I would be surprised if middle managers at Uber have access to the plan at this point.

14 weeks of pay + 1 week / year seems like a silver lining in an otherwise bad circumstance.

I mean, I get how Youtube works. I understand there is a distinction to be made, if I cared to make it, between Google's ads and creators' ads. My point is that Youtube premium is not ad-free and explaining how Youtube works doesn

I doubt there's a definition of "ad" that would be feasible target on a platform like Youtube. A trailer, for example, is an ad for a movie, but I think Youtube would be harmed if all of the upcoming movie trailers were remov

I don't dispute any of that. I'm saying that, as a YouTube premium subscriber, I'm not clear exactly what I'm paying for. I mean, I guess fewer ads is better than more ads but I think a paid service should be able to pro

I pay for YouTube premium but I'm still subjected to ads in the majority of videos I watch: the kind that are embedded by the creator directly in the video, eg, a one minute sponsored by Squarespace segment. I don't know how Googl

As far as I can tell, the latest proposal draft forbids type parameterized methods. One must admit the type parameter to the receiver or define a type parameterized function. I am making no claims about your broader point, only clarifying t

I think you're correct and I misread that part of the spec. That does seem to be an important limitation.

it looks like contracts are composable the same way interfaces are so I don't know how much of a limitation this will be in practice.

These are interesting ideas. It seems like a hurdle would be getting candidates to agree to the conditions. What incentive do I have to pick a company that requires a 3 month probationary period when I can just get very good at dynamic prog

What's broken about extension methods? I have zero experience Scala and about a week's worth of experience with Kotlin, but so far I'm finding extension methods to be pretty straightforward and useful. What am I missing?

We did and still do use Ember and Angular for various internal projects. The Netflix UI has never been Ember-based.

I have the same plan. Tethering is an additional $15/month, for a total of $45. Still a far cry from $90. I use it in Portland and the service is great. (Total after taxes is $48.50)

I don't necessarily disagree, but ( unfortunately? ) there is a well-known result that aesthetics affect perceived usability [1]. Clearly, making your site look better does nothing for the underlying usability, but the perception of usabili

I don't know if it's possible but, in general, it's not a good idea to mix server-side and client-side templating. The Angular guys discuss this in one of the videos on the Angular channel (I found it for you here: http://www.youtube.com/w

Non-profit organizations are still companies. They are required to retain their revenues rather than distribute them as profits. From Wikipedia: "Designation as a nonprofit and an intent to make money are not related in the United States."

Guava is definitely cool and I recommend it whenever I can. It's worth noting, however, that, as a Java library, it cannot provide the compile-time guarantees mentioned in the post. That is, your Option type could still be null and so you'r

For those commenting on the poor quality of Angular's documentation (a complaint I share), check out John Lindquist's videos at http://egghead.io/ . They're not comprehensive, but John spends a great deal of time explaining the nuances of

There is no single best language. Instead, what you get from any sufficiently good programming language is a series of tradeoffs. Haskell, for example, provides the benefits of pure functions (lazy evaluation, composable memory transactions

The author is "now doing Product Design Strategy at Mozilla ". What you're saying is true, and likely the author has realized it as well, but "fairness" is probably less of a priority to him than fixing the product he's responsible for.

Although another responder floated Template Haskell as Haskell's alternative to macros, Haskell loses out in that comparison. TH is both harder to work with than Lisp macros and sacrifices type safety[1], so it is avoided where possible. TH
