The real problem here with the spec committee. Lodash is MUCH faster than native because it uses iterators so you aren't actually looping over and over. We need builtin iterator versions of all these looped functions so it adds an impl

The crazy part is that there's not a really good reason why we couldn't make if..else function as either a statement or expression depending on the context. I think there's a proposal to do that.

The very large State of JS survey skews to even less experience overall with nearly 30% having less than 5 years of experience and a bit over 50% having less than 10 years of experience. https://2021.stateofjs.com/en-US&#x2F

That's simple enough. Look at StackOverflow's survey (or any other) over 50% of professional devs have less than 10 years of experience. That's 2013 or the year React came out and a full 5 years after the launch of Chrome&#x2

This article seems completely filled with nonsense. After YEARS and THOUSANDS of projects proving that 2-way binding causes massive problems, the author insists I shouldn't believe my lying eyes. This may sucker devs with only a handfu

It's demotivating when you know you're doing 80% of the work, but getting paid the same as the other 5 people on the team. When a company finds a great dev, they seldom have the sense to pay that person enough to make them feel mo

If management didn't pay well, qualified people simply wouldn't do it or you'd be limited to people who felt emotionally compensated by getting more power over other people (which is already bad enough).

Kinda. With Alpha, AMD got most of the scientists and Intel got all the IP. HyperTransport (and everything else copied from Alpha) was a cleanroom solution. Intel's Quickpath is closer to Alpha's tech (along with some claims that

"Cup of water" isn't a great example because it would imply then cup was made from water. This makes more sense when you realize "cup of water" is lazy speech for "cup full of water". "of" usuall

When rich people invest, that means they are buying something. That thing gets taxed because they bought it. When they want to sell it to get a profit, someone has to buy it and pay taxes (factoring that tax into the equation also lowers se

Fewer cases or fewer cases that can be discovered? Who's going to verify actual change to a better, less corrupt FBI? From the very first, the FBI spied on politicians using that information to control them and protect itself from inve

Who says it isn't self-preservation? The uni-party keeps them all rich. They are corrupt politicians who know the corrupt FBI people very well. Both keep each other in check as a kind of mutually assured destruction. This means they ca

We ALREADY have a more progressive tax system than almost any other country in the world by a large margin. In reality, that doesn't do a thing. The rich simply make up for you not paying taxes by paying you less. Finally, the rich pay

Speedometer executes a bunch of TodoMVC projects, so it's a mix of JS and DOM work. FF has done a lot of cool work on their DOM and have started to focus some on making JS faster, so they are pretty fast here. https://browse

I've seen quite a few videos of Lancet drones taking out counter-battery radars. There are issues there (a Russian general got in big trouble for speaking out about this), but it is largely overstated. HIMARS are basically identical in

Switchblade 300 is basically an expensive shotgun shell designed to avoid collateral damage. It was made for special forces to take out very specific threats. Ukraine has been doing much better with commercial drones dropping grenades into

Switchblade is in Ukraine, but has performed quite badly. A new design is needed IMO.

I believe drones are actually projected to be smaller and MUCH cheaper. We seem to be heading toward a plane with 1-2 people plus an AI that will cost $300M paired with 5-10 drones each costing around $30M. A real pilot nearby also reduces

Tanks will have a new lease on life when we get a new design with more power (electricity) and a good point defense system (most likely laser based). If we remove drones and ATGMs from the equation, the only viable threats go back to being

Lancet is so powerful in this war that I'd be shocked if we aren't currently working on our own version as fast as we can. CAS is critical to advances. It is somewhat stopped by MANPADS, but stopped very hard by SAMs. When flying

I believe they also have a VTOL capacity of about 5,000lbs (vs 2,500lbs for the Harrier). The second you switch it to STOVL though, that capacity increases dramatically, so there's generally not going to be a reason to attempt VTOL in

Do you have any evidence to back this up? Look at Civilian vs Soldier dead for various major wars. Only ONE war has WAY more soldiers killed than civilians. If Russia is trying to target Ukrainians, they are doing a worse job than any war y

Ukraine has shown that when your airspace and airstrips are contested, the only real answer is limited CAS where you fly in low, drop your load from as far away as possible, then pop flares and head back. A plane that is highly survivable a

No. If they add enough value to justify their existence, shouldn't they also turn a profit? In all other cases, you are just taxing people who don't benefit from those airports to subsidize the few people who do benefit.

Did you know that lots of calculators (including the famous TI-83) actually use CORDIC and that the basics of that method predate calculus by a hundred years? Did you fully understand your tool? Did that keep you from using it? If you know

You could argue that algebra was a precursor of calculus and that basic operations were precursors of algebra. This is a rather reductionist argument. They hadn't even invented zero or algebra when they found ways to produce square ro

Roots were calculated at least as far back as 1800BC thousands of years before calculus existed. Trig functions were indirectly messed with since around at least 300BC and was definitely discovered by Indians around 600AD. Meanwhile Calculu
