I still believe that Mozilla biggest mistake with mobile was not Firefox OS, it was that they started on Android too late. They should have been on Android from day one, but they weren't, and when they did build Fennec, it was really b

Do you not see how this is an insulting question? You know very well the use cases for generics. You do not need users to present new ones. You can literally Google "generics use cases" and get hundreds of thousands of results tha

I agree, I didn't find the statement refreshing at all, I found it insulting. You damn well know the use-cases for generics. If you still don't like it; fine, say that explicitly. Don't pussyfoot around it and play the "

Which is exactly why they want to offload the responsibility onto someone else.

This doesn't make DRM any easier. It makes it easier for media companies . If you are implementing a browser now you have to do backroom deals with DRM providers to use their plugins. Hopefully you have a nest egg from advertisement

Being in the spec is worse, because now it is the browser's responsibility. This is what EME defenders don't seem to understand, it's all about offloading the responsibility off of media companies and onto browser vendors. Le

This is what I don't get about the W3C and it's significance. Tim Berners-Lee (who is a personal hero of mine) could have blocked it, sure, but that means absolutely nothing. Like, nothing whatsoever. Since Tim Berners-Lee doesn&#

What's awful is that I, or you, or anyone else, cannot take the web specs and implement a browser that correctly displays websites that are following those standards. To correctly display every website I have to make backroom deals for

It's not the only choice. This is not about what browsers implement, this is about what open-standards spec.

But in Ruby people use symbols to specify an object's properties, and they aren't used that way in JavaScript at all. In JavaScript they are used for metadata and other things you don't want to be serialized by JSON.stringify

It's very unlikely you'll get any benefit from doing it the inefficient way either. Does eslint not support "ignore this part" comments?

In the US the sports media often talks about topics that are only tangentially related to sports. Like whether or not a sports team should accept an offer to visit the white house (a tradition for teams that win their league). Or about play

Yeah, I know about those. They are not exclusive deals though. Amazon has the "streaming rights" to thursday games but CBS will still be the primary partner. I'm talking about them directly competing with the networks.

by Touche 9y ago
Right, which is why I see them to continue to outsource that to networks. Amazon and Netflix are in a position where they have the reach that leagues want, but they don't have the experience with live content. My guess is that is their

I don't now about analysis, I don't remember a lot of that in the past, it's always been somewhat superficial. You're right that it's become louder and more TMZ in the past few years, but I think this is a general t

I think ESPN is being hit the hardest because their content costs the most. Look at this deal they signed. Can you imagine AMC or whatever other premium content channel having to spend 12 billion for a few shows a week?
648.
by Touche 9y ago
Shouldn't the service not be ESPN but ABC (which includes ESPN)? I would think that Amazon is a better position because of their diversity of content. ABC can match it, but ESPN alone cannot.

Did the city council get re-elected when they went against citizens?

by Touche 9y ago
Cities do have a "union", it's called the city government. Fans (aka people) bargain by electing people that agree with them. So far fans (aka people) are electing people who think the cost/benefit of paying for stadiums

Who is going to create such laws? The federal government? Why should they tell cities how to spend their money?

It's interesting to see sports networks evolve in the same direction as political networks. When your product is based on shared culture it seems to degenerate towards tribalism.

> For a comparatively new OS (Android is ~10 years old, modern Desktop OSes being 30+) people browsing the web directly are going to stick to the default. I disagree, which is why I cited Chrome for Android as an example. It was not the

If I were Amazon or YouTube I'd strongly consider making a bid the next time one of these leagues were available.

Thank you for stating this. What people forget is that the early Android Browser was really, really bad. Chrome helped considerably, but it wasn't released until several years into Android. Also remember that Chrome was not preinstalle

I worked on a website that experienced this same problem several years ago. The designers were pretty insistent on a design that would require the crappy non-native scrolling, but luckily management stepped in and said no to them. Point bei

So, there were type languages that compiled to JavaScript.

No, Flow is not JavaScript, it's a superset.

Yeah, it's just funny how the JavaScript community is all jumping on the types bandwagon right now and acting like it's some new discovery or something.

> Types - The adoption of Flow and TypeScript has brought to light a pent up need for some structure and sanity when writing large codebases. Just noting that types have been around in programming longer than 2012 (when TypeScript first
