I'm pretty sure your comment misunderstands the original comment, and even if it didn't, it is rather aggressive. Why are web-technologies suddenly inferior to native technologies? Maybe I want my playlist to be accessible through

Surely the solution couldn't be lifting up impoverished students instead of pulling those who succeed down? As an Asian, this pisses me off. If you work hard and get high test scores, you should be rewarded.

I think it can actually be very productive if you engage with the article and take notes. Example: I read the following article over the course of 2 days. While I was reading it, I had VSCode open and was taking notes in Markdown. While thi

Are any people in agreement with me that Cloudflare's emphasis on neutrality is actually a bad thing? I see several comments admiring how Cloudflare is willing to serve alt-right/nationalist/racist content in the name of avoi

Python is uniquely ill-suited for dependency management compared to many other languages. For some reason dependencies are installed into the interpreter itself (I know what I just said is very imprecise/inaccurate but I think it gets

Oh, so the idea is that buying back stock is effectively just transferring money to investors? I guess that explains why I was confused by the parent comment. I still do believe that giving money directly to social/governmental program

There's nothing to memorize here, or there shouldn't be, because "filter" is a standard array function in JS that I imagine most JS developers have encountered. Knowing how "filter" works is valuable because no

For me, the crux of the matter is that people use Antifa to claim that both the left and the right engage in equal amounts of violence or that both are equally morally bad/good. I was pointing out that this isn't the case since An

By equating "milkshake throwing" with the violence of the alt-right (using guns to murder tens/hundreds of innocent civilians) you portray both sides as equal when one side has clearly done something that is much more morally

I think there's too much backlash against big tech companies. Yes FAANG companies have occasionally done bad things, but they contribute immense value. Gmail, Google Maps, Android, Amazon, AWS, etc. have provided immense value to billi

What is this statistic supposed to prove? I would expect there to be more deaths from non-Teslas because non-Teslas make up a majority of the market and furthermore not every person with a Tesla uses autopilot and even those who do use auto

I don't see why the "zen of Python" shouldn't be applied to its tools too. Tools are part of the developer experience and few/none of the statements/guidelines in the zen of Python are exclusive to Python the p

It's interesting to see the pro-Apple bias on Hackernews, if some other company tried to avoid integrating with existing standards, thus hurting interoperability I bet HN would throw a fit.

This approach doesn't remove boilerplate, the initial version is 8 lines, the final version is 6 lines. Except the final version has a lot of code hidden in helper methods, making it impossible to understand at first glance without rea

That assumption is false. Things like racism aren't motivated by rational arguments, so they cannot be cured through a rational tool, like free speech. Racism stems from fear, hate, and deeply embedded cultural tools. You can't &q
