Perhaps there are features from other programming languages that should exist in shell programming? For example, I've always felt that the fact that almost everything in shell programming is a gigantic string is really bad. It would be

I wonder how long it will take before something like this gets implemented as a `Hyperterm` [0] plugin. I think it could be quite useful to combine `npm` packages with shell commands and `map`, `filter`, etc, in your terminal. The only thin

Do others agree with the `getComponent` pattern described there? I do like it but I'm wary of moving away from the `beforeEach` pattern. The `beforeEach` pattern is much more common and is a consistent interface that engineers can easi

The UK isn't a protectionist state, they'll do what they can to ensure global free trade. Firstly, to keep access to the EU's 'single market', and secondly to attempt agile free trade with other countries around the

Alright, I asked ASI to correct the numbers if they are wrong. I did also read the Telegraph's article about Michael Burrage's book on this [0] which said something similar, however I trust their ability to report less than the AS

Well, I didn't. I've spent the last year expecting Trump to become president, and the UK to leave Europe. In my mind, it was only a matter of when. If it wasn't the Conservative party that had called the referendum, eventuall

I think this is a completely irrational level of doom-and-gloom. Just because the United Kingdom has voted to exit the EU, doesn't necessarily mean that it is about to become Nazi Germany. There are certainly currents of nationalism af

Indeed. It should confuse any reasonable person that despite the death-knell 'Leave' has meant to be to trade and immigration, it's supported by many powerful free-trade libertarian think-tanks. For example: the Hoover Instit

My point is that it's completely idiotic to characterise highly-prestigious globalist think-tanks as anti-immigration or lacking intellectual capacity. They hold globalist perspectives which are worth reading and understanding; in fact
