This already happens on Giff-Gaff (a mobile network) and is opt-out only. It's not uncommon to find out a security-related blog on the front page of HN is blocked by the filter, and sites for projects like Metasploit are also blocked.

It's silly.

There's a startling lack of empathy here. Overcoming feelings of isolation and trying to get more involved is easier said than done for some, and the whole concept of taking something by the horns and just fucking dealing with it, or offering advice by 'telling it like it is' is astonishingly unhelpful to anyone who feels upset or down because of something. Not just sexism, or isolation, but depression, anxiety, loneliness, and all manner of things which will cause a person to feel like they're on the outside looking in, or beyond reproach.

The entire post cries out for such an empathetic response and I'm not surprised in the slightest that none is forthcoming in this thread.

I've had experiences myself relating to this attitude to things, and know that posts like this are incredibly difficult to write, and the emotions are difficult to discuss. I'm glad the author found the courage to publish it.

Sounds elitist. The only crime the author would have committed there is choosing a linkbaity title for their post, because something like that could cover any amount of interesting topics.

"Understanding Go and Coroutines as a PHP developer" for example might be useful, and it wouldn't suffer from being written by someone who hadn't absorbed the living spirit of Rob Pike before they wrote it.

It's handy unless you accidentally start searching for anything that could be mistaken for an IP address or domain. Typing in `0x10c` to find the site for the game, or `minimal-library.js`, or whatever, won't take you to a search results page.

Works alright for most things though, and I think it's still better than Google's default to Google approach, which is frustrating when you're working on a locally hosted site and keep getting sent to a search page.

Since Adobe requires you to register before you can download one of their trials, I'd wager that a lot of them are completely throwaway, or just lifted from bugmenot or whatever.

You can do Rails to a fair extent without really knowing Ruby, and just fumbling through it with a bunch of gems and messy code. In some ways it can be the gateway to learning Ruby itself, if you were so inclined to do so.

For things like CoffeeScript, which are fairly thin layers over another language, I'd always advise to just learn JS first. Dart and Clojurescript though are so far removed from their compilation target that you don't really need to know the JS, as long as there's good library support for what you want to do. In the case of clojurescript the interop is so seamless that it puts the focus on learning the APIs, which is where the true complexity lies. Of course, and even more so with typing, you also have the compiler to back you up.

Anecdotal, but there have been a number of times I've clicked a result on Google, and have been unable to get back to the results page without either double clicking the back button or finding it in the history. You'd just go to the original page that redirects you to the actual content and get stuck in a loop.

I'm probably young enough to have experienced Enterprise PHP, which by all accounts (at least when Symfony2 was just released) seemed like the love-child of Enterprise C++ and Enterprise Java.

This is much more inspired. I sort of feel sympathetic, because of the potential mental anguish you were likely to have incurred while writing it.

It doesn't feel like it's enterprise enough to be realistic.

    class TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBreadFactory {
      
      /* Make a sandwich
       * <p>
       * Construct a foodstuff consisting of two slices 
       * of bread with two slices of bacon.
       * @return TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread a sandwich
       */
      Public TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread getSandwich () {
       BaconRasherFactory pig = new BaconRasherFactory();

       BaconRasherInstance bacon1 = pig.getBaconRasher();
       BaconRasherInstance bacon2 = pig.getBaconRasher();


       SliceOfBreadFactory loaf = new SliceOfBreadFactory();
       
       SliceOfBread bread1 = loaf.getSliceOfBread();
       SliceOfBread bread2 = loaf.getSliceOfBread();

       return new TwoBaconRashersInsideTwoSlicesOfBread(bread1, bacon1, bacon2, bread2); 
    }

Or something... trying to do Enterprise Java is hard.

You can't renew your fingerprint, though.

There are many 'beers' in existence which, for all that they taste like, might as well be the product of a human civet.

Considering that Mario Kart has the rubber-banding effect to give less skilled players a chance, it doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that all their other multiplayer games have similar mechanisms to make the game fair for everyone.

Notice how the usage of 'Anonymous' as a proper noun means it has an identifiable name.
