Don't start worrying about the "purity" and "this was never intended". You don't specify a processor instruction set in the real world without expecting people to write higher level languages for it, so why expect people to write at such a

not everybody lives in metropolitan America, and even then, not everyone who needs to do sysadmin has a reliable, wired connection 24/7. Character delay is an issue if you're on mobile broadband, which from the name, is the primary raison d

I do use coffeescript on appropriate projects.

What is 'smart' though? I think the mantra is basically saying "hire people who fill in the gaps". A good leader is someone who facilitates identifying and filling in the gaps, which has little to do with "smarter".

It's unnecessary because apps continue to work with little to no modification without semis, it's paranoid because all of the reasons people come up with for why semicolons are important (lint tools? minifiers? bugs?), are all non-problems

The point is to reduce noise. JavaScript already has a lot of cruft going on with all its anonymous functions, parens and curlies… anything to reduce the signal to noise ratio is a step in the right direction.

Unlikely the default lint options are going to suit all teams anyway. JSLint/JSHint can, and should be configured for your team's style.

If you're commenting on the dangers on no semis I would put money on the fact you haven't given it a real try. Perhaps you tried it, had an issue once, and immediately reverted. Its like critiquing a book you haven't read.

Dropped semicolons about 6 months ago and haven't had a problem even once. Once you get into the habit, it requires zero extra effort. You just know when to put them in, same way you just know when to use parens vs curlies. Coding with semi

This is exactly why we need blend modes (at least multiply+screen) in CSS.

Create an organization for your project, make pages for that organization. Or just create another repo.

I can tell I'm going to get tired of "Merlot" very quickly. Looks nice 'till 1000 sites use the same heavy theme.

Basically, it should just wrap the HTML generated from markdown (if readme is markdown) in some theme.

Isn't this article doing the exact fear mongering it's accusing technology of doing? And ironically, via technology.

Also it should be pointed out that we aren't made of fruit. We preserve meat in salts, does that mean salt is toxic to us as well?

Casual dress shows confidence: "I don't need to bow to social norms, I'm confident I can sell myself and my ideas, even without a suit."

The type of person who balks at casual dress is not the type of person who I'd want to work for or with, and vice versa. Problem solves itself.

For some reason during the day and early evening, my mind wanders and I find it incredibly difficult to discipline myself into focusing on the task at hand… unless I'm in an environment like a library. I'm taking these two data points and

Note you guys are in fact agreeing, just the parent was written confusingly: "I've noticed is I like to not be a in an environment where its really brightly lit" Side note: do write code not like this, please.

Yep, all medical science researchers worldwide are in on a plot to curb population growth for profit. Definitely.

I wish more science would get behind crowd funding, then we could potentially have this kind of stuff sooner/at all. I wince at all of the amazing science that doesn't kick off, not because of a lack of feasibility or interest but simply be

Try gitx, this has served me well for the past 6 months. Used to use solely command line for years, but I can't go past the visibility and ease of use that gitx provides. I use the history view and add/commit workflow in gitx. Anything more

Perhaps not you, or many HN readers, but for many the answers to all of those are "yes". For example, my non-tech girlfriend has had an ipad for 6 months now and the only time I've ever seen her use the computer was for word processing and
