Exactly this, the CEO of a publicly traded company would have to answer to the board of directors and investors. That would add resistance to spending lots of money on something unproven. Publicly traded tech companies get much more freedom in this regard. Plus just the amount of institutional cruft (technology, policy, procedure, personnel) in a large/old company like Sears.

Consider putting the site behind Cloudflare or similar content cache provider maybe?

A comment like this makes me think you really don't know much about Bell Labs.

A lot of modern computing traces back to them and Xerox.

not exactly the best example when you consider what their research arm bell labs gave us.

Not saying that monopolies are good, it's just not black and white...

I felt vim adventures helped me, but then again that's just anecdotal proving your point.

Lodash is fairly ubiquitous, you can sneak in some lodash fp into projects. Dalton even has it aliased for ramda. The artity for certain functions might be different I didn’t check.

tag Troy Hunt and underarmor on Twitter with a pic of this, sit back and enjoy.

The dot net foundation has released a lot of the language components, this appears to be a different compilation target.

It looks like this project skips the common intermediate language, and compiles straight to native processor code or Web Assembly (Ahead of Time compilation).

You get to skip the overhead of Just In Time compilation.

Security through obscurity isn't a good practice in general.

Because few people use it, security testers probably don't spend much time on it. So it could be easier to find vulnerabilities.

It's also end of support 7/11/2017, so nothing will get patched after (unless you pay for extended support). That leaves you exposed to any critical vulnerability found after that point.

So obscurity might save you from widely targeted attacks at the majority (android, iOS), but wouldn't stop any targeted attack against you.

one semicolon to rule them all?

Brainfart said boot camp meant parallels/fusion/virtualbox. Or go to the trouble of getting Linux on it and do the reverse. It's legal to virtualized OSX on Apple hard ware.

If you want a 15in, MacBook Retina Pro w/ bootcamp.

If you want a 13in, I honestly feel the Dell XPS 13 Developer edition is amazing, better than the 13in Retina Macbook Pro IMO.

Your point is valid, but your wording could have been better (I assume that is the reason for the down votes).

He doesn't mention consulting a doctor to explain the health risks before undertaking this. In my opinion, even if you think a medical professional is going to say you are stupid for trying it, you should still consult a medical professional. You need to be aware of the risks and their signs, and when you post something like this on your blog, it should be prefaced with you probably shouldn't try this.

What if someone dies trying to recreate his experiment? (I know common sense etc...)

Thanks for the links, I too always shuddered at the sound (and thought). Never gave the "why" much consideration.

"Airbnb, Tutorspree, and FlightCar have all shown that a contrarian nature is necessary to succeed."

a contrarian nature suggests that you are opposed to standard view. Yes, all the companies mentioned are contrarian in the sense that they do not follow the majority view of their respective markets. It's really a matter of semantics, but I would say what article is calling contrarian is at it's heart just disruptive innovation.

I like it, simple and elegant.
