Same excuse Firefox used to always make for its slowness; it's extensions fault. In the case of Atom, it's slower without any extensions installed, in my experience.

Yeah, their JavaScript is better. Electron has nothing to do with the speed.

The turning point was when Larry Page became CEO. For years Google tried to beat Facebook with open specs/protocols like XMPP, but there was also Activity Streams and others (PubSubHubbub). None of those really took off. I think Larry

If your model is restricting how people view content, then yes, using an open platform like the web is not a great choice. Instead try delivering your content as a native app. There you can do a much better job of preventing them from inter

Whats funny is that Google Wave was basically a direct predecessor to these types of apps and they killed it before the technology really had a chance to catch up to the vision.

I don't think that it does; why would it? You can send me scripts but I don't have to run them.

Yep, I had never heard of Teams but now am going to consider it for my startup.

That's not how the web works. Websites give you their website for free. Your web browser does a GET / and their server responds 200 OK with some content. How you view that content once it is transferred onto your computer is 100%

Can you explain the difference between an open and a closed 3rd party API?

Yes, you do downsize salaries. Paying Jill less than Bob where Jill is a better worker because she lives in Little Rock Arkansas and Bob lives in NYC is downsizing Jill's salary. Jill can do better. Hopefully other remote companies see

> That’s the worst possible way to define a standard. Not for the web. You can't break the web, so you can't be stricter that what has already shipped. Sorry. To your general point; I don't care. I don't want to use t

Thanks, knowing this I would avoid working for Zapier and would tell others not to, as you don't pay based on merit, but based on "what you need" based on cost of living. If a person is not limited to employment within a comm

Can you list some of these tools so that I can avoid using them, as they likely contain bugs that are fixed upstream in whatwg/html?

Question: How many profitable companies are out there that started their lives as mobile apps? The PC birthed Microsoft, Adobe, VMWare. The web gave us Google, Amazon, and Facebook as giants. I guess Instagram would probably be profitable

Probably not, but how are you handling theming?

I think you're confusing asm.js with wasm. wasm is not JavaScript.

That's a good point; fantasy and gambling are two areas where I could see RedZone as being valuable.

by Touche 10y ago
I am, my brother-in-law loves RedZone and I've watched it with him several times. To me, it is as I described. I don't know how you can say that you "essentially get to watch all the good games" if you only get to see th

Progressive enhancement isn't about people with JS turned off. It's about resiliency to failures. That might be network congestion, it might be a mistake in your code, or something else.

It's more about young athletes who have the choice between sports where your brain turns to mush and make half as much as you used to or other sports that are easier on the body. Look whats happened to boxing.

I find the popularity of RedZone to be bizarre; you're not watching football any more, you're watching a live version of sportscenter. If you don't find the games entertaining enough to watch, why do you want to follow the sp

It's always boggled my mind how popular the NFL is given that you get 5 seconds of action followed by 30 seconds of sitting around waiting for the next 5 seconds. Especially since "slow pace" is used as an argument against ba

Sports participation at the youth levels is not related to what spectator sports people like to watch. ESPN actually covers Lacrosse but no one watches it.

If you only want to pay for what you like you can pretty much already do that on Apple TV or Amazon Video. A channel is just a curated selection of content no different than a bundle is a curated selection of channels. Just because you like

I agree and hate the "for humans" meme. It's insulting and doesn't help your case.

Yeah, it's really only useful for game dev and other math heavy use-cases. In normal JavaScript, which could also benefit from threads, you use Objects and Arrays, which can't be transferred.

I'm not sure what conclusions we're supposed to draw from this. Just because they were able to hide the messages from a 3rd AI doesn't mean the encryption was good. Shouldn't a human examine it and see if they can codebr
