I think you've missed the broader point. The whole thing is a reminder that many 'progressive' companies like Facebook like to boast about how well they treat their employees - high wages etc - but in reality they outsource m

It does look like they support some kind of left-hand mode in the settings, but it's practically impossible to find this on their website or what it actually means in practice. Very disappointing given about 10% of people are left-hand

I am not knowledgeable enough to endorse/criticise the plan. But watching the various statements yesterday by the government/scientists it's clear that they do plan for lockdown, just not yet. But it's fully expected in

Most useful programs have state. As the program scales you need to break it up into parts (or 'modules') with clear interfaces. Usually these parts own state. The problem with OOP is that it assumes you need lots of these parts.

Yes, though you also have to consider default values as a possible source of error.

Okay, Verizon's consent process is a disaster. After following several options to try and opt out I gave up and left. Which unfortunately means I can't read this article.

But the airlines know that Boeing will never go under because the US government would (justifiably) never let that happen for strategic reasons.

People may not understand how big an achievement this is. Yes you need a lot of good fortune, but there are 7m players of FPL. For most, getting into the top 100k is seen as a good result for the end of the season. Magus is clearly a massiv

Thanks. Couldn't reply earlier but this is definitely what I meant.

This kind of AMP-like approach is something I'm a big fan of for simpler, more news-like articles. There are potentially a lot of developer experience and user experience (especially performance) benefits if done right. For my thoughts

The thing is, I would rather you are more restricted or stop driving for Uber, and full-time drivers get decent terms, then you get to keep your (seemingly) unnecessary side money and full-time people, for whom it is the main job, have subs

Thanks, this is a pretty great write up. It's not a langauge-war, the discussion is knowledgeable and pragmatic, and I like that you recognise that a language suitable for work might be different from one you'd use on a side proje

I am still amazed Uber IPO'd for what it did (even though it was still considerably less than they'd expected).

I'm not sure this is really about Huawei at all, so in a sense it doesn't really matter if they have (up to now) done anything wrong. It's really about the extent we feel comfortable trusting the Chinese government. Now obvio

Clojure is particularly well suited - at least Rich Hickey would claim - to real world applications with unsafe or unstructured inputs. I.e. complex programs that receive or pull data from external and loosely-typed sources. A lot of web pr

In addition to the other replies, it also depends on your computer. I have a new Matebook 13 and 18.04 didn't quite work as well out of the box for me as 18.10, because it lacked some of the newest drivers and the laptop has some prett

I have six years programming in Scala and I unfortunately agree with everything in this article. Our work experience is very similar; competing approaches/styles, poor tooling, and slow feedback cycles. The language itself is nice is m

Ha yes definitely. One of our motivations in this work is to be able to identify and serve only the CSS that is needed for the specific page/components being requested.

Hey thanks. I think probably our experiences are just different here. I've found that convention (one css file next to the JS component in this case) is sensible but can break down over time or with larger dev teams. In these cases, I

(I work on this team at the Guardian but views my own.) You are definitely right that there are still challenges around how you structure and re-use JSX components. However, our primary motivation with CSS-in-JS was to achieve decoupling be

That's reasonable. But you still have to obey the law in the meantime.

I'm not sure why the above is getting downvoted. It's a perfectly reasonable question given what the parent comment said.
