Absolutely! However, we must be careful not to define it in a too predictable way lest we violate the Principle of Most Surprise.

As someone who's used OData for this sort of strong typed, ad-hoc interaction with the server, I'm really happy to see Facebook push this idea. Compared to OData, I really like how GraphGL's approach of making a query look l

You're missing the point. It is in many ways better than Visual Studio because it's lightweight editor with a lot of the good stuff like a debugger, intellisense, refactoring, code navigation, etc. This caters to people who want

No. I want to retract my accusation. I just think it's a bad opinion post clouded by the poster's desire for a world where online education will replace offline institutions without clarifying how or providing current examples.

Sorry about that. Click-bait PR stunt was too strong. (I'd edit my post if I could). I really do think it's an honest opinion, but it's a vague opinion of somebody who's hopeful of the success of their company. Withou

Why are we giving credit to this click-bait PR stunt for Platzi? Let me quickly sum this up. We have a guy who works for a tiny online training company that provides a whopping 7 classes talking about how online vocational training is goin

He also collaborated with Conal Elliott to bring us functional reactive programming as we know it today. (Though, I'm sure Conal would be more than helpful to point out how most implementations still have it wrong.)

I remember reading in one of Dan Ariely's book that spending more on placebos makes them more effective. (He typically tested people by giving them word scrambles or similar tasks). Remember kids, if you want a really good placebo exp

Thank you guys for your informative endorsements! I wasn't sure if I was going to spend $80 on something that looks like its marketed to imbeciles, but now that you and the other two reputable HN news users endorsed it, I'm going

I'm always surprised when programmers confuse unidirectional implication with bidirectional implication. I'm only making a comment that alternatives to C++ are really good at attracting people who never developed the discipline r

I didn't. I was describing what makes it attractive to newer developers with limited C++ experience. I'm sure it's also attractive to some experienced C++ developers who have grown tired of C++'s shit. I personally fin

I think you make an excellent point that this is a poor demonstration if one is trying to convince a decent C++ programmer to try Rust. Many of these issues are simply not a problem for moderately disciplined C++ programmers. If anything,

I get it. The sequence of events seems very analogous to a Rube Goldberg machine, and one would conclude if the sequence of events didn't go as planned the parasite would have been doomed. My theory is the parasite community for that
