There's also this thing called a phone book which has almost everyone and their number in it. Phone numbers are not sensitive information, period.

Especially when they already have access to your entire email history. If they wanted your phone number for nefarious means it will probably be somewhere in that history already. Your email already requires complete trust in the email provider service, there's so much more sensitive stuff they already have access to.

You can put any type of value in an array in JavaScript. You can have numbers, strings, booleans, arrays, and objects. So what should the default sort function sort by? Sorting by numbers makes sense, but what if it wanted to sort strings instead?

When you don't know what value is in an array ahead of time you can't assume how to sort it. When you're controlling the program you can provide a sort function for the type of values you know will be in it, but when you're writing the standard default sort function, there's only one type that you can convert all the other types to safely and simply in the most predictable way, which is strings.

Hear me out, a good portion of Reddit posts are reposts anyways so what if we did a one time import of Reddit community top posts of all time to seed communities so there's a place people feel more encouraged to post to? I don't like bot posts generally, but if it's a one time thing I think I'd like it if the communities here had some extra seed content to browse so you wouldn't reach the end so quickly like you do now.

When companies maximize profits they call it smart and good business. When employees try to increase their wages they call it greedy and bad business.

I wouldn't even call unions socialist, I think they're more like a capitalist tool for workers, so those that are already rich get to benefit from capitalism and socialism while workers benefit from neither.

I don't think the post is saying who's right is simple, but that both of them need to do more research until there's enough context to perform a proper assessment. In the situation shown there is not enough information to determine what the facts are and it's bad for either of them to form an opinion on incomplete context. I agree with the counterpoint, if the situation is vague, do more research first.

Calling them psychologists is giving them too much credit, but you're right that the companies trying to trick them are putting tons of resources into it.

Sounds about right, nowadays you need to win the lottery to afford having kids

After experiencing ad hoc inline scripts, frameworkless jQuery spaghetti code, inflexible monoliths like angular, and overly simplistic micro frameworks like backbone, I'm super happy with where we're at with react and react like frameworks. I really do feel like we've hit the sweet spot between power, simplicity, flexibility, and ease of use which is why I'm confident that things aren't going to be as volatile as the past. React is already 10 years old now and still going strong with no new trends looking to usurp it. I think those old trends were necessary experiments to get to where we are now, and I think the old meme of web dev changing every week is no longer true.
