democrats have given up on gun control. you'll notice Obama didn't really grab any of them

It doesn't work. Look at Obama's infamous, "cling to guns and religion." Do you know what point he was making? He was trying to explain to those of us with good jobs on the coast that middle america had been passed over and ignored by previous administrations.

Why would any politician ever extend an olive branch again when it is just used as a -- very effective -- weapon against them?

lol. time to fire my fact-checker

I'm one of the few people I know who is an enthusiastic supporter of Hillary. I like her because of her track record on children's issues, 9-11 and the Iran deal (among others). I'm also conservative so I like that the last time she lived at 1400 Pensilvania Ave the government was running a surplus.

For me it underscores one simple rule: you backups are useless if you don't regularly practice restoring from them.

How would you feel if a fellow developer left in the circumstances described?

  Jealous. I would want to leave too and would be pissed that I hadn't found a new job yet.

If you were a dev manager or hired this developer, how would you feel about them leaving in the circumstances described?

  Incompetent. I've already lost this developer due to lack of management skills. Seeing them leave in these circumstances would just underline that good people quit bad managers. I'd be scared that I'd get fired next.

I think you can absolutely diagnose an hour-long daily standup as "wrong". Standups need to be limited to 10-15 minutes. That's one of the key tenants of standups: they need to be short and focused.

I think this is a great point. Expecting companies not to act in their own best interest is foolish. It's also foolish to expect our elected officials to act in the citizens' best interest rather than for their donors. Instead, let's make net Neutrality the only option so we can focus on technical challenges.

It's impossible to prove a contra positive so we'll never know if it was Comey, or the Russians or what that put him over the top. But, Trump did get himself within striking distance. So, I give him credit(?) for the birther movement, and Mexican rapists, and no puppet. Because those are the things that energized his base to the point where he could win with a little help from his friends.

The economist had an interesting write up of this past election. The found the single biggest determinant for how a county would vote was how sick that county was.

I can't even see how that would be correlated with the news.

There are plenty of debates in science. The debate over gravity would have been a good example because you had serious people in both sides of the debate and something approaching the truth came to be the consensus.

There is not a similar debate about climate change.

I honestly think politicians have stopped using email. This leak was so inconvenient that it has changed behaviors.

I think the discussion of sources will be very interesting. There is a strong national interest in restoring faith in our electoral process. This is why so many were appalled at certain accusations that the election was "rigged".

Let's keep the discussion to the technical aspects of the attack. The democrat vs republican antagonism doesn't belong on hacker news.

This is such a great project :+1: for putting it together

Where were you on my code review :) Great suggestion.

But, that's kinda my point. You shouldn't need the { for a one line function.

also, I tried the solution you gave and it doesn't work :(

My biggest accomplishment is that I did quit mine :)

I had to take a vacation to interview full time. That finally did the trick and got me the offer that let me jump ship. Also, practice not shitting on your current company. It's really hard to dial in the story about why your leaving without making yourself sound disgruntled.

Check out the webpack style loader if you don't want to go full inline with the styles. We had to monkey patch Module.prototype.require to get mocha happy with "requiring" sass files but it was only half a days work. Now, styles don't leak outside of the component we want them in. Stylesheets are absolutely my least favorite part of development and having one stylesheet per component actually makes it tractable for me.

You know what's weird, I don't like the arrow functions in es6. And, I'm a coffeescript guy. I just don't like that the syntax is conditional on so many different things. The number of parameters, line length, etc...

I just wrote this function and used `function` rather than `=>` because I couldn't get the syntax right using an arrow function:

    const showTable = ["email", "phone", "website"].reduce(
      function (previous, channel) { return previous || !!institution[channel] && !/^\s*$/.test(institution[channel]); },
      false
    );

Of course, the inconsistencies are what I don't like about js in general.

Are you comparing node to C or Go or something else?

It's funny, my big a-ha moment on performance happened when I was working at a bank and could only code in vba (i.e. excel). All of a sudden -- even on small data sets -- O(n^2) was unacceptable and I needed to think about algorithms to get to O(nlgn).

I thought about making the same comment but then figured I was just being salty because my 2016 was a failure :(

lulz, you should assume the NSA has access to anything you store in the "cloud".

I'm sure the journalist would have used a burner phone if he were traveling to China or North Korea. He just needs to understand that the United States of America has a similar view of his human rights.

How would he have harmed himself or others after the police had his hands zip tied?

Can we admit that we hope wasm kills JavaScript yet?

I've worked on 2 production Ember apps. The first was a nightmare because there were 2 way bindings and the team that built it didn't know how to use the router.

The second was a dream because we built it after a couple of years dealign with the fallout from a bad ember app (plus "data down - actions up" was now the prescription).

Ember can be really nice if you follow the happy path.

I feel like the Ember learning curve is a lie these days. The documentation is so good that you really shouldn't have trouble with _Ember_. But, SPA's have a learning curve that you might not realize if you just create one React component.

It's not cheaper for your employer. Your employer will typically cover some of the cost of health care then leave the rest for you to cover. When you leave a job, you have to pay both the premium you've been paying plus the premium your former employer had been paying. COBRA is not a free lunch. It just means you're allowed to order off of the same menu as your former employer.

Call me old fashioned but I blame people for being stupid rather than technology.
