I agree, JS is kind of all over the place.

Here's my hot take on Ruby (as a big Ruby fan): Ruby libraries in general have bad documentation. Some other languages I've worked with in the same time frame that typically have better docs are node.js/regular js, Python, Go

For the political experts out there, what would happen if we stopped allowing lobbying? That seems to me like the most obvious source of corruption. Edit: ok, I should have worded better. What if we stopped allowing corporate lobbying throu

This would be a huge blow to the middle class.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that the movie industry has held on to DRM so hard.

I played this on PC as a kid and really did not like it. I have not revisited it since, but what I remember is that it felt awful to control. Like Sonic was underwater, which is not exactly what you want from Sonic. Evidently this adjusts t

I think preparation is a big part. If you offer a kid pizza and some cold broccoli together then yeah, they'll skip the broccoli.

> it’d be better for everyone if things were free This is compelling for me. Not so I can have free stuff, but because it's beneficial to society to have access to these things without worrying that it's going to vanish. Think

> Sometimes artists don’t enjoy success for decades, and then it happens long after their most influential work. I know there are notable examples of this, but they are notable because it's incredibly rare.

This argument depends greatly on how much you're shortening copyright. Even if it went back to 30 years, I'm skeptical that it would impact it much. They may still sell, but I doubt publishers are being kept afloat by works that o

by vlunkr 5y ago
That's exactly why the argument is that copyright should be shorter, not non-existent. When you publish something, 99% of the time are that you are going to make most of the profit in the first few years after release. If you're i

For me the fact that it's censorship-resistant is not the interesting point here, it's that it's decentralized.

They say it "briefly" showed that logo. Who knows how long that is.

I haven't watched the film, but this article failed to convince me that it was prophetic at all. It came out it 2006, besides the fact that we had a clown president, things have really not changed much.

My complaints with redux were that people couldn't leave it alone. At least in my experience, there was a lot of middleware or libraries built on top of what was a conceptually very simple library. Using the redux-toolkit and the hooks

I'm sure there were some bad comments, but IMO this is a marketing ploy. Remember Ghostbusters 2016? The film-makers made a huge deal about the trailer being downvoted heavily, claiming it was all about sexism. When in reality the trai

I don't know, if you hang out in certain parts of the internet, it feels like a revolution is coming, but it reality Bernie still can't win the primaries, so I don't think the numbers are actually there. But I also won't

It must be incredibly anxiety-inducing to have a camera in your own home that someone else could be looking through. And I thought the horror stories about at-home test proctoring were bad.

If you go in expecting to work that much, great, but I think it's easy for people to be manipulated and overworked for the good of a company when they should push back for their own good.

I think it should be obvious that that's not what I'm talking about. If I'm employed to work 40 hours a week, I'm not going to work more than that on a regular basis.

It seems to me that the ratio of hate-for-microservices/companies-actually-using-microservices is way out of wack. I know that there are some high-profile cases like Uber, but in nearly every conversation I see online or in person, we&

They've also made some (or most?) subreddits unavailable on the mobile site. It's obviously a hostile attempt to force people into the mobile app.

That's a great point. Unless there's some software you want to use that can't run on Chromebooks, there's probably not a compelling reason to switch.

While it's good to get up-to-date, I don't think anyone should go re-write code or radically change their programming style to use generics. There's no need to over-complicate things. Anywhere that you're either copy-pas

I think that for it to really take off someone needs to release a laptop where linux is truly supported over windows, and they maintain, or help maintain, a distro to runs perfectly on that hardware. That's the only way you're goi
