That's a pretty apt comparison I'd say. However, with JavaScript you have to avoid the old/outdated language constructs, and some warts need to remain, since browsers still need to…

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at (perhaps the fact that it mutates the original string, similar to `Array.prototype.splice()`) ... but I can say it's never gotten in my…

I didn't know about the do BLOCK syntax that's (possibly) coming, that's interesting, thanks for bringing that up. Regarding your last comment about Ruby and Python. I've been thin…

Considering how much I like TypeScript, kotlin-js sounds tempting based on your comment, but unfortunately it's a no-go for me the because I use React heavily, and the solutions I'…

You bring up a good point, but as you know, there's a certain amount of intuitive knowledge that gets carried over when learning another programming language (which is why it's muc…

Why don’t these rules apply to banking apps then? I wouldn’t consider them business-only as most individuals interacting with the App Store have bank accounts, so that argument bre…

I agree, but the keyboard is what gets me the most. I can get used to the feel, but it is simply too unreliable for a $2k computer. A spec of dust can bring it down for crying out …

I have a 2016 MBP with TouchBar and I'm mostly happy with it. I love the quality of the screen, its the brightness, and the overall performance of the computer, and I honestly pref…

Take your tech and build your own game with it, using original graphics sounds, levels, etc. of course. Might as well put your hard work to good use! I loved the old Zeldas and wou…

I tried the TextMate 2 beta, and while it is nice, there's still some rough edges. For example, I had to go in and set a variable and edit a config file to enable soft tabs. Also, …

Why can’t the “future” be one with both web apps and native apps? (e.g. like how it is now) They both have their up-sides and down-sides, but which is best usually depends on the c…
