You should never have to redownload unless somebody is carelessly force oushing changes to the remote. If you're about to do something 'weird' like fix a merge conflict, you can save the changes by creating a branch. Sometime

Try using a tool like 'git cola' that allows you to selectively commit soecific lines, instead of just by file. Start a project and attempt to maintain a clean history. Break up changes logically into separate commits. To the poin

Exactly! Black box data is retrieved analyzed and scenarios are prepared for pilots to train against. I used to work in flight simulation and have flown a few different types. I designed the UI for the malfunctions/preselect system and

That was right around the time the OSSU-UI and OSSU-API teams left the project en masse. Tracking profile progress via GitHub issues wasn't feasible so we were working on a site where users could login with their GH account, choose a c

You missed the second half of the quote. Breaking changes to the language syntax/semantics. I'd expect breaking changes to apply to core APIs and/or to external tooling as both could probably use some revision now that the fu

I miss Stevey's blog rants His blog was by far my favorite. It touched on topics at a much deeper than anybody else and it's clear that he looks at the world from a brutally practical and realistic perspective. Something that&#x27

What's are the benefits of this lib over RxJS, Redux, and Flux. This isn't a criticism. Raher there are aready some well established FRP libs in JS. What's unique about this offering that would make users want to adopt it?

Incremental DOM updates cause layout thrashing which, when comlared to making a few additional passes over a set, is a couple of orders of magnitude more expensive. The point is, walk/filter the data completely prior to updating the vi

Client-side validation are much more important that server-side validations. Preventing a user from sending bad data to begin with avoids the poor usability of having to send bad a failed request and reset the form for editing. Database con

Like I said. Python3 works for regular python users. What if I want to distribute a package to an audience that doesn't have a strong Python background. What would otherwise be a simple 'pip install' just turned into a comple

Support for local, per-project installs without hacks like virtualenv. Per-project configurations to map things like external dependencies and project info. Setup.py + MANIFEST is not the answer. Better suport of versioned deps so multiple

To give them some credit. They have been pretty consistent about flagging and searching the portable electrical toolkit I use for work. Every time I check it as baggage, I get it back with a TSA certificate notifying that it was searched.

The '22 Immutable Laws of Branding' was mentioned in the talk. The speaker mentioned that it has a lot of great content if you ignore the shockingly bad predictions about the future of advertising on the web. I'll definitely

I seriously doubt 4 will include breaking changes, at least not to the semantics/syntax of the language itself. What python really needs in 4 is better unified package management and distribution support. They have a lot to learn fro

I think the biggest barrier to adoption right now is OS support. OSX still comes bundled with python2. There's no indication that Apple is working on a transition to 3. Ubuntu is actively working on the transition but the current LTS r

With NoSQL you do have to reimplement all of the constraints in the application but this will likely be necessary even for SQL code because you'll need to provide both server and client side validations on user input. SQL can be even

Isomorphic means hybrid client/server view rendering. SPAs are (relatively) slow to load. To improve perceived performance, the view requested is prerendered on the server with the ability to capture user input. The user sees a fully f

The new logo looks like Pacman after assimilation by the Borg. Maybe that's indicative of the new 'data platform' development team they're actively recruiting for.

Go is an incremental improvement over the C++ ecosystem without all the legacy baggage. By controling the platform, Google can leverage the ecosystem to attract and cherry-pick early adopters to the language. Once the language becomes popul

The US does this by allowing states to have their own local governments and laws. Forcing everybody into a single, homogeneous culture dictated by a central authority is a recipe for disaster. People often point to the chaos that takes plac

Great read, it's kind of funny how much value we place on out ability to create complex patterns. Despite how often they are either bad at describing or completely detached from reality. I find it very difficult to see astrophysics as

Hacker Rank is to hiring what Tinder would be to dating if profiles were made up of genital pics and length/depth measurements. It'll give you a clear measurement of a candidates ability to do CS homework and not much else.
