Also, if you're already using redux+sagas, having a saga that manages the connection and messages makes it pretty easy to implement RTC, websockets, http2 push, or whatever your favorite flavor is.

I never thought about it until yesterday, when my daughter asked that we take a "selfie" together; I thought it was a great picture and put it on Instagram. Later she wanted to browse through my pictures and asked me, shocked: &qu

You hit every single point I tried to make to my friend about half an hour ago. On one hand, I'm terrified that all of this will come to pass; on the other, if this is like any of Google's other projects, it's going to evapor

Or worse, a hybrid like Assassin's Creed Odyssey: a $60+ game that gets super grindy, but reminds you that you can opt into micro-payments to get a little experience or coin boost... I really enjoyed it for the first 20 hours or so.

I just replaced my wife's failing 2013 MBP; meanwhile, my 2009 MBP with "real" parts (I upgraded the RAM, swapped out the battery, and replaced the HDD with an SSD), is chugging along quite happily, validating my hatred of th

Back when I was TEST's training director, my favorite thing to do was lead squads of about a dozen people in either alliance-provided free rifters, or any T2 frigates people wanted to bring. Great learning for the newbies; easy to repl

Because sometimes one doesn't want to host a platform for, say, Holocaust denial. Platforms can, and should, moderate speech pursuant to the values of the company, which _can_ mean anything from heavy moderation to none at all. People

You can also turn off the ads by opening the menu and clicking "Ask to open in App?".

I thought I was going crazy, or maybe I was just messy or something. I've got a 2017 (maybe 6 months old), and I've lost 'u', 'c', and a couple other keys - they only work if I press down hard. I usually dock i

When I worked there, it mostly came down two two things that leaked into every product: anti-abuse (spam mostly), and ads/tracking. Anti-abuse is useful to keep secret because it includes tools that make spammers think they're suc

Facebook owns Instagram, so that's no good either, if you're trying to avoid it. There's surprisingly little backlash against Facebook-owned entities.

I personally don't, and can't, use it because my family's too large and the economics outweigh the time (and besides, I like planning and cooking.) I suspect this limits their expansion - I don't see how it can break bel

I cook most of the meals as well. I do 90% of my shopping at traditional grocery stores, and use the weekly farmer's market as a way to experiment over the weekends. At least in SF, they're high quality and typically have a wide v

When they announced integrated streaming, I was excited- until I saw I had to link Facebook, which was a huge disappointment. I use Facebook for sharing pictures of my kids and family stuff, and I have no interest in either sharing my strea

Nice - I built something similar a few years ago, mostly to mess around with CSS columns ( http://thejacklawson.com/csswords/ ). I only used a regex over the system dictionary, so it doesn't include a lot of what it

Reddit has been through a lot . (I went through three CEOs during my 3-year tenure there.) At this point, I can't imagine a scandal worse than spezgiving- the only way Reddit will die is a slow fade into irrelevance, rather than a Dig

I used to covet my friend's Dell due to the lack of bezel (after making fun of his laptop choices for years.) Then - we got on a video call. To compensate for the bezel, the webcam is on the BOTTOM of the monitor... which meant looking

SC-wise, It's easy to stay away from the drama, especially if one notes that they spun up a team from 0 and have been at it for four years, compared to the 8+ years of other major MMOS. But yeah, it's pretty taxing - it takes a gt

create-react-app doesn't support server side rendering. There are apps that don't need that- but I believe SSR should be the default, not the edge case. create-react-app is a bundle of configuration. Configuration you'll like
