Yeah, no thanks. There's a reason we abandoned them in the first place. I've never heard of anyone who's itching to go back to Swing.

If you can do server side great: do it. The difficulty is accurately predicting how much JavaScript you'll end up writing. If your client-side JavaScript is comparable in complexity to your SSR you'll eventually end up with the wo

Even on HN all anyone could talk about was how Trump's Trade War was hurting the economy. I thought the trade war was poorly executed but at the same time at least he was doing _something_.

What's the point? NYC could have issued more supply to reduce the price. The fact that they chose not to until the demand for them dropped has no bearing on the supply/demand relationship.

Is it a Facebook problem or is it a people problem? To me Facebook doesn't really seem that much different than it was when you needed a .edu email address to sign up. Social media hasn't changed, it's just used by a wider gr

Doesn't surprise me. I did an on-site a while back and several of the interviewers seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else rather than in the interview room. It's a good thing the product has scaled well because it seems l

It depends when in the historical record you look. The Vikings didn't just raid, they settled. Dublin, York, and Kyiv were all Viking cities. Early Scandinavian Vikings were almost assuredly blonde, as their influence grew so did their

Not until we stop buying everything China manufactures. We need tariffs and sanctions on any country with China's human rights record.

As someone who fervently supports freedom of speech my stance is all bets are off when you have a known bad actor in the room. The PRC will use this data to sensor and oppress, full stop.

Most likely because the founding fathers didn't expect the justices to be split on party lines. They were intended to be impartial judges ruling on a limited set of federal laws.

That's really an Angular problem; React and Vue have had very few breaking changes over the years.

I grew up in a small rust belt city. 40 years ago there were reasons to live there: factories with union jobs and an entire local economy built upon them (financial services, a hospital, bustling main street, etc). All that's gone now.

I had a similar experience with Amazon many years ago but my takeaway was "don't work at Amazon" not "don't do technical interviews". I've had great technical interviews (Google, Square) and terrible ones

Articles like this always underestimate how many bullshit artists there are out there. The technical interview is not perfect but it is still far more meritocratic than many fields.

I don't know. This feels pretty similar to criticizing Call of Duty for not exploring peaceful resolution of conflict enough. Civilization is just a skin on a resource management game; popular history is the theme. Criticizing it for n

What I've seen is the complaints are largely coming from couples that want to raise kids while both parents work full time jobs. Asking for fewer hours so you can continue that lifestyle is asking your employer and fellow employees to

At the same time it's kind of hard for me to be sympathetic. Their bowls aren't empty: they kept their cushy, white-collar, benefit-rich jobs while tens of millions became suddenly unemployed.

Sure, but you still have to know to do that and to do it correctly by checking whether the relevant values have changed in componentDidUpdate.

I usually explicitly tell devs to not worry about React internals. Let React decide when to re-render or how to batch state updates. React's API is small, developer time is better spent understanding the API than wondering how React wo

I'm not sure if I would describe it as boilerplate because it includes very real cognitive overhead. The best example is the lifecycle methods: if you access a prop in componentDidMount you need to remember to handle what happens if th
