LOL, not even close.


What a b_ll_x reply to a sensible comment.

Mate, the personal website url you list in your HN profile don't work.

Funny that this is about frontend.


Backdoors.


Funny how the "final feature set for 2018" is nailed near enough Feb 2018.

Call me stupid, when I'll get whiteboard tested on these shiny new concepts, but I really don't (and you shouldn't also) give a rats ass about all of this.


"In his novels Dick was interested in seeing how people react when their reality starts to break down. A world in which the real commingles with the fake, so that no one can tell where the one ends and the other begins, is ripe for paranoia."

Reminds me of the recent Hawaii false missile alert.

What does this have to do with the comment you replied to?


A complaint about marketing ("get us to buy more"), on an article about always-on audio processing in a phone, implies a concern about privacy-invading user tracking. I was pointing out that (on the face of it, at least) this doesn't seem to do that.


I've been exposed to decorators (starting with Java) and have 'gotten' them and I will proudly admit that I despise decorators and don't think they are great at all.


Like many language features, they can be extremely useful and can significantly improve code clarity.

They can also be abused in such ways that clarity is actually destroyed.


Just hate them? Did they steal yoUr lunch money? Or is there something more specific you hate about them?


Mate, you've got some broken images on your homepage.


Thank you for the heads up! Will fix when I get home


The Enterprise was a British dream 80s computer that most people could not afford.
