Unless you're using something like .Net remoting (or the Java equivalent), and now suddenly everything breaks. Or you have a larger codebase split up into multiple .Net solutions and DLLs where code is referenced through the generated

They have some experimental features enabled there which they don't in other channels. For example, I'm running Nightly, and the Dev Tools>What's New tab says the "Debug Variables with Watchpoints" (break when a

I agree. When I first heard of it, IFTTT was basically Pipes done right for me. In many ways Pipes was far too ahead of its time. The Web simply did not have as much computation and reason for integrating data between different web apps at

The "headless" UI concepts promoted at this website feel to me like an attempt to shoehorn separation of templates and business logic which React has strongly resisted. Any thoughts on whether this impression is right or wrong?

The average user, by Google's own studies, wants a faster experience. By far. Is there any evidence that web apps of today are faster in achieving what equivalent non appy web pages of the past managed? Despite the fact that those olde

WMT is written off way too easily on these forums. It makes more in profits per year than AMZN probably has it's entire history. And I certainly think it's gonna be a lot harder for AMZN to replicate WMT's network of retail s

Agreed. They named it Internet.org but the service is diametrically opposed to the basic principles that make up the Internet as we know it. A far more appropriate name would have been AOL.org. But that wouldn't have been as good PR an

Even if you don't get open borders, the fact that we have all these treaties which force free flow of capital across but do nothing to allow easier flow of labor across borders is a huge problem. It allows nations with crappy social an

Firefox is my primary browser everywhere but on iOS. It would be nice if I could have the passwords, history and bookmarks available to me on all my other OSes on iOS as well. This is a huge gap for Firefox IMO.

I would have hoped that as web devs we would have learned our lessons from the IE6 fiasco. The only browser web devs should be supporting and evangelizing is Firefox. Admittedly Firefox isn't always the best browser, but it has always

Opera went out of its way to ensure non-standard stuff targeted towards specific IE versions also worked in Opera. The downsides of being a browser no one cares about. Something working in opera doesn't mean it is standards compliant.

There were also the facts that IE was deeply integrated with the OS to the point where r was impossible to remove and MS had anti-competitive agreements with OEMs preventing them from providing Netscape bundled.

If you are using $ signs all over your code, they'd better refer to jquery and nothing else. jQuery has, for better or worse, become such an integral part of web development, the $ namespace is pretty much owned by it at this point. If

After lying that they would hold it in the summer by having air conditioned stadiums during their bid. None of the major professional leagues are happy about this. If the world cup remains in Qatar it's going to be a fiasco. http:&#x2

Why would Chinese hacktivists want to attack a project which increases their ability to get past the GFW?

Its not just Github though. There are a bunch of other companies who will take away the message that you don't mess with the Chinese gov't. Github is powerful and funded enough that they won't succumb. Its all the smaller web

How does my taking a company's advertising at its word and treating the unlimited service they provide as unlimited make me an asshole? The real problem is these companies want to eat their cake and have it too. They want to be able to

I think the problem is that the word unionization encapsulates many different things which should not necessarily be tied together. Collective bargaining, employees having a voice on the running of the business, legal and advisory services

Explorer does disclosure triangles (well, pluses in Windows's case) in the Folder tree side panel. It works better than incorporating it in the main view, IMO, but your mileage may vary.

It's a list of groups of people who are traditionally ignored by most companies, but are hired by this one. If Harvard grads were traditionally unemployable, but employed by this bakery, they would also be on the list along with felons

And keep in mind that 40% SAY they will hire. As seen in polls about racism (even anonymous polls) the actual number is probably a lot lower.
