You may be correct in that the bulk of the market is in standard pizza & t-shirts, but the internet/computers didn't create that market.

The article was pointing out what ordering over the internet with computers can potentially add to the ordering experience. Using the "web" in the same way one might have used a fax machine isn't particularly interesting then or now.

These things don't have to be mutually exclusive. Know your tools and when to use them.

I suspect those earlier attempts at learning to program were actually more instructive than that tweet suggests.

Also, "iOS development" is not a programming language and I'd be very skeptical of anyone who opines that Obj-c is easier to learn than PHP or js. (I also assume they're talking about Swift but I don't know much about it).

Interesting read, but worth noting this was published mid 2017.

Their primary presentation is the 0-5 star rating which is perfectly intuitive.

If I'm reading the methodology correctly, the actual STAR score represents the incidence of concussion, in which lower is certainly better.

The only real confusing thing I see is the "star" naming of the "STAR evaluation score" vs. using a "star rating" (0-5) and how they are actually separate things.

I agree. The only way to have this language paradigm discussion productively is if we're all looking at two well written implementations of the same project in each.

Even then, I think the final conclusion (most likely "agree to disagree") will be that it's largely subjective, and heavily biased by familiarity.

Ultimately though, it's really just a distraction to avoid the much more controversial discussion we need to be having vis-à-vis tabs vs. spaces.

Chrome in incognito mode seems to work as well.

History, the term "fasting" is often used to mean the reduction of food, omitting or only eating specific foods, or eating at only specific meals.

If you're interested, the wikipedia page has several examples:

If i'm not mistaken you should refrigerate it once open.

AFAICT (from googling), it's actually for returning undeliverable packages (no access, etc), and it sounds like resorting to this regularly it will reflect negatively on your job status.

You're basically just using Emacs then, right?

How so? I'd consider the Hollywood sign to be an iconic American landmark and haven't really heard much to the contrary.

Huge difference IMO. I'd explain your example as firefox highlighting the domain part of the URI.

To be fair, that list doesn't seem to include any of their LaserJet range, which I've always thought was their "business class" printers...

right click the button and `inspect` in firefox or chrome, it simply submits the form immediately before the button markup using:

Some are, apparently. A useful summary is buried at the bottom under the #why-are-we-doing-this anchor:

    Stripe Press highlights ideas that we think can be broadly useful. Some
    books contain entirely new material, some are collections of existing
    work reimagined, and others are republications of previous works that
    have remained relevant over time or have renewed relevance today.

If your goal was to be helpful, you should really be more specific than just "linux". It works fine on Firefox / Ubuntu Xenial for me.

In any event, I'd suspect it was more likely for the problem to be in the browser rather than than the kernel...

IANAL, but just after that:

    17602...
    (c) In addition to the requirements of subdivision (b), a consumer who accepts
    an automatic renewal or continuous service offer online shall be allowed to
    terminate the automatic renewal or continuous service exclusively online, which
    may include a termination email formatted and provided by the business that
    a consumer can send to the business without additional information.

though it seems to only apply if the agreement was made online.

Curiously, the article was published on April 1st. Just a coincidence perhaps...

Alternatively, Is there any reason today to not just use a language like Python/Ruby/JS for where shell languages would have been used?

I was about to comment about how it took me several reads and then finally reading the "compound commands" section of `BASH(1)` to recognize the use of `(` vs `{` in the examples. That distinction should have been made clear in the example IMO.

It's still an extremely interesting article imo.

I sometimes read hn as the discussions here can add to articles on topics I find interesting but have limited knowledge on, but the 3+ top comment threads (so far) discussing the title and not content of this article is somewhat disappointing.

Googling the names given in the article turns up some interesting links:

There's several links in the wikipedia article which can make for good jumping off points:
