I disagree with "2 months". It's definitely true that launching early is the way to go. I think the biggest thing is continuing momentum. If you commit to working on the project every day for 1-2 like some others have said,

Steve Ballmer talked about this recently on a podcast, and said that they are working on it. It would allow you to buy a "virtual ticket" for any seat in the building. I think it's a pretty great idea for fans who live far aw

So many problems in programming are caused by trying to replace code with configuration. I've learned over time that the DRY principle can be harmful. Avoiding repetition is only good when it remains equally readable and powerful. Defi

Versioning assets separately by sticking them in new subfolders is just re-inventing ETags in a bad way. Just use ETags. The point of the folder versioning scheme the article proposes is to make rollbacks easier. You can easily rollback a &

If one.js changes but two.js doesn't, then two.js should come from the cache. Only one.js should be fetched from network. Sticking all assets in an /assets/v2 folder invalidates everything .

I've been on the internet since the mid 90s and this is the first time I've been compared to Hitler. Not sure if I should be proud (of the fact that this is the first time) or sad.

Yep, lots of people were wrong about this. Being wrong is not evil though.

Judging policy as good/bad is different from saying "did objectively terrible things". The latter is saying that they had bad intentions.

Good example, as far as the historical record is concerned, GWB thought that they had WMDs. Any claims that it was started for another reason needs evidence or it ventures into conspiracy theory territory.

I judge presidents by their intent. The reason we all hate politics and politicians is because they have an impossible job, of choosing between nothing but bad choices. GWB made a lot of mistakes. But I believe he always had good intentions

The reason the comparison is downplayed is because Hitler committed genocide and attempted to exterminate an entire race. Not only did he do these things, he talked about them before he had gained political power. Now I am no Trump fan, and

Don't you have to pay for an Organization though, regardless of what types of repos it has?

Sure, and that reason might not be that they are guilty. It could be that they feel they are possibly being treated as a scape goat.

Twitter's problem is that the vast majority of tweets are never seen, or barely seen, by anyone. This means that for most people, there is no incentive, in the form of social acceptance, to tweet anything.

I'm not conflating anything. I don't disagree that it would be better if Vivaldi were open source. I just don't think that reason is all that compelling to Vivaldi the company. Who thinks about "what happens when my comp

No, Firefox is successful because it's lineage from Netscape, and then subsequently releasing its browser during a time when the only competition was terrible. If Firefox had started today it would have the same problems as Vivaldi. Fi

Brave has the same problem. I think it's a problem with Electron that makes doing that difficult.

Yep, the 90-90 rule[1] The other lesson to take is to be more cautious about announcing stuff before its really ready. But they don't seem to have learned that here. Here we have a project with its own logo, a marketing video with a ni

I think Ember is really good at marketing the stuff they work on, but it is usually overhyped. Fastboot, for example, was announced what, 3 years ago? The readme says it's still not ready to use: > The bottom line is that you should

What I think the GP is saying, and I agree, is that the CLI makes Glimmer the center of your world and not just another library you use. MomentJS doesn't come with a CLI tool to use it. You just use it.

I think Snapchat is pretty popular with people in their 20s as well. Instagram with people in their 30s. The only "young" people I see on Facebook are new mothers who want to share pictures of their kids with older relatives.
