This one is a metaphor for life on earth, endlessly going in circles with no way to get off or go somewhere else.

Amazing that 50% of people are nihilistic enough to just blow it up.

Is this work you're collaborating on together (as peers) or work you're supervising? Are you in any sort of relationship where you could be considered to be 'mentoring' the developer?

When collaborating, I like to provide my feedback in a way that allows the person to provide their own perspective.

"What do you think about moving this to a separate function so that we can keep each functions in the class small and focused on one specific purpose?"

When supervising you of course want to allow two-way-communication but you can be more direct, but make sure to use the correction as a teaching moment.

"Please move this block to a separate function so that we keep the functions in the class small and focused on their one specific purpose. See abc.js and xyz.js for good examples of classes that follow this pattern."

Thanks so much for the 'skip this flamewar button' aka the collapse button.

Siri almost certainly already knows all of those things. :)

In chrome://extensions there is an option that lets you give chrome extension to content served from the file:// protocol - maybe that's what you need?

You's think it would've been Agassi that had the issue with Coke.

Most hotels will do the same thing FWIW.

Off-topic: Why do people use lodash over underscore.js?

This looks like a ton of fun. Think a bright 3-year-old could play or should I wait a year?

Perhaps a Stupid Question: If Ebola is a virus, does that mean this man is permanently inoculated against it if he happens to survive?

Wow do you have a citation for that? Because that's utterly terrifying.

It's worth pointing out that Miley Cyrus didn't exactly invent this model. The old saying is "there's no such thing as bad publicity". The first example that came to my mind is Madonna who always seems to do something "stupid" and "crazy" every couple years that reminds people she exists and keeps her in the public eye.

React is not meant to replace something like Backbone, it is only the 'V' in MVC although you could argue it is also the C.

React does not ship with any code for saving your data to the server.

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem correctly, but I simply had the child components 'know' their index or id (stored in props) and then pass that to the parent with any call.

I found this curious as well. Hockey has by far the most rudimentary statistics out of the 4 major North American sports plus Soccer and yet even the hockey stats community has the ability to show how well a team does with a given player on the ice vs. without.

"Being the canadian army, they don't give medals" - could you clarify that?

I would love to see Apache Thrift added to this comparison.

“I knew this was going to be a huge app. I knew it because my sister liked it before it even existed.”

Must be wonderful to have a validated idea fall in your lap like that!

This thread is full of people nit-picking design concerns with this open source resource, however the actual content in this seems to be top-notch!

The worst is "Tell your boss that the way you're doing it is wrong and you should use an ORM"

"Last summer he received a Sony Ericsson from a catholic priest in the tenderloin and was placed on her family plan."

I'm really having a hard time parsing this sentence... what's a tenderloin? Who is 'her'?

Yes and there is a slight formatting bug where it appears "What a douche you are" is in reply to "Would Neel Mehta be ineligible collecting via his employment at Google?"

I chuckled to myself at this bit because it's the type of productive-but-utlimately-unnecessary task I'd find myself doing if I were trying to write a book.

Not trying to be a downer, that's an impressive streak and I hope your book does well!

I haven't heard about a Google office in Windsor but I know there is one in Waterloo.

"MIT discovers a new syntactic feature to PHP"

Those are incredible.

That is an incredible idea.

What exactly am I looking at here?

It just mocks whatever you put in and suggests something else?

Or will it actually express approval if you put in something 'good'?

Everyone woman I know uses Pinterest. I get that it's popular and a big deal.

It's still legitimate to question whether or not a company with no revenue is worth $3.8 billion.

It's a great book. I'm not a gamer and was only mildly familiar with the majority of the games mentioned in the book but I'd highly recommend it to anyone who finds HN interesting.
