My Thinkpad T440S from 2014 works almost great under Ubuntu 14.04. Everything's going properly (keyboard, battery, etc) but the Wifi is not. Seems like a RTL8192EE isn't a linux' first class citizen :/ Btw I tried differ

I only do that on the client, and yes, as a matter of facts, things are rerendered each time. But we are talking of a couple uls with <10 elements, frankly the eye doesn't catch anything at all... Honestly, the real damage of this

Understanding is a far more important part of learning in my opinion. You know where repetition is really important? In sport. Muscle memory really work that way, with a "conscious enabled" repetition. But for learning? Frankly yo

On the ambiguous line between view and controller: a piece of code belongs to the controller when it touch the model, and to the view when it touch the DOM, the corollary being "don't write code that touch both the controller and

Thanks for the context. It appears that it's more a matter of business model than an effective superiority of java over webdev for doing UI. We, as developers working for companies that sells enterprise software "on the shelf&quot

I'm honestly curious: can you give some real examples of UI components that you customers blatantly refused when built in HTML/CSS/JS and praised when it was native? What was that? Sliders, exotic buttons, reactive graphs? Wh

@ChuckMcM, your assignment on market theory is nicely put. I particularly like the idea of the sudoku part as a way to get raw materials. Get some crypto there and here and gateways with the "real" economy, and... you know what I

My 2cents. Don't be fooled by this false sense of know-how when you just start being able to write some html/js stuff. Googling a problem is a reflex when you start coding, and yes, good or bad googling abilities could be the diff

Is there a list out there of open-sourced stuff like this? I've been searching for such editors to embed on some of my projects, but with no luck yet.

I was not trying to be mean on slackware users, nor implying that slackware isn't a capable distro. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I implied that, when a distro is missing dependency management, it should be the last on your pick

Yes, this is all about maintainability. When you are on all fronts the last thing you want is to fight with your distro.

Great stuff you brought here, thanks for that. Did you think about giving some clues on dedicated servers as well? Looks to me that "cloud" offers may be convenient for a lot of use cases, but nothing can still beat the power&#x2F
