I find that (the prevalence of iPhone vulnerabilities) hard to believe, but I’m not an expert. What evidence do you have in support of this position? To be clear, I believe there are vulnerabilities, just not they are as common or as easy t

I can’t read that, but one of the unique features of the “standard” US 30-year fixed rate mortgage is that there’s no penalty for early payoff. As a result, it’s easy to refinance when rates go down, which is almost certain to occur during

The loudest voices on HN are the ones most eager to show how “smart” they are. They do that by putting down other people’s work. See also “middlebrow dismissal.” I’ve had a few articles of mine show up on the front page. They were interesti

Your reaction here is a bit overblown. Do you often have concerns about imagined futures? If so, you might want to look into a condition called "anticipatory anxiety."

The EcmaScript implementation of decorators is quite nice—it’s just syntactic sugar for a higher-order function call. Much better than the spooky reflection-based approach you see in some other languages.

Polymorphism is useful when switch statements are repeated , as a way of eliminating that duplication, not when there’s a single well-encapsulated switch statement.

I’ve seen no ads on my AppleTV, other than what apps/services show me. However, each app in the top row gets to populate the top half of the screen with its own content. I primarily use Netflix, which just displays the shows I recently

Correction: five cases where a vehicle rear-ended the Waymo, one where the Waymo rear-ended another vehicle. In that case, the other vehicle merged into the Waymo's lane and immediately braked. Incident #7 on p11 of the report.

It’s administrative/sales/etc work for the consulting business, not for the client. There’s something fishy about the $3,000/hr rate, though, because the high-end consultants I know—and I suppose I count myself among them—don

37signals disagrees. They’re moving off the cloud and have published several blog entries about the process and the approx ~1mm/yr (fully loaded) they expect to save. I don’t have a horse in this race, but it’s interesting that your ex

You can’t compare spot rates like that to a sustained income. A huge part of high-end consulting is doing administrative, marketing, and sales work that’s unpaid.

Map’s second and third parameters are optional. Your functions aren’t required to implement them, which is good, because most of the time you don’t need them. Again, this isn’t a type system issue. It’s both an API design issue and a poor p

Have you looked at Node + TypeScript? I'm just starting to dig into TS, but its type system is one of the better ones I've seen. And Node is nice and mature with good async capabilities.
