I agree with this. Many JS programmers have come into it either as their first language, or from object-oriented languages like Java. Unlike Python, there is no One True way to do things in JS. If you look at JS in the wild you'll see the same thing done in a myriad of different ways. I often think JS programmers prefer the one that makes them look the most clever. Learning a language like Clojure teaches you the importance of mutability, functional style etc. Once you know those things deeply, it's not about aesthetics or looking clever any more, it's about writing good code.

But there is also the practical aspect. Plain JS lacks a lot of standard library support to be functional. You have to be really careful about what is functional and what isn't. The standard library is also inconsistent, like PHP (for example, how Map and Set .add returns the object but .delete returns a Boolean).
This blew my mind - for 30ish years I've taken it for granted gnuplot was part of the GNU project.
> Did you read this part?

Yes, I also read the body text after the numbered heading in the prior excerpt, which makes two different choices in sentence-starting position in sentence case. But what I was responding to was the inference of a rule bases on usage in “title font” (which seems to be a reference to title case), not a complaint about the inconsistent use in sentence case. Hence, the except you provide here isn't really germane to anything I've said.
I have to admit that it's pretty easy to build your own plotting software. As long as you have the ability to draw lines and pixels, it's easily done.
> one thing schools do do is bring people from many different backgrounds together for long periods of time.

As our communities become less diverse, our schools follow. At least in Canada from my experience having lived all over the place. For example, a White suburb leads to white schools, and the house value of the suburb is always roughly the same so the socioeconomic status of the students is pretty close. There’s no bussing kids from different areas around to achieve diversity targets.
Wrong. There is a tremendous more amount of evidence that eating fish helps cardiovascular health. Unlike the “carnivore diet” where they just cherry pick RCTs.

And for those who say “you don’t have to eat the animal to get the health benefits”, please tell that to any Inuit or Saami people. They lived on his diet for generations and it’s affected their genome as a result.

Nope. If you actually look at the biological / evolutionary biological literature you’ll find that there is no shortage of people who have thought deeply about biological ontology. To get you on the right track, most biologists agree that recognized entities should correspond to the historical evolutionary process. Plenty of discussion about the details there though.

> When folks say "forest", like "I'm going to go hiking in the forest", they usually don't specify what species or genus of tree. A street could be lined with "trees", or a "tree" could fall on someone's car. We categorize trees together because they tend to occupy the same enough overall role and profile.

That sounds like something that could very much be different in different languages.
I think you are confusing composing with performing. A composer doesn't need to be able to play an instrument to compose music for it. Composing hip-hop tracks doesn't mean that you need to be a skilled performer of a musical instrument—but it still means you need to be a skilled musician. You aren't just going to throw 20 seconds of some nonsense together and then loop it over a whole track and come away with something that stands up to what a skilled producer can make.

Also, criticizing hip-hop for having repetitive background music is kind of like criticizing Bach's Prelude in C Major for having no rhythmic variation—it may be true but it's completely missing the point.

It is a common complaint among a lot of experienced DCSS players that the game is too long. I have 10 wins under my belt and I stopped playing mostly for this reason. About half way through the game your victory is essentially guaranteed.

There's a whole community of otherwise often cutthroat rivals cooperating somewhat peacefully on a truly giant software infrastructure project for 25+ years. A place where no one even asks about your skin colour, gender, religion or other abilities as long as you can submit correct code in a way that everyone is comfortable with. I'm fairly certain even Donald Trump, bin Laden, a seven year old school girl or a gay albino penguin could all get a patch accepted if the patch was OK. Edit: I'm fairly certain even Iranian and Israelian coders could get patches merged in the same release and nobody would even notice. Maybe it has even happened a number of times already for what I know. Same goes for hardcore Atheists, Buddhists, Catholics, Hindus, and what have you. We can't even know because the kernel people do not keep notes about that.

Then there are people coming from the outside trying to insert themselves as authorities not only on what tooling should be used but also as moral authorities down to the level of deciding on what language should be used.

Ask HN: Documentation Only for Users?
Hi there,

We are planning on releasing a documentation portal for our saas and a question popped up if this should only be visible for authorized users.

Pros:
Hide unique features from competitors

Cons:
Less exposure, SEO

Deep inside I think the right answer is to not worry about competitors but to focus on your on product. The features are already visible sort of on the homepage.

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

I once read about a conspirarcy theory that trees don't actually exist anymore and the plants we take for trees today, are actually glorified bushes.

The theory goes on about how mountains are actually the stumps of trees of the past, which, in turn, were thousands of miles high.

The theory came from the flat earth direction.

The title reminded me of this and I found the idea hilarious back when I read it.
Personally I've found that the value in the tests you are describing is in proving that you've fixed the issue.

When you have a race condition that is difficult to reason about or reproduce, if you can distil it down to a test case that consistently fails until you fix it then you can be comfortable that your solution holds - yes it may be of little value going forward but it can be a very valuable part of the process.

