Did someone say that "intelligent anti-vaxxer" is an oxymoron yet?.
Just stick to a sane functional style and you should be OK. I would mostly consider stateful modules an antipattern in any long-running piece of software such as a Web app (server or client). Normally you'd like to use…
One reason why this is actually big is it reduces the boilerplate needed to write shell scripts in Node. I think seemingly tiny moves like this can reduce a certain cognitive overhead/feeling of unfamiliarity associated…
The hell is wrong with the scrolling on that site. Oh I get it. That's right, let's build an "eco-friendly" product and market it through a website that wastes electricity computing your cute footer effect that actually…
A machine made of people is still a machine.
What was?
Compile-time memory safety by default.
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think WebGL is the most performant graphics pipeline available in browsers today. I'm hooked on SVG's promise of semantic graphics, but every time I tried building something with SVG in a…
I don't remember how well it integrated with Bitwig - but a few years ago VST support on Linux using Wine, Jack and Carla (https://github.com/falkTX/Carla) was pretty solid.
Yes, if you call "the 7th layer of the stack" the people who started with it.
One word: inkwell.
Believe it or not, for some people the pointlessness of an activity greatly ruins the fun of it.
I've already been downvoted for trying to say this, but it's also because contemporary JavaScript is actually really nice.

So much this. CD/DVD/BluRay backups are awesome for taking back control of your data: * Way greener than a datacenter. * Can be stored in a physical location you trust. Encrypt them and, give them to a friend - trading…
Also this part: sudo chmod +a "$USER allow read,write" /etc/hosts alias monday='sudo -E monday' Sketchy much? Looks like half rooting oneself, half setting the stage for various phishing attacks.
> Python seems pretty popular. One reason it's so popular: even though it skips the actual curly brackets (thus making itself more accessible), it doesn't stray too far from the general syntactic paradigm of…
The Node example has zero external dependencies other than its the interpreter. `chmod +x`, put it in /usr/local/bin if you're feeling especially sacrilegious today, and that's it. > All of your stated benefits are nice…
Any character is a symbol, and an unfamiliar string of characters, ASCII or otherwise, is perceived by the unaccustomed eye as "a string of unfamiliar symbols" simply because at a glance you have no idea what it means.…
I've created this account with my very own purpose, what about you? It is to lurk less, and it's the first account that sticks because this time I remembered to whitelist HN in my cookie autodeleter. Nevertheless, it is…
I would argue that even an esoteric, densely packed one-liner can still be more readable than the equivalent program spread out over a greater number of lines - simply because you can keep it all in sight at the same…
1. Most people who interact with a shell know how to make it run one command with arguments; some eventually learn about IO redirection. Many such people who use Bash as a "command prompt" would find the way it does…
In absence of more accessible complexity measurements, line counts do matter somewhat. E.g. the briefer a program is, the more readable it is (last time I checked, brainpower and time is much more expensive than…
