Last I checked, entry level salaries for a graduate were about £30k. For a non-grad that would drop to around £20k, which is still more than all the debt you have to take on to go to university.

I think people get used to it, especially if it's a part of the standard libs. C++ <iostream> overloads the bitshift operator and nobody seems to mind.

So if we legislate against those people, we also legislate against anyone who tells a joke online.

Oh good, another one of these discussions.

Difficult to evaluate it when I couldn't see a single line of code on that website. It looks to me that it's targeting quite a different problem.

Rust is also worth a mention as one to watch.

While it's not a great tool to teach people the concepts of OOP... I actually think it's a very good tool for teaching OOP. It doesn't have types to confuse the issue, it favours composition over inheritance by desi

In fairness, open sourcing a project is quite a big courtesy to begin with, and providing a website, support, documentation, etc is much more of a commitment than leaving a comment on HN.

It's worth remembering that the company behind Riot are a 3rd party provider delivering components to host websites. These websites already have jquery/angular/whatever in their own payload, and Moot won't be the only re

Oh, a reddit meme on HN. I'd been getting worried. I hadn't seen one of those here yet.

By nested routes, you're referring to the kind of thing described by finchjs? How are they critical to your workflow? Would be interested to learn more.

The reaction of committing murder is all about extremists. I think there are plenty of Moslems who would find the iconography uncomfortable viewing. It just goes against the grain.

It's far more likely to be the other way round. Atheism was only really formed about 300 years ago, and by that time the world had been explored and the printing press had been invented. In contrast, all of the ancient religions, forme

Intolerance on HN? Apparently so.

Oh, I see what you mean now. I was referring to those libraries as an example of a useful application of the pattern. My point was, if you disallow passing functions, you disallow those patterns.

Implying that execution complexity is increased? Is a function not dynaically bound at the last moment anyway, regardless of how it is called? Where is the increased complexity?
407.
by marrs 12y ago
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you're saying that you'll reduce complexity by avoiding jquery, underscore, and half of the built in API. This is the opposite of my experience.

I agree with you, but I don't think it's a bad exercise at all to apply the rules to a different domain and see how they make you feel. If they challenge your assumptions, why? What are your assumptions based on? Creating a framew

I'd say most frameworks don't do this very well. One of the reasons I think React is really promising is that it does it better than most, but ironically it isn't a framework. Personally I think there's no substitute for

When I've been in this situation in the past it's because I've been in the wrong job. When you stop improving (your product, work environment, skill set, whatever), you stop caring. Have you changed jobs much, is this a recur

I suspect the parent is disappointed by the lack of ambition, or maybe thinks that the PleaseWait authors are just trying to get eyeballs on their site. The animations are pretty bog-standard, let's be honest. I'd stretch to calli

Yeah, same here, (not the 30 years part, the React FTW part) and for me the virtual DOM is the least cool thing about it. Separation of props and state is what I lust over. Anyway, where I live React isn't getting noticed; it's An

Not bashing React? Are we reading different presentations?

What's more, if you developed your framework in-house, devs feel more empowered to improve it and tailor it to their needs.

by marrs 12y ago
Except I've never seen a framework help with this at all. I've lost count of the number of code bases I've had to pull a part that used express, symfony, rails, angular, or whatever. Controllers stuffed with business logic, v

They'll probably suffer less this way than how they usually go, which is to have sharp talons dig into the flesh of their backs, carry them a hundred feet into the air, then pin them down so that a beak can tear their skin apart, rip o

Yeah, I think Kazaa and eMule did this as well.

I'm really curious to see how productions of the future are going to be funded, because I think the current business model is on borrowed time. I simply don't watch a lot of TV any more because I can't cope with all the adver

Well, you could pass around the object but then you'd have to come up with a new object-literal syntax because `this` won't exist any more, unless you're planning on keeping it around but keeping it lexically scoped, in which

by marrs 12y ago
I'd say I use `this` outside of lexical context at least as much as I do within, and I rely on this's behaviour a lot when developing a DSL. It enables some rather elegant patterns, actually.
