It's a joke - the comment references a song [0] from the movie Titanic, which prominently features a sinking ship.

If you're wondering why comments are a factor at all, and aren't just discarded by the lexer, remember that comments in JS are preserved and available to things like `Function.prototype.toString()`. I've seen this used to do evil multiline string support a few times. Slap the multiline string or template into a comment inside a function and then have another function that toStrings it and strips the boilerplate.

This sounds like a horrifying hack but it's also pretty similar to how Angular's shorthand DI works.

This isn't a totally new phenomenon either. I used to ride this stretch of the Metro to work every day back in 2009-2012, and I remember seeing these plants back then too. At the time they hadn't really taken hold at Cleveland Park, but Woodley Park was overrun with them.

These stations also had a tendency to flood during particularly heavy rains, so it's no surprise that questionable drainage is the culprit.

It's interesting to note that these stations get no natural light where the ferns are growing. It's all manmade light.

In the final example where he switches to int32 for Go (after "Let's make it use int32 consistently and try again"), he runs gopherjs twice instead of running go and gopherjs. I hope that's a typo.

The reasoning seems correct, but it'd be nice to have the benchmarks corrected to verify.

I really like Go and have definitely felt there's room for great integrated tooling there.

I want to do Go as one of our early code engines. We'll probably start off using srclib for early Go support and then build up some bigger features around the compiler tools, go fix, and so forth.

The "Hot Dog Stand" theme was actually requested by more than one person. Gotta give the people what they want.

We want to make sure it's light enough to run on netbooks/travel computers.

We've got a Dell Venue 8 with an Atom processor lying around that we're using as a test device to make sure things still run well under CPU constraints.

We haven't looked too close yet at one-directory deployment or running off a USB stick, but I just added a sticky note to our backlog to see if we can do it cleanly.

Yep! It's in the backlog; to start we'll probably use srclib [1] under the hood to provide the code intel bits, and we'll do some special UI wrappers for bundler/gems.

We want to do some cool stuff with SQL down the road. We'd start with features like a query result browser, but could expand that into things like query analysis too.

We don't have it pegged for a specific release just yet though.

For what it's worth this is also true of NuGet:

"NuGet.org does not support permanent deletion of packages, because that would break anyone who is depending on it remaining available. This is particularly true when using the workflow that restores packages on build.

Instead, NuGet.org supports a way to 'unlist' a package, which can be done in the package management page on the web site. When a package is unlisted, it no longer shows up in search and in any package listing, both on NuGet.org and from the NuGet Visual Studio extension (or nuget.exe). However, it remains downloadable by specifying its exact version, which is what allows the Restore workflow to continue working.

If you run into an exceptional situation where you think one of your packages must be deleted, this can be handled manually by the NuGet team. e.g. if there is a copyright infringement issue, or potentially harmful content, that could be a valid reason to delete it."

Great visualization, but this would be much more interesting if it accounted for differences in income within countries as well.

A web-based IDE for automated testing [1] with real-time collaboration features. Pretty cool for a few reasons: First, it's actually making creating automated testing suites enjoyable. This is usually a pretty unenviable task. The IDE is something I actually like using though, and have found myself wanting to use it on just about every consulting gig or website I've touched since we started on it - even ones without an explicit automated testing requirement.

Second, the technology to pull this off requires a lot of different pieces, in different environments and languages. It's been a really satisfying technical challenge to make everything work together seamlessly and automatically.

The syntax is pretty great. I think you've used it before, but the syntax you're seeing is the Fluent Automation framework - it's an open source project that's been around for a couple years now. We recently released a ScriptCS version [1] of this that makes the syntax accessible to folks who aren't .NET developers or don't want all the weight of Visual Studio for writing and executing tests. More info on the Fluent Automation blog. [2]

Other author here. Not depicted in this video are a handful of other pretty neat features that we demoed in a video a while back [1]. Namely in-browser test recording. In the past month or so we've also built test playback across additional browser targets including every major version of Internet Explorer from 6 to 11, and iOS Safari.

Agreed. I think a blanket "Don't even try" is silly, and antithetical to the ethos of HN. I'm surprised there isn't more backlash against this.

"Don't just draw them on the skyscraper, make it work." would be a better sentiment. If wind is a problem, find a way to break the wind. If roots are a problem, find a way to stop the roots, or trim the roots, and build that into the design.

But there's a pile of evidence for the benefits of adding greenery to cities, so please just don't say to stop trying.

Regarding the US to China route, this is more complicated than it would seem. While getting a visa is probably the easiest solution, there are some situations where it is not required. An example being that you can enter visa-free into Shanghai for 48 hours if you're in transit through the airport.

There are some other odd visa-on-arrival schemes available for places like Shenzhen if you're arriving via Hong Kong (although I think this isn't available to US citizens, only to Australians, and a few other nationalities). I wouldn't be surprised if this is true of some of the other Special Economic Zones as well (e.g. Hainan island). It can be really hard to find this information though, even through official channels.

So this kind of confusion is what the author is up against when collecting data.

This is more likely to make you look oblivious and foppish rather than suave. Looking "suave" comes from adherence to classic dress. Stick to a four-in-hand knot.

If you're trying to "disrupt" tie knots, go for it, but most people will think you look silly.

First thing that jumped out to me is the error of listing Warren Buffet as the founder of Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway has been around since the mid 1800s. Makes me skeptical of the accuracy of the rest of the list. Especially of omissions.

Given the age of many Fortune 500 companies - many of their founders would be dead - what would be more interesting to see is a list/count/percentage of CEOs who founded their company and remained CEO through the company's original growth phase into the Fortune 500.

An obvious example would be someone like Bill Gates. Even though he's not the CEO anymore, he guided the company through its growth from a few people to Fortune 500 status, and deserves recognition at least equal to the folks on the list here.

I'm kind of happy to have just learned I'm not the only person in the world who habitually selects like this. I've done this for as long as I can remember, and the NYT thing drove me nuts as well.

Oddly enough I guess I always habitually deselect as well, so I've never noticed this gmail feature. Pretty useful.

Now if it browsers supported Sublime Text-style multiple selections for quoting several different bits of a long email, that'd be perfect.

On a sidenote it's kind of fascinating how polarised people are about this feature.
