Blaming the younger generations for Brexit and Trump? That's some talented mental gymnastics.

The younger generations have also contributed to social progress. We've created a lot of great music (but I'm sure it's not "music" to you). And what have we achieved? You're on HN, you should be well aware.

Where do you live? In NYC I feel much more welcome talking to strangers in bars than I do in London.

Looks like build is the function and it returns a string. I think without the typing it would just be build = () => {

No one thinks it would be a simple task, but if you consider it a threat to democracy you can understand why many want a solution. Blatant lies intended to scare people into voting a certain way are a problem. How much of a difference is th

Couldn't agree more. I recently used Type C for the first time and it just feels so cheap in comparison. Nowhere near as bad as microUSB but still, there's just something about it. The only problem I have with their use of Lightni

Looks good! Unfortunately for me I had just started working on something very similar. Mine had only a web interface and optional Facebook Messenger bot to proxy your chat through (I don't need another chat client). But overall the sam

500 combinations of what? Other platforms too have n languages and n frameworks and so on. We'll be fine. I'm quite sure it will catch on with Apple, Google, Mozilla and Microsoft working on it. I'm intrigued by the server si

Are they improving the performance issues? I love Atom but I've had to switch to Sublime 3 because I can't handle waiting a couple of seconds every time I switch between files (or the several second start up time). It's small

Your comment comes across as fairly condescending, but I can't really argue with it. Sure it can be dangerous to believe you know what's best for others and force decisions upon them, but clearly what we have now isn't workin

You want to switch time to base 10 and everything else to base 12 even though you consider it to be arbitrary? We use 12, 60 (and 360deg) because our fingers are divided into 12 sections on the palm side. You can use your thumb to point to

That doesn't make sense. Apple has never been afraid to cannibalize a product line.

Is it just me or is this mobile site horribly slow? How can a tech blog have such a poorly performing site? Not to mention the bar at the top I'm running iOS 10 on an iPhone 6 and couldn't even finish reading the thing.

You don't consider wireless noise-cancelling headphones which don't need to be charged to be an improvement to hooking up a century-old cable?

The headphone industry will look a lot different in ten years. The wireless standard used by headphones (possibly not BT) will have enough bandwidth to no longer be the bottleneck in wireless audio quality. And more importantly they'

That wasn't really the spirit of the offered bet. All this pedantry is taking the fun out of it. Now I actually do believe the OP will "happily" buy a phone without a headphone port. But not if he has a financial incentive
