Well, if the bug is so hard to reproduce it would not take the website down.

It's hard for me to imagine why would you want to .map() on a list of 3rd party tracking modules but let's go with your example. That sort of thing should not be handled by a low level utility library, because at best it will only

Sure, we can always make up an examples. Perhaps if you are using null to represent something explicitly in your data. But silently failing on undefined is just going to lead to an other bug somewhere else entirely and half a day of debuggi

> if you don't mind throwing an exception when given invalid input such as null or undefined That's exactly what I would expect. If only everyone always thrown an exception on any undefined, life would be so much better.

Here is a device I would pay for: A USB dongle that somehow pairs to my Apple Keyboard and Touchpad and presents itself as a standard USB keyboard and mouse to the OS. I could plug said device to my cinema display's USB hub. This way b

A lot of us here works with information for a living. Of course, we prefer the leaner, more information dense medium. Facebook is not a platform to communicate interesting ideas succinctly. I apologize for not coming up a better way of sayi

I can't find it now, but there is a video of a dozen pedestrians lifting a double decker in London. It's all started by a single person, but others quickly joined. I wonder where is "helping others" on the Maslow piramid

Much of this is also true for productivity/business (aka entrepreneur porn). There are whole networks of business/startup podcasts where hosts interview knowledgable entrepreneurs to share tips & tricks. More often than not th

It absolutely makes sense for large single page applications where you are doing multiple roundtrips to load the application anyway and you will keep the tab open (e.g gmail / trello / etc).

As an aside, I wonder if browser vendors could agree to just use something like the LLVM intermediate representation instead of javascript as a common denominator. Everyone agrees that LLVM is awesome and everyone compiles their personal fa

Apologies, I wasn't trying to imply a connection between the Mac interface and Ubiquity, just wanted to put Aza's love for UX in context by mentioning his father's work. I also didn't know about Archy.

Microsoft Excel 200x on Windows. Everything else (Google Spsheet, Numbers, etc.) is slower with less features, more bugs, and no keyboard bindings.

Ubiquity was ppioneered by Aza Raskin (son of Jess Rasking, designer the original Mac interface). I always had the feeling that uqiquity never was a Mozilla project per say, it was more his personal project that he happened to do inside Moz

The key thing I missed is the fact that I am not limited to running a single container per instance. I never actually tried to run anything on either container engine and from their high level marketing blabla this was not immediately obvio

I was thinking about the same tool not long ago. It could be a way to include simple secrets in your configuration/deploy scripts without having to add an extra dependency on some arbitrary "vault" tool. OpenSSL is available

I would be interested to know what are the other top GitHub repositories. Afaik the Nix package manager uses a similar model (using a GitHub repo as a database), however they periodically release snapshots and the default configuration uses

This wouldn't be the first time artists taking credit to do one thing while actually doing something else. After all the truth is probably way too boring for it to be considered art.

That graph with china being red is worrisome. If you extrapolate the trends, in an other 15 years we will have 2 internets, one for China and one for the rest of the world, and you will just have to pay for any routing between the two.

This might be a double edge sword from the green card seekers point of view. On one hand, people already in the process would be able to negotiate and/or seek new employers. On the other hand it would be harder to convince employers ab
