Oh I also forgot async/await "The purpose of async/await functions are to simplify the behavior of using promises synchronously and to perform some behavior on a group of Promises. Just like Promises are similar to structure

Promises and, more recently, Observables. Simply put: A promise resolves to a single value asynchronously, an observable resolves to (or emits) multiple values asynchronously (over time). Taken from here: http://stackoverflow.com

Agreed but when you look at the Dutch diet, it really is not good. I mean sprinkles on toast really is not food. However the assumption is that, you as a child, will get to school by walking or cycling and you will get around for most of yo

That's an interesting one I had not considered. Culturally living in a cold environment and not wrapping up warm will have an effect on calorie burn.

I think we focus on diet over environment too much. It isn't just what you eat but how you get around that is vital to tackling the cardiovascular epidemic. The only evidence that I currently have available is the Netherlands. The only

Focusing on the bicycle, there is huge effort going into electric bicycles around battery and powertrain technology Ebikes enable people that would not cycle in 'hilly' cities to use bicycles as a way of getting around. The key pr

This has been solved and it's not so much a technology thing as a built environment thing. By 2030, the Netherlands will have an obesity rate of 8.5% DOWN from 10% http://www.ukhealthforum.org.uk/who-we-are/our-w

As with any JS framework, much of what you want to achieve with it, has a lot to do with the number of developers building packages to make things easier. There is a lot going for React because a lot of effort is going into the world of Rea

Honestly I had hoped Angular 2 (with iminent release of 4) would be the holy grail. It took soo long to come out, I dabbled in React and have not looked back. However I'm under no illusions that "this is it". Vue is definitel

Sorry I was just commenting on the need to appeal to 'normal' people who find the idea of cycling too much effort and too sweaty. Electric bikes need docking stations but usually a charge will last at least 40 miles. More than eno

Primarily it's the fear of being asked back in a couple of years to add features to your own code ;)

Yeah, I've seen contractors walk into the PM's office on day one and tell them how they should be running their project to be fired an hour later. I never get that attitude. Then again I do get extensions on a regular basis ;)
