Way to project, not sure how you extrapolated all that from my comment. My point is that when a bottom line is involved, you will see only a few options come to dominance once the dust settles. And while home grown efforts do bear fruit, they very very seldom become mainstream.

Can someone explain the downvotes?

And all those were done in the absence of capitalism, so they're not apt comparisons.

I hate to break it to HN, but we are not the norm. We're here because we long for more, and have the skills to make that yearning reality. So while every anecdote in the comments is true I'm sure for that person, for the vast majority of people, this article is pretty accurate.

It's easier to write, test, debug, and maintain. I have apps now that a few dozen files, all <= 100loc replacing systems where the number of files is many more and the file sizes were 2000loc per file.

If a secure server is compromised, then none of this matters. You have to trust someone at some point.

Um, no, she's an idiot, and you're justifying it her stupidity.

This has nothing to do with being vocal about security. Yea, they're helping the technical cause, but if you don't want backdoors in everything, the CEO's need to talk to the public so they're aware, and sending letters and phone calls.

Literally, it means testicles, but more colloclially it means bullshit in every English speaking country I know of.

It was very divided 4-5 years ago, predominantly when underscore and jQuery were both champing at the bit to be the top utility library. It's shifted towards not monkey patching, but it's not not absolutely decided for many developers.

So science 2.0 will be encumbered by patents... Great.

But that would eat into my Reddit checking time.

It's almost impossible to open a restaurant for less than 100k, so I don't know what you are going on about. Even if the 50k was free money from daddy, and not a business loan mixed with life savings and a a second mortgage, it's not even in the same realm.

An ad eyeball is an ad eyeball. I'd need to see some very solid metrics showing that eyeballs on old pages aren't as good as new.
