I somewhat agree. But more than that I don't this service is really comparable to a single dedicated EA. It feels more like TaskRabbit++. The most valuable thing about having good EA is the relationship e.g. you often don't need

I can't speak for the author, but it may be for simplicity's sake. Personally I would have still have gone Babel+* but a Babel transpilation pipeline adds a non-negligible level of complexity to a project, especially when it comes

I couldn't disagree more. I would fit into the 'potential employers' part of your comment, having hired <50 people in the last 12-18 months (and 100's total in my time). If I got a candidates name, and Google'd t

I think "haphazardly" might be a little harsh, my understanding is that the IO.js core team fully understood the introspection regressions that would occur when bumping V8; but they took the descison that improved runtime performa

by Joe8Bit 11y ago
As far as I understood, removing MDB was an unfortunate side-effect of upgrading V8 to a newer version[0], and while I can see this would be an issue for some people, I would argue that bumping V8 and the performance and core language impro

I understand there a lots of governance/no technical differences, but is there a clear answer as to why Joyent can't use 'fast forward' Node to the current IO.js stable? Are there major discrepancies between the roads th

Been using it production for a couple months now, no issues. We have a reasonable number of IO.js powered microservices, we've seen anecdotally better performance for some use cases but regressions in none, however we've seen SIGN

Totally see your point, but it makes me wonder why IBM point to this demo as an example of Watson API usage (and how good it is) when the demo doesn't live up to (anything like?) Watson's true potential. Strikes me as a little cou

I'm not sure if my expectations were overly optimistic, but using the 'Ask Watson' feature in the beer demo gave REALLY disappointingly inaccurate answers to very simple questions about beer. e.g. "What is beer made from

Agreed, upgraded since the beta and had few issues, and only then on beta releases that have since been fixed. Not sure how constructive this comment is, but thought it was worth seconding your experience.

I have to admit to not feeling too strongly either way about this, but the argument I would have against the 'never use IDs in CSS selectors' is purely a semantic one. An ID, by design, semantically references a single thing. This

I like this idea (and backed it!) but I'd have liked if the fact it was going to be a commercial font was more apparent on the KickStarter page, as it feels a bit buried at the moment. I doubt this was deliberate, but I can say persona
