In many cases yes: European attitudes towards the lower classes are often similar to (though not as extreme as) racist attitudes in the US.

I think this is a valid point. A system of justice isn't just a set of rules. To be effective, it also requires a trustworthy process to determine whether the rules were correctly decided and published, whether a given individual'

If the only thing that you knew was that there would be a massive recession starting in 2007, and that 13 years later there would be no meaningful return to the pre-2007 growth trend, this would not be hard to predict.

There is no "Europe", though. France and Germany speak different languages and have different legal systems. Spain is different again. And Poland. And Greece. And Ireland. And Italy. Put it this way: if products depend on viral gr

We are all commenting on an internet forum run by a company whose entire purpose is to funnel money captured from the (predicted and actual) sale of valuable assets into the economy in the form of more new companies.

The fun thing about language is that we can un-deprecate things just by deciding to do so!

Code-splitting is supported in ClojureScript. Compiled CLJS is just JS, so service workers and CDNs should work in the same way. However, CLJS really does feel like application development (which is why I like it, tbh) and the community doe

Same. As someone building a web app, the existence of good non-Blink/Webkit browsers is matter of importance to me, and I'd happily help to fund alternatives.

Businesses almost certainly won't be holding cash in quantities any larger than necessary to meet their short-term obligations. The entire purpose of QE and similar schemes is to reduce the value of the fiat currency relative to other

TLDR: I've written a moderately complex app using Tailwind and only had to write 33 lines of CSS. I've been using Tailwind to build a moderately complex app, and for me the killer feature of Tailwind is that _most of the time I do

In context, the "language" GP was referring to was the (presumably English) language in crypto currency white papers which is "needlessly convoluted and verbose". This was being contrasted with the concise language of th

Very happy re-frame user here - I was pleased to see the 1.0 release recently and I like the sound of the new developments. Personally I do appreciate the amount of conceptual framing (pun intended!) contained in the re-frame docs. It'

This feels like having it both ways. "Innovation is morally neutral" and "harmful uses are the inevitable consequences of innovation" can't both be true. I would prefer to say that the act of creating a possibility

We can distinguish between pure and applied innovation, though. Coming up with a new algorithm which can be applied to facial recognition is a pure innovation, deploying that algorithm to monitor political dissidents is applied innovation.

"Scotsman" is absolute. One either is, or is not, a Scotsman, and either always was and forever will be, or never was and never will be. (I know this isn't true with regard to modern Scottish citizenship, but in the context o

Re-frame's atoms are actually Reagent's 'ratoms' ('reactive atoms'). They're built on Clojure atoms, but can reactively prompt a re-render of any component that depends on them when the content of the rato

This seems sufficiently unlikely that I wonder if something has been lost in translation. My guess would be that Lidl does expect to do something innovative in e-commerce (around, say, augmented reality) and is planning to offer that as a s

In my opinion, yes. Angular's model is based on "two-way data binding", which was also the paradigm used by Backbone and other popular JS frameworks of a ~decade ago. This means that any user interaction with your app directl

It would seem sensible to me that a word processor should treat a double-space as a hint that the preceding period ended a sentence, and a single-space as a (weaker) hint that it did not.

I find that the verbosity is annoying at first, but it makes it incredibly easy to come back to some old HTML and work out exactly what it's doing, and why. Even with Bootstrap, you need to maintain a mental model of what the classes a

There are some nice aspects: - The classes cover many common use-cases and, in some cases, present a simpler "API" than hand-rolled CSS would - You can eyeball a HTML fragment and get a good idea of how the pieces fit together, co
