I don't think he was equating the two. Just comparing them. Many of us have experienced cruelty. That doesn't mean anything less severe than what we've experienced is not cruel (although I wouldn't describe getting downv

You've gotta admit though that inlining isn't the usual case. Especially if you're not using ES6 and the component your inlining is a few or more lines long.

I never thought of Techcrunch to be about tech and I don't think it covers the aspects of startups I care about. When I say tech and startups, I mean programming languages, software and great hacks a startups use to scale and build the

You don't have to come to HN exclusively. I like the idea of HN or any other website being focused on single-theme. If I want to read about startups and tech I come to HN. If I want to read about something else, I go else where. I enjo

OP here. Wrote some articles for InfoQ (which I believe operate in the U.S.) in the past and they paid me via wire transfer without issue.

I am in Hargeisa and a mid-level manager there. Either I need to work on my schmoozing skills or they're not giving access to anyone outside the company (and customers). For those wondering what Somcable is; they're a company who

Life in Somalia varies depending one where you are. Most of the danger most people associate with the country happens in the south. I live in north in a autonomous region called Somaliland. Pretty peaceful, don't have to worry about bo

I don't think English would be issue for me. I consider it my first language and long story short; I sound like an American but never been west of the mid-east. I think Skype works well enough on my home connection but I don't do

Regarding the site, I made it in one sitting as a placeholder for my domain. I use the domain mostly for my personal email and giving my apps a proper domain name I control rather than an IP address or a domain name I don't control (e.

Nope. There are online universities that I could enroll in that offer Master's degrees but I'm not interested in it. I looked up one school's Master's curriculum and it seemed pretty similar to the stuff I've learne

Can you expand on what you said about the `delete` keyword implications with the GC? I've never heard of that issue.

It may be that Twitter didn't list your tweets in the search results. That's what happened to my first tweet, which is apparently an anti-spam measure Twitter employs. Knowing no one else who used Twitter, I had no other use for t

I'm pretty sure you can use Angular without jQuery and even without using the jQuery-lite thing they have in it. I've moved on from Angular now but I definitely didn't rely on jQuery at all during my end of my Angular days.

Submit button below the comment box is an <input type="submit" /> but missing a value so it says "Submit Query" on Firefox. Probably should change that.

I don't think you understand the term victimless crime. By your definition no crime is a victimless crime since all crime costs money to investigate.

Oh sure, the stateful model thing you mention definitely sucks which is why I hate using asp.net web forms and prefer asp.net mvc at the office. Both of them have lifecycle methods, (for app start, request start, request end, etc.) and for

What's wrong with having six lifecycle stages? I don't use JSF (or Java) but I can understand the usefulness of having several lifecycle methods assuming you can hook into them and add your own custom logic. The more lifecycle sta

Possibly true but still shouldn't be encouraged. It's like catcalling; maybe you've met women that way but you also probably annoyed a whole lot more. The cons outweigh the pros (unless you don't care how you make other

Writing the article that way would defeat its apparent purpose; to name and shame. They even bought a domain name of the guys full name and pointed it at this blog. I assume they're probably promoting on social media (why else buy the
