This is definitely a surprising opinion to find on HN. Usually the prevailing thought is that anything that is even remotely heavy on JavaScript is bad design and therefore inherently unusable, unportable, etc. Whereas this is essentially J

C# does not require scaffolding any more than Python does. It comes with a large standard library (aka .NET). Even the NodeJS standard library is quite large now too. How much setup you need really depends on what you are trying to do; if y

Intuitive function names like __new__() and __init__()? Or id() and pickle.dumps()? The accessibility of Python is overrated. It's a language with warts and issues just like the others. Also the lack of static typing is a real hindranc

We need to see a move toward the gold standard. People should generally be trading dollars for gold, even if it's virtual gold. Ever since we got off the gold standard, compensation has been lagging behind productivity, and that means

I hope you are at least getting paid to proliferate the doomerism. Societal direction is influenced by, well, society.

Another annoying thing Go proponents say is that it is simple. It is not. And even if it was, the code you write with a simple language is not automatically simple. Take the k8s control plane for example; some of the most convoluted and bul

That’s how it was for over a decade, with the browser quirks and inconsistent behavior. Why is that good?

To push back on this article's thrust, those are actual issues that can occur with dependencies. It's just that they usually don't , and most dependencies are harmless, small, and transparent, so articles like this and peo

When I first moved to the Bay Area, San Francisco was described by one person to me as "quite conservative actually." At the time, that seemed unlikely. However after a while, I can now see why this is the case.

Is that not the very reason to have documentation in the first place, the fact that it is not a human?

When I think of content you'd find on HN, the essence is probably best captured by Paul Graham's essays. And yet, those are by and large political, in fact the very first one is. [1] [1] https://www.paulgraham.com/

Politics have escaped their sandbox, that's why. When you say "politics" what you actually mean is the disintegration of the whole system.
