This article made me curious to why a Base-1 or Unary Numeral base system has not been implemented in parseInt() as noted by the OP, since the second argument radix must be between 2 and 36: parseInt('1', 1) // s

Libra, a new global currency... with an old name! "Libra" is the latin name of what is now known as the "pound" and used in many Latin-rooted languages (Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian come to mind) to refer to

Just as a side note to the article, the Madrid city and state government are going through heavy negotiations right now, along the Barcelona city and Spanish government coalitions, so it's too early to say the LEZ "is set" to

That interpretation is absolutely wrong. The current mayor lost 2 crucial seats that undermined her re-election, 1 was due to the internal feuds in her own leftist coalition (about 40k votes) and at least another seat from the center-left w

I'm a big user of Firefox since I switched from Chrome 1 year ago for these reasons, but I wonder why don't they base their underlying engine on Chromium then build all their safety, privacy and other niceness on top of that? I kn

It all depends on the microwave oven. The majority of ovens open with a mechanical lever (in many cases, can be also be opened by hand by grabbing the edge of the door) which will trigger a sensor that shuts down the emitter while the door

Many comments here get fluency and the lack of an accent (pronunciation) mixed up. Although pronounciation and general entonation is part of being fluent in a language, the message is still the most important factor in fluency and the only

I think independent consumer reviews are a very valuable service to the (shopping) community and, yup, to humanity. It seems contradictory to collate "shopping" and "community", but in general people do spend a lot of ti

+1 for well-defined concurrency. To me the central concurrency scheme is one of the defining features of a modern language. Go and goroutines, ES/Node and event-driven paradigms, Java and threads... That does not mean a language can&#x

Since pijul's key advertised strength is the use of patches for resolving merges, couldn't this just be a new merge strategy option for `git merge -s <strategy>`? In this case, the algorithm would just produce temporary patc

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the fact that tsc errors have codes, such as "TS2339". This is a fundamental part of error handling and DX that, unfortunately, is left out 10 out of 10 in tooling, applications and libr

I've always wondered how Chrome and Firefox password storage fare in safety. Are they both equality trustworthy? Are the encryption technologies comparable?

I absolutely agree, subscriptions are the way to go for making your software business sustainable and better scalable R&D investments to maintain growth. Gitlab is an example of this in the dev tooling space. I've bought Mailplane

Mostly FUD of a supposed opensource monetization debacle on the aftermath of Amazon DocumentDB. Not every opensource monetization scheme is the same. Mongo and Gitlab are not the same. One is mission-critical production software, the other

I agree, I think Docker is an example on how to almost completely fail to take advantage of being first to market. Redhat, AWS, Google and others were quicker to monetize on docker (the runtime) than Docker the company.

To my computer scientist mind this can easily be a parallel to checksum and hashing. Quantum error correction is analogous to using checksum to validate file integrity. Memory chips use similar schemes (ie parity bits) to correct errors. Th
