They're getting better at describing which features are shimmed, but the easiest way to check is by running a single plugin on a bit of code and seeing for yourself. For instance, I decided just now to check if `transform-object-rest-s

I think they were using the word "insane" as an intensifier. I agree with you, though- really good dark chocolate is the way to go. I work near Theo Chocolate in Seattle and the smell is just... unbelievably wonderful, especially

I was actually kinda surprised by that- at least since I've started using it, I've found the documentation to be quite helpful.

I'd argue that single-page apps are a completely new emerging paradigm- the "web-page-as-application" rather than "web-page-as-interface-to-application" (or "webpage-as-hypertext-document", before that.) T

It sounds like the city described in the article (and others mentioned) is subsidizing Uber fares for people in the city. So, if Uber displaces public transport agencies, I suspect it'll end up being the city which gets stuck with the

IMO, the problem is looking at Javascript as a single unified thing. One thing I came away with from this survey is that there are two major competing "stacks" at the moment- the Typescript/Angular stack and the Webpack/

I think this might be hinting towards the truth. An additional observation might be the pursuit of authenticity - so many cities and tourist destinations across the world seem to have become hyperreal versions of themselves- in my own home

On the other hand, they also have a pretty clear floor on their sale value, because if the price drops too low, the farmer could just eat the meat/eggs themselves.

Look at the tree. In the pictures, it gets larger from top to bottom, marking the passage of time.

Totally! To tell the truth, I actually really appreciated that you started your comment off with a complimentary tone, even if you had your frustrations about the tech. Small bits of positivity go a long way. :)

To reiterate the top comment up above, the idea of this tutorial is to explicate everything a front-end dev might need to know. Furthermore, the tutorial is deliberately throwing in wrenches here and there (problems with loaders and such)

What were they even trying to accomplish? I can't even figure out a way to look at these ads that could explain how they would possibly result in any positive result for AirBnB.

Oh, come on. It's clear enough from context what the parent means: "that weeds out some people right away". The latter phrase could be rephrased as "people who have grown up in an environment which taught them how to

In a way, it's a tragedy of the commons thing. Part of what makes a neighborhood nice is... well, the people. People that have lived there for a long time, contributing to the local economy and community. In a city, where you can&#x

So basically, by telling us this, you're completely contravening the request they made that security vulnerabilities be disclosed privately? Kind of a jerk move.

Great post, sorry to see you got bit by blatant plagiarism. :( Maybe submit this as a normal post, not a Show HN? I think it might fit better.
