"If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we'd be so simple that we couldn't." I guess this can be applied to any system. An advanced system and one that can be understood easily don't seem to be

I like downvoted comments. I always pick up a couple of them when reading the comments to get a view of the people who think outside the norm. Sometimes they are genuinely stupid, but sometimes you get very interesting remarks on things whi

Fair enough, I might need to spend more time with it. I certainly like the idea of testing components individually.

I finally got into React after being told by a friend for months that I need to. I'll be honest the whole thing just looks like premature optimisation to me. I still find the structure of an angular app a lot easier to grasp, it might

Still an incredibly stupid thing to do. He increased power in one engine causing it to fly sideways which could easily trigger a pilot confusion/error to crash the plane. Just what kind of an asshole would risk so many lives to make a

Exactly. Same thing happens when you stack two macbook on top of each other. The magnet on one triggers the other one to sleep.

Don't post on HN of all places and claim we don't need programmers... On a serious note, cool product but we've seen many many many of these sorts of platforms before. They never work outside a niche market simply because pro

Terrible cases for sure but none makes being a man any harder than being a woman. Life can be equally shit. I just think women vent things off better than men do.

People seem to underestimate this but I've learned this lesson myself the hard way. Your absolute most important skill is not to make a dick of yourself next to your co-workers. Even if it means doing things wrong for a while, it is es

Sadly this is yet another instance of closed platform provider pulling the plug with no warning or consideration. I don't think people properly evaluate the risks involved when they invest so heavily in such platforms. My personal gold

Says a lot about a mindset, when the best and worst place to grow up is only measured by income.

Exactly... ElasticSearch doesn't market itself as the best fault tolerant DB. If you're using ES as your main data persistence point, you're missing the point of it.
