on: All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware
The video was too edited for me to have confidence. There was a moment at about 2:05 where I was interested to see how it handled the termination and merging of the lane -- but then we cut away before that happened. Or at 1:30 when there's no big sign post in the median, and then switching to left-rear camera, there we pass one. It's a nice narrative on the future, but it's far from proof of comprehensive functionality.

on: The State of JavaScript – Survey results
"the thing that stands out right away is how the React row just lights up compared to the other front-end frameworks. In other words, React users are more likely than average to have experimented with multiple other technologies."
I believe the data wrongly indicates this because React, Redux and Webpack are used together to achieve things that both Angular 2 and Ember solve similarly internally.

Is it possible the author intended it to mean `don't touch this/it`, instead of `don't touch me`?

on: Void – A website creation tool
If the OP is claiming copyright they only need to claim the year of original publication. Technically, not even that. To print the copyright as the current year doesn't make sense. Unless:
- The copyright is on specific content, made in the year indicated.
- The content is substantially revised (should just add a year, not replace it.).
For the entire website as an entity, 2015 is fine as the copyright notice and original date of publication.
That's my understanding anyway. Not legal advice.

The fact that large companies are making free use of this surprised me. Is it because they don't think that the seconds clause is actually enforceable? I would love to hear more on this.

on: You might not need jQuery
In particular, as I looked at the IE8+ list, Many of the 3-4 line plain old js lines were 1 line in jQuery.
When writing web apps, brevity counts for a lot.

on: Stop Writing JavaScript Compilers, Make Macros Instead
Maybe I wasn't clear. I am not saying that macros are functions. I'm saying that without seeing the implementation, both look identical, and thus could be conflated, but do not treat scope identically.

on: Stop Writing JavaScript Compilers, Make Macros Instead
So, after puzzling around with the macro for swap a bit, it seems like macros are like functions, except without the scoping rules, which suggests to me that we now have two kinds of functions, to keep track of in the code, each of which look identical, but behave differently. swap(a,b) looks like a function, but can interact with all the variables in the same scope (or above) as when it's called (is this the same for global functions?). Maybe I'm missing something big, but that seems dangerous when the macro is declared in another file, and I have to go figure out how it behaves.

Did anyone else have their display get corrupted by opening this site, opening Chrome dev tools, and closing chrome dev tools? My screen started putting up random squares of color and other artifacts and I lost keyboard control.

on: Sloppy UI – A collection of sloppy iOS7 UIs
I think that it's more complicated than just criticism of a less than perfect UI. I think it's an expression of the Apple community's concern that without Steve Jobs, Apple will no longer be able to produce the highly polished products that the community has come to expect.

on: In Surprisingly Bold Move, Sweden Offers a Home to All Syrian Refugees
The top comment (as of 12:49GMT, 2013-09-16) puts a different spin on it.
"Sweden is the world's largest weapon producer per capita, despite not being in a war for several hundreds of years. Our weapons cause destruction and desperation, the immigrants get 'welcomed' into something similar so slave labour, and suddenly the Swedish elite gets weapon incomes + free labor. There is simply nothing to love about it."
