed that to the world by breaking the entire financial system, instead of having to pay the price of hubris, these champions of capitalism

I have an economics and accounting degree, and taught myself to program at my first job as a Business Analyst. We were using some terrible off the shelf vendor product for business intelligence. I knew I could do better, so I built one. The

Right, but I think that's what he's saying. Statistics can only describe the average outcome, which is only interesting when evaluating how extraordinary the actual outcome was.

Interesting, but why not use redis pub-sub for the job queues instead of forwarding to RabbitMQ?

Yes. Backbone basically supplies CRUD mapping and an event bus. So it is opinionated about models. But CRUD is a solved problem that's easy to implement, and view / controller code ends up being the bulk of your application. I&#x2

Paulson was Secretary of the Treasury; the bailout was a government program, not Federal Reserve. That said, the quantitative easing programs are basically bailouts, just not as overt as opening up the public treasury.

As as extension to this idea, I do stuff like this sometimes in coffee. $.when.apply($, (object.request() for object in objects)).done (responses...) -> doStuff()

Just buy the S&P and make 30% a year. The Fed's got your back! If that's not good enough, buy the Nasdaq or Russell.

This. People complaining about what JavaScript lets you do just need to learn how to exploit its strengths while being aware of its dangers. It's like someone complaining that git let them make a mess after they merged master into thei

Yes, you're still ineligible for financial aid if your parents make too much money.

This is about identical to where I was a few months ago. I started working in a very corporate environment (like, no casual Fridays even) out of college as a Business Analyst. They hired me to maintain and manage an off-the-shelf vendor sys
