Yelling "fire" into a crowded theater is more than speech. Similar to when a person gets in another's face and screams at them it becomes more than speech. We can restrict modes of expression without restricting content.

It's really not all that impossible for singular mutations, hence evolution. Further, adaptations composed of independently maladaptive mutations can occur. This is the point of the comment you responded to. They are unlikely, but he a

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of your comment. Google's optimizations can achieve asmjs-like performance outside the well-defined subset so it doesn't necessarily benefit Google. If compile-to-js language authors targ

Ah, so it goes the other way too. Sort of like a request inliner/outliner that can perform dynamic optimizations. The client can inline requests using view-state unknown to the server. Then the server can outline them in whatever desir

I assume Relay performs the diff-outward-query/patch-inward-data thing. Frankly, that's fucking brilliant. I hope the people at Facebook are extremely pleased with themselves. If I understand correctly then once the number of item

I suspect those that learn to program before they're expected to have more undirected time to consider alternative formulations of their programs. People who learn later aren't performing the playful exploration that's necess

Instead of just thinking about the issue lets fill our minds with simulations of all the other minds and their thoughts about the issue. That way we can be considerate of everyone's point of view. Then we can assert the insensitivity o

To prevent the over/under fetching you're describing you could partition your endpoints and make multiple requests. Although, thats definitely a code-maintenance win for GraphQL. It seems like if you were co-executing the client o

Actually this can be addressed with HTTP/2 although I think the solution may be just as complicated. If the yet-to-be-known parameters are encoded in the query string then the requests can be push ed to the client before the client kn

I suspect his comment meant to imply that a level of skill exists for which a programmer could build an FFT in python, a plain DFT in C, but not a proper FFT in C. That programmer would benefit from using python.

You apparently "don't know what it's like" to have something in your life that causes their state of mind. We shouldn't condemn them for choosing this lifestyle. Especially not when their alternative is likely min

The first few chapters of this book are, to the extant that I'm aware, the best introduction to the concepts of programming in existence. Also, the online version of the book features an inline code-highlighting text editor from the sa

Totally agree on VDOM, it's an implementation detail. I also agree that isomorphic is an intimidating and esoteric term. There are examples however, like the word function , which are "overly psuedo-mathy" in exactly the s

It's more than just sharing code. It's all about your routes. In an isomorphic web framework: You write a single description of a route handler as a function from JSON to VDOM. That handler will load different dependencies on the

You've just expanded the time horizon until something was apparently worse than the present. That doesn't refute a local decline.

Nope. That's the wrong explanation for empathy. This won't be popular. Empathy forms in environments where individual outcomes are determined by group perception. Everyone romantacizes it's benevolence but it's really al

The top comment contrasts two ostensibly identical situations. In the first, a calm person becomes much angrier than would be expected. In the second, a person already suppressing otherwise unacceptable anger exploits an opportunity to expr

Not necessarily, maybe I just like yelling at people. I needn't believe anything false for that to be true.
