Yeah, more powerful computers allow us to actually automate the things that currently still require a human being to manage. Although @seanwilson is correct that almost no one needs a faster Excel, faster computers enable programs that auto

Cool to see so much packed into one place. In my experience with React and Redux, there have been two major challenges in finding well-documented examples to follow. First is finding anything that describes more than a toy project that just

Events + callbacks are great for keeping with the conventions of the existing (ancient) DOM APIs, but I was hoping that a new, 'modern' framework would be a little more ambitious by making everything promise-based.

Wasn't expecting such a negative reaction to this. For Issues, the feature isn't particularly useful to me, but for Pull Requests, it's a great way of declaring who needs to sign off for the PR to be merged. When big features

Sharing URLs between machines is critical, but they don't have to be at the top of every window to be shareable. I agree that simple URL sharing should be a core feature of a browser - but a small 'share' button that copies t

The argument is about whether they mean anything to _people_, though, as part of the user interface. URLs are hugely meaningful to software, and the ability to share them is critical, but that's independent of whether they are shown at

I wanted to like this article, but it's not helpful to argue against assertions by making evidence-free counter-assertions. > The end result may feel very “app-like” if you’re using an approved browser, but throwing the users of oth

URLs are not going away - like you point out, they are a reasonably good way for software to pass around a few bytes describing a resource location. Their usefulness for humans, particularly within a single site/web app, is less clear

It's talking about what to do if something you considered treating as a business doesn't look economically viable - I am suggesting that instead of shuttering the project, it is perfectly valid (and even beneficial) to keep it goi

Good perspective to focus decision-making. I think option 3 is a little too simplistic, however: > If you can't grow or you can't make money doing what you're doing, then don't do it It seems to me that better advice

Essentially, FPGAs are as "close to the metal" as you can get - they are the metal - which means you can configure circuits that utilize the minimal number of 'gates' needed to go from a specific set of allowable input

Again, I would be surprised if the majority of Americans would come up with "about the same as a normal ton" - I suspect the majority of Americans wouldn't know that there is such thing as a metric ton, much less how it relat

It may be condescending, but I would be astounded if the majority of Americans could estimate the value of 1000kg in lbs within an order of magnitude.

It looks like React Storybook uses a similar set of principles to what you're describing but organizes them for a different use case than Redux DevTools. You definitely could build something like React Storybook using Redux DevTools, b

This is true with current car economics, but in a shared car economy, it will become increasingly expensive to have exclusive ownership, and people will vote with their wallets. Shared-car design could also be drastically different. I don&#

I think the point is that 'bigger' implies that the squid is actually larger than a bus, not just longer in one dimension. By the logic of the article, I have a garden hose that's bigger than a bus.

Do you realize that the post is less about FlyMaids being "unclear" and more about it being completely dishonest, as well as using user data provided to HomeJoy without the permission of those users?

The Fritzbox is €219, not $219, and doesn't seem to be available in the US, so the comparison isn't really fair. At $200, there still aren't many obviously-better options, although there are plenty of good ones
