You can't attack someone's beliefs because they cited anecdotal experiences, and then go and do the same thing to justify your beliefs.
Now I cant unsee two cigarettes stuffed in to this guys ears.
Yes but you didn't dispute his major point of server-side rendering.
Why do the people trying to rearrange the meaning of the term "racism" always seem to also be racist in terms of the traditional meaning, which is discriminating against others based on race.
If you actually remove "Nation of Islam" and replace it with "Islam" and look globally, your comment will make sense.
Anecdotal counterpoint: I was in a rut much like the OP, and took a half year off to explore psychedelic drugs, music festivals, and local art culture. A couple of good acid trips really reset my expectations on reality and gave me some much needed grounding.
With my newfound perspective, I took some professional risks that were extremely advantageous in the long run. I likely would not have seen the options, or have the fortitude to try them without a my sabbatical.
Never try this if you are depressed and looking for a quick-fix to your issues though. If you are bored, scared of change, or unsure how to make life choices, then I would suggest a good ole' high-dose acid trip in the woods.
Also, buy a cheap road bike and ride it 100 miles straight. Seriously, it will change your life.
I found out recently how much of a nightmare removeEventListener is compared to namespaced events in jQuery.
It has zero effect on my workflow though. I can run Chrome, Safari (for testing), Outlook, Slack, music streaming, etc. without any slowdown when developing with Atom.
Edit: Just checked, after using Atom for two days straight it is currently occupying 80MB of ram. Anecdotally, the claim that Atom is a resource hog is actually wrong.
Anecdotally, Atom runs fine on my MBP from 2012... Sure it's a bit of a hog resource wise, but I find that the benefits outweigh the cons.
No of course not. In fact, him doing so only serves to alienate readers.
"I don't know any black people who have never had a negative, frightening interaction with police."
Anecdotal evidence is generally frowned upon when discussing statistics or topics in general terms.

We're beginning a new site launch project, and currently in the midst of assembling our strategy around the Javascript architecture.After so research I opted to vote for using Webpack and BabelJS. Our tech lead is concerned that our team isn't ready to use "advanced javascript" and it will cause issues.My answer was that ES2015 encompasses a lot of additions to the language, and that we don't...

No, just like Sublime Text. Atom copied these features and shortcuts from ST.
Their consumer protections are significantly better than other credit card companies. That alone makes owning a gold card worth it to me.
No one minifies NodeJS code. The reduced file-size of minified JS is irrelevant on the server.
They just built a massive distribution center in Baltimore, that's why it's available there before DC.
More apt would be Fetch body + Fetch content + Evaluate + Layout + Render vs. Fetch body + Layout + Render
Has anyone built an Ecommerce platform in Meteor? Meteor is just this months hotness for building a specific type of web product, namely web apps. It's not going to become the defacto standard of anything else.
As a former Flash Developer, I will never put my time and money into learning Adobe software again.
There's something to this for sure. I went from not riding a bike in 10 years to doing a 111 mile ride this summer. One of the main things I noticed was a noticeable drop in negative thoughts/anxiety in my daily life. When you're pushing your body to its limits, combating fatigue and pain, your thought process seems to really change. In the moment it's kind of like meditation, and afterwards it adds some perspective to things.
