This graceful degradation doesn’t make sense in the application world. I know that’s not what the web was initially designed for, but this is what the web has evolved into. It’s now an application platform just as much as a document platfor

This way of thinking just isn’t aging well. HTML is the view part of the web, and it turns out users want more application-like behavior and developers want to build applications and not websites. Caveat, this is still only true for some ap

I would hardly say we have peaked. I think there’s plenty left to discover. I think the web was vastly behind other user interface systems and just took a decent jump with Angular and React. There’s a lot left to discover though.

That’s exactly what a shared library is right? It’s not crazy, it’s existed for a very long time.

That doesn't really apply to enterprise software. There are no ads there.

I don't agree with making tickets to come back and fix things. Lots of times changing a line in a file points out how smelly it is. If it can be fixed there, I say give it a shot. Sometimes "I'll open a ticket" is code f

APIs are even more important for SPAs. It's not like more rich JS front ends obviate the backend.

Those examples both seem a little like nitpicking. The argument that something is not like C is particularly interesting to me, because C has arguably the most obtuse and unintuitive syntax out there. We just accept it as normal because we&

Elixir and Ruby are so different, they shouldn't even be allowed to be compared. If you don't think so, try and write some medium-sized code challenges in both and see how different the implementations come out (try more than 3 be

Definitely do whatever you think is easier in your workflow. Not everyone uses lodash, but I know a lot of people that prefer to do mapping / filtering of JSON in an actual programming language. That doesn't make one way better or

That gets you decently far, especially with small JSON responses. You can't filter with any tree display though, which is what I normally reach to jq for. Being able to filter an array of objects down to only one property in each objec

Re-read my previous comment. An assembly instruction can map to one of a set of machine instructions, but only one. Said another way, when you write: MOV eax, 5 This will map to _either_: 110111 _or_ 110110, but _not_ both in sequence.

There's a bit of a miscommunication going on. What I meant was, when you write an assembly instruction, that maps to one machine instruction. I.e., because of things like addressing modes, different invocations of an ADD instruction ca

Can you point to a source for this? All x86 assemblers that I know of map one assembly instruction to one machine instruction.
