“It’s not a bug it’s a feature”

I hear the market is growing.

This is not a US case btw.

Freedom of speech is (nearly) black and white. We cannot feel free to express our speech even if others find it offensive. If we do restrict it, that is not freedom.

Seriously who downvoted this? I left this comment in response to parent, who had no idea this was not the Linus of Linux fame and said he was unable to afford teamviewer as a result of Linux being opensource.

And Linus torvalds can certainly afford it

Oh yeah, that’s entirely believable…

> aggressively cancelling shows

Even so much so I can’t find shows I saw ads for in 2017 or 2018 even existing because they were so bad. It makes me feel the Mandela effect is happening.

I like how it prevents unnecessary repetition. “An object with foo stored in key foo” { foo: foo } vs “an object containing foo” { foo }

That’s exactly what happens with cancel culture. Nothing is off limits and context of a person’s actions and works is lost and scrutinized as if it were now.

I think you’re missing the point and just want to stand tall on the “China’s(CCP) not so bad!” opinion you are so dearly, devoted to.

By in the “West” what do you mean? US? North America? Any place but China?

> You should be sceptical of all the news about China that comes from China.

Fixed it for you.

That’s how I remember a friend advertising Ultrasurf to me — a vpn used in China

> My point is, people working in a Web/IT field have been confusing Java and JS far before SEO's time. These people aren't programmers though they may have worked closely with programmers. Does that make them incompetent at their job?

It’s been around for nearly thirty years. It entirely matters if they are saying “your site has poor SEO because it uses Java” rather than “because it uses JavaScript”. I’m glad you reinforced it without becoming arrogant or standoffish and seemed to meet your goal in working with him. I’m not sure I’d been able to do the same myself. Merry Christmas :)

Sounds like he needs to consult some books and articles and get to that “I don’t know what I’m talking about” moment.

> What does that say about the last 40 years of usability and user experience research?

Bias. Attractive and usability/UX are not one in the same. I find this appalling yet likely good usability.

I’ve certainly been insane before and feel no offense by the parent comment. Simply linking this gist without an explanation of why you are or why you disagree seems like you cannot defend your opinion but with just a link to someone else’s opinion.

Again I feel no offense. You aren’t helping mental health (or anything for that matter) trying to censor language that is in no way malevolent in its usage.

Are you serious?

Ah no way. Looks like Nevada and Utah do too. Seems like that’s only 20 miles north

Where?

> Your customers will be more understanding if your outage is part if a wider outage that makes national news.

Yes they definitely are.

Or school appropriate. I made this mistake circa 2008 lol

> What a wonderful time to realize my HN handle is mistyped, lol.

About a year and 8 months time lol

>Lol, you are laughably bad to think that java is legacy.

Seriously. It might not be one of the hip new languages with unique features but it’s a very mature language that is well battle tested, has plenty of libraries available, and the talent pool is very deep for Java hires. It’s also something that stands the test of time —- write code in 1999 on an old Java version it will still likely run on that version today.

Like sulfur becoming an accepted spelling of sulphur from frequent misspelling? “Okay no one can get it right so just make it that too”.

Sorry you’re not a fan. This post probably isn’t targeted towards you.

I can certainly agree on the first three, pipes I’m not all for. Just seems like another way to skin a cat that is less readable (to me at least).

Functions being even on there is laughable. “I have 0 familiarity with the language but I must give my opinion!!!”

And sanity… sanity is last on the list.

It seems like a good idea but in general it would violate the spirit of the game. Human error wasn’t an issue before the advent of video that captured what was a strike or not, who was safe or not, who checked their swing or not. Pitchers painting the corners has been a trademark of pitchers like Maddux.

Especially a company with the Nerve to have a slogan of “Don’t be evil”.

It’s not a good comparison at all. Learning lisp or understanding it is a good base knowledge regardless of your primarily language. It’s not a language that’s truly esoteric and difficult to reason about by nature. Metaprogramming/macros can be difficult for those inexperienced, but not impossible. Esoteric languages are often created to either use unfamiliar syntax compared to common languages or unfamiliar paradigms to those. In the end, a lot of things are very similar in nature with esoteric languages, just a very different way, with syntax that’s not as readable as common languages. Lisp is certainly readable and easy to grin even if you have little knowledge of the language

>I don't really understand why this would be an advantage in a large app.

My best guess is trying to limit instances of AR models, encapsulating them in a new data access pattern versus traditional Active Record/ORM; in other words, misusing AR against how it was designed.
