That's a valid concern, but I think ES6/ES2015 will help ease the pain of using Javascript.

This looks really old. It doesn't even mention anything about Python 2.7, let alone 3.x. Shouldn't we date the post? Also, I think we have come a long way since the jQuery/AJAX spaghetti that was apparently a huge problem whe

Lead-acid batteries can't be used effectively for energy storage, especially not vanilla car batteries that are optimized for cranking amps but will only last a few cycles of charging and discharging. Generally, lead-acid batteries wil

Goldman Sachs already has a lot of financial and internal data available in spreadsheet plugins via Slang, and it's generally very useful for financial models (at least when I was there). This just seems like a way to generalize that f

This advice seems to be in stark contrast to the "speed as a habit" thread that everyone got excited about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9923239 Speed as a habit seems like it would ruin the ability to slo

It might be useful to following in the tracks of https://github.com/tomekw/whatever and just add a hook that auto accepts pull requests.

It's possible, but can you cite another example of when a news article caused a recall to be issued a couple days later? It seems unlikely - usually takes months if anything happens at all.

So despite the huge uproar at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9921557 , it turns out the end did justify the means.

Yep - the adoption of git has been a great example of the latter.

I thought Edge was a rewrite that threw out most of the code in old IE. Edge is not IE11.

I think underlying all this is the assumption that they actually called the old number on another line. This was asserted by Dmitry; however there's no evidence that it wasn't just the typical put-you-on-hold repeatedly scenario w

So one case where someone released on parole commits another serious crime basically condemns thousands or tens of thousands more in prison to never be released. How do we get around this inability to balance Type I vs Type II errors? All t

I'm pretty sure it's a timer. Cells cannot merge for X seconds after splitting, but after that any two cells that have passed the threshold can be merged.
