What! They use a machine learning technique without understanding how it works, just type the numbers in and trust the answer and get rewarded ... sounds like it is preparing them for the real world!

What about a government mandated price ceiling? Anyone can bid to be the official supplier or calculators, as long as they sell to the government wholesale at a maximum of $20 (or whatever is a good price).

I'm fine with yarn. It seems rarely "required" and is very npm compatible.

+1. I don't know about cancer, but having kids just makes you more productive for a given amount of time. Not necessarily at a coding level, but at the meta/self-management level where you decide what really needs to be done. It&#

Seeing a new package manager makes me feel uneasy! Although NPM is not perfect, being able to NPM i all the things is nice, now that bower is defacto dead and you just use webpack instead. But if this takes off there will be choice again. C

Slowing down the cycle is good for developers who like to keep their TS version up to date as a matter of routine. It means fewer updates to do per year.

The duck can be used for both tricking reviewers as suggest, but also for making sure the thing you asked to be reviewed actually got reviewed (if they don't find the duck, did they really review it?).

Yes, I hate it when they manipulate the masses like that. They're so time-ist! Show me that old stuff!

I'm certainly not an expert - I did a great DB course about 15 years ago and then used the skills every now and then since. I might not be up on the latest. And I am more of a SQL Server person. BUT... the main thing I learn is view ac

With the query given, the optimiser can immediately figure out to get the latest record from the index and scan back through the index. If the index has included columns, it could scan the data straight off the index. Without the index you

Whether it is the lack of an ORM or lack of a "algorithm" that pleases you, this comment has made my day :-).

Not nearly as snappy as notepad++/sublime, which are in turn not as snappy as Vim.

Getting used to not having what we had before is going to be the theme of this century, with environmental change. I have LEDs at home, no idea what spec, but honestly they are more than good enough. Prefer them to candles, or darkness.

I think Electron is popular because you can hire web devs to make a desktop product. With JS you can write code that runs on your server (NodeJS) desktop (Electron), browser and mobile app (Cordova). It's not a great experience but it

Well how do you define exploiting? For example well-off person buys a house, improves the value, sells it tax free, makes a couple years salary in profit tax free, repeats it again and again. Property ladder on steroids. The intent of no CG

The problem with online forums! In real life you can check if the person wants advice: do a "meta" offer of advice and back off if they don't want it. But on a public forum you need to put it out there. If HN had a spoiler fe

It is probably better to offer "if you need some help with X I have some experience with it". If they come back to you, you are then free to give advice. Otherwise shut up!

I am a big fan of JAMstack for side projects because you just upload them to Netlify or similar and leave them there for years without worrying about maintaining them too much. I have a pet side project stack that consists of: * Netlify for

What is the benefit of pattern matching in a language where any value can be of any type at runtime? You can just pattern match by saying if (obj.type === 'foo') {}; if (obj.type === 'bar') {}; etc in JS, as long as you
