I agree in principle and will use mailto: and tel: links on any project where I have the luxury of doing things properly without worrying about the consequences. But at the same time it's not easy to explain to a client that their emai

The fact that many people don't have the handling for it configured, especially on desktop. If you use a provider like gmail or hotmail, there's a chance they're not set up as your mailto link handler. So in that case, some r

As far as I understand the Composition API is purely opt-in and aimed at cases where you want to trade simplicity for power/control. The Options API is still the default and remained pretty much the same.

That's nothing to be sad about, quite the opposite. The longer you work in this field, the more you'll realize skills that make people "senior" are not technical most of the time.

What's the current outlook of Servo following recent events at Mozilla? Did any significant contributions previously come from the OSS community or was it more or less just Mozillians?

Are you sure? I just did the same and SendGrid's cheapest plan seems to be $15 for 50,000 emails, which is $0.30 per 1000 emails, so 3x as much. Also, this quote seems to be based on using AWS Simple Email Service. Lower down they say:

Sure, but Apple could solve that by requiring a user action to show that popup dialog. Or they could even block everything by default and force you to give permissions manually. That way average Joe is blisfully unaware of anything and comp

Love this! Some languages are typically taught in introductory programming courses - it's a very deliberate process aimed at explaining concepts from the ground up. JS is the opposite, people mostly learn it top-down, doing web develop

Exactly! And to add to your argument - their encouragement isn't entirely neutral, it will cause a potential turnout increase in the population that uses Facebook. If anyone is bothered by priests in church telling believers to go vote

"Humans" aren't an inherent unchangeable force of nature. What you're describing is a result of living in the current socio-economical system, which can be changed.

Cmon, I live in a country where there is a legal obligation to inform candidates whether they passed the interview. It's not a very high bar. We shouldn't be accepting this kind of behaviour - especially from someone as renowned a

Is anyone using this in combination with a plain ole' server rendered app? All the examples seem to build on a SPA example where you have a single index.js entrypoint for your entire app. What about a Rails/Django project where ea

Whether it's companies or governments, press briefings are already an entirely accepted thing. If you think about it, it's a scary concept - someone with a clear motivation to control the story picks journalists they like, invites

Yep, +1 from me. They put a PR reviews scoreboard on the TV that displayed a random metrics dashboard and we immediately started teasing each other about it and did more PR reviews as a consequence. We liked it because it wasn't seen b

The positive attitude towards this project is a great reminder of what the internet could look like (and often DID look like) without the extreme commercial exploitation and the consequential cynical and cautious user attitude. When Google

This is what I was referring to in my last paragraph. We didn't discover concepts like country and nation, we invented them. They're very real and have a profound effect on our lives, but at the same time they are completely ficti

I always felt like the biggest benefit of microservices (for the average company that just jumped on the band wagon) was simply the fact it forced them to break things up. Yes, they could achieve the same result with none of the overhead on

Kudos for trying to find a sensible solution, but most of these disputes aren't about determining which geographical area a person and/or their ancestors stem from - that would be relatively simple to resolve with sources which ar

An edit war being lame doesn't mean the article topic is lame. The lameness comes from both sides taking their own opinion and using the article to present it as the one and only truth. An atheist and a christian could have an edit war

Meh, dunno - a lot of people having strong opinions and emotions doesn't really mean the fact they're discussing is important. Let's say my parents are from A, I was born in B and live in C. There was an important and well kn

You typically write in one language and the compiler produces something lower-level out of it. In this case, you write vanilla JS and get (different) vanilla JS.

A 43" UHD TV would have the same dpi as a 21.5" FHD monitor, so I guess the viewing distance should be about the same for both, if that helps put things into perspective. I'm assuming you don't intend to use scaling. An

I very much disagree with the fads vs. revolutions division in this article, or rather - I find it unfair. A certain technology succeeding often has a lot to do with its quality, but it's impossible to ignore all the complex social pro
