I agree, the only time I write a loop out is when I need to break out of it
Re:Scripting API now in public beta on Saturday December 08, 2018 @05:52PM (#18638012)
I disagree. This would have been true like 4-6 years ago when Minecraft was still in the spotlight of the mainstream. Kids today have moved onto other games like Roblox and Fortnite

The classic switcharoo
Re:WebAssembly First Public Working Drafts on Thursday February 15, 2018 @07:36PM (#16389029)
Now that makes me wonder what the point of WASM is because we could have always transpiled code to JS
Isn’t Papel a JavaScript library?
People enjoy concerts for different reasons and in different ways. I don’t see why we should deny them the freedom just because you appreciate events different.
Re:WebAssembly: Swift, C#, Java and Oxygene in the Browser on Friday January 12, 2018 @05:53PM (#16137041)
It’s still not quite clear to me what new things WASM introduces to using different languages. Weren’t we already able to transpile any language to JS?

I wish I went to a prestigious enough university for a Facebook recruiter to reach out to me for internship opportunities.

Ok great now that we know SVG is awesome, where do we begin learning how to use it like a pro?

It's always been prevented in Dota 2. Buildings have backdoor protection, which makes them regenerate lost HP from recent attacks unless there are creeps nearby.

What an incredible journey.
I'm sure Tesla is trying to figure this problem out without compromising the integrity of their batteries. I expect to see quick charging electric cars within the next 2 decades. Regardless, I'd still rather have a Tesla car over any ICE car because I can just charge my car at home, and I can still do road trips across the country because of superchargers. I wouldn't mind the wait at all.
New flash Mr. or Ms. 1%, the other way around is an actual problem that people deal with everyday. There are people who probably work harder and sacrifice more than you everyday, yet they're working class and in poverty.
This reminds me of a bit from Better Off Ted.
I'd be really surprised if an app like Skype could overlook such a simple bug.

Re:It’s time to do the right thing, Microsoft on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @03:27PM (#13475149)
Oh no Microsoft accidentally switched the default browsers of the 5 Vivaldi users to Edge.

How is this news? This would have occurred even if Hillary Clinton or anyone else was elected president.
Except on top of living a decade less, you'll also be riddled with health problems your entire life.
Re:Exploring ES6 on Tuesday January 17, 2017 @07:32PM (#13422948)
If you're adopting ES6 into your stack, you may as well go all the way and support ES2017 features.
We'll probably have politicians blatantly denying the existence of the meteor despite the fact that it's literally right above us.
Does anyone have an image of the periodic table with the new elements in it?

Enjoy losing tons of potential users over your stubbornness for something that you could easily fix.

I imagined Pebble being worth more.
