   Shorter than the React code, I'm not seeing a big win other than the need for an explicit render() in didSet, which also allows for more fine-grained control if needed. class ViewController: UIViewController { let indicatorView

   I have avoided posting political/ideological arguments in topics that aren't about politics or ideology in the first place. But it's your site and your rules, so consider this account closed.

   Even assuming your dubious hypothesis, please cite the evidence that second-borns have historically been subjected to systemic discrimination in the workplace.

   Trump apologists downvoting/flagging. They seem to have infested HN to a greater degree than other tech sites for some reason.

   I still find it ironic that Republicans, who are very keen on the notion of individual responsibility in general, seem so shy about taking responsibility for what they voted for. It's not like he hid his big bag of -isms during the cam

   Thanks for the reply. I imagine that being part of the majority demographic in Utah makes daily life more comfortable than it was in San Francisco, no? (Not making excuses for other people's poor behavior anywhere.)

    There's ample evidence of what kind of company Uber is and consumers are under no obligation to give them the benefit of the doubt yet again, even if it does negatively affect selfless attempts to "add wealth to the economy".

    Agreed. At the very least, we should be checking the Facebook account of anyone traveling to a state with a Planned Parenthood clinic in case there's evidence that they're a Fundamentalist Christian.

    Prepare for a lot more "coincidences". "The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our

    Huh, over 30 stories posted in the last 24 hours with "Trump" in the title, only 2 with more than 20 points, and they're both relatively pro-Trump. Interesting.

    Maybe so. But there's also people's natural desire not to believe the worst will happen. I admit to being one of those people in 2007. Based on the last couple of weeks, I don't see good reason to believe that his (and Bannon

    Why isn't the fact that the President's base of support is an angry, hysterical mob bad for America? It's odd how the term "left" is so often used in opposition to "America", as if the left isn't just

    He came in with a business-friendly agenda after eight years of stability had erased the memories of 2008. Nobody wants to be the first to decide he's an unhinged mess, just like nobody will want to be the last to decide.

    So the President of the United States is such a weak-minded fool that he can be taken in by a white supremacist hell-bent on destroying the foundations of this society, but it will be the opposition's fault if he continues to listen to

    The fewer sane people who will work with him, the harder it is to maintain the fiction that the way he's behaving is within any normal frame of reference. It's a cumulative effect. Spare me the talk of "hysteria" when he

    This inevitably has the effect of normalizing his behavior. At some point, you have to decide if his behavior is so far outside the bounds of acceptable that the only option left is to disengage from it.
