Bug fix: document.querySelector("#result")...

querySelector needs the '#' in this case.

I agree. Elixir is just too obscure.

I just wrote some Go last weekend and the compile time was very slow. It reminded me of Scala. Any way I switched to Ruby and didn't have to deal with it any more. Turbo Pascal really was fast, but I don't see that in Go.

I just lost all respect for you. What a piece of crap you are.

First off, no one is getting executed. It's not a case of I capture you stealing from me and make you stand still while I shoot you in the head.

As for intruding into my house, you are going to be killed if I see you. I have a 13 year old daughter to protect and there is no debating why you are in my house uninvited.

How do you feel that your lack of action with an intruder may have emboldened the criminal to do it again? Maybe next time the home owner gets hurt, raped, killed, or has to watch a loved one get hurt, raped, or killed.

I respect that you see things differently than I do, but you come across as someone who does not respect other's views and would restrict those if possible.

Why did you keep using it if you hated it?

The idea is to call the institution back, often customer service, or log in to your account and check for alerts or messages. If customer support knows nothing about the contact attempt, I presume it's not legitimate.

The dynamic nature of JavaScript is lost when using TypeScript.

Although TypeScript can be added incrementally, in practice I've only seen it totally replace JavaScript.

While I do believe more people prefer TypeScript over JavaScript, I think it's because those people never deep dived JavaScript or bothered to learn it enough to see how powerful it really is. There are also people that just prefer typed languages and will shun languages without static types.

This really is a religious war and boils down to one's opinion. I like JavaScript without typing.

Am I the only one who finds the writing style very distracting? I couldn't even get past a few paragraphs. It's aweful!

I've never been asked to tell about my background, it's always about my self. It's just something every interviewer starts off with and frankly, is a waste of time. I just quickly blurt out my job history and we get on with the interview. But, if I was asked about my background, I would think the interviewer didn't read my resume.

Speaking of dead silent, I had an old PowerEdge server that was anything but quiet, let alone silent. That thing sounded like a jet taking off! I had to wait for the wife and kids to leave before I could turn it on and start tinkering. It was real heavy and I would put it on the kitchen bar and hook up an old monitor to it and just geek out for a while.

I still have one in my desktop computer that I built in 2012. I remember looking at how much better my 'windows experience' score was!

Now it's just a secondary storage drive that filled up pretty quickly. It felt good to say, "I'm running a 10K raptor."

It has nothing to do with spending. This whole problem stems from shutting countries down. Now it's all stacked up ready to go back into the economy, but we can't move fast enough. In time it will iron itself out, but high oil prices don't help, empty shipping containers stacked up don't help, the ports only working 8 hours don't help. It's a bunch of little stuff that added up to make a major problem.

Yes, commuting is the number one reason to work from home for me. I don't like to spend 1-2 hours a day driving back and forth just to have my ass in a chair at the office.

Are you really worried about a co-worker drinking beer and dicking around instead of helping with a busted merge? Did you make a bad hire? That's the kind of hyperbole managers use to rein everyone in.

Those things are also insurance against being killed. Are you supposed to just hope the bad people don't pick you? No, you invest in offense so you can have a better defense.

I've never seen 'best' in an email, but I have seen 'cheers,' which I always think is odd. I end all emails with 'thanks,' regardless of content.

Following your link takes me to an Ubuntu page. The first step is to open the 'Activities' overview and start typing 'Mouse & Touchpad.' What's 'Activities'? So I click on 'Activities' and it takes me to a Gnome page. What if I'm not using Gnome? What if I'm not using Ubuntu? Is it the same in KDE or Cinnamon? How about different Linux distributions?

Linux has become ridiculous in this regard, and that's the reason Linux will never be more than a geek operating system. A place where the tech savvy can praise it's features and crap all over Windows, which is only for the unwashed masses who aren't smart enough to see the obvious inferiority of Windows and the great evil empire that is Microsoft.

Yes, the desktop revolution is here! Finally we are free of Windows. Please... Windows is easier and more user friendly than Linux. Full stop.

JavaScript was never a messy language, it was the different browsers that created a horrible situation for using JavaScript in web pages.

I agree 100%. And don't complain about it and try to make it into language 'Y' by duct taping types on to it.

Oh, and Python 3 should've been a new language.

I would, because I wouldn't be bothered by a useless manager running around calling meetings and doing other useless activites.

They're saving a bunch of money just having one useless person.

I owned an ounce of gold in the past. When I needed some quick cash many of the buyers wouldn't buy it for fear of it being fake. The ones that would buy it wanted to pay less than the spot price. I've never owned it since, but silver coins were a different story. I had 1oz Canadian maple leafs that sold very quickly.

Yep, tails never fails!

I love the minimalist nature of it. No fluff and straight to the content.

Maybe there's not much to do as the CTO of Figma. Throwing time into Esbuild doesn't mean he's neglecting his CTO duties.

C'mon, if you enjoyed social interaction so much, you'd be a salesperson; not a manager talking to the same people all the time. Nope, you like being in charge and 'directing' people.

In 13 years of software development, I've never had a productive meeting where a manager was present. Only when engineers get together to argue and hammer out details is it productive. If a manager is present, he/she makes the decision or just agrees with the lead engineer and no further discussion takes place.

So, my view is that managers are useless and a net drain on the company wallet. Walking around, making decisions you're not qualified to make, approving time off, talking to people for 6 hours, time tracking, pushing employees to work more is the most useless role ever created.

My favorite development job is one that had no manager. The lead communicated with the director, who reported to the CEO. It was great because the lead was an engineer that coded with the rest of us. No meetings or other useless activities. When the company was purchased, the software architect was made the new manager as part of the new structuring. Immediately, he instituted metrics and developer rules. Within a year most engineers had left. Thank you management...

At my last job, we 3 engineers were doing fine without a manager, once again the lead took care of things and reported to the director. But the director's best friend needed a job and became our new manager. And here we go again... Within a year and a half I'm the only engineer left on the team and I end up quiting 3 months after shouldering the load and working 7 days a week.

I don't trust any manager and I go out of my way to avoid them even as far as refusing promotions to avoid more interaction with one.

Norvig presents complete programs for the reader to read and make changes to, instead of small snippets to practice with. You read more trying to comprehind the program.

Nothing.

I think people confuse interesting with exciting. Excitement was when I first got my driver's license; when I got my Atari 800 for Christmas; the first time I drove a 1998 BMW M3, whew! that car made me smile every time I drove it! Things like those excited me, not another web framework or programming language, or cloud services, or another phone, or saving the world somehow.

But I do have interests like programming a TI calculator, living off grid, making a rogue-like game, repairing and restoring classic arcade games from the ground up, such as Pacman and Defender.

Excitement only comes every once in a while.

I agree. I use seperate computers for each operating system I use; which is currently Windows 10 and FreeBSD. I don't use MacOS much any more and Linux seemed to be edging closer towards Windows, so FreeBSD brought me back into a more traditional Unix world with TWM and command lines. I enjoy it.

Just played it and it's a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing the link.
