Just a heads up your first issue should now be resolved.

Sorry, I think I misinterpreted your original post (apologies). I thought you were saying "is this only good for one liners?", not "can this be done in one line". Now that I further understand what you are saying, I can

I am actually working on this exact issue right now :) Hopefully will be fixed very soon. Yeah the console.log thing is for when you have two objects, you want them on two lines. However, we could get smarter and collapse lines (that were t

There's different tradeoffs of course, and we've obviously been inspired by iPython and Mathematica and other interactive programming environments. Tonic is in large part asking whether we can take the lessons of interactive progr

The goal of this project is to expose the power of node in the easiest way possible. If a package exists to do the sort of analysis you're looking for, then I think you will find it fastest with Tonic -- since you can search for these

The local option is something we're definitely trying to wrap our heads around. Right now many of the features we offer are thanks to being hosted. For example, the reason you have instant access to all 175,814 node packages (and every

Apologies for not having full ES6 support yet, we actually do support a number of ES6 features (like destructuring). The rest are mainly due to my laziness (lack of time). The code undergoes a transformation where I need to know about all t

We also are having a few issues with versions that aren't semvered correctly (server.valid returns false). Its super helpful if you tell us which modules are returning that so we can quickly fix it and get a fast turnaround for you.

Thanks so much There's certainly a ton of stuff we'd love to open source, but we've been focused on getting it out the door. This product is also interesting in that the ops is as challenging as the code itself, so there may

The developments that Facebook is working on with React Native are just so much more exciting than another riff on C++. For most "utility" apps, I just don't think performance is such an issue that the point of research shoul

The problem with ES6 is that everyone has 2 features they like in it. The only thing that matters in my opinion is generators and (in ES7), async/await. This is a shift we've been seeing in many languages and I think actually ta

The whole point is that the rich kid is offering the reward solely if no other people choose the 6. NOT if its 10%. By choosing the 6, you necessarily lose the money. Thus, you would only do that if the 6 points are more important to you

Its funny because we see the tragedy of the commons "fail" (succeed?) all the time in national elections: people are so afraid to "selfishly" choose the candidate they actually want to win (and thus cause the opponent to

by tolmasky 11y ago
It doesn't matter because the requirement is NO ONE choose it. There is nothing to gain by selecting 6. The second you are writing 6 down on your paper, you better hope the 4 extra points are worth more to you than $x because you have

by tolmasky 11y ago
I'm surprised no rich student ever just offered ahead of the tally that they'd pay everyone $x if no one choose 6, where x is more valuable than 4 points. He now has the ability to safely choose 6, and everyone else is paid for

A lot of people are commenting on how the article said there would be no curve, but I interpreted your statement to mean a deeper comparison to other students: the intrinsic value of doing better or worse than them, that translates to actua

As I mentioned in a lower comment, I would be fine being payed less than someone who is clearly doing more than me (where more is a function of the job of course). When I was an engineer at a large company, there are many people there tha

For the record, I don't think it should necessarily be posted everywhere what salaries are (even though I do in fact believe that would be net positive), however I think the culture around salary discussion needs to change. People ne

I don't know about recently, but this has always been an obvious way to keep salaries low. If you restrict the information people have, then of course you can screw some of them over. Its in corporation's best interest to create

I think its unfair to suggest that the reason iPhones have horrible code quality is because they don't go through some approval process. They don't have good code quality because, sadly, they don't need it. AAPL's market

There's of course a third danger: all the people that won't use their skills to try to develop new technologies due to the costs of FDA approval and the lack of knowledge about those processes. What you end up with is handing the
