I've felt the same way when doing non-basic stuff with Angular (over a couple of projects). While a directive is usually more general than equivalent vanilla js/procedural code, this doesn't explain the 10x (In my experience

The problem, and as far as I can tell the reason that they're considering a better tuple return value is that these don't work with async. The existing tuple type doesn't work well because its members are generically named; a

Definitely has an air of trick-questionness about it (which I'm not a big fan of) - I think that it could be better rephrased as either: "When would you use string as opposed to String?" or "Why do you think that the cor

It sounds a bit like a dollar auction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_auction to me (ish). What he's probably trying to say though is that miners are likely operating at near break-even, so they continue to mi

Why the hell would anyone ever use anything for anything? Because that shit gets the job done. Pick the right tool for the job, sometimes PHP is the right tool.

Given the nature and content of the specific forum, and that SO is built on a largely microsoft tech stack, moving it to SO makes sense. Still an interesting move from Microsoft. Projects hosted on github, open source, versions of the .NET

The medium is the message - it's the context that changes the meaning. Sitting everyone down for pictures is almost gloating; but when you remove the obligations, people's desires to be nice, helpful and curious kick in so they ta

The TSA and other US airport security process has gotten to the point where it's unnecessarily onerous. I avoid even stopovers in the US when flying (unless the US is my final destination) because it's such a wildcard/inconv
