fbreduc··on Microsoft to Tie Executive Bonuses to Company Diversity Goals

fbreduc··on Clear Acceptance Criteria and Why It’s Important
I completely agree and came to make a similar comment, if intentions were left that ambiguous for us we'd get eaten alive by contractors... I don't mean to but I laugh and think, wow this person has very limited scope of experience.
fbreduc··on Parsing malformed JSON
i don't get malformed json, i tell the sender to re-send data as json
fbreduc··on Google joins .NET Foundation as Samsung brings .NET support to Tizen
google is not good at making and fostering languages, C# and .net is much better bet
fbreduc··on Is OOP dead? Not by a long shot
objects are just a feature of FP, pure object oriented programming just seems like the next buzzword OOP people are good at making; I for one would love to put "experience in POOP" on my resume.
fbreduc··on Ask HN: Will you ever trust CNN again?
the popular vote has more to do with her landslide victory in CA than anything else. The gap between her and trump there was in the millions. That is the thing about winning, you can win, but you can't win harder. If you win by a sliver or a mile it's still just winning and that's why the electoral system is important.
fbreduc··on The Mega Rich Have Found an Unlikely New Refuge
Why wouldn't the security people just take it then? in a time like that, clearly asking for help is a sign of weakness...going to someone stronger and begging to keep you in power? doesn't make sense.. in chaos people will _take_.
fbreduc··on Video Games Are Boring

1> games are very buggy 2> i need super computers to play them

fbreduc··on Introducing Google Home
I heard they have plans to abandon it next month
fbreduc··on The Mega Rich Have Found an Unlikely New Refuge
What i think is funny is that the mega rich thing in a collapsed society they will be able to hold on to these areas? People... will just come and take it.
fbreduc··on ESPN Loses 621,000 Subscribers; Worst Month in Company History

fbreduc··on What should go into JSX 2.0?

fbreduc··on Keras.js – Run trained Keras models in your browser
cool but.. >Offload computation entirely to client browsers

i'm not sure that's a big benefit really

fbreduc··on Daydream – Google VR
its called going outside, people developing this stuff should try it sometime
fbreduc··on Never accept a counter-offer
Not very good advice, these things are always highly situational and any clear cut answer would prove ignorance
fbreduc··on Block Ad-Blocker?
I've disabled ad-blocking a few times for understanding people need to make a living on ad rev. The problem in doing so is that they then abuse me... Typically it's not one or two or three ads well placed and somewhat out of the way. It's full on intrusive bullshit.. ads flying from the left the right, drop down ads, scroll up ads, and then the ads that i accidentally click that take me to malware websites. These types of ads are found on even "well known" websites.. THAT is why I adblock. Use me but don't abuse me. Until that practice can be reigned in then there is nothing that will stop me from adblocking, or disabling your little adblock disable attempts with scripts, or lastly just not reading your content because it's not that important to me. There i said it :)
fbreduc··on The decline of Stack Overflow (2015)
I've never been a user of SO, i don't find it useful except really obscure stuff; I always reach for docs first and those usually have my answer, and typically a better answer.. There are many occasions when co-workers will come and say "LOOK HERE's THE SO ANSWER THE GOLDEN KEY" and that answer many times was just wrong.. or half the time didn't apply at all to what was happening
fbreduc··on Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker
there is a reason for this, and that reason is ABUSE. you know... one or two small well placed ads fine.. but what you get are situations where content is tiny, and really it's just about seeing who can spam you the most ads half of which serve malware.
fbreduc··on Haskell vs. Clojure (2014)
hmm still unsure what the types win me then
fbreduc··on Changing the Culture of Python at Facebook [video]
not many, just some op-y type jobs
fbreduc··on Stop the overuse of overflow menu
I really don't like to be negative, but this post doesn't offer any alternatives.. I use overflow menu's all the time because they have features that i need..

I also hear the terrible UI decisions to leave out features that only small % of people use, but honestly that thought process is exactly why I think so many UI's are broken, and why most times i just lean back toward command line and text based things..

If a UI can't do what i need then what is the point of it? I don't care how pretty it looks.., should i then open the app "hi mr app i know you cant do what i want, but i just wanted to look at you today".

fbreduc··on Lists of JavaScript methods which you can use natively
This seems like a great post on why you should be using lodash.. especially all those IE unsupported things. Like mentioned in the comments, it's not just about having one or two of these features, it's about how they compose so nicely in lodash
fbreduc··on [dead]
i agree but I would also like pope francis to to denounce the old testament otherwise it's hard to take political pandering seriously
fbreduc··on Maru OS – Your phone is your PC
while its cool, i cant imagine using my phone as PC, it would be like doing all my computing on a frustratingly slow raspberry pi when I can just use this laptop; not to mention storage on my phone is at a premium now, so not sure how that would be using it as my pc.. Think this idea needs a few years to marinate yet before phones are at this stage. but good work!
