Same problem as Twitter/Facebook: little to no barrier to entry, endless bots and politically motivated low-value posters.
You know those isolated tribes throwing spears at helicopters? You're them.
The Putinbots - they're HEEEEERE!
Except that they don't.
Account identity and authentication being outsourced to Facebook means your community maintainers don't get to notice the fact that those 100 MAGA-spouting dimwits are from Romania. They don't get that information in the first place.
Let's revisit this in 2020. I have a strange feeling that React will still be heavily used (though maybe encroached by some future framework, you are correct about the changing landscape!) with Angular still trying to follow the leader.
I appreciate your attempt, but we don't need any more astronaut-architects. We have the tools.
It's 2017 and high time for JavaScript tooling to finally slow down a bit and settle into its bigger britches.
Another "timely" delayed FUD release from WikiLeaks.
Administrators and community moderation who pay attention to their own access logs rather than ambiguous Facebook Review Teams who look the other way.
If you're taking this personally, you're not going to develop personally from the critical engagement. Remove your ego from the discussion.
Sorry to tire you, snowflake.
The humblest of nicknames!
I cannot wait to allow a bazillion fake Twitter and FB accounts from the Eastern Bloc countries to pour into my website and bigly MAGA. Thanks, social sign-on!
The words "think tank" bring to mind a gigantic behemoth with treads, rolling forward inexorably to trample and destroy thought.
The real world has yet to offer up a counterexample to my childish whimsy.
Nobody under 40 knows how to use it, or WANTS to use it? Doesn't take much experience to dink through a few tutorials on yet another GUI paradigm.
To borrow from the article, it sounds like you experienced another "TED talk on a recursive loop."
Opinion: the industry doesn't equate with reality. Pointy-haired MBAs with some PHP background would tell you otherwise, but there's a whole wide world out there.
Speed isn't everything. How permissive is the parser? We look for a compromise here.
Found the guy for whom C was too intimidating!
Very glad they're supporting 2.7! Hope we'll stick with it for a while yet.
3.x derailed that language :(
Start-up managers don't want a "master carpenter."
They want a replaceable journeyman who smacks a few nails and strings together a few prefabricated solutions.
There are pros and cons. And, as for stools, well, these journeymen "coders" have polluted GitHub with quite a lot of stool.
Amen. "Everybody can code" is toxic thinking. If you can't chisel down a problem without importing half of NPM and a sprawling tour of GitHub/StackOverflow, then you are part of the problem.
Yes, ha, I was just taking the piss. It's an old Slashdot trope to declare things dead by Netcraft survey.
It is official; Netcraft confirms: Python 2.7 is officially dead.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Python 2.7 community when josteink confirmed that he would not be bothering to touch anything older than Python 3 code.
All major surveys show that Python 2.7 has steadily declined in market share. 2.7 packages are very sick and their long term survival prospects are very dim. If legacy Python is to survive at all it will be among trolling dilettante dabblers. 2.7 continue to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Python 2.7 is dead.
FACT: Python 2.7 is dying.
I stopped using it just to throw a wrench in your gears.
Grind this thing to a halt!
(...no, actually Elixir is pretty cool.)
To what extent do you promise your customers that their clients' data will be both well secured and remain private?
Providing a middleman with this kind of information is a little too much trust for me to think in terms of cents per action.
Spying-as-a-Service, haha!
