JavaScript isn't going anywhere, I believe. And I'm not saying this because I think it's the best ever, or because I don't learn from history and how things change. It's the nature of the web. We're still dragg

My overall point is your examples were not as simple as we see them today. As for what I believe the paper commits, is it adjusts the definition of a problem to fit their research and conclusion. That's not something I've done.

Facebook's data worth $1294 per user per year is probably BS. It'd mean Facebook generating 3.5 TRILLION in PROFIT every year.

Sorry about "tarring of large segments of society" but I think we all know what I'm talking about. Also I've unfortunately been in academia and had a close look at how those "groundbreaking" papers happen, not

Apparently happens if you’re very intensely interested and focused on solving an issue. If you’re just frustrated and tired of it, it doesn’t.

The concept of object output isn't slow. PS is mostly slow because it's based on .NET and they didn't bother optimizing it.

Probably not a humorous bias because the audience of a site like this is not average on some criterias.

You didn't know that, because it's most likely BS. BTW people and chimpanzees share 99% of their DNA. We're basically the same, aren't we. /s 80% is not close at all, and 99.7% still can render a vaccine ineffective

If you don't mind the higher lethality and long-term damage of getting hospitalized with COVID-19 and then given ivermectin to try and cure yourself, sure. I'd just get the vaccine and not get sick in the first place.

PowerShell solved this problem by outputting easy to map objects instead of just plain text. Unfortunately they made it a bit more verbose than it could've been, and the industry didn’t recognize the potential, so it remained a niche p

The true liberation will be when your type system is just a set of libraries written in the same language that the type system applies to. Which also means you'd be able to add new semantical type behavior specific to a project, not ju

I meant to say that the media have the same pattern of clickbait articles with Tesla products and their competitors, like they do with Apple products and their competitors.

At this stage Tesla doesn't need or want to deliver luxury vehicles to begin with. It was a stepping stone to mass production. The next step is Model 2 or whatever they call it. Which is a smaller hatchback with lower price. Their othe
