I'd like to say I love typescript, too. It's better for collaborative development than raw JS. My point is different, that working in the "low level" or raw JS, obfuscated or not, is where the substantive work happens.…
The substantive part is that nothing they wrote back to him, and nothing he wrote in this article was substantive aside from a vague claim about how CEOs who respond (with junk) are better CEOs.
Where's the part about not having a safety net? Rich, secure people love to tout their riskless efforts as perilous when they did it voluntarily with no potential for long term negative consequence.
This is some real ball-fondling born-into-privilege nonsense. I could write to CEOs too, but I wouldn't be so impressed with their boilerplate social interaction, and the predictability of it is why I won't.
"Enterprise development" is not the same as "serious development". Anyone still doing regular old JavaScript without the transpiling and megaframework dependencies is arguably taking their task more seriously than those…
Let's go out on a limb here and consider that people aren't overly self critical, and the problem is actually that they can't do anything about their failure to meet high self expectations, because they are in effect…
If by chance this is not a joke, you should look into ECC memory and why it exists.
That is a fair concern.
No, I was a bit hyperbolic perhaps in response to the tone of the article or its headline. Of course there are responsible organizations who are affected and have costs associated with GDPR. Knowing nothing of what your…
The US expects to be asked permission before encryption technology can be used in a software product. Our copyright and general intellectual property policy has been pushed on everyone else. We (The US) even go so far…
Lots of companies are ready for GDPR, i.e. the ones that handle user information responsibly in the first place, and aren't opaque data hoarders as a central part of their business model. I'm personally not a fan of the…
Oh but regular collars must be animal abuse too, then, because tugging on a creatures neck is not pleasant. As well as not providing a square mile play area with ideal humidity and temperature and lots of fun toys.
The idea that our measurement of progress only needs to be binary (did we or didn't we progress?) shows indifference to the endless problems yet unsolved. Better than yesteryear doesn't mean good enough. Far from it.
You're assuming rich and high IQ go together. We don't live in a meritocratic society and as such, that's not true.
I'm not sure that it would be ruinous. Isn't RSA still trusted? People have a tendency to overlook or even defend broken protocol when it's "the good guys"
Oh realtek is Taiwanese, but I don't doubt they have reason to cooperate as well.
Isn't a national security letter enough to "break in" to any US company?
Just addressing the last thing you said, I think sophistication has to do with the level of knowledge required to implement. Whether that means knowledge politely asked for or through other means has implications for…
Don't you think many HN posters will object to using a chat service with a fishy as-of-yet probably-not-profitable business model and a big ol' database of all the messages sent? Discord is a great service for now, but…
Having a bigger, further away screen may prove to help prevent myopia, though. Eyes focused on near objects all the time tend to go myopic. I'm not sure a few extra feet is that significant though, compared to looking…
Yes, the same one where people are convicted due to lying police on occasion, it's pretty flawed
Webassembly is the better thing we will replace JS with as a target language for browsers.
Lending isn't productive in and of itself. There is a nice gradient stretching from freeloading rent-seeker to visionary/socially responsible investor. Not seeing the difference and condemning the former is a problem.…
Little is more naive than the broad claim "collectivism doesn't work" because the USSR and other states tried some form of it and failed. Even if you are willing to massively oversimplify things and look at the cold war…
It isn't that simple at all. When the returns are pushed lower, the means of extracting wealth from low class workers get more brutal. Suffering builds up at the bottom because of decisions at the top, and decision…
