Yep, and it wasn't required of Dojo either. Optional complexity doesn't make something any easier to understand, especially when most documentation and community expects you to use the complex parts.

You're missing the point, the same was true of Dojo. The point is not that scaled down is possible, it's that it's the way. It's not for the sake of learning, like the React with script tags tutorial. It's how peo

You're too much in-the-know. You skipped the build chain required to make this work. And if you make one mistake or do something not by the book you could easily wind up shipping the development version of React to your users (which is

I think the article explains it well, jQuery scaled down in a way that Dojo couldn't. I don't think you can fairly say that either Angular or React scale down in a way to enable the sort of amateurism that jQuery provided.

I know that that is typical, but there are exceptions, and if you work for the right agency you can be paid well, so I don't want to make any assumptions. If he's not paid well then I hope he realizes that by merely being awar

I hope they are paying you very well.

It works fine for many use cases but has serialization overhead.

Because those projects are very conservative about making things default. Apache famously has (had now?) bad defaults that no one should use, just for compatibility reasons. Keep in mind that caddy is not only https by default, it's HT

I do, but is that related to this article somehow?

What's interesting to me about this marketing page is how little ChromeOS is mentioned. I'm probably reading too much into it, but could it mean the long-predicted pivot towards Android being the OS? Or is it an attempt to remove

Palm sold webOS because it ran out of money. It ran out of money because webOS was not a success. It was really close, Verizon was going to make the Pre its flagship device but changed its mind when the Droid was a success. The smartphone l

I don't think that was at all part of why it failed. Palm stuck to their OS but theirs failed too. I think all that ultimately mattered was that Android became the Windows of mobile phones; an operating system that each manufacturer&#x

Optional features contribute to a tool's complexity, especially when every single example assumes you are using said optional feature.

Actually Nightly is what I'm using. Is there a page where I can see the types of speed advantages that pcwalton showed off in his talk?

Can someone more in the know explain if this uses webrender or not? I thought that it did... I have to admit that I'm not super impressed with the results here. Based on the talk that pcwalton did: https://www.youtube.com&#x

If you search for classList on npm you get a half dozen results. I disagree with your assessment here.

You say that as those jQuery is the only place you can get a addClass function without writing it yourself. It isn't.

by Touche 9y ago
Ironically jQuery doesn't have the things you ask for here, but plain JS indeed does (custom elements for components, CSS grid for columns).

Rather than using a library with a bunch of utility functions that you may or may not need, using individual utility functions indeed does seem like a better idea. For example, I don't support browsers without classList, so I don'

Those films are now done by Netflix and Amazon. Just a different model. I used to go to an indie theater twice a week when I was in college and saw every niche film. But those theaters hardly exist any more. The big theater experience just

I thought The Mummy was pretty good. I mean, it didn't change my life, but as an action/adventure type I liked it as much as the typical superhero or whatever movie.

Test your production builds, that's the solution. Both with unit tests (in CI) and sanity testing.

I disagree, I find Chromebook's software to be superior. The fact that it boots up directly to a browser is a plus for me, that's where I spend 85% of my time anyways. That I don't have to worry about borking some system file

I'm completely confused why the W3C is relevant at all. This already did happen, the browsers created the WHATWG. Since the browser vendors' opinions are the only ones that matter, why do we care what W3C thinks?
