Not sure if it helps much. It still looks like the same clickbaity garbage that's in my regular trending tab.

Honestly I'd much rather have some configurable yaml than some obscure app in the middle of your cluster that reads CRDs when what you're doing is just adding a side car. At least …

Crypto still just means hidden or secret though. Both sides here probably ought to increase their specificity by one level. Interestingly, r/crypto is the cryptography subreddit an…

You can get it much of the way there by tweaking `~/.inputrc` "\e[A": history-search-backward # Up key "\e[B": history-search-forward # Down key. Allows you to get press up while y…

Managing node with package managers feels like a a bit of a fools errand at the moment. They are going to be wrapping npm somehow, but when npm can't even do things right..

This is cool. A few funny ones I found: ExampleTester Commanater java-cruft Generatter the-git

Damn that Fermat margin.

Is there really any benefit to this over explicit child process calls? I realize the syntax is shorter, but now you're hiding the fact that you are shelling out. Overloading requir…

There are also 3 gotos in that function.

I would totally install a sublime plugin or something like that for this.

Yeah, got that too. Maybe time to go to bed.

Biggest problem is also its greatest benefit. If everything CAN access anything, everything WILL eventually access anything. Without any barriers, it's way too easy for things to d…

Nitpick, on the nothing can save me there part. This is arguably a failure of `your-class`'s API. A file exposing a class SHOULD either wrap it: `module.exports = function () { ret…

Alternatively, put this in your code tomorrow to pre-empt all the April 1st bastards: Object.freeze(console) Or safe JS up entirely: https://gist.github.com/clux/3823024

Managed a 4096 piece (more than I've done on normal 2048). Unfortunately, the 4096 background is the same as 1024 (derp). Here is a picture of my layout before it collapsed into a …

Asynchronicity isn't an optimization, it's a simplification. Blocking code and threads are hard to reason about, but callbacks are simple. You still have to deal with errors in a s…

I did use cabal-dev, and it only moved the problem from being a global problem to a local one. Is the problem that you cannot have several versions of the same package solved? Beca…

What's not to like? Cabal, which unsurprisingly is not mentioned. Dependency hell makes it stupidly difficult to rely on other people's code on a large scale. I'd rather write ugli…

I am sure this is good, but just how much it pulls down to do something basic is ridiculous: $ yo webapp $ npm ls | wc -l 240

The default lexicographical sort order on an array of integers is unexpected, yes.

Ad hominems generally are nothing else..

There's plenty of ways to make a difference in the world without having a job that is immediately altruistic. http://80000hours.org/career-advice has a lot of good information alon…
