I think most of what you’re saying is not controversial, but I think you’re missing a lot of context. Those officers, and the protestors, exist in a country that still treats black people as second-class citizens in a variety of ways. Hell,

I'm not entirely certain that your anecdata about ex-Google project managers (who only lasted a year there) has much bearing on this article.

He chose to appear on at least one show that routinely promotes white-nationalist talking points – I don't think his politics is really much of a question.

I would be very surprised if engagement wasn't down among Americans under 50 – it may well be counteracted by growth in other markets and in other apps (especially Instagram), but there's _much_ less activity on Facebook.com from

Yup - I remember seeing “type in the AOL keyword ...” in magazines, and not being able to do that because I didn’t have AOL.

Yup. There’s a great memo from 1995 describing the web as the next big platform: http://pstella.com/reading/THEWEB.pdf Looking at the massive growth in frontend technologies within the last decade, it’s easy to see why

Very cool work, but it's a little jarring to see photos of segregation, war and famine being used to show off the algorithm ( https://filebox.ece.vt.edu/~jbhuang/project/3DPhoto/3DPhoto_... )

Yes, lots of people don't find the official line about the Kennedy assassination or the 9/11 attacks or the MMR vaccine convincing but hey, I don't pay attention to them either. The idea that you know more about David Kelly&#

I’m sorry, but your facts are wrong. The inquiry was around the events leading up to David Kelly’s death, not the other way around . And re: whether he was murdered - pretty much everyone who knew David Kelly, including his wife, called it

The parent comment does not represent the views of most British people FYI. The Guardian has come under fire recently for having a pretty anti-trans editorial board. At the same time, it's still one of the more left-leaning broadsheets

I think this article constructs a strawman argument – pretty much all developers are solving some sort of problem. The big question is who you're solving problems for – when I was a single person doing freelance web work (like this a

Yeah, my explanation wasn't good. Yours is much better – thanks! If anyone's curious what the old way looks like, have a look at WordPress's codebase – lots of imports scattered around everywhere with no one single class-load
778.
by muglug 7y ago
Using classes everywhere was made much easier with the auto-importing. In fact the auto-importing means that regular functions (which have no auto-importing mechanism) are now used less than they probably should be.
779.
by muglug 7y ago
Oftentimes not, because you'd end up importing everything as a precautionary measure, and there was a big temptation to mix together many classes and functions in the same file.

This also can change over time. For example, 15 years ago PHP shepherded you to include every file you were using explicitly, making it hard to reason about a given project if you weren’t the creator. A big effort ensued to change that — cl
