I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted - here of all places. To me, it seems trivially true that Apple makes one decision regarding trade-offs (e.g.: iPhone thickness vs battery life) an everyone who doesn’t like it can only grin & bea

Better than falling back to #!hashbang / document fragment navigation - situation allowing - is falling back to a full web page load. (There is even tech allowing for graceful fallback to full form submissions in lieu of AJAX'd fo

Google Maps is famous as a pioneering use of AJAX, not as an SPA. Whether it is or is not an SPA at present is largely immaterial. There are many ways to create interactive experiences without full-page reloads, and going full SPA is just o

Sounds like you are desperately reading something into the original article which just isn't there. The author is clearly saying to skip the preprocessors, and this is a really backwards and ignorant position to take in 2015. CSS has a

Yes, hugely ironic. “Listen, these things are never black-and-white. [pause in which audience expects a call for careful consideration, case-by-case.] They are always white.”

First things first: This article presents a lovely sentiment — although any argument against CSS preprocessors is a losing one — and is a timely reminder to focus on the things that matter. However… When was this published? There’s no date

Well I can certainly hope they upped the honesty factor. (My experience is from 2010 & 2011. If the page you linked to is indeed the new version of the one I recall — is there no standalone App Engine status page? — then it’s certainly

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Doesn’t make my comment untrue. Or worth downvoting. If we don’t like the lies, what else can we do but call attention to them?

Does all the math littering this post add anything? "Add a few ms variation to each each scene" seems extremely self-explanatory, and so does the concept that only a few bits per scene are needed to produce a meaningful number of
