In most scenarios, new ways of writing the same code is a waste of time. I actively discourage use of things like type inference in newer Java versions as it goes against the purity of the original vision of the language. It's a detrim

If a van reversed over a child but no one is around to hear it, did it really happen? On the other hand, I put up with delivery van noises constantly in my town, especially during church hours.

Hard agree. As a community we need to stand up for our freedoms and stop using Node for any kind of application, since it's always inappropriate. I'll take you one step further and say that every instance of JavaScript usage is al

While I agree with you, how would you even prove it? Police are likely to just say "he/she never asked for a lawyer", it has been clear over the decades that they lie for their own interest.

Have any examples? It may not be perfect, but that's the price for being the most free state in the world.

This shows an alarming level of narcissism. I (principal engineer) would definitely not want to work with you.

Can anyone help me understand why this comment is being downvoted? As a community I thought we were well against over-use of JavaScript, and we should be calling it out as necessary.

All of the pivotal points in my career came from delivering quality software, on time and under budget. That kind of work cannot happen with the constant distraction of in-office work.

Can you find numbers to refute it? It's more likely that the parent comment is true than the opposite.

If it's prohibitively expensive for everyone, how is the black community targeted unfairly?

I'd be careful with that - it's widely known that Reddit admins use "fake" gold to artificially bring content that they want to the frontpage.

I highly doubt that is true - the South had no such inclinations towards the black population. Could we get a source?

There's valid points on both sides, but the freedom to express our liberties should always triumph political points and reactionary policies.

It may be worth evaluating why we need to explore this space through computing in the first place? Pen and paper have never failed us before, nor has actually traveling to the space in question.

This just reads like the slippery-slope fallacy. At no point will gay marriage and contraception be on the chopping block. I just talked to some conservative gay couples who align with this draft ruling, and they have no fears whatsoever.
