I agree though your White Stripes is very debatable; you can compare scores of albums on this website from real people: http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/radiohead VS http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/

Because that's possible. Or how about you try to find me a band in the last 20 years that released three indisputable classics: - Kid A - OK Computer - Hail to the Thief

I'm not disagreeing, but the analogy I would counter with is that a person can control how much they drink in order to feel drunk, but that person can never control the drunken feeling. Similarly, a person may meet lots of potential pa

I agree with what another guy said -- you should do the ethical thing and stay out of it. You're his buddy and have already rallied enough about how he's a Good Guy and was just confused. We get it.

But that's not going to stop Facebook from publicizing that they will. You're glossing over the details and attributing an aire of "old news" to the bug. Well, yes / no. If he didn't find such an ancient bug bu

Yea I did and I realize he got paid out a little, but it was short of the $1 million. I realize a million is a bit unrealistic, but if you're going to make a public statement, at least back it up or prove to the guy why his findings do

The thing that gets to me is the lack of gratitude on Facebook's end. Instead, they turn him into the villain for breaking imaginary rules. What would have been the harm in slapping him on the wrist and giving him some sort of reward f

There's still international competition. Monopolies typically bring costs as low as possible for their consumers to block out competitors. This is a fairly positive net-effect. Theoretically, if a company was to get really bad PR then

Not a crazy question, but I'm guessing it's so users can feel comfortable learning Swift wherever they are. Yes, it's true that you should be on Xcode for serious development but I'm guessing this is aimed at the user wh

What's up with the HN community? Do you really not know what he means? Absurd how many users love being pedantic here to try and +1 someone else.

Stupidity because people who act in malice are dicks. You can choose to be nice, but it's inevitable you'll be stupid at one point or another.

This is a really good way of looking at the two companies though I would argue "copying" is a bit strong. I think the author just found a common approach among the two namely that Tesla & Apple both are attempting to operate a

No, he clearly makes the point that it's the intersection between a luxury & high volume business model. This is an absurd takeaway from a pretty well thought-out post.

Good way to take a few words completely out of context. I said "web devs who use ruby for 90% of projects" as in "they obviously don't care much about performance in the first place" If you had anything you wanted t

I agree with you and that's a nice rebuttal. I use XCode daily since I code in Swift for an iOS project. Great tool. However, I really wouldn't trade so much away just to stay in the same IDE and I certainly wouldn't construc

Calling "reflection" an ugly pattern is like calling onions a bad recipe. It's up to you how you intend to use it, but please, let's not be ridiculous and call it an "ugly pattern of other ecosystems." Reflecti

Ya, I was just gonna post this. Scala has more powerful generics and an eco-system of, oh I don't know, every java library ever created. It's also got the Play framework and Akka. When it comes to rationally planned web developmen

You're right about traditional engineers whose work has been going on for quite some time now. We more-or-less figured out the "correct" way to build a bridge or an on-ramp or most anything physical and tangible. However, you

I would probably be prone to agree with you in 2011. Things are very different in 2015 and it wouldn't hurt you to try. My devs all use IntelliJ with it and have never complained. I use vim personally :)

Haha, testing automation framework. Test engineers took our framework and wrote tests with it. Yes Perl professionally is not much fun but I fell in love with Larry Wall after reading the Perl book. Though Perl isn't the best language,

Generics in C# and generics in Scala have the same basic features (generic classes/interfaces/methods). When I say "powerful", the first thing that comes to mind is its ongoing reflection evolution. TypeTags give us acce

Scala is my favorite language at the moment. I've used (professionally) Java, C#, Perl, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, and Swift. I played with Go and started writing a simple library ( https://github.com/joslinm/vali
