It's so cluttered, it's giving me anxiety just looking at those photos. I keep a fairly clean desk, I don't think I could function well in that environment...

> I don't think most people run into this because most backend node programmers have moved to Go at this point

Comments like this are what make it difficult for me to take HN seriously anymore. It's just an example of the hivemind at work, assume that an entire industry has the same ideas as you about what technology to use.

The Node/JS ecosystems are experiencing a Cambrian explosion in technology, with all that implies. If you don't like it, don't worry. It probably won't take 20 million years this time to settle in on the "best" ways of doing things.

The advice in this post seems like it could undergo a minimal rewrite and apply even better to cult leaders.

Yahoo is moving to React as well.

As if the churn wasn't already bad enough, I've recently started using JSPM[1] and it's pretty awesome. I'm writing ES6+ code with hot reloading react components.

If you're trying to decide between build systems I would recommend checking it out, and watching this video[2] for a nice overview.

I agree, this post was pretty pointless and any relevance it has to Ellen Pao's situation is insubstantial.

There should really have to be a (paywall) warning added to the titles of posts like this.

I can't read it because of an obnoxious paywall.

There needs to be a better way to monetize written content online than this...

Scompany.

From "scalable company".

I was expecting to see a gold version for $10,000...

So are we going to be seeing just Windows 10 minor versions from now on? Maybe they could just shorten the name to WinOS 10, and in a year they can release WinOS 10.1.

Maybe the minor versions could all be named after something interesting, like different species of large cats, or Washington area landmarks?

WinOS 10.10 Rainier?

Now you're being old school. It's called ES2015 now! ;)

(edit: app I was using chopped my comment...)

This has happened to me several times. It's not nearly as rare as you think.

If rubbing and ah... friction accounted for a significant amount of weight loss, I'm sure I would be at a much healthier weight...

Have you looked at core.async in Clojure/ClojureScript?

I understand the reasoning behind curating a community to promote the kind of discourse users desire, but the type of self censorship that this comment promotes unsettles me.

I feel like the "negativity" that HN is so concerned about could be dealt with through down votes. The "gratuitous negativity" edict feels Orwellian, and I question its value vs unintended consequences.

If this had been posted 5 days ago, I would have been less surprised. It just seems like a lot of these new "startups" are formulated by first asking "what is a slight annoyance that upper/upper-middle class white people have? Can we commoditize it?"

Seriously, this is Poe's Law at work.

I've noticed that here in the US we say "is" when referring to a company or group, and in other English-speaking countries they say "are", like in the UK.

I like to joke that it's because here in America, corporations are people too, you know.

I'm hitting 30 this year and I can definitely relate to this. I feel like I'm in social network limbo, and nothing really caters to me.

The copy on the "Why static?" page has some typos ("an developer") and off-putting remarks ("Only God gets to mess with time").

This reeks of a solution in search of a problem.

Awesome, thanks. That should really be mentioned in the Quick Start and/or Tutorial in the docs. I think a lot of people would really appreciate that feature. :)

OP mentions you can enable auto refresh, instead of having to Command + R every time I assume. I couldn't find that info anywhere, does anyone know how to do that? I'm really used to that workflow now with Figwheel + Om.

The story of original settlers of this country being Puritans escaping persecution, while trite, had nothing to do with the men who actually wrote and signed the Constitution.

There is a particularly human egotism with respect to "saving" things that have outlived their usefulness and purpose, or preserving things that should be changing. If language can be viewed through its evolutionary purpose, these dying languages are simply experiments that did not pan out, and should be allowed to become extinct.

With React Native you write your apps in JavaScript, in a React.js style.

My understanding is that ComponentsKit has you write your iOS apps with ObjC/Swift or whatever, but it gives you a way of structuring your apps that is similar to React.js

I really want to believe this could become reality. But the past surrounding this issue, as well as seemingly widespread apathy about our loss of civil liberties, leaves me cynical.

Nearly every time I fly, I hear someone in the security line (which to me resembles a cattle chute) remarking that they're in fact glad for the inconvenience, as they somehow feel safer. Nearly every family member or friend with whom I discuss Edward Snowden's revelations and the vast injustice of what the NSA is doing couldn't care less.

I really don't have much hope for this bill. But I really wish I could believe in it as much as my younger self would have.

This has been posted about a hundred times already. Perhaps check the history before posting something old?

In Brazil, voting is mandatory. Yet, somehow, massively corrupt individuals get elected time and time again. Take a look at the massive scandal the current president is involved in (who has been cleared of any wrongdoing, go figure). The previous president who was from the same party was paying the congress a monthly stipend to pass his mandates. Somehow, with everybody in the population voting left and right with all their muster, another corrupt leader from the same party was voted in.

It's almost as if the total number of people voting in Brazil has nothing to do with the quality of the individuals running for office within their system...
