Not much, but there have been a few changes: - We added on ElasticSearch (for the search bar). - We have almost phased out Socket.IO (we were only using the WebSocket transport, so it wasn't doing much for us). - We're working on

Because knowingly filing a false DMCA complaint opens you to lawsuits (and putting in writing that its a reactive complaint makes it pretty easy to prove). It may also constitute perjury, which is criminal. IANAL and all that.

I suspect we originally started using WebSockets because of the bandwagon, but it still feels like what we want. We use them to subscribe to various message feeds; client->server messages are used to add/remove subscriptions and se

Its flawed as a "proof", but it might contextually justify the answer. That exact reasoning accounts for pretty much all of my limited success at middle school/high school math competitions. You can usually skip long, diffi

Nor that the endcap(s) would not be included in either the 6 inches or the resulting volume. It seems to me that there must be a much better phrasing that brings these points home, although it might require a diagram.

I did not intend to be pedantic at all. The difference between little correlation and none is small on a number line but very large in meaning. If there was no correlation whatsoever, that would imply that pretty much every software compa

I have to disagree with "orthogonal". That means that there is no relation whatsoever between dev skills and interviewing skills. This just can't be true. To set the bar really low - someone who has never programmed before w

The article didn't make this very clear, but the book presents the idea of having a goal, but making the system your day-to-day focus. Otherwise, yeah, you'll just go in circles. I didn't realize the article glossed over th

Your car metaphor is just an example of a shitty system. There's no direction. A reasonable system would be "drive generally south". Of course, your system needs tuning as you get closer - but that's going to be true

There is a range of possibilities of what might cause a wavefunction collapse, and the constructed strawman is nowhere near that. It would be like if we claimed the speed of light was 3.2e8 +/- 5e7 m/s and someone decided our who

My understanding is that the pilot wave theory is a non-local hidden variable theory, which doesn't contradict Bell's theorem at all. Of course, this presents ftl information transfer, presumed to be impossible, which is part of

Does the optimization performed on `unwitting` require the compiler to determine that `ring_bell` will return (as opposed to calling `exit`) or is there something in the spec that allows it to assume that functions return?

That's a short timeline and a perverse incentive. One of the clever parts of SO bounties is that they're taken from you whether you award them or not, so the incentive is to be a nice person and do so. Here the incentive is to nev

I'm not saying your math is wrong, but I'm confused as to how the breakeven can be a 7% cut when the capital gains rate is 15%. Can you explain why my intuition is wrong here?
