I agree that having a "can't modify this object" via this reference is useful and that JavaScript doesn't have it. TypeScript has it with `ReadOnly ` It could be worse. You could b…

I suspect they spent several millions of dollars a year and at least 20-30 people if not more and I think you don't have any idea of how hard the problem is and how it's getting ha…

Of course, why not?

How about reframing to "Is spam getting harder to filter?" No one at google wants spam.

> That brings me to something I really want in JS, actual unmutable values. If you use `const x = new SomeClass()`, you cannot reassign it, but you can change fields. The first tim…

and yet looking through code from the place you work I see something like this let field = ve.instanceContext.replace(/(#\/)|(#)/ig, "").replace(/\//g, ".") Which you apparently cl…

I agree that (1) named intermediate values are sometimes more readable ... though I have examples where it's very hard to come up with names and not sure it helped (2) debugging is…

I don't consider ASCII simple because it needs to be parsed (more than a binary format). As sample example, a binary format could be as simple as struct Header { uint32 width; uint…

I had my car stolen from an apartment complex garage in like 1991. Sure it sucks to have my car stolen but the only irreplaceable thing was 36 mix tapes that were in the car. Guess…

I forgot where I heard this but "It's impossible to remember what it was like not to know something". This generally means all kinds of things are obvious to someone that knows a t…

For me Spotlight fails constantly. I don't know what's tripping it up but programs I use often it randomly decides "today I'm not going to find those for you". I have it set to onl…

Honestly, I don't consider PNG a simple format. The CRC and the compression are non-trivial. If you're using a new language that doesn't have those features built in and/or you don…

1000 square feet is only small in the USA. 1000 sqft is the average size of a home in Japan. 50% are smaller. There's plenty of creative ways to use 1000 sqft

I believe the reason there's no if/else is because CSS is supposed to be easy enough to interpret relatively quickly (in a finite amount of time). The moment you add if/else you'd …

Yes, I did consider that. That's exactly my point. He stated he hates (A) and likes (B). I suggested that hating (A) is a poor POV. It would be better to like both (A) and (B) even…

He did call it crap or did you miss it? In so many words he said cities suck, nature rocks. Vs me, who said both nature and cities rock, and that the attitude that one sucks is a p…

They have opinions. One is nature rules. The other is the city sucks. I think their opinion of that the city sucks is wrong, full stop, and that a change in attitude would see all …

Hey, if being in nature makes you happy good for you but your outlook on the rest is kind of crap. Me, best time in my life, commuting in Tokyo to my jobs working on a project I lo…

how is that different than any other POST endpoint?

Is it true there are plenty of places in the world that don't have an epidemic of obesity? My belief is Japan doesn't have as much of an obesity problem. Sure, I'd love a drug that…

Correct, but the form itself was always a fixed layout, designed for desktop, not a responsive layout where things changed based on the size of the user's display and the input met…

Name any apartment complex on a quiet street in SF that's not in Mission Bay that's been built in the last 15 years

AirBnB sux but zoning has arguably been a net negative on most societies in many ways https://youtu.be/bnKIVX968PQ https://youtu.be/CCOdQsZa15o for me what I noticed lately is that…

They removed all of mine as well. Stayed around 24 places, half had issues, 3-4 were bad issues and left a bad review. AirBnb removed them
