I have a related question. How do you earn a living from scraping, in any year? Is that a thing? Was that ever a thing? Like others have said: earn money by doing things that people want enough to pay you for. It's like asking &quot

I also think it's worth noting that fat arrow class methods is not a feature of JavaScript/ECMAScript, but rather a feature of Babel. It might make it into a future standard, but so might decorators (including autobinding decorat

What makes you think that it got flagged because sex is a taboo topic? I followed the link because I think sex is an important topic, and should be anti-taboo. I flagged it because I think it's a bad article. I mean, I'm not ril

I recently had this food, the cozido cooked in Furnas. It, like every other piece of meat I ate in the Azores, was cooked incredibly poorly (mammal or bird; I have no opinion on the fish). I do not understand how people can recommend it.

That is an amazing characteristic in a project for building websites. What in the what.

Might wanna check your arithmetic. I'm honestly baffled that it's so low. I think it's safe to assume that the reason that Denmark does so is to assert territorial control over sub-oceanic resources that are hypothesized to

First, this post is not about flow program control, it's about controlling data-flow. I made the same mistake at first, but the post literally makes zero sense with the other reading. Second, your solution does not limit the acceptanc

Why not count NPL? That'd be 1969. What makes an internet an internet is that it's an interconnection of networks. In 1969, ARPANet is still only one network; by definition it's not an internet. So by that conception, mayb

I dunno what the point of this anecdote was, but the parent poster was right to mock the word "disenfranchise". If the American business doesn't want the buck, they don't want the buck. If they do want the buck, they d

If you have developer computers with client data on it, semi-anonymized or not, I want you fined until you stop. What the hell is wrong with that hypothetical business? It's like restaurants putting the toilet in the kitchen. Shut th

The absolute most important thing in ReactRouter does indeed boil down to what you said, no disagreement. But there are some niceties, if I'm not mistaken. You want the things in your app that look like links to have some interesting

As a Vancouverite, I found people less adventurous, less free-thinking, and greedier, in the Valley. Not by a huge margin, but still. But if you're in it for the money, the 2x salaries can't be beat.

I don't disagree with common usage, but common usage is not what's being discussed here. It is a side effect in programming usage (not just HTTP). Something is side-effect-free if and only if the only result of it running is that

Yes, and nullipotency requires x = f(x) = f(f(x)), and four of the methods defined in RFC7231 are expected to be nullipotent, otherwise known as "safe". The point of mentioning that is to highlight the relationship between idempo

Literally the reason HTTP verbs are a thing is so that User Agents like Safari can do exactly this. If this weren't a by-design property of the HTTP protocol, we wouldn't even have methods. Read the spec!

It does apply to HTTP idempotency. `x` is the state of the server. `f` is the change to the state of the server that ensues when one makes such-and-such an HTTP call. So taking PUT as an example, `x` is the state before the PUT, `f(x)` i

It's not that other languages don't have references, or that they cannot redefine references. It's that the phrase "pass by reference" is a term of art in compiler design, and all language theorists including those

Yeah, I think "often disagree and often sensationalist" is a good assessment. For any given Reg article, I won't rule out that maybe the author is a nutter, but they're usually well-informed or interesting or amusing or

It's a very common criticism. And as a teacher of programming to adult students, this causes a small amount of wasted time with the overwhelming majority of students, because they know what "=" means, even the non-mathematica

The reason you get those google results is because your understanding is not consistent with how other people use the words. Your suggested usage is reasonable, but it's not the usage that is common, and I suggest that you change your

If you think that immutability and laziness are inherently part of functional, then you're part of the new-school-is-the-only-school problem. I mean, I'm not saying that immutability and laziness aren't interesting. But FP h

I'd suspect not. Rather, I'd suspect it's a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eudaemonic_Pie , which is about work that was probably inspired by Shannon and Thorp.

I was stoked for a sec. I'm a gamer who overuses video games, for sure, and especially late at night. But it'd need to cope with my (evolving) Steam library. So far in 2018 I've spent meaningful late-night play time on half

This is precisely the compensation scheme that seems best. I think I'd be comfortable paying 1/3 of the boost, for as long as I keep the job (probably with repeat business for the agent, when I change jobs). Maybe with a cap of a

I'm not an expert, but I think the broad strokes are pretty straightforward. Let me take a shot. It depends on the type of plant. There's a concept in power generation of "base load", https://en.wikipedia.org

This sort of issue is exactly where Wikipedia fails, actually, and as a devout user and lackadaisical editor of Wikipedia, I'd like to see it get freer of propaganda wars, not more embroiled in them.

Some of these rules are "how not to sound like an amateur", especially #3 through #6. I think these are nearly universal. Others are how to keep the fiction feeling fun, like the rules about not physically describing characters.

If you didn't bond over the computer games you were playing (in 1999 or whenever), that just means that you personally were doing it wrong (or at least wrong for that purpose). If you were inclined to, you could do things differently
