I don't use Standard, but I am a (mostly) frontend developer, and I agree with your take on things. It's a shame, because feross is a very productive open source developer, but it does look like this is a ill-conceived attempt at

No, that's incorrect. The license governs the conduct of both parties (here, the creator and the users). Yes, he can release new software under a new license, but any past software he released under a certain license, he has to follo

As someone who maintains open source software, I sympathize with the author and agree that he doesn't owe users personalized help. However, he does have to comply with the legal requirements of the license he uses. Personally, I don&#x

You can't compare starting up a statically-typed, compiled Swift repl to those other dynamic, interpreted languages -- it's doing a lot of things that running a normal, compiled Swift program wouldn't do, and that dynamically

Rust is the first language basically ever that has a serious chance at displacing C and C++. Combined with a type system that eliminates multiple error classes, and some functional aspects, it's a very interesting language.

I don't understand your examples of "Synchronous code that tries to be asynchronous". In fact, the examples you provided are of asynchronous code being...asynchronous. Callbacks are asynchronous (or to be fully correct, I sho

This isn't that complicated: many citizens of Hong Kong enjoy their democratic form of government, and fear full control by an authoritarian Chinese government. The Chinese government, on the other hand, sees Hong Kong as an integral p

You can't install iPhone apps from outside the App Store on an iPhone (unless it's rooted, which most people prefer not to do for reasons of complexity and security). I'd say the Android app store is a nice balance. Also, i

Given what you just wrote in your top-level comment, that's an odd take. You wrote, "it's yet another example of why none of us should rely on the internet as our sole means of doing anything". if the leader of a society

Fair point. I still think Amazon is engaging in anti-competitive practices (by just selling on the same marketplace they maintain). But my argument was poor.

You provided your opinion. That's it. So OK, I'll do the same: I disagree that morality is subjective. Edit: so if I disagree that the world is round, that shows that it's flat?

> So don’t sell on Amazon. Whether or not any individual sells on Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with their anti-competitive practices.

It sounds like you're proposing something akin to cultural relativism. The foundations of American democracy are definitively not in cultural relativism, but in cultural absolutism: "All mean are created equal, etc etc". Now,

Have you tried Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs)? Most implementations allow use to name arbitrary sub-parsers, often using the programming language's native variables. See for example Peg.js, LPEG (lua), etc. However, PEGs don't

While I don't agree with the way he spoke, was C# one of the de facto or explicit in-house languages of the company, and Ruby was not? If so, he may have been referring to the fact that the company already had many libraries in C# that

Strongly agree with this recommendation. I ran through regexone.com once, and even though I already knew regexes, it helped me fill in some stuff I had gotten rusty on. I highly recommend the lessons. If you do them, I also highly recommend

Lisp is not typically a low-level programming language, but rather extremely high-level (high level of abstraction)[0]. The "dialect language of Lisp" quote just means that it's a variation of Lisp, but running in a Python en
