Why don't you try browsing the web without CSS enabled? Or just go straight to blocking all HTML? JavaScript is a core part of website development, regardless if it is not the only way to do it. It is unfair to judge websites on wheth

I think Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a great example that being "faithful" is not entirely important. It was first a radio show, then a book, then a play, then a movie. Each iteration changes the story a bit, but kee

This actually looks pretty cool. Some initial thoughts: - I have never used Allo or really even know what it is. I am downloading it now though. - I hope it does more than just auto-create a Bitmoji character. I wonder how its going to dis

> Less readable code Maybe it is because we are used to our own paradigms, but the following is no less readable to me because of inference. And these are the 95% of cases. var index = 0; var name = "pwaivers"; var n

I am a C# developer. My thoughts: - I love that they are adding REPL. I really wish C# had this. I use IPython all the time for Python. It is very helpful to mock something up quickly or try out different features. - Adding private metho
