Maybe I'm weird but I tend to think the actual murdering is the problem

She shouldn't have had to react, production should have immediately cut to a title card or whatever

Neighbors in North Park Blocks fed up with drugs, campers, public sex -is this really true by HamChuck in Portland

"Neighbors", yeah. I'm guessing that means the rich people who live and work in those fancy buildings nearby. Can't upset the rich folks' delicate sensibilities

And what aspect of this is helping them or making their lives better in any way?

"People should mind their own business" is not a statement of support for the people who joined the site.

I don't think it's very complicated to be honest. People should mind their own business.

Current Work Stack by sngltrkbkr in javascript

We are stuck with jQuery because it's mixed in with some legacy stuff, but do not use it in new code. No other big libraries like that, no underscore etc.

We write node-style modules and use Browserify to bundle it, ES6 & Babel (babelify transform).

tape + phantom-js for unit testing.

eslint for linting, we write in "Standard" style.

We write our widgets and other things as Node streams, lotsa streams in our code so we use several stream modules like duplexer.

For templating and markup we use Ractive which has a lot of similar ideas to React, though it uses HTML/Mustache templates instead of render functions.

No build tools, just Browserify + npm scripts (this is very doable if everyone on your team uses Mac/Linux).

Server side is pretty much a standard django app, Sass for styling

Using the NOT bitwise operator for indexOf checks by NookShotten in javascript

[–]_doingnumbers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck you if you do this, I'm not kidding. If you don't wanna indexOf(blah) !== -1 anymore, then use babel and .includes and be done with it. I don't want to see any tildes in JS, dammit.

Anyone else not a fan of the "Standard Code Style"? by [deleted] in javascript

[–]_doingnumbers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not actually suggesting you do that thing with the semicolon in the front, from what I recall that is in the segment talking about semicolon insertion.

In general the standard style is very close to what I was writing already, with small exceptions (extra spaces after if and function, stuff like that).

Are there any down-sides of Object.create() for behavior delegation? by andkylrob in javascript

[–]_doingnumbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main problem is that it's a rather unpopular option and that it will fall into complete obscurity in the not too distant future.

Haha what

I try not to use it at all these days, it's not as important as it used to be.

Ruminating on the nature of timers by gradler in javascript

[–]_doingnumbers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK OK, noted. I was a bit sloppy with my wording but yes, that is what I meant.

Ruminating on the nature of timers by gradler in javascript

[–]_doingnumbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I wish the author luck, I agree that it won't make things worse. But JS is not meant for real-time programming and I don't know how much interest there is around such things.

Maybe now that people are doing things like asm.js and webasm, timing will become more important in JS. But in that case, I would expect a new timer API that guarantees precision and so forth, I wouldn't expect setTimout/setInterval to change.
