This is far more damning than any puff piece I have seen in years.

Aw man I freakin love this paper I did my whole undergrad honors project based on this and this paper by Tim Roughgarden https://theory.stanford.edu/~tim/papers/optima.pdf

I think the point of the article is that men feel empowered to especially awful on a platform like twitch. But you're totally right - we need to see this as what it is - constant, and ubiquitous.

I see it as the opposite - medical intervention is a last resort for doctors the way changing the codebase is a last resort for programmers.

The trick is to ban even the correct but (to a human) ambiguous patterns. In this case, I wouldn't let you do assignment on the same line as the conditional.

Since there's so much Spotify hate in here, I'd just like to say, the service is so good it has changed my life. Specifically, my music library has grown in a thousand new directions because I find it so incredibly easy to discove

Men measurably impact the bottom line of insurance companies more. Actuarial math is not 'AI', there's no 'magnification of bias'. The whole point of the calculation is to eliminate bias so that the company makes so

There's almost 4 million employees in the fast food industry in the US, so the problem is a few orders of magnitude bigger. Also, what happens when the pool of jobs for unskilled workers dries up?

Do you think the government can protect the right of people by buying more missiles and tanks? Subsidizing more gentrified neighborhoods and private prisons? I think within a few decades UBI will be the cheaper road to go down. A doctor can

This guy seems to veer out of the way of the natural conclusion near the end: > The term “woman-child” lacks teeth, because damseling and self-infantilization are acceptable for women. He seems to think that the fact that women are infan

PIling on to say this title sensationalizes what was a very reasonable and good-humored exhibition of one person's small project. Hardly an alternative.

Also worth noting that the it's often the most disagreeable people who shield their actions with the label of Christianity. And of course, far too much blood has already been shed over declaring who a 'true' Christian is.

Uhhh what? Not sure I follow, this article seems to equate knowing performance on a many-to-many scale with secret observation of somebody one a one-to-many broadcast system.

It's funny that you're worried about criminality on the side of workers, not the owners: "Eventually, however, it was corruption that led Scrivano to leave the industry, after one of his studio’s investors stole the majority

I agree, this is the part that people seem to be ignoring. Yes, you can make a proof of computational equivalence between jQuery and React, but you cannot deny the massive increase in human usability that an set of components brings. There&

The fact that you're keeping track of your actual DOM and event handling at all? That's what I got sick of. Going from jQuery to React was a huge breath of fresh air.

I was born and raised in deep Trump country, and have agree that most people don't take the time to understand the viewpoint of his supporters. Unfortunately, I also think that the deeper you dig, the more you realize it's an embr

The author of this article should read 'Vanity Fair' by Thackeray. It crystallizes the argument they're trying to make.

I'm pretty sure the real secret is ensuring your customers have no alternatives. Spectrum may or may not have all of that gear and they still have given me outage and throttling issues for years. I don't want somebody to compete w

Vanilla redux isn't really useful for what most people are building. We have a simple app for a few tabbed lists of items, filtering and sorting that list, and taking basic state changes on the items. The first epiphany I had was using

I read this book quite avidly, and the writing is quite good. The insights into changing American life (disposable furniture, gutted city centers) are worth the price of admission. However, I was somewhat shocked at the lack of personal ref

Uh... What? Not true. Living in NYC for the past 4 years, before that I lived in rural Ohio and Texas. There are no dollar general or dollar tree stores here, just kinda expensive mishmash-of-crap stores, Duane Reades and Rite-Aids.

I have yet to find any good reason for this fork, but I wish the forkers all the best. If they can actually make something better, I'm sure we'll switch. Until then I see no reason to not support Node.

I was way into photoshop as a kid having free access to all kinds of software (thanks, mom!) but now I'm incredibly glad I'm a programmer and not in any profession that uses photoshop or similar tools. Thank goodness people didn&#

One of the best article titles I've ever seen on HN! I actually L'd OL. I think the author's thesis could be summed up as 'I like WYSIWYG more than markup', which is purely a matter of preference. I also know there
