Or perhaps SQLite, since it should perform similar to writing to a CSV file and you get querying out of the box afterwards.

Maybe it's just me, but this would look infinitely more readable to me if I could tell where each callback starts and where it ends, i.e. in plain JavaScript.

Funnily enough, that's a little bit what's happening with America now. A lot of Europeans can't help but think that the entirety of the US have lost their senses electing Trump, when in reality the country could not be more d

"Make America great again" never stood for making America actually great, it was all along an euphemism for "Make America go back in time 50 years again", and sadly a lot of people wanted just that.

I don't understand why Facebook always gets 100% of the blame in cases like these. Don't get me wrong, I get the concern, but what happened to the old adage of "if you don't want something on the internet, don't put

I always get the feeling that most man pages are written for people who already know how to use the commands, rather than people new to them. For example, if I already understand how tar works and have a general idea of how to use it, man t

It's poorly worded, but I think the GP commenter is complaining about having to register to see any sort of demo of the funcionality.

According to Reuters[0] about 8% of all downloads converted to sales for the full game. That's not that bad technically, but I guess expectations were high after Pokemon GO. [0] http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ni

Facebook is massive, at nearly 2 billion users they hold a monopoly that covers most of the connected world, and it's only going to continue to grow. They are not going away. Twitter on the other hand, it's not that they have fail

There's no rational reason why a PotUS should be tweeting random impulsive thoughts to the world at large. Very few potential positives, a lot of potential negatives. It's pretty obvious that Trump should not be doing this, but

Technically, the people who believe false information and aren't critical are the problem, but I guess there's not a whole lot we can do about that, other than prevent the incentives that currently exist for fake news (ad profit

There is "twisting" the truth to implicitly convey a certain narrative, and then there are outright lies. Do not confuse the two: the "trash" news sites that publish blatant lies for ad profit are very real, and a bigger

One solution for this problem that is very mature and stable today is not using an iPad Pro for work on the go :) Seriously though, as a developer I find the Surface Pro far better suited for mobile productivity, I can't imagine gettin

Don't bother reading this, it makes a bunch of baseless assumptions and arguments (Google Wave failed because of marketing? No market need can be fixed with marketing?). It has no substance other than the catchy click-bait title.

I don't imagine that Google will become super conservative and short sighted overnight; it's probably more about managing moonshots a bit more closely rather than not betting in them at all. It wouldn't be Google if they stop

From the end user POV it's a shitty thing to do, but most likely this stems from the developer making a deal with Intel. It takes a lot of resources and effort to deliver VR games with the quality and length that PC gamers have to come

High quality VR is simply too expensive right now for anyone but the most hardcore PC gamers due to the requirement for a high end gaming rig in addition to the headset. Facebook and Valve will have to continue subsidizing VR content and de

The site was successful, but it doesn't look like it had a whole lot of potential for growth; more likely than not it already peaked and was losing steam due to an ever decreasing quality in submissions.

Congrats on release! We've been using Grafana for a few years now, and personally built-in alerting is the only thing I would have added. Some may argue that this "violates" good concern separation practices, but honestly you

InfluxDB + Grafana is a super easy combo to set up (two binaries, no dependencies) and it's very low maintenance once it's up. If you are looking for something that's both affordable and hassle free it's a pretty good al
