   I don't actually know the history of JavaScript style, but I feel like this assertion is likely trivializing something more complex: >The reason you were once told trailing commas are bad is because they are invalid in EcmaScript 3.

   The caption is kind of amusing with it's literal-ness and complete irrelevance to the story: > People are silhouetted as they pose with laptops in front of a screen projected with binary code and a Central Inteligence Agency (CIA) e

   It looks like all the analysis is just on base salary. It would be much more interesting if it included bonus and stock.

    This is definitely consistent with my experience. Every candidate I've interviewed for software engineering internships this year says that their main technical interest is machine learning.

    That actually seems kind of dangerous. It could cause people to pull out their phones to check whether the ad actually turned airplane mode on.

    Wow, I used to use Trillian in when I was in high school (somewhere around 2002). I'm surprised and impressed that it's still a thing!

    Here's a totally wild guess. Wikipedia says LinkedIn has 8735 employees. Let's guess that before the crash, employees had an average of $50,000 of stock each. The price is down about 50% the past year. 8735 * 50,000 * 0.5 = $218 m

    > why do so many programmers think their job is inherently more special and difficult than everyone else's? Probably largely because they get paid more than all of their peers when they start their careers.

    I'm not a doctor, but from the outside, it seems that practicing medicine is mostly about memorizing a whole bunch of things and then doing them correctly over and over again. Law actually seems quite similar to programming. You can th

    Material and Bootstrap are very different, so I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but FWIW, IBM does have some resources available, including what appears to be working code in the "animation library" https:&#

    I definitely agree with your point, so I apologize for nit picking. IMO, "does it work?" is a QA question. The design question would be "does it do anything useful?"

    There's also a difference from the user perspective. Presumably Google will indicate AMP content in the search results page (with an icon, etc), which will let users know the page will open "instantly." If you build a great m

    IBM actually seems to be taking design very seriously. They're hiring 1000 designers, and the design program has significant support from the CEO. More background here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/15/b

    Is there anything new here? This site was all over the tech news last year when it was released, but I can't tell what, if anything, has changed now.

    Thanks, this definitely sounds useful! I think it would also really help to have some kind of notification in the HN header.

    Does anybody know how Multireddits are working out? I personally use them extensively, but I've never seen any data on how successful they've been overall.
