What about slightly Chinese users? Are they immune to the malware?

If you're really Steven Sinofski, pretty damn amazing to see you on hn. Watching you introduce Windows 8 at build two years back, I couldn't have ever imagined seeing you post on h…

I think there's a page or two that describes what the jsx transformer does(which is it converts them to React.DOM elements IIRC). I think that's where I learnt that you could use r…

I don't know. Being the head of the largest mobile operating system(that's still growing) alone should be a big enough incentive to stay.

It's not so remarkable considering the IITs aren't a single university. They are dispersed across all of India which is a fairly large country geographically. Also the fact these t…

Not to mention, it's much simpler than Angular. You can get upto speed with React in 2 or 3 days. Once you make the shift to specifying single states for your interactions and lett…

Alan watts' writing is exemplary. The thing I like about his writing is that it's written with an outsider's perspective and critical thinking is never discarded unlike most other …

They're either related to Jetbrains in some way or really lack creativity or maybe they're trying to unduly profit off the good reputation Jetbrains generally has in the community.…

While that is true, why would you assume that the poster bought the phone for that reason? He might have bought the phone for any number of reasons such as the low price, decent sp…
