Not the epitome of entitlement at all. Is Apple entitled because it makes such vast profits and wants to make more? Maybe it should reduce it's product prices and all the execs take home $100k/y so they can buy a typical house in

Reading on wikipedia, it sounds like the 1980s this stuff came out, with support in a particular lisp released in 1980. The promise pipelining technique (using futures to overcome latency) was invented by Barbara Liskov and Liuba Shrira in

I don't think it is that bad, once you learn those mistakes (maybe a linter could help to?) and more importantly bed down the mental model I think promises are a fine way to do things up to a point. I don't do intense concurrency

"think how easy Rails was in 2006" There is your answer! But for anyone with a decent amount of programming experience in a mainstream high level language like C# / Java / JS / Python / Ruby etc. it's prob

he does but I am not sold on the benefits. A slack message "can we talk, call me" would be async and non-distracting (just turn off slack alerts when you want to focus). Using an online call rather than on/off (like a walkie

Can I ask is compilation happening inside the browser, or does it talk to a backend. I like the idea that it happens in the browser and it is served from a static page.

I definitely thought this would be climate change related, or perhaps something to do with carbon dating not being accurate since nukes.

looks very sweet! I like the UI more then Scrimba. One suggestion is the ability to skip forward to future lessons using the navigation on the left. I wanted to do that to see what the React stuff was like.

What sounds better for PHP? "PHP is a great programming language because of feature X, principle Y. It's not like old PHP because of 1,2,3..." or "PHP is a great programming language because I made a lot of money"

"npm-deep" I love that phrase. anyone who suffers a dig around the node_modules folder knows the pain! Ugh! I also used Oracle in the early 2000's, I need hypnotherapy to get over that.

I know you are joking but there is probably a good case to have a sensor on every piece of livestock, given how cheap the sensors would be and how it would help to manage things. The govt. could even carbon-tax the methane emissions.

Therefore more roads => more cars => same trip times. I could see that people would make decisions to take jobs where they travel by car, or choose to live further away etc. with more tunnels. That could be a good thing or bad, but ye

But... the city is you! Without the trains that's more cars in your way when you drive your car.

Yeah OK, does anyone have the angle on that? Is there a new technology aspect here?

ELI5... why is digging a tunnel tech news? Does Elon dig them faster or more cheaply or something? Otherwise do I submit this to HN? https://www.sydneymetro.info/tunnelling . I think tunnels are the future though for cities.

This is ridiculously anecdotal, but I asked a yoga teacher how to make it more comfortable to sit with legs straight in front, and I was expecting some kind of static stretch. She said to do leg swings back and forth, which I remember I did

7.30-9.30 would give you 2 a day. Say 2 nights and then on the weekends. 8 hours a week. That isn't much but the trick is to do something quite focused.

I think it will be bad for different reasons. Will Chrome not comply with the spec. Nope because the spec follows what the browsers actually do, and Chrome is the browsers. Will it have bugs that make the web unusable? Probably not. What ma

It could be solved (or helped at least) by a number of capitalism-compatible solutions, such as disrupting fossil fuels with technologies that can produce energy much more cheaply. Once it becomes a no brainer to use solar/wind instead
