I have a feeling this would be illegal in the United Kingdom.

Also massive confirmation bias for people who blog. Who knows what non-blogger-makers are like. The novelty of doing something that appears to be 'new' can blind you to the fact that people have been doing it for millions of years

I agree there's a lot of navel-gazing and self-aggrandizing. It's one of those regrettable personality traits that comes with the territory, I think. But this post in particular was a nice contrast with that, a defence of not havi

This contemporary artistic influence is surely one of the components of the definition of culture. Of course everyone is influenced by all kinds of things. It's not a crime not being able to trace the lineage though, nor not to want to

Just curious about how you'd validate the hash thing, especially with the rise in single-page apps with routing information in the fragment.

If you're going to provide zero value-add to other people's content on YouTube, this is the way to do it.

I didn't mean you personally! I meant the author of the article. And 'you' at the end referred to anyone reading. Not particularly clear, sorry.

Good for you. I'd rather be in my office. I like delineating working space from fun space. I've worked a day a week from home for a few years. Every time I think it'll be a Good Thing and every time I regret it. And that does

What is this? Sorry, but I'm not going to watch shapes flying around my screen to find out.

I think that's more to do with the Ruby community than unit testing. They seem obsessed with new DSLs for everything.

by waterlion 13y ago
Hm. This is possibly the most simplistic conceivable form of unit testing. Granted, lots of testing takes this form but it's only the start.

ASCII? Really?

This is either very incoherently written, automatically generated or pastiche word salad. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Nowhere does it explain what "RTS" stands for.

I am deeply disorganised myself. Without keeping track of things I'd be all over the place. I find the tactility of paper beats computer-based organisation solutions hands down. But once you have a notepad in front of you I can't

I find it astounding that someone went to the effort of making that video. Of the people who do use paper, who doesn't work like this, or do something very similar?

Did you actually read it? It's an infographic, presented as a GIF. If you'd actually taken the time to look you would have seen ... that the API indeed does not appear.

I try to avoid Nestle products, for lots of reasons, visible on their Wikipedia page. They are a truly scummy company. Like most people I'm not perfect, but I make a point of avoiding products (you can get a lot of mileage out of not e

I didn't make the comment, and don't necessarily support it, but I think I understand it. I think it's the result of hobby programming/hardware converging with professional programming/hardware. The hacker scene col

There are lots of Python libraries too, and PIP. This wasn't necessarily a dig at just this platform but the general principle of re-inventing multiple wheels, except this time with JS.

Haha I like definition #1.

by waterlion 13y ago
I don't understand this craze to use JS everywhere. It's not the best language for every job. The main argument seems to be 'if you know JS you can use it in product X'. If you're not competent enough to learn anoth

I never quite worked out what "rockstar" meant, but surely choosing new tech for the sake of it isn't it.

This thing about hastily stating how much you love your country seems bizarre. I don't know if it's a uniquely American thing but to British ears it always seems odd. It seems like a constant struggle to reassure patriotism in a w

I know this is a little off-topic but I spent a while wondering why the article ("I'm not scared of you any more") bore no resemblance to the title ("Too fit for the role"). Turns out I dismissed the popup window automatically because 100%

It will be fascinating to see how this discussion out in a mainly American forum. In very broad terms, the attitude that the Italians seem to have to Knox is similar to the attitude that the Americans had to Woodward, and very much vice ver
