Well, now. Firstly: context switching is an inevitable inconvenience, but in JSX you're context-switching line by line between two radically different syntaxes. Secondly: switching into what ? It's not HTML (Angular templates,

I don't really buy this, simply because actual investors do not think this way. On public markets at least, there is some expectation that a stock price will have some relationship to expected future earnings. When the price is out of

I guess the biggest difference is that, in European soccer (especially in lovely England), the clubs are vastly more powerful than the leagues and governing bodies of the sport. In the NFL, NBA etc, the opposite seems to be the case - the t

I thought it was somehow tied into the hipster-foodie thing, like you'd get charged $15 for a 50 cent banana if it was delivered to you by some precariously employed scooter driver swaddled up like the baby Jesus. Perhaps it's my

It's attributed to Pascal in Robert McKee's screenwriting manual (without a reference); had no idea about the Goethe thing. Did you find a more reliable citation for it, out of curiosity?

How selfish of us. I suppose we'll all go back to managing our dependencies by manually downloading them, 'modularising' everything as global variables, etc, etc. And you're still missing the point. All these tools do di

Yes, I know everyone's affecting to be jaded about JS tooling these days, but good luck downloading a package with webpack (build runner) or yeoman (application scaffolder). Your comment is a bit like sarcastically asking "what

Fair point. I mostly just mash ctrl-c and ctrl-d until the thing quits, works for pretty much anything except Vim.

And it works in like every repl/ interactive shell program ever. Why bother to memorize all these other ones?

I'm not, by nature, spoiler adverse. But the issue is that there just genuinely is only so long you can hold out from learning about a twist or a cliffhanger if you're interested in it. A shock TV moment is not good for each indiv

Briefly, you can look at it through the prism of equality. In javascript, 1 === 1, and "foo" === "foo". However, [] !== [] and {} !== {}. This is because in Javascript, like in Java, there is a distinction between value

The central problem I observe, orthogonal to the one outlined in this post, is this: there has been, for many years, a symbiotic relationship between publishers and advertisers. The publishers are the host organism; they draw life-giving ca

I don't think this is strictly true: if your parser module also implemented the iterator/iterable protocols[0], then you could compose them that way. That may or may not be good enough for a particular use case. In order to get my

Well, I never thought I'd see the day libcom was posted up on here. I spend a bit of time on their forums about 10 years ago - used to be a bit of a bearpit, don't know what it's like now. The archive is interesting, though.
