They've gotten horrendously expensive in the fast few years, though. That's my only real issue. My order has gone from $10 to $17 since they opened in my town, so I just don't go anymore.

My current problem is that I write Javascript/TypeScript at work and have come to absolutely loathe every aspect of it because I've been working with much, much better languages at home for hobby projects (Elm, PureScript, stuff l

Not only is it nearly as high as Haskell, the PureScript guide hasn't been updated in years and is wildly out of date. You have to go searching for an unofficial rewrite, and those are incomplete as well.

I haven't gotten one of those in years. These days it's just picking out buses, cars, traffic signals, and sometimes motorcycles. Maybe once in a while it'll ask for storefronts.

I'm not a fan of the "Buy something nice" one. It seems like it might feed a harmful coping mechanism.

Word 'round the campire is that Faraday is shutting down. Is that still true?

Yep. CEO of our company didn't like the progress on one of our frontends, so he took a weekend to write a whole new one himself, claiming it was "almost done." It was, as you may predict, nowhere near done, but still shoved i

This is real easy to say to people who largely don't get sick days, oftentimes don't have PTO, and are far more likely to be unable to absorb a week without pay. If I take off work because I'm sick, I simply lose that money.

I typically hide the Konami code in there anyway. Enter it an "A winner is you." prints to the JS console.

I wouldn't mind if editing was only available for maybe 5 minutes or something. I pretty much only delete/rewrite to fix typos.

It's just easier to trick people and prey on psychological triggers than it is to make totally truthful ads and high quality, reliable products and services.

/r/programming is not an anomaly. My experience is that programming-related discussion boards everywhere are like this, almost from day one. The rampant tribalism and insistence one groupthink is incredibly strong, to the point wh

They certainly have no plans to charge me a fee to use a third-party keyboard. This won't be any different.

My first thought reading the parent comment was indeed that WebComponents would be perfect for this. Thanks for the link.

Elsewhere in this thread, a commenter (actually multiple) mentions that many French banks use 6-digit pins for authentication.[0] Another mentions that in Spain, some telcos do the same thing.[1] [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com

Maybe, that COBOL codebase doesn't contain the web-facing stuff. It's not handling user auth and all of that. It doesn't seem to make much sense for the web-facing side to be so directly connected to the financial backend, an

Does "weird-looking freak" really just mean "has long hair?"

Node has an http2 module as well, but it's still pretty low level. I don't think there's anything wrong with the stdlib module being lower level than the third-party ones.

If you give a Chrome user Chrome but with Gecko for rendering almost nobody would notice, most tech folks probably wouldn't even notice. But swap that around and give a Chrome user Firefox but using Webkit for rendering, everyone singl

If adults "don't need" to drink milk and that includes the plant-based alternatives that this article is about, can that be extended to claiming that adults "don't need" to eat almonds, oats, or soy? Is there s

My parents still watched DVDs over composite cables on their 4K TV until this past Christmas when I got them a Bluray player, but that doesn't inherently say anything positive about the quality of that setup.

Years and years ago before YouTube let everyone upload videos above ten minutes, I uploaded an episode of a cartoon and it was put on hold for being too long. I didn't do anything after that, though. I just left it alone and it stayed

In Ghost in the Shell (not sure if it was in one of the films, or in Stand Alone Complex or Arise, sorry), a similar thing comes up, and the Major is reminded that Public Security Section 9 owns her prosthetic body, not her.
