Some people don't understand that they don't need to spend 3000$ in the bike they use to commute. Mine costed me 10.000yen (100$). It works quite OK, and if one day it is stolen or broken, I will not be really sad.

Ah, it also has a basket that is quite convenient when I go to the supermarket.

Maybe the article represents a bit of wishful thinking; but the fact that this is the most up-voted comment is also quite revealing.

I understand that 99% doesn't mean that 1% of the objects will be always unaccesible. Instead, I guess that they mean is that they allow themselves to have up to 80 hours a year of downtime for any bucket.

> but that's not exactly 100% better, just weird to a different subset of people

Lol!

Now I understand. Thank you!

> I think, personally, I'd've called the initial class ScoreGuts or something

Well, maybe the point is that the original class becomes "useless" once it has been "decorated"; so it doesn't make sense that it has its own name. But it's is also true that, once you get used to program using FP style, mutating variables like this feels "weird".

Thank you very much for the explanation!

I was confused because I didn't realize that, actually, a class in ES6 is just a variable. Also, I am not used to the decorator pattern. Now it makes sense.

Reading the post, I understand that, at first, the branch manager was quite unhappy about that. But then, obviously, they checked with the HQ and they received the order to be smooth with the guy because they understood that he was going to give publicity.

I lived in London for a couple of years... And I wouldn't dare to say that water scarcity is a big problem there. I saw the Sun a couple of times though.

Edit: Sorry to the Londoner that down-voted my comment. I didn't mean to be rude to you, guys.

This is unsettling:

  class Score extends React.Component {
    render() {
      var {initials, score} = this.props.score;
      return (
        <li key={initials}>
          <strong>{initials}</strong> {score}
        </li>
      );
    }
  }
  Score = Relay.createContainer(Score, {
    fragments: {
      score: () => Relay.QL`
        fragment on Score {
          initials,
          score,
        }
      `,
    },
  });

Soo, if I understood well, first they create a class and then they create a global variable reusing the same name of the class, in order to create and object that expands the class?

This Facebook people know how to make me uncomfortable. But I guess I could get used, the same way I got used to JSX...

The Spanish new High Speed train infrastructure is, except for the line that connects Madrid and Barcelona, a massive nonsense that has been build only for political reasons. Spain has more km of high speed lines that Japan, but some of the lines have only tens of passengers per day!

It is an economical calamity, for a country already in a deep crisis, that the taxpayers will have to pay during decades.

The AVE is an example of how infrastructures should never be planned and deployed.

They absolutely do. And they always ask you where do you live when you are applying for a job.

Obviously, this is not the most important point to decide whether they hire you or not, but the price of the commuting fee can make them choose between two similar candidates. Specially for low paying jobs.

It is just a matter of legislation. You cannot expect "good will" from a company because this is not how capitalism works.

And even if I think that it is right that laws allow companies to fire people when they need it, it should never be easy or cheap. Being able to fire at will makes a nation of slaves that must always obey their employers unless they want to risk themselves to loose everything.

It would be also nice if HK incorporated a filter, so people can choose if they want to see posts to paywalled articles or not.

In my opinion, HN should be a place where people discuss about articles that are freely accessible to everyone.

Articles from sites that are accessible to a limited group of people have no place here. Instead, they should be discussed in the comments of the article itself.

AFAIK, Romans built their cities with streets following the N-S and E-W axes (Cardus and Decumanus) but, after, no medieval city continued with this style. Specially, in walled cities, the streets were appearing in a chaotic way.

My home city is Barcelona where, actually, a big part is designed as an orthogonal grid.... but it's still not the same. I think I would have enjoyed the game more if I knew how my cities were supposed to look like.

I plaid a lot to SimCity when I was a kid but, having been raised in a European city, I always thought that my cities in the game could never look like a "real" city.

About 15 years after, I found myself in a plane about to land in LA for the first time, with my face pressed to the window and thinking to myself: "LA is like the f* SimCity!!"

One of the first things they told me on my first day as an operator in the data-center of a big phone company was: "Remember, in Unix it is not Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V but Ctrl + Insert, Shift + Insert".

One night, in my second week there, I saw some errors on the console coming from a billing process that was running since a couple of days before. I called the on-call engineer in charge of that process and he asked me if I could copy-paste the errors and email them to him...

That month, about 2 million clients received the bills one day too late.

I think it is not a rm thing but a bash (or sh) thing. The rm command receives the parameter after the wildcards have been expanded.

Unix in the past was for the tough men...

You need quite more than just hard work to become a doctor.

That's the big fallacy of capitalism. Nobody buy books about the guys who took a risk and lost everything, but everybody buys books about the One Guy who became millionaire after being a drop out.

What you call "popular culture", is just propaganda to make people believe that if they don't became rich is their own fault.

> There are many occupations that really only require hard work and little risk that has big payout.

Such as?

In that case, the problem doesn't happen because we are minifying the files, but because this particular implementation of the minifier has a bug. I guess...

People minify js files because they can.

When you already have a pipeline like gulp or grub (and if you are developing JavaScript, you should), adding minification is just one more line of code. So, why not minify if it doesn't represent any effort and it could mean better performance? Also, usually, developers don't have access to the production webserver.

Most of the time, people are to busy to analyze all the pros and cons of every action they do.

Said that, if Debian is an open source OS, then yes, they should have access to the unminified code of the applications they include. Or, at least, the sourcemaps.

I love this analogy. SysAdmins need to have an special mindset that is diametrically opposite than these of the developers.

Developers want features and shiny things and following new trends and unicorns.

SysAdmins want 99.999%, and dependability and knowing that all the backups are running on time and writings contingency plans detailing how many minutes it will take to put a new infrastructure online in the event a fire occurring in the main data-center while the backup data-center is flooded because of a typhoon.

> World-class cuisine — ramen, sushi, yakitori, shabu shabu

This made me smile because, actually, ramen and yakitori (and sushi to some extend) are considered cheap fast food here.

If you have a degree in STEM, it is easy for a Japanese company to get a VISA for you.

But you need to find a company that is willing to sponsor you, and speaking Japanese is a requirement for most of them. I mean if is not impossible to find a tech job where only English is required, but you will have to compete with a lot of other candidates from different nationalities; whereas if you are bilingual and you have an acceptable CV, finding a job is extremely easy. In some cases, maybe even easier than for a Japanese who is monolingual.

Which ones?

> We repeated this little dance for about two full minutes and the car never made it past the middle of the intersection. The two guys inside were laughing and punching stuff into a laptop.

That's what I would call to have a great job.

> Incidentally, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, is a real health epidemic, and is preventable by putting your butt in a bike seat and riding a few miles every day.

Standing ovation.

I think this distribution would work with any physical activity. It is not just a cycling thing.

The reason is easy to understand: an accident that would cause only minor injuries on a 30 years old person may cause life threatening injuries on an elder person. Bones are weaker after certain age, and recovering from injuries is harder.
