Yes, the thought leaders in the eth community are indeed influential just like Linus Torvalds is to the Kernel project. But that doesn't mean you can't fork Linux should you disagree with him. What you are saying is not a technica

Pretty sure there was enough developers whom hated JavaScript. What happened is that made more if it. A reality that we would still be supporting IE6 today because so many businesses still use it seems realistic to me. Maybe we would have d

Personally, for readability purpose, this sounds a like a good idea. It is indeed (at least for me) harder to read a condition that has negation: if(!some-predicate) Maybe it's because you have to do the negation mentally. But more ide
