https://throttlehq.com provides a service similar to what you're looking for. The free tier forwards daily "digests", but the paid tier will do direct forwarding using your own dom…

It seems to me like you and the author agree about what good OOP should be (encapsulated state, message passing), except they argue that "traditional" OOP is not useful, and you se…

> Why can't we just be honest about it? "Welp, this is what we've got. We shouldn't be surprised, since this is what happens when we design by committee. Now let's make the best of…

We've tried node.js as a managed VM a few times before this. One of the biggest pains is logging. Despite documentation implying that JSON logs are supported (can't find this anymo…

There is a very real problem here, and you don't have to search hard for it. An entire sub-population of this country was disproportionately sentenced to felony convictions. If we …

I read the entire article. The man was duly convicted of a crime in Oklahoma. He broke the law, regardless of what anyone thinks. Fast forward to when black people owning property …

The double defection outcome is undesirable because they each serve 2 years. The double collusion outcome is desirable because they each serve 1 year. The other two options are mor…

> If this were true, then taxes would need not be compulsory, as it would be in an individual's best interest to pay them. In the prisoners dilemma, it is in both prisoners' best i…

I think you misread the parent. They were saying that specifically family care is foisted on women (more often). In just the previous sentence they assert that men face an equal bu…

You seem to be out of date. npm 3 uses a flat directory structure, only nesting dependencies when there are two different versions. That misinformation aside, all package managers …

I've loved using 1Password for Mac, and the Android app is pretty nice too. Unfortunately, 1Password for Windows has always lagged way behind. I wish it got some more attention, be…

Something like http://rollupjs.org which statically analyzes your ES6 dependency graph and creates a bundle with only the parts you need. The author included an image that rips at …

This article mostly seems to be saying "my problems don't require your solutions". So don't use them. We all know jQuery still works. A more charitable reading would be "don't use …

A very important one I can see is that Blade targets back to Java 6, whereas Spark only targets Java 8. This makes it available on slow moving platforms like Google App Engine.

If you need to make 30 million function calls per second, the ES5 counterparts aren't off limits. I hear the performance argument against early ES6 adoption from time to time. But …

It wasn't just a "guy". Both the reporter and the closer are project members and committers of an open source project. pkasting could have at least provided some reasons why the fe…

NPM 2 was and is not broken. There are ~200,000 packages on the NPM registry, and ~2,700,000,00 downloads in the last month. In the past four years it has done wonderful things for…

I was surprised. I had no idea typewriters were still in use, or at least in enough use to be sold new.

Sounds like a lot of the complaints are from trackpad users. I guess the site developers were too lazy to test on more devices than their dev stations.

What infuriated you about it? It isn't a smooth scroll, sure, but it suits the content. I get much more annoyed by sites that try maintain smooth scrolling while still presenting "…

I live in the Detroit Metro area, and despite the way the article was titled, the 100Gb and 10Gb service doesn't seem like the main announcement to me. I would love to get 1Gb/s fo…

Agreed. I couldn't even scroll with my mouse wheel...I had to click and drag the bar. Chrome 46.0.2490.86 on Windows 7.

Each of the distinct structures in video, each coronal loop or ejection, is many, many times larger than Earth. It is such a mind-boggling amount of energy. What a beautiful video.…
