TypeScript is looked upon very highly by everyone at MS and I haven't seen any new projects started with vanilla JS in the last few years. No one needs to encourage anyone to use it. It's just the obvious choice for large projec

I've seen a lot of weird talk regarding using Service Workers to do things that don't make any sense to me. In this case, what good is all this code? The service worker only controls the page on subsequent visits, after the use

No I meant why would you expect it to be faster than bundling, not HTTP1. When writing articles like this, there should really be more detail. We're all the scripts just script tags in the html? AMD dependencies discovered as the tree

Without using server push or server hinting, why would you even expected http2 to be faster? But as you point out, the article doesn't mention using either of these and the HAR seems to back that up. Weird!

Has anyone demonstrated XSS attacks that work even when CSP is properly configured? Seems like all discussion of XSS now-a-days should be preceded with a note that you should go turn on CSP before worrying about any other form of preventio

Security dialogs like this don't work. No one reads them and in this case it isn't even asking users to make a decision they can understand. It's hard enough to have the right UI when a user is on a site with a broken SSL c

And what should browsers prompt users with? "Would you like to use WebRTC?" What would that do to improve security for users?

It's like the difference between TypeScript and ES6. The goals are intentionally aligned, and as the underlying platform adds support for the constructs that power TypeScript, it can continue to delegate more and more to the underlyin

Yeah, the creator of TypeScript was complaining about this in a presentation. I think the existing syntax "import X from Y" reads more naturally than "from Y import X" but obviously the latter is better for tooling and

What does it mean to balance requests across cores? To run T event loop threads/procs, where T is tied to the number of CPU cores? So like, a pre-forking, multi-proc, evented server? I actually can't think of a case where a mult

Evented io is great for extremely high concurrency, but that isn't always the right thing to optimize for. A forking web server might be faster for users depending on the application. Lastly, you can't just have an event loop wit

I love Cmder but went back to Console2 because I find it almost impossibly confusing to configure (there are 900 settings) and more importantly, it occasionally stops accepting input for ~5 seconds. I hope the Windows 10 native console impr

You should take a look at Azure Machine Learning, a product I work on at Microsoft: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/machine-learning/ The Azure organization, just like all of MS, takes privacy and d

Profundity? Strange, I would describe the stories he tells as being wonderfully shallow: there's a stillness about them that makes you feel more like you were just described a painting or an instant in time in a dream, not a narrative

The product is free to use with certain limits. If some of the limits are too restrictive for students, we should chat.

I gave this tutorial (and React) a shot, since I find the concept of server/client apps intriguing, but stopped reading halfway through the Flux documentation. I can't decide whether I love or hate React w/ Flux, but the one

I'm with this guy. How about "server/client apps?" It only costs 3 characters to actually convey information.

In practice, IE10 is totally fine. If you have to support IE9 and lower you shouldn't adopt flex box yet.

by altano 12y ago
If flex hasn't completely changed how you write layout related CSS, and it isn't because of legacy browser support, you're missing out. I also recommend this guide which is very visual and helped me a lot: http://c

flex-shrink dictates how negative free space should be distributed. When there is no free space, it is irrelevant. In addition to that, below a certain width, the CSS on the parent UL is being changed from flex-wrap: nowrap; to flex-wrap:

Actually that's not correct. The computed styles pane isn't telling you what font is being rendered. The Firefox Font Inspector is telling you what is actually being rendered on the screen. This is impossible to do with IE and
