It is never too late for education. It is always too early for crippling debt that exceeds your proven earning potential. None of this advice touches on the lost principle of not putting one's future on layaway. Student load debt forgi

That is some impressive technology. I can see this going over very well with my family in Japan because they make such industrious use of their space. I, however, live in an NYC apartment (not Manhattan, granted) and still have plenty of ro

Facebook is a private entity and they can do with their software what they want. If that drives away users then that’s their problem. You can set up a server or a static page and disseminate your opinions more easily now than ever. No one e

No problem. A good exercise I used to do was writing inheritence patterns first with pre-ES6 syntax, then constructors, then classes. They are, of course, interchangeable but it’s not wise to rehearse an anti-pattern. EDIT: I said assign me

You struck your child because he was licking his hands. Sometimes things are so hard and so overwhelming that you become a slave to your overwhelming misery and do things that you would never do with a sound mind. That does not mean that th

That video at the top of the page is absolutely god awful. I acknowledge that this is a low-quality comment but that cannot go unmentioned. I would believe that the first ten seconds are satirical.

That would ruin the timing and deprive the viewer of the subtlety in the animation. The single-frame transformations into animals and the connecting frames while the camera's perspective pans would be almost impossible to distinguish.

The Ark is a socially acceptable way of animating the fact that they are sexual partners and gives a clever explanation to the fact that the clothing throughout the animation suggests that it is raining. The story starts by making it look l

That's a great piece of animation. I don't know if the content-less opening and ending are there to be true to an original film reel or something along those lines, but for those who haven't visited the link it's about s

She compromised the social security numbers and other personal information of people who pay her company under the assumption that they will protect that information and you're telling me that SHE is the victim?

Mavis should have been fired. That was a careless mistake against which someone in her position should be constantly vigilant. If we punished people for hacks that are the direct result of their incompetence then we wouldn’t have these “Gee

The design looks to be half flat and half dimensional. I would pick one or the other. Flat UI forgoes box shadows which has the benefit of avoiding the uncanny valley effect. These shadows are so big that the light source would have to be v

The global Object’s assign method is the “old” way to inherit prototypes. ES6 syntax did not add new language features; they were there all along.

I value entertainment immensely but saying that it solves unhappiness is like saying that prostitution solves loneliness. Unhappiness is a core element of the human experience. It is not solvable because it is not a problem.

You don’t need to use the constructor syntax to have an object inherit prototypes from another.

This a good article but I would add that quoting a YouTube comment in a serious context also shows a critical lack of understanding of what the internet is and how its content should be regarded. The comment in question could be posted by t
