> You can also write Swift code and use another transpiler to get JavaScript code from it and you would say that JS is great.

I haven't read the article yet, but what you're saying is something completely different, in my opinion. If you write Swift you're writing a completely different language, with all the hassles usually introduced when transpiling. TypeScript, however, is just Javascript with some of the assumptions made explicit and a transpiler that actually checks whether you're violating those assumptions. In that sense, it's not much different from a linter - another tool that makes Javascript more pleasant to write.
I boxed twice as an amateur, and got stopped in my second fight after my eye closed up (southpaw got a thumb in my eye is my excuse).

But I look at Thai Boxing matches with flying knees, elbows, etc and that recent video where a fighter footswept someone and then kneed them in the head on the way down and I think "Fuck that."
Yeah, I I just checked this tool and was shocked it doesn't export to html/css.... No wonder they give it away for free, but I can't see how this product can succeed.
I'm an outsider to the JS world but find it absolutely fascinating the direction the language has taken. It's clear that a lot of the new language features enable more concise functional programming. I see this as a good thing.

I'm really surprised that whilst the language on the one hand gives nice tools like the object spread syntax, the last time I checked it didn't make it easy to make the interpreter enforce immutability.

It seems strange to me that the language evolves in this way to recognise foot-guns but doesn't give you the tools to turn them off. Object.freeze looked like it would do the trick, but it's shallow. Freezing doesn't survive the spread syntax, which makes perfect sense because it freezes the original object, and of course the whole point of immutable objects is to create a new object.

It feels like you're able to program in this style, but the language designers didn't really consider it very much and were just introducing the syntax to be consistent with the other spread syntax.
Perhaps, but probably not. ES6 recognises the distinction, and includes native functions for serialisation. That's first-class treatment if anything is.
An advantage, however, is that you can directly encode Javascript data objects to JSON without having to annotate its fields or anything. I don't recall you being able to do that with Java.
1. We've had higher order functions since 1960s, it's not a new discovery that is singular to JS, that award goes to LISP and Scheme.

2. Concurrent execution has also been introduced in the 1960s (Dijkstra 1965), Ada and Erlang supported that behaviour since the 80s.

3. LISP has a type system and basically any LISP runtime will yell at you for comparing strings with numbers just like that. SBCL can do this check at compile time even.

Additionally LISP lets you add a type system on top using macros and other tricks (some going as far as implementing a Haskell-like typesystem in LISP).

Almost puked a little in my mouth
I think that much of these criticism relate to the implementation, and the runtime (i.e. browser) rather than the language itself. As a scripting language for a browser environment it's pretty good. Modern variants have lots of lovely language features and tools like babel mean you can use a lot of these new features without sacrificing backward compatibility.

The threadless/nonblocking model is "interesting" but in my opinion its wholly suitable for user-oriented scripting as it forces a style of development that doesn't block.

The null/undefined thing actually makes sense to me. The concept of "Null" is a swirling vortex of uncertainty in most languages and it's nice to see it get some more nuanced treatment.

There's something about the bloody-minded pragmatism of javascript that appeals too ... it's very much a language that has evolved from the bottom up based on need, and much of it is very much community driven. You see problems solved in interesting and unusual ways that you mightn't see in a more stringently stewarded language.

I wouldn't use it for everything. I wouldn't prescribe it for beginners to programming either. But it's great for what it does. I like lots of other languages too, but I respect their applicable limitations. It's a nice language.

Setting up payment interfaces in each currency takes a while but matching isn't hard. FX streams are easy to get, the algorithms to convert currencies so that you avoid exposure are not complicated.

It's probably mostly keeping all interfaces to payment vendors working.
That is not the case - the mouse itself is whining, it does it even when the receiver is not plugged into anything.
Immutable objects are not common in JS. You can conceptually treat them as immutable, but they are mutable, because their base type is mutable and by extension everything is mutable.
I don't like excessive complaining but isn't it valid to ask why a company such as airbnb needs to spend the money on their own font?
Actually C++ these days is moving more towards strong typing and immutability - imho the exact opposite of JavaScript...
It could mean that they see themselves as competing in a global marketplace. That they don't rely on geography and are quite happy to be ranked against the best of them. Not necessarily ranked highly but content to compete based on productivity and quality of work alone.

