Bad example? I thought that the bicycle was _the_ most efficient mode of human transportation (provided you don't have an all-meat diet).

The Meiosis pattern cristalizes the essential complexity of centralized state management (flux/redux), with no boiler plate, and little to no extra library code... How does that prove his point?

I'm a Belgian national, living in France (under the French health care regime). If I need medical assistance while I'm in in Spain or Germany, the care will be reimbursed per the local rules, by the French health care system. Quot

Yup... in other words, it is a gigantic Ponzi scheme. The economy won't grow forever.

Agreed, it doesn't make any sense to apply those rules retroactively.

You can defeat inlining by using closures: function thunk(x){ return function() { x() } } const thunkFoo = thunk(foo) const thunkBar = thunk(bar) for(var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) { thunkFoo() thunkBar() }

There's a huge mismatch between the interest of the investors (sell as much drugs as possible, for the highest possible price) and those of the consumers (be healthy without depending on external input). The pharma industry should be w

No idea. I opted in through the beta options and disabled it from there as well (at the bottom of the preference screen). I still have the beta option enabled though.

I do it sometimes too, if there are many comments. The new UI makes it more complex to make that choice though, because the position of the actual link isn't fixed, it is placed inline after the title. Currently, you can browse the hom

The redesign is user hostile. - Infinite scroll without numbers to give you an idea of how far you've dug in. - The titles now point to the comments rather than the articles. - They took out the subreddit bar at the top of the page. Th

I tried the redesign for a couple of hours and bailed out. I don't care about the looks, but there are two changes that are egregious for me regarding UX: 1) They took out the subreddit ribbon at the top where you can quickly switch be

My understanding is that it is like Angular $scope but without the prototypal inheritance footguns. Instead, you have islands in the vdom tree that share a single, common state object.

Responsibility is a juridic notion. Those decisions are not necessarily rational in the sense that economic theory defines economic actors that always act for their best interest. Another great resource on the topic is https://en

I think it's a false dichotomy. We use money and investment as a distributed resource allocation system. It's kind of worked so far, but it is fundamentally flawed and on a catastrophic trajectory. We've created a self-amplif

That's the syntactic differences, but there are also semantic ones. Most notably, the choice operator can either be ordered like in PEGs (if the first branch matches, the other isn't evaluated) or pick the branch that produces the

The regexp syntax was devised for write-only programming at the terminal (at a time when a terminal was a physical object, not a window in your GUI). The regular formalism is pretty neat though. There are alternative syntaxes (e.g. multilin

One should not overemphasize the environment either, especially for the early development that's discussed in the article (embriogenesis). Cognition, immutinity and the microbiome become relevant much later.

That's correct. A neighbor comment mentions the shape of the uterus, but AFAIK this only matters in later stages of development (extrauterine pregnancies happen, and are quite deadly unless aborted since most tissues are not meant to b

Closures will break, yes. It looks like it is intended to react to mutations to the properties of `this`... I hadn't thought of minification, yes it pretty bad :-/... It looks like the author is smart but has little JS experience
