Perhaps. The end result of simplifying a task is always the same: "oh but I want to check the value of this field on the page", "can I check the local time to do this", "how do I respond to mouse movements", et

It makes easy things slightly easier, and slightly harder things impossible. Stupid idea.

I find it hard to add meaningful value to almost all discussions, so I can easily shut up and listen.

Haskell might be a nice challenge. I had several years of experience, but learning Haskell felt exactly like the first time to me.

I gave KMail a try and so far I've been pleased. There are lots of aspects Thunderbird is ahead, though.

It's a great and touching movie, and people thought they would watch it again. There are no hidden motives.

It's not a deal-breaker, but <key>value</key> would indeed be nicer.

Lovely article, thanks for the repost.

Sounds way too familiar.

Nice attitude, that's for sure. However I feel like this is targeted at the open source community. At work, it sucks to be better, because I'll get the harder bugs, deeper work, more work, tough refactorings, architecture planning

I'm just starting out with Elm.js so I couldn't fully understand the article. However, it seemed to argue that keeping tons of event details in memory will exhaust memory, which is obvious. I need to remember to throw away data I

I've seen some AngularJS vs React benchmarks a while back. I believe it was http://jsperf.com/angular-vs-react/5 I consistently got the result of Angular utterly and completely destroying React. Initially I blamed

Elm looks extremely promising to me. However, I tried the Elm's implementation of TodoMVC here: http://evancz.github.io/TodoFRP/ and got an unusable list of strings with basically none of the features seen in othe

I'm not entirely sure Einstein meant it the way it reads on the surface. He always came across as a people-focused thinker to me. Consider his other popular wisdom: "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." Is ther

Most of these "libraries" are way less than 1 Kb in size, so why is it a factor so important it must be emphasized this much? Also the colors make my eyes bleed, so I had to close after a few seconds. Nice dataset, bad presentatio

Well, if it's important, I don't need convincing. Anyways, at work we printed badges similar to this one: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/449910996832751616/PXOr... and give one to a person who solv

Depends on the country, to be fair. I could earn 10 times more if I could just bite the bullet and relocate to west.

I'm only halfway through but this is driving me crazy. I'm actually feeling extremely furious. This is why I hate to pick up the phone to talk to companies and instead want automated systems where I can fill out forms and get my j

It is not only to protect the few pages on which you enter sensitive data. All traffic should be protected from man in the middle attacks. Also if all traffic was protected, attackers wouldn't know which one is worth hacking; now it&#x

Hm. The rendered patobook.pdf documentation wouldn't display in the browser; after downloading and opening it in Acrobat Reader, it said some embedded font couldn't be loaded completely, I guess all monospace formatted text was lo

Why wouldn't it consider the archived state of robots.txt?

It may have been an innocent question, but it implied too much and it implied myths.

They went the extra mile to create a fake search result page beneath the signup popup. Will never visit again.

Why the ad hominem? I can make the implementation simpler if the underlying specification is simpler. If a language is full of edge cases, it was not designed carefully. If there exists a significantly faster implementation in a significant

Simplicity never meant easy. Doing something complex on a simple platform may as well use simple constructs and benefit from no edge cases. For example, Haskell provides only a handful of constructs but allows the developer to build sophist

I completely don't understand downvotes lately. Is it the joke? Or the use of a relation symbol instead of in-depth analysis of the pros and cons? This is a legitim question that opens up a great topic about protocol support.

If you simplify the specification, a proper implementation gets faster with no downside. Why can't we build software on simpler platforms with better implementations?

Many Redditors seem to lack patience. Calling it the worst AMA because there are not many answers after 20 minutes is really impolite. Sometimes I need more time just to write a two sentence email reply. Give Julian the time he needs.
