New devs do not have a cache of the codebase in their mind, therefore their mental compiler (because that's what you're utilizing any time you code in a dynamic language) is more prone to make mistakes than devs who know what part

I know static vs. dynamic typing was not covered in the article, but all things equal, it should be easier to onboard new devs into a statically typed codebase.

I disagree. Abstract classes, generators, and built-in JSX support are definitely "sexy."

It's not the same sort of intersection as you might understand it from mathematical sets: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5653678/union-types-and-i... See the response about C#.

That assertion seems arbitrary and unprovable.

Would you be willing to share the companies at which you've worked with these front-end developers? As a simple counter-example, Google requires all "front-end" developers to pass through the same algorithms interviews as bac

From the article's summary of the study, it does not preclude the possibility that the tag was switched on in the children after birth. One would expect that experiencing trauma to the degree of the parents in the study would cause the

I might (with sadness) agree with you if this were the CEO of a Fortune 50 company. But that's not the case.

"Falcor automatically traverses references in your graph and makes requests as needed." This seems like it could be as much of a curse as a blessing. I hope 1.0 ships with a good development/debug mode to gauge the efficiency

Many readers would take issue of your use of the word "invented" in this context. Was the Pythagorean theorem also "invented" in your opinion?

Do you have any source for this grand claim?

"Is it better to patent something and tell the whole world how to do it? Or is it better to just keep it secret?" That's quite the false dichotomy.

I genuinely wonder who has a better brand image among the general population, between Comcast and Netflix.

You can't actually run a JS framework faster from within the JVM than you can in V8. And if you're writing all your code in Scala, then you're losing the productivity benefits of having a real UI framework written in JS.

Government-sponsored research would eliminate the perverse incentives of patent-based research, and the fight against disease is absolutely a concern of the public sector.

Twitch has already won over most of the potential audience for computer game streaming. Computer gamers tend to be a loyal bunch, and they know that Twitch is a site by and for gamers. If I had to guess, YouTube Gaming will have trouble mak

So if someone were to say that Spanish culture is X, where X was negative, you wouldn't consider that racist either? Perhaps 'racist' isn't exactly the right word, but that seems like splitting hairs.

The naked racism of this comment is saddening. I'm sure we all know pockets in our societies where cheating runs rampant. Thankfully, people aren't regularly trying to act as though those pockets represent the whole.

That is partially true. A metric should continue to "work" when people know they are being measured on it. A good metric is one which makes the measured person more effective when they explicitly try to optimize it. So for examp
