Uhh, yeah, that's actually exactly what it proves. If they have "plans and contingencies" for it then -- by that very fact -- it's been considered! And if you want to get pedantic, they most definitely don't have th

"Nutters" will find "proof" regardless of what they've been given. What this _does_ prove is what the US is willing to even _consider_ doing to justify various things it wants to accomplish. So at some point you mus

That's an outrageously flawed thought process. Just because it's been that way for a very long time, doesn't mean it's a good thing and that it shouldn't be fixed. By that logic, a child who has been abused their en

In pretty much every case minification is going to reduce the payload, which is going to reduce the amount of data a client has to download. Whether you're minifying 1KB down to 100 bytes, or 50 MB down to 3 MB -- you're still ben

I think the video was actually pretty clear in that they haven't really figured a lot of stuff out yet, and the funding is to do just that. It was very clear that the funding is for R&D, not for a final product.

What in the world does this have to do with the article in question? There isn't a single mention of Javascript in this entire article. Not even in passing. Jeez it's like a contest around here sometimes: who can bash Javascript t

Obviously anecdotal, but I've had similar experiences. Granted I haven't really worked with any _other_ bootcamp grads, but we have a handful of junior developers who've attended Flatiron and they're all really great. Th

I'm going to go against what appears to be popular opinion and suggest that this reeks of a "back in my day..." complaint. There's always been poorly-written software, poorly-created websites, bad UIs, bad UX, etc. And I

I bought a Shield not too long ago and I love it. But the $200 price point didn't make it a simple purchase -- I was reluctant to shell out that cash. I've bought a Chromecast, FireTV, etc, and they all end up being quite a bit of

Can someone explain to me Judge Gilstrap's motive for these rulings and funneling cases to his district? Does he take kickbacks from the patent holders? Does it force business into his area? Or maybe he is just an asshole?

At this point the surprising headline should be when NFL players are found to NOT have C.T.E. I really don't understand how the NFL is getting away with this so easily. I guess they have good PR? People just like football so much that

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Just because something can be abused for nefarious purposes doesn't mean we should ban it or abandon it. People use cars to kill people -- perhaps we should ban those? People use binocular

That line of reasoning could be applied to pretty much every single comment in this thread. Literally. Pick any comment and you could simply respond with: "Well it's not released yet so it's not pertinent". The very fact

I wish someone would explain why the licensing issue is not a pertinent discussion here And why those comments have been removed. In any other case that would be a perfectly reasonable point to consider.

I don't really see how mindfulness would need anything specific for a particular field / personality type. What is special about being a "hacker" that requires a special approach to mindfulness? If you're trying to

Absolutely agree. I used to like to check /r/all for a more rounded view -- but I don't get that anymore. And apparently they're planning to move toward more location-specific view -- which will only make the problem wor

What is unnerving about it exactly? It seems to me that's exactly the type of thing you'd want from a company who focuses on privacy. It gives the appearance that they actually, truly care about privacy and aren't just in it

I've certainly "fallen victim" to this. I label it as that because -- for me at least -- the determination fades very quickly. Maybe I just have to find enough of these books to read consistently so I can keep my determinism

The problem is: who gets to define extremism? It may seem pretty clear cut to you in this particular instance, but it's a slippery slope. In the US, Republicans may want to label Democrats as extremists, and vice versa. We've alre

I believe Reddit's code is open source -- is that still correct? I'd guess this "rewrite" won't be? In any event, I find it hard to believe this won't be Digg all over again.
