This is ridiculous click-bait, and it wouldn't surprise me if the main point was to just come up with a headline that would go viral and drive people to their website which conveniently has an option to donate to their "legal fund".
I mean, come on. Do I like that they are making use of browser fingerprinting? Not really. But to make it sound like they are "illegally" scanning my computer is ridiculous.

Re:The Myth of the Myth of the 10x Programmer
on Monday February 17, 2020 @06:09PM (#22351806)
A few people have touched on it here, but I'll add my voice. I firmly believe that there are programmers who are better described as a "1 vs. 0" programmer. Some programmers have a creative talent in them that leads them to create elegant solutions that literally a team of 50 average programmers would not.

Re:Ask HN: Do you know any good audio books for developers?

I completely understand that you need to start with epub books. But do you have longer term plans to partner with the proprietary ebook providers? There are a lot of older Kindle eBooks without audio versions that I would love to listen to during my commute.

God, HN can be so cynical at times. (I'm not really directing this at just you, scarface74, but the overall tone of responses here). Docker and Kubernetes are not just about padding your resume. Why would I not want to use a solution for orchestration, availability, and elasticity of my services?

How much hiring and interviewing have you done? I've seen countless resumes with 25 years of stated glorious achievements, and they couldn't write a for loop.

Thanks for the reply. I will admit I live in a bit of an atheistic bubble, so it’s interesting to hear a different perspective, especially from someone as incredibly accomplished as you.

I took a look at your Wikipedia page. Are you actually a practicing Quaker? I know it’s none of my business. It’s just so unexpected to see from a UC Berkeley PhD, computer science prodigy, that I find it fascinating.
Re:Virtual DOM is pure overhead (2018)
on Saturday May 18, 2019 @09:35PM (#19950840)
2 things I'm not seeing in the article or in the comments so far:
1) The virtual DOM is an abstraction that allows rendering to multiple view implementations. The virtual DOM can be rendered to the browser, native phone UI, or to the desktop.
2) The virtual DOM can, and should, be built with immutable objects which enables very quick reference checks during the change detection cycle.
Re:Steve Singh stepping down as Docker CEO

Thanks for the advice! Is there one opinionated offering that has solid Windows Server support? It looks like OpenShift is working towards it, but it’s not ready yet.

As someone who wants to pitch containerization at my enterprisey company, what is the takeaway message here? Do I still assume Docker/kubernetes is the way to go? Sounds like I don't want to stake my reputation on Docker Swarm? Is there another container platform this community recommends other than Docker?
Re:To ORM or Not to ORM

I get that you're talking about Typescript, but I just want to say that Scala excels in this area as well. I found Slick to be a pleasure to work with once I embraced not trying to map directly from a relational model to an object model, but instead to just use Scala's ability to manipulate and reshape the relational model as needed.
