As an employer, I’ll take a hard luck scrappy fighter from some obscure midwest school over these cream puff shoo-ins any day...

> The cost of an automobile is an even smaller fraction of an average person's disposable income than it was during Henry Ford's day. I seriously doubt that... at $50,000+ for a new pickup, and $35,000+ for a new car? And used

Since when is JSON not human readable/maintainable??

>”YAML is easier to read and write.” You may be surprised to find that there’s significant disagreement on that point.

by jtdev 7y ago
I often hear the “comments aren’t supported” argument against JSON, but as a daily consumer, creator, and maintainer of JSON, I honestly can’t recall ever _really_ needing comments in JSON. It tends to be somewhat self documenting in my exp

It’s also a lot less obvious. What’s so difficult about wrapping a string in double quotes?

I’d be interested in seeing the rate of gastrointestinal disorder in the U.S. in relation to this increase in pesticide use. I can’t imagine that ingesting these pesticides is good for ones microbiome...

Something about the way both lodash and underscore functions are written/interfaced has always seemed incredibly obtuse and difficult to reason about for me. FP zealotry and ideals seem to have been top if mind in designing these libra

WTF?! There’s literally no entity I want less involved in healthcare decisions than the private insurance industry. The conflict of interest is shocking... how we arrived at this place is bewildering.

As I said above, these are “CS graduates from prestigious schools” - including ivy league - that I’m referring to and working alongside.

I’m a programmer who studied information technology (with a number of programming courses, but zero true CS coursework) first at community college and then at a budget brand state college. I’m now a senior developer/engineer and freque

A related observation: I have between 4-8 *nix, MacOS, iOS, machines running on my home network at any given time. I’m using piHole (with base config) to block ad traffic. My blocked percentage hovers around ~10%... until I boot up my one W

I don’t know where to start... I hope you’re never in a position to design something that people have to use.
618.
by jtdev 7y ago
It’s unfortunate that so many design decisions are made with little regard for the true utility of what’s being designed, of which the touch bar has essentially zero.

Why? So the sleazy insurance companies can deny or only pay a small percentage of your claim?? No thanks, the insurance industry has reduced itself to a rent seeking, regulatory capture machine with nearly zero value proposition for custome

4 months!? The sentencing of white collar crimes in the U.S. juxtaposed to drug offenses and crimes of desperation should make us all question the legitimacy of our legal system.

Or... maybe those other package repos are actually better managed? And maybe, just maybe, JavaScript might have actual, material language and ecosystem issues.

The thing that most commenters here in tacit support of China fail to take into account is that China and the US are global superpowers (unlike the litany of baddies that have been mentioned here)... The US taking a hard line on China can h

A hard line stance on China’s human rights abuses, currency and trade manipulation, and intellectual property theft will be a top requirement for my support of 2020 US presidential candidates.

All language keywords are “magic” to some degree. The control flow that try/catch creates has never been surprising or invisible in my experience.

by jtdev 7y ago
The arguments here against try/catch are superficial and in no way compelling enough for me to adopt this pattern for error handling. Seems to be a solution looking for a problem... stop trying to be so clever - focus on writing clean,
