Is Reddit still run to be profitable? It always seems like it fits more with a wikipedia type model of donations etc.

Sure, the law is ridiculous though. It'd be like trying to make it illegal for a shop assistant to remember you shopped there last thursday. It's completely unenforceable.

8 years isn't the long term. Sorry if this wasn't obvious.

It's pretty easy for the very small minority of people who don't want cookies to disable them in their browser. Also it's pretty easy for any website that wants to track you, to tr…

If you are in the UK, please vote to withdraw from the EU. This sort of meddling into every minute detail of our lives is only going to get worse. (See also banning vacuum cleaners…

Property will always increase over the long term. Unless you're moving every 6 months this isn't a good reason. Of course selling your house and buying a new one will take a few mo…

Think about what would happen if you typo a single character in each example. If you miswrite "function" as "fnuction", you'll easily, quickly find out. If you miswrite => as >= it…

a=>b =b Can you not see the typos possible with this? The less characters you use for something, the more error prone. There's a reason we don't write in regular expression syntax.…

If you're writing a few thousand functions, you're doing something very wrong. It's like when languages make threads easy to create - and then programmers go away and use threads f…

shrug it's still just code. It still does exactly the same thing as previous javascript code. Syntax changes are pretty boring IMHO, and as I said personally, I find this one much …

So basically, a useless hipster fashion lead fluffy syntax change, which mainly makes code harder to read, and makes typos more common. // foo takes a function, and a boolean. // f…

I don't think you quite understand. With a conventional taxi company, if something bad happens, you deal with the taxi company, get compensation, etc etc With Uber, they wash their…

Well clearly "function" is "better", because it's less prone to typos, easier to read, and makes more sense. But if you can make a good argument to go with "functiooooooooooooooooo…

This isn't the core language changing though. This is people who are new to javascript coming to it and deciding they all must write their "hello world" framework / extension. Most…

Isn't everything available on youtube for free these days? Or radio etc. I can't imagine paying for music. Unless it's an extremely rare CD I can't find anywhere else.

don't forget these startup guys are literally saving the world one webapp at a time. It's serious stuff.

Because once you introduce threads, your program complexity increases massively. You're now throwing a few groups of instructions at the CPU and saying "Hay! Execute these instruct…

Javascript is not an operating system. There aren't many operations in javascript which will block. The only real issue is that your javascript code executes in the same thread as …

I'd bet using setTimeout with a 0ms delay every loop wouldn't slow the example down significantly, and would have the desired effect of making the UI responsive.

Yes it does. I'm not convinced multithreading is something that should be encouraged within javascript personally.

It's trivial to periodically pass control back to the UI with setTimeout or setInterval. So doing something that takes 8s doesn't have to block the UI at all. The "without webworke…

how much do they pay WhatsApp each month?

It generally means that at any moment, you can be hellbanned and not know about it. If you're overly critical of something, you might be banned. If you offer a contrary viewpoint, …

It gets even worse if you look at colour trademarking. eg Cadbury "own" the colour purple when it comes to chocolate. Orange also have a trademark on using the colour orange when o…
