Isn't the main purpose patenting? Even if Google does create a moonshot, they might not be the ones to directly profiteer from it. It might be preferrable to take rent from smaller startups that later on come up with the same idea.

ESLint is nice but it's a pain to setup. A lot of people are beginning to use standard linters built on top of it like `semistandard` [0] . [0] https://github.com/Flet/semistandard

Contract to perm is a good idea, but in the UK at least, the contract rates are significantly higher than permanent salaries so unless you offer them a salary that is way above the market rates for permanent staff and perhaps a role and res

It's not an entry-level salary certainly, however you probably only need 4-5 years of experience to achieve it. Skill-level, signalling ability and confidence are all you need. Entry-level for a good junior engineer is what you say it

You are the one that has built a strawman. In your universe, engineers do not talk and accidentally decide to use two libraries that do the same thing within a project. I work with JavaScript and I rarely see this happening.

The library is ramdajs.com and it can be grabbed from npm. I do not agree that everything should be handled with standard libraries. It's better for these things to be modular and versioned, instead of them being pulled from a big bloa

by lhnz 11y ago
You don't need to do that. You just use a library. import { isArrayLike, values } from 'ramda'; const a = []; const aIsArray = isArrayLike(a); const d = { a: [1,2,3,], b:[4,5] }; const dValues = va

Personally, I'd like a nice GUI to pick and squash commits with new commit messages against them on creating a pull request. I don't enjoy using the CLI for this, and it would be nice to thread thoughts on the solution into the co

No, not at all like that. Like holding a straight face and carefully putting forwards an extreme position which you do not hold while making use of the correct memes and language so that it appears congruent to outsiders. A humorous effect

Does this mean that Democratic countries that are part of the Euro are rendered unable to listen to the wishes of their citizens and must instead act as despots on behalf of Germany? If so, I don't see this ending well.

Python ground to a halt around the time Python 3 was released and last time I looked it was still barely progressing. Meanwhile JavaScript has ES6, ES7, TypeScript, npm, Ramda.js. It's long past 'catching up'. It's a hea

Can you define this leaky sand or is just bullshit? There is definitely a lot of churn, but slowly but surely you are seeing certain functional programming approaches winning out. And the language is progressing so much faster than similar

I would bet that in 20 years time many other social networks will not be standing yet Twitter will. Maybe it makes less money and grows slowly, but I check Twitter every day and can't see myself stopping. On the other hand, Facebook is

It could also be genetics. For instance, we know that people that are taller and more attractive are more likely to be promoted. Likewise intelligence is also partially inherited. It could be that their parents genes give them traits which

So in other countries you can only use Uber to pay and not to hail? Are you sure this isn't just a weird exception. I didn't know that "gypsy cabs" was a legitimate term of description to use to describe unlicensed cabs.
775.
by lhnz 12y ago
Uber's innovation was in removing a hails requirement for a mutual line-of-sight between the passenger and a cab. This increases the number of cabs accessible to a user. It also allows cabs to move towards users, which is analogous to

No, by disruption he probably means becoming a multi-billion dollar business, not to an anti-regulatory stance. Could Uber have succeeded if they had tried to follow all of the regulations like Hailo did? And by innovation, he probably does

I have a Github and I actually have a few public projects but the vast amount of my work is private. Funny thing is that even if you create side-projects it's unlikely that you'll actually want to make them public. For example, sa