Probably not what they meant though :)
In the end, you have to transpile your code to JavaScript. Whether you are writing TypeScript or Swift code.
But I agree, Typescript has more similarities with JS than Swift does.
This was a really awful change. Not only did it break lots of existing sites, it broke lots of sites that weren't even trying to autoplay.

Basically the new policy triggered based on how you set up your AudioContext, regardless of whether you played any sounds. Most sites doing anything interesting with WebAudio just set up their context at init time (until now there was no reason not to), so as a result almost every WebAudio demo out there got broken. I was looking through back issues of Web Audio Weekly and in Chrome it was a wasteland - nothing worked, autoplay or not.

I know the Chrome team works hard, but sometimes it's hard to believe that they feel the responsibility of stewardship they have over the web. Breaking existing content with no benefit to user experience should be considered a showstopper bug, not something you just delay until "after developers have time to update their code".
You should try Kotlin. It solves exactly this pain point - creating classes for data structures is very terse and easy.

You can have a one-liner class like

class Person(val name: String, val email: String, val yearOfBirth: Int? = null)

Or you can make it a `data class` and get automatic `equals` and other things.

Unfortunately given that java does type erasure, you don't get the kind of full featured JSON lib that Json.Net is in the .NET world. Presumably you'd have to somehow annotate to the deserializer what each individual list/array's generic type is for it to properly deserialize, separate from the type definition itself.

Aberdeen Youth Hostel Reviews Contact Details and Phone Number
Most of Rome's engineering achievements were not performed using slave labour though. They were largely executed by the army. Slaves worked in plantations and mines, but tended to die out after a generation because slaves having babies and raising children were unproductive, so the slave economy relied on a constant influx of new slaves from conquests. Once the Empire largely stabilised it's borders, the supply lines ran dry and the population of slaves dwindled away.

The idea of a Dark Ages is largely a north-western European one because we got largely cut off from Rome for a few centuries. In Italy and France, and especially in the Byzantine Empire there was no Dark Age. Technological progress didn't stop and slavery was no longer a major sociological or economic factor.
"Coil whine".
The crucial difference with VBA is its openness and community-driven evolution. VBA is stewarded and designed almost entirely by Microsoft whereas there are many many stakeholders involved in Javascript, and it's certified by an independent body and has lots of different variants that complement each other. Also it has many "cousins" such as actionscript or swift which you can get up to speed quite quickly in once you know JS. I don't believe VBA has the same degree of transferable skills.
A CEO should love the company and the products or services which you offer, so ask questions to find out about his opinion and his passion. You could ask directly or with some indirect questions to get a glimpse. I also would recommend talking about not job-related topics to build a friendly connection between the potential CEO and employees. A good CEO is also interested in his employees and should be on good terms with them, not a real friendship maybe but a respectful connection.

All but maybe a few small % of the TIOBE index would fail all or some of those requirements... So while the enthusiast side of me heartily agrees with you, the professional programmer side of me has seen plenty of good code despite a lack of those features. Just because I know that better language features exist doesn't condemn every language lacking them as unusable.
I always love companies explaining their decisions as if they had some kind of moral high ground and it's their duty for the good of the people.

The real reason is summed up perfectly in the article: "a substantial portion of our community (including donors and campaigns) have been motivated by opposition to Donald Trump".

It's all about the money, all the time so the company should stop treating the readers as if they are 3 year old while spinning a moral story of Prince Charming battling the Big Bad Evil.

Let's not get started in with "Though we are an open and non-partisan platform...". That phrase went goodbye forever when this decision was made. They chose a side and now they have to live up with the decision.

What irks me is that has happened since ever and companies sway with public opinions as reeds in the wind: pro-war (Vietnam, Irak, Afghanistan etc.) then anti-war, anti-black, anti-jew, anti-woman and anti-lgbt (yeah companies used to discriminate and spun a moral fairy tale to justify their decisions). Now companies are saying that discrimination is bad except when it's against republicans. I hope the irony is not lost on them.
lol... and then I come into work and find out from my colleague that actually Cloudflare now disables the Via header by default.
I think there's a subtext to all of this where the NSA is dismissive of, well, basically all academic cryptanalytic work. The converse of that, of academics and the NSA, didn't (I think?) used to be true, but might gradually be taking this shape, so that the two groups are just mutually dismissive of each other.

