There is prior art for this. I've seen forums that permit turning on notices for all posts by specific users, which in itself looks to satisfy every claim, since they also include a "what's new" feed which is basically just a dumping of pos

A little clearer, consider this example: function sumArray(arr){ return arr.reduce(function(accumulator, value){ return accumulator + value; }, 0); } The inner function here is what we typically refe

This question comes up so often both in IRC support channels and on SO that I don't understand why this wasn't closed as a duplicate. The accepted answer also overcomplicates what could be a very simple answer. In a quick Google, I found th

I'd much rather see us spend 600 billion a year on energy, medicine, and other scientific research than on waging pointless wars to get more oil. Maybe then we wouldn't have to raise everyone's taxes to get something done, and could provide

Why is this using a map when the result is just being thrown away? Imagine how left out forEach feels :(. Also: the afterglow is caused by the main loop filling the entire canvas with a black rect with very low opacity. The result is that a

The complaint about "images for text" is only valid if the developers behind the site didn't actually think about the problem. You can have this cake and eat it too. Provide the same content in text as you do in images, and Google will be h

Yes, I really think it is. The presence of amazing startups finally punching through the incredible awkwardness and extreme hassle that is consuming content legally is certainly the driving force behind increased sales. I've never understoo

To blame a company's success or failure on 1 person is a ludicrous notion. All I've seen from the man indicates that he's a CEO I'd definitely like to work with and then have a beer after work with. To take the failure of a company on your

Groupon fires an excellent CEO while Yahoo's new CEO is utterly impervious (for whatever reason) and is getting away with waging a holy war against engineers? What is going on? Can I expect the laws of physics suddenly to invert tomorrow?

That doesn't make any sense. If a person is unproductive or abusing a policy, you fire them, publicly. You don't ban the policy. Now everyone who wasn't abusing the policy but was only still working at Yahoo because of it will leave. This i

I think what you're saying is a little misleading. The complaints weren't that we didn't want something like what Steam is now, it's that we didn't want something like what Steam was then. It was a small Valve-only HL/mod manager with a ser

I should definitely make a port of this for the web. I love things like this.

I did check their release dates. I don't consider multi-month releases of minor versions "rapid", and major versions were shipped yearly. That rate of development with the resources Microsoft had to get the best developers available is real

I disagree entirely. This is an inflammatory piece that is factually full of nonsensical claims that don't and haven't held up. It makes HUGE assumptions that have direct contradictions in practice. I don't see how anyone could take it seri

IE was always that way, actually. Please check their release dates. They were very slow by standards we expect today. After 6, they did suddenly disappear for years, but again, this is a Microsoft problem. It was also closed source, so nobo

It's becoming less usable (see: JS classes, prototypes were separated in some but not in others) and the information on it isn't keeping up with standards at all. It might be fine for people who are working on browser builds as of about 24

It wasn't because of the monopoly. It was because IE had a HORRENDOUSLY SLOW development cycle with minimal resources committed. It was impossible to get all of those issues fixed in a timely manner. If they can be fixed within a few months

But there's still room for competition with the same codebase. WebKit browsers differ significantly, and still compete with one another. Though this post claims to be talking about WebKit, I see something like this: > There’s a bug — ba

Sounds like the professor was crappy. I'd have said "very well then, have a nice day." Then, at the end of the class, I'd pass around a piece of paper and tell everyone left to write their name on it. We'll call it the "I'm not a douchebag

I'd agree that would be a legitimate concern of the time, but I think that still agrees with my argument, given how easy it is to educate yourself on issues today.

The legislators are corrupt, and being able to override the popular vote gives them more power. The system that puts legislators into place is a local majority vote, which is just as flawed as a national majority vote. It leads to a 2-party

That wouldn't indicate that corruption could be removed or would ever remove itself. When you give corruption more power (and that's what overriding popular vote is), it is almost always abused, which means the only outcome I see of such a

Not really, it actually assumes that all votes are equal. As soon as two votes from any two different people in the country are inequal, no voting system can be fair. So following the discussion, he saw we were supposing that all votes be m

No, the point of the electoral college was to elect a set of representatives that would make the journey to DC to cast their votes to elect the president. You have to realize when the US was formed that traveling from California to DC wasn'
