Very true, and I totally agree. I just think the label 'Quality of Life' is a bit misleading and the numerical values to be somewhat meaningless.

The 'quality of life' section is a bit 1 dimensional. Clearly, there is more to life than crime and housing costs. Notably absent are lifestyle indicators -- bikability/walkability or cultural exposure for example. Dallas and

Are there really 'high-ego'/'low-ego' individuals? Is it not a spectrum over time? Is it not controllable to some degree? How is this different than toning down the ego a notch when trying to make platonic friends,

Some more ammo for you: Viennese, Milanese, Maltese, Faroese. '-ese' is also used heavily in Italian.

Hmm, mentions Pittsburgh and 'yinz', but not Pittsburghese. Definitely worth looking into if you're interested in strange regional dialects(?).

This might be fine for 20 somethings, but for the older folks with families looking for homes, I don't think Foggy Bottom or the surrounding area offer any realistic real estate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't understand why `strictNullChecks` is not the default behavior. It being a special compiler option makes me somewhat dubious of TypeScript in general.

I am going add my experiences here, in hopes someone from Reddit sees them, but they are more or less the same as everyone else's criticisms. The reddit mobile site takes 13 seconds to load on my Nexus 6 over wifi. Then it has the nagw

Interestingly enough, as a front end dev this was one of the few questions I agree with (though I'd present it differently). I wind up doing a ton of array/collection manipulation in my daily work, and I'd want to make sure a

I hate fib as an interview question as well, but for the record the non-recursive while loop implementation is preferable till tail call recursion lands in major browsers.

Excuse the overstatement -- there are sane ways to use the libraries in the same project. The point was the 3 libraries all prescribe a certain model of structuring and operating on data. One cannot reasonably expect to use all 3 without so

I've been doing FP in JavaScript fulltime for a few years now. I find it much easier than the OOP approach. My advice to the author is: choose ImmutableJS, Ramda, OR lodash. Don't choose all three. I think that is his anti-pattern

I think we all know people who are very detail oriented and will argue ad infinitum about minutiae, but don't actually get a lot done in a speedy fashion. I imagine they correlate an over interest in CS concepts with said group.

If you were writing code, I would argue against using De Morgan's laws just because you can. You're saving a few characters to make the code less obvious. Please correct me if there's some other benefit.

Does anyone know if this compounds generationally? Like do the odds go up for the son of an old father, who is the son of an old father?

Thanks for taking the time to give these detailed responses. One more question (restated from below): Coming from FP where immutability is sacrosanct, I often wind up writing classes that are largely immutable, which doesn't seem like

Basic OOP. What do I make a class? Functional programming in general clicks with me, however.

Most of the people I bootcamped with do not religiously read HN, but of those who do, most of us have solid jobs. This is obviously an anecdote, but I think it's logical those who had bad experiences and did not end up developers most

I did all of 2016 as a full time webdev with 4 gigs (not on a surface pro). Linux, a reasonably memory efficient text editor, and some chrome tab discipline is all it takes. In end, however, Docker dependencies eventually forced my hand to

I theorize the rise Chromebooks has at least partly contributed to the slump in tablet sales. I thought it was odd they weren't mentioned at all in the article, esp. given they are increasingly touch enabled and run Android apps now. S

There seems to be sizable chunk of people who agree (myself included). At this juncture (1.2 and rather successful) is there any feasible way for the maintainers to switch the nomenclature to something a tad more literal/expressive?

For all those fondly recalling learning Scheme first, allow me to provide the opposite perspective (kind of). Learning Scheme as my first language scared me away from programming for years. Yes, solutions to problems were often elegant and
