ESPN introduced a stat called real plus-minus in 2014, which adjusts for teammates and opponents. It also takes both offensive and defense plus-minus into account. The top two players in RPM this past season were Lebron James and Draymond Green, followed by Chris Paul and Steph Curry [1]. It was received with a lot of skepticism back when it was introduced, but that shouldn't surprise anyone.

The title should say _Anchor_.

Didn't this just happen?

I'd work on being more humble, and open-minded, especially considering your lack of experience. This is one of the more ridiculous posts I've read on HN.

Based on the link in his HN profile, I think he's referring to himself: $110/hr, 5,337 hours worked. Those are impressive numbers.

And for anyone who'd like to jump right in:

Includes Figwheel, and (optionally) Secretary.

I imagine you would trigger something like a datomic transaction, which returns a new version of the database.

Swannodette never disappoints. If you're interested in this approach, you should check out re-frame: https://github.com/Day8/re-frame. The README is a great resource, regardless of whether or not you intend to use the framework.

Filming sidelines was all they were punished for. But they almost certainly were filming opponents' practices, including the St. Lous Rams' "walkthrough practice prior to Super Bowl XXXVI"[1].

According to it, 46 companies are "dead", 52 are "exited" and 445 are "active".

Nice work. I think Pitchfork throws way too much content at the user, so this is definitely something I could see myself using. Is there a particular reason you chose Meteor over other Node frameworks/libraries? Were you just intrigued by it and wanted to try it out?

> The world is very much mutable

This depends on your definition of "the world". If time and memory are taken into account, you could easily make the case that the world is very much immutable. For example, if your friend changes his email address, its not as if his old address no longer exists. Even if it only exists in memory, it still exists somewhere, and you're still able to reference it.

If you're interested in this topic, I highly recommend Rich Hickey's talk "The Value of Values"[1].

I think its important to note that React does not encourage two way data binding. Quite the opposite, actually. Data is supposed to flow one-way, from parent to child.

That being said, there's an extension that adds two way bindings, called ReactLink. You can read more about it here: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/two-way-binding-helpers...

"I therefore find it difficult to see individuals who could focus their time and effort solving these problems, instead put their efforts into something like Yo."

Since when is this stuff zero-sum? Yo allegedly took 8 hours to build. Sure, during those 8 hours, Moshe Hogeg wasn't out solving the "big" problems, but in that day alone, he had 16 other hours, to do things the OP might deem worthy of his time.

I think this is a decent strategy for an aspiring marketer, since it shows off actual marketing skills.

For a software dev, however, not so much. I think it could come off as insincere and/or spammy.

If I'm emailing a company about a job, its because I'm particularly interested in working there. Therefore, I really try to be as personal and specific as I can when reaching out to the company. Especially in the initial email.

Otherwise I'd risk misrepresenting myself.