It can also serve as documentation going forward, as whilst it may be brittle, when does fail hopefully the person will check the description/blame and instantly find the context as to why it exists, before using their judgement as to whether it is still valid or not. (Rather than changing something that looks odd and not realising that they've re-introduced the edge case)

If you're interested in the software side of things you might be interested in the paper below, I've seen a lot of work on doing heuristics to solve the routing problem for drops on these devices. The paper solves the problem by transforming it to SAT, which in turn results in an optimal plan in a single pass.

Yes, but gradually. E.g. the change from fine dining to more casual fine dining (even the officially non-casual fine dining became more casual and less stuffy). Since the 80s, complexity and affinity to exotics also went down, local and sustainable became trends. Insects and hay are extreme indicators of that. Around 20 years ago, vegetarian dining also became a (still rare) option. 10 years ago there was a short hype around molecular cuisine.

I think the big changes happen in terms of generations of chefs and guests, so around a 30year timeline. Caveat: everything is just my observation, no statistics or anything to prove it.
>With "money" I meant FED money. I did not count IOUs from banks as money.

That's not a reasonable take (in the context of the question). Controlling reserve rates controls the money supply, and the money supply is relevant when it comes to the level of inflation in the economy. What you're referencing is the 'monetary base'. (which is actually only a relatively small fraction of money in circulation).

there definitely a fad cycle , however i think it's also due to the fact that when exploring a problem we often try the simple approach first, up until we reach the limits of that approach, then move to a more complete one.

I don't think we'll ever get back to modelling purely with strict trees of concepts, because this is simply not how things are in the real world.
Yes... That's one of the things that concerns me also me about canned sardines. Even if it says "olive oil" I have a feeling that it's a pretty low quality one in most cases and definitely not EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) which is the good stuff.

Probably, but sardines are way cheaper and a lot easier to store. Also they're at the bottom of the food chain and so less heavy metals, and there are a lot more of them in the ocean and are in abundance. I've been a long time sardine advocate for a fatty fish instead of tuna or salmon, nice to see I have some reasons now to support it.

> When folks say "forest", like "I'm going to go hiking in the forest", they usually don't specify what species or genus of tree.

well, no, because there aren’t usually multiple forests that could be meant that would be disambiguated to a single forest (warranting the definite article) by genus of trees, there is either one candidate (requiring no qualification) or multiple but needing some other qualification (like specific name of the forest or direction from the current location.)

I haven't read the rest of the thread, but the article is even wronger than the glib replies there. HTML needn't be well formed. There are adhoc rules which let major browsers parse broken HTML. If you do not follow the spec to the letter you will have your tooling break on input that every browser thinks is acceptable.

Which is why you always use whatever html parsing library comes with your language. There is no simple answer in the thread because there is no simple answer in the real world.

Generally in Physics we eventually reach some kind of consensus on the most accurate theory, however as far as I can tell there are multiple competing theories of Quantum Gravity. Similar to how the interpretation of QM is unsolved because we haven't significantly justified a specific interpretation yet.

By "the wider Physics community" I mean Physicists in general having a general sense that the problem has been solved, for example a solid state physicist has some idea that the Standard Model is our most accurate theory of the three interactions it covers, even if they know nothing about the Standard Model. Eventually a theory of Quantum Gravity will reach that kind of recognition if we have some kind of experimental evidence or strong theoretical arguments regarding it. It is a question of marketing and broadcasting
For once this isn't entirely off-topic:

It's not a different debate at all. Because these arguments are really about living off the value of other people's labour.

Sometimes managerial/organisational ability is productive and creative, but in reality it's often piratical and exploitative.

It's much easier to get rich by limiting worker freedom and opportunity and herding workers towards a precarious existence than it is by creating genuine opportunities for enhanced collective wealth.

Do you want wealth to be a narcissistic signifier of being better than other people - and therefore wholly deserving of extra special treatment - or do you want to be an organiser and inventor who creates systems which give everyone (not just a small in-group) a helping hand up and makes the culture more creative, inventive, and interesting?
In this case you have to bring them back to reality once in a while (like: "This is what we are actually doing here"). Ofc there are gifted math geniuses which have no problem with everything being abstract, but for most people connecting what they learn to the world they live in is a prerequisite for maintaining at least a minimum level of interest for the topic. At school students are used to learning useless stuff without questioning it. They won't tell you if what you teach them is useless stuff they don't understand.

Going back to that simple explanation once people are a bit more experienced can make things click for a lot of people. Remaining people what they are dealing with and why can also help.

When ever I get to act as a filter on requirements from the business, I bust it out to tease out the root cause issues driving the solution. It's really good.

Essentially it boils down to asking Why as much as possible until you get to the original problem. From there the problem can be put in the backlog to be solved by the devs rather than the precooked solution.

Try that regex on

< script> console.log("<script2>"); </script>

Edit 1: I'm unsure if the inner <script2> is valid (X)HTML, so it might not be an issue of being unable to parse correct (X)HTML, but rather an issue of being unable to detect invalid (X)HTML. (Can someone verify?)

Edit 2: It seems Chrome chokes on the space... does anyone know if the initial space is valid? I'm pretty sure I've seen parsers that accept it...
I definitely would like an English translation. Though, from what I understand (the diagram and the translation of the title) it's a graphic input device that can work out a few points at the time, and not in the same sphere (as echos will overlap, a point I develop in my article).
