Even if you TRY to make votes equally powerful by adjusting state boundaries to equalize population, you still ignore the fact that the electoral college is like a MASSIVE round-off error, and thus entirely fail to succeed in your goal and

It's pretty similar. I'd avoid Crockford's dogma for a while until it's clear to you naturally why you should follow those rules (and only loosely, he's pretty adamant about things that aren't useful or are counter productive in practice:

I don't think I can endorse this, necessarily. I learned C from "C by Dissection" back when the cover was purple. I then learned C++ from a combination of Bjarne's book and "C++ in 24 hours". Before that I only knew qbasic and vb, so it was

When I see images of awesome looking food, I think "Hey, I want to try that!" Same with pictures of people sky-diving, drinking, racing in fast cars, etc. All of these things can be pretty dangerous, in fact far more dangerous than having s

“All software companies, even Google or Microsoft, have bugs in their software,” said Mr. Taza. “These two students discovered a very clever security flaw, which could be exploited. We acted immediately to fix the problem, and were able to

I agree and I'm the same. I can relate to many of the stories told by the author, however I find real sex immensely more exciting, to the extent that even when viewing porn I will often fantasize about sex I've actually had. I also think

I don't think I can agree that "{{language}} tutorial" as a measure of "growth" is valid. When I am looking to learn a language, I don't Google for tutorials because you end up with mostly worthless information and maybe a single result th

There's no real danger difference. If you implicitly do: var self = this; When you need to use `this`, you just end up proxying the problem behind a variable. If you don't understand what `this` is, it's not going to magically st

I was in a pretty similar situation recently. After more firewood was thrown on the fire, I decided to start looking, and at that point I had already decided not to accept any counter-offer. Not only was I being shortchanged on salary (si

I'm sorry, but this just comes off as a guy ranting about how he defied Graham so that he would have more equity and no one to question his decisions. You know what that says to potential hires and the rest of us? "Huge red flag."

The software equivalent of this would be the proverbial jackpot. A project a few guys could hack together in a few weeks that generates huge cash-flow relative to invested time, which is trivially scaled, and which needs no future growth s

You're interpreting these posts all wrong. There are plenty of things within the field of CS that are sufficiently complex and difficult to get right that your average Joe Coder shouldn't be attempting to write them in production code. Th

I have quite a few questions about this implementation, but here are two bigger ones: 1. Why are constructed Maps here having delete, get, has, set, size, keys, values, and iterate added outside of the prototype? I guess I don't see why yo

So we seem to have a formula: something a lot of people use + dogs = popular thing. We have Facebook pet pages. We have dog/cat memes. So I've come up with the next multi-billion dollar project: Ancestry.com for pets. Gonna be HUGE.

I'm sorry about that. I went back later to edit in a comment to make it clear that I had incorporated your point into my response but the edit had expired.

When I first saw this post, it didn't include the following snippet: Object.create(null); I disagreed adamantly that a hash with pre-defined names is not a hash. The language already provides a means to get a hash without the pre-

I would think that 'G' would also be correct, in a base higher than 16, just like how 11 is just 0xB, 013, and 0b1011, depending on your perspective.

I agree. Same thing in JS. Also, this is precisely what I thought to do when he started asking about 7 and 11. (function fizzbuzz(n, cases) { var i = 0; while (i++ < n) { console.log(cases.reduce(function (pr
