Markdown with Strapdown inclusion, a pastebin, a CMS, bare Bootstrap... anything would be more readable than this.

I'm not against new concepts. Client-side rendering is awesome, reactivity is awesome. But I'm against all that bloatware. If a new concept can't be implemented without bloatware (hint: it can), we don't really need it.

But these things can and should be done in a different way. For example, all my JS stack (Z5 + DaBi) targets ES5 and is under 4 KB altogether. Yet it provides:

- DOM manipulation and auto-polyfilling some DOM essentials (only for the stuff that's really uncomfortable to do with native APIs - Q.js);

- reactive in-memory storage (with an ability to easily populate from external objects or remote requests - Zen.js);

- easy data-to-DOM and DOM-to-data binding (DaBi library);

- ability to easily build DOM and CSS styles from JS native constructs (XT.js and XS.js - never go through escaping hell again);

- client-side routing (R.js).

And while I agree that React/Angular are the bloatware (even jQuery is), I disagree that server-side rendering is any better and that throwing in another bloatware like ClojureScript would solve this issue. Like I had said in my article about client-side development (http://clientside.surge.sh/), go native or go home.

Edit to answer "how is it invalid": is this not enough? http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombina...

  git clone https://[repo]/[module].git node_modules/[module]

Yes, we can. Not a rocket science. How many paranoid freaks will actually switch to it - that is the question.

Besides Chinese origin of this CA, haven't found any caveats so far.

Free is better than cheap (at least in a way you haven't to disclose any of your real data).

  weekDay = (dateObj) => ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday'][dateObj.getDay()]

Even with such a strict check of the padding character length (with an exception) and a period by default it's a four-liner at most.

  leftPad = (str, len, pd = '.') => {
      if(pd.length !== 1) throw 'Invalid input'
      else return Array(len > str.length ? 1+len-str.length : 0).join(pd) + str
  }

Why does someone has more right than me to decide what's offensive, smartass or spam? Either leave that to the administration, or give that to everyone.

> The problem with downvote for everyone, including sock puppet accounts, is it becomes Reddit: "I disagree, have a downvote"

YMMV but I'm experiencing absolutely the same here.

Btw, when I agree, I upvote. Why can't I downvote when I disagree?

It seems that in order to "earn" that "ability" one has to praise Lisp, Rust and Haskell and publicly hate JS. Isn't that mass conciousness manipulation?

The selected few or a crowd thinking the same thought - what's the actual difference? The only difference is that in the second case all fresh and independent ideas get downvoted much faster.

Any karma-based resource suffers from this plague.

Ochlocracy at its worst.

Why can't I use the downvote button? It either must be available to everyone, or not available at all.

And if you, HN founders, are afraid that newcomers can be smarter than you, then remove the ability to downvote altogether. Whoever dislikes a post, can just ignore it.

P.S. The entire user rating system here contradicts the resource name. Hackers do not believe in karma.

Unique IDs, no way to change or delete (since the gists are anonymous), served right out-of-the-box with a proper content type from cdn.rawgit.com.

  isPositive = (x) => +x === x && x > 0

  isPositive = (x) => +x === x && x > 0 

Keep in mind though that absolutely not all JS programmers are like that. Not everyone wants to be an aforementioned Dick-from-a-mountain.

If third party modules are hosted on GitHub, you can fork them.

leftpad = (str, len, pd = ' ') => Array(len > str.length ? 1+len-str.length : 0).join(pd) + str

WTF are you talking about? Making this into a module?!