This isn't new. My paper about exploiting shared caches in Intel Hyperthreading as a side channel to steal an RSA key was rejected by the Cryptology ePrint archive "because it wasn't about cryptology", while some people in the computer security community dismissed it as "just a theoretical cryptography thing".
Prop 13 is a crude solution to the problem of cities being unwilling to properly manage their budgets. Something had to be done, and nothing better was offered. Cities would take on unsustainable expenses, then be unable to shed them when required.

An example of a specific cost is pension-like benefits. They turn bad when the paying population shrinks, when the receiving population lives longer than expected, or when costs (such as healthcare) for the receiving population change.

An example of a general cost is the tendency for the expenses to grow to match income. This can happen when a real estate bubble provides a property tax windfall. People get hired, people get raises... and then there is a need to cut all that back when the bubble bursts. This one is particularly bad because the bubble doesn't actually mean that people have more money for paying the tax. The tax rate needs to go down, keeping the city budget mostly unchanged, but that never happens. (the city may need to pay more, but this is minor because not all goes to property: materials are included, and there is a delay before the average worker's housing cost rises much)
That begs the question of which people ? Only the homeowners ?

> I may continue to argue in order to "win"

I do that too sometimes though I think the reason is deeper than simply winning. The few times I concede a point, the opposition is very likely to ridicule me for that (on the internet at least that is my experience, even in so called "welcoming communities").

It's a rather hostile behavior to laugh at others for having learned or discovered something new.
That's a cynical view, and I don't think I said you should depend on Cache-Control working. Yes, there will be bad actors, but the majority of clients are good actors. It's just one of several measures you should take to even out the load.

Of course you'd want a caching layer in front of the server doing the actual work, but it's still possible to "thundering herd" the cache server if you use an Expires header. Even if the herd doesn't hurt your backend server, it can still make the load on your caching frontend servers spike at specific time periods with every good actor refreshing the content at the same time. So it's still ideal to try and even out that load with Cache-Control.

In a word: yes. Even within the field this causes confusion (researchers of course know the distinction in principle, but the term “inheritance” is suggestive, and has led more than one person down the garden path). To make matters worse, “epigenetics” also can refer to several different things.

Islamic civilization was never very curious about the outside world other than militarily. There is a famous story about Galileo's telescopes being sent as a gift to a Muslim ruler to observe the planets. They didn't see any point in this but were excited about being able to use them to spot and attack other ships.

Islamic culture did preserve some of the old Greek scholarship, but real science didn't get started until after their Golden age was past.
What were your reasons for leaving?
I don't think there are that many examples of roman technical innovations or scientific development. They were ultimately practical, but not overtly imaginative. They adapted, what they found practical, and could scale up what worked due to their organizational skill.

I think the main impediment to progress in the ancient world was the tendency not to share discoveries but to keep them secret. No patents, but your schoolmates will kill you if you share the discoveries taught to you. Academies were not universities - more like a dude with a few disciples. If your disciples just don't get your invention it will just be forgotten. I'm sure greek went past Euclid in all sort of ways but we just never heard from them.

I got interested in functional programming through JavaScript. It might have been React w/Redux that initially demonstrated the value of immutability and pure functions to me.

rugby has recently introduced a rule whereby there is a pitch-side doctor who will investigate replays of collisions where a concussion is suspected to have occurred. players are then removed from play for a mandatory 10 minute risk assessment which, if failed, means they cant return to play. quite a sensible move which should definitely be explored further and removes some of the burden of being a tough guy and playing through it
The dV to get off Mars and to interplanetary transfer is about half that from Earth. I would expect the ejection energy of impact debris particles to scale with the square root of the impact energy, so you'd need four times the impact energy on Earth to achieve the same level of debris ejection as on Mars, and that's not counting the effect of Earth's atmosphere on cushioning and ameliorating such impacts.

The dV to then end up on either planet doesn't matter because aerobraking and lithobraking do all the work for you.
