Yes, I've seen this too. I think I've even been that person. (But that's a different story.) The first company I worked for claimed that most new employees took 6 months to ramp up to the internal tools & processes, which

yes-www is clearly the more practical solution based on current technology and its limitations. And no-www ( http://no-www.org/ ) is clearly the more aesthetic solution. Either is perfectly valid, and depending on who you ask

Interesting idea, but right now this is just a self-hosted instance of Reddit, is it not? How do you plan to develop the idea further and (most importantly) attract actual visitors/users?

Surge pricing was a brilliant way to ensure the marketplace could deliver when demand for drivers was high and/or supply was low, but it's also an example of why a "free" market can really screw over individuals at the w

Looks like it is doing something with shields.io, but hard to know what to make of it without any real README. Also, some of the badges consistently fail to load for me.

Honestly, more like "the real reason to avoid programming" If you are the type of person who likes to paint ideas and approaches in black and white, pointing out only the upsides of the things you like and only the downsides of th

One thing I noticed -- the Nexus 6 actually comes in either 32GB or 64GB, but when I search based on memory/storage or on price, only the 32GB shows up. This is probably happening for other models with multiple variations. (Also, I thi

I suspect that Obnam doesn't cause all of the de-duplicated chunks to get so "entagled" (as bup puts it, in their readme). There are existing discussions about the way bup pruning would have to work: https://groups

I can see how this would be theoretically possible in the same way I could see using `git filter-branch` to remove one or more commits from a code repository. But as it requires walking back up the tree to recalculate all of the commit hash

No. Some view layers require you to specify a lot more of the state transition code and may be more heavily integrated with the rest of your architecture (like the way you do data binding, etc). Because React transparently updates state by

I find that "progressive enhancement", while perhaps a bit more work, results in a more robust and maintainable webapp. The fact that results in pages that work without JS is almost a side-effect and barely needs to be tested. The

Fair. I haven't tried rendering server-side with React. I'm sure it's as much a maintenance nightmare as much as any major feature. But I do have apps I maintain that started as traditional Rails apps and have been progressiv

There are non-Chrome-specific "offline" APIs. Some already found in the wild, and some still exist as specs. Google is free to roll their own and keep it to themselves, but I think it's perfectly okay to shame them when they

Whatever happened to "progressive enhancement"? It's possible to build a very rich experience around standard HTML+CSS and then enhance it with Javascript. This is how much of Github works. I'm not saying you should alw

by Smudge 12y ago
You could always just build one version that is capable of rendering either server-side or client-side. React.js and other similar frameworks (that do diff-based updates) work well with this, or at least better than frameworks where the sta

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'works' -- I was able to view my facebook profile, click on links, visit other profiles, and even view a few entries on my news feed. Same with Twitter -- profile, news feed, a few other page

As someone who also enjoys building rich interactions as well, I find that it's just a matter of understanding the trade-offs. Requiring Javascript support is sort of like relying heavily on the latest HTML or CSS features (a recent ex

You might be surprised at what can be accomplished with HTML and CSS alone. Most of github.com works just fine without Javascript. Much of Twitter and Facebook work too. Facebook does give a warning, but they say you should enable Javascrip

I'd argue that being able to think laterally across multiple parts of the web browser is much more important for front-end development than having the typical CS background (algos, data structures, etc). But the CS background certainly

No, I get it. I was just extrapolating, since presumably devs are still checking if the name starts with "Windows 7", "Windows 8", etc. But maybe they're not. Either way, if it's the user's problem, it&#x2

The line between being trans and being a "drag performer" is way more blurred and way more personal than you are making it out to be. Furthermore, looking at your other example, I'd argue that PartyBro045 and BusinessDude75 s
