Would you elaborate on the drastic failure modes you think are inevitable?

Do you have a business model wherein people will pay you money? I can only see this working for B2B. If you can't answer why it will be different for you, rethink your business.

No, the point of reddit is that communities of people moderate themselves under the rules they make up. Voting is not a substitute for moderation- see memes, offtopic comments, trolls, or the middlebrow dismissal that plagues HN. The late

There are penalties for giving out drugs to everyone who asks (potentially jail); there are no penalties for not giving out drugs apart from feeling like an asshole.

Closures are fine, but avoid seagulls: function() { function() { function() { function() { } } } }

First of all, the NSA is not omniscient. Second, the NSA is tasked with national security- ie, they don't share data with prisons even if they have a juicy scoop.

Is this not subject to side channel attacks (for recovering the key)? Also, whats the point if you are letting a third party read all of your traffic at any rate?

I highly doubt this. Apathy and inertia are far more likely.

Sure, but they have a layer of editors/reviewers to filter out the bullshit.

The answer to the question "where should complexity go?" is always "as low as possible". Complexity at higher levels interacts with more code and begets more complexity. The lack of generics or macros is complexity tha

by kansface 12y ago
The problem is that the code that needs generics is reusable abstractions in libraries. Thats probably 1-3% of code but it is also critically important and there is no convincing workaround.

You have confused the inability (and frankly unwillingness) in the Vim community to add new features as the virtue of simplicity, while in fact, its the tail wagging the dog. Vim's source is an abomination of global variables, copy pa

Both your comment and OPs comment have no place. The article itself is a newly published guide to Rust. OPs comment derailed the entire thread- perhaps 2/3 of the discussion is in response. Ideally, if this comment merited discussio

Twitter has a vastly user experience than Wikipedia. Imagine if hostile Twitter users could trivially untweet/hide your content.

Is this because the accidents are avoided or turn non-fatal?

I would guess jurors won't look favorably upon cameras miraculously turning themselves off during an arrest.

Arguing with a police officer is a surefire way to get arrested. Assert your rights in court, not on the street.

JSX/React is not a controller, it is the view. See the React docs: http://facebook.github.io/react/ .

JSX is transpiled into Javascript (which generates HTML at runtime)- its function in React is basically that of a templating language. JSX also allows inlining Javascript in a limited fashion. I could not imagine a sane implementation usi

Every thread on React has your comment- JSX sucks or it looks like PHP (which sucks). Half of the thread is then devoted to refuting the comment. At the end everyone's opinion has calcified. I would highly encourage you to try it bef

Uber controls its fate, though its success may be stymied by municipalities. Taking the business directly to cities puts the onus on them- a much harder proposition than providing a good service. I know which business I'd rather run.

Which is an argument against using Silverlight, not for removing essentially all JS (breaking) from all websites.

Helium is a finite resource- escaped Helium eventually leaves our planet forever; nuclear fusion will probably never produce sufficient helium for current industrial use.

I wonder if the study controlled for quality of life at work; its plausible that offices without windows are generally more miserable than those with windows (but not because of it).

Music sales have seen negative growth for the last decade. The major labels don't exist because they provide value; they are just dying, slowly, as billion dollar businesses do.
