I agree that it would be more informative to stress-test using a more real-world use case, I was just in a hurry and used the render benchmark from Mithril.js. however I think that any benchmark may be skewed to favor a particular implement

All of the examples past the first one are broken in Firefox. Also this seems like overkill, why introduce React when you could do the same thing with just the DOM API, with less overhead? And you get to learn about the underlying standard

I think that the vast majority of web apps could be deployed via shell script that calls out commands to the particular system. I'm not too optimistic about Docker since it is vastly more complex than the alternative (VM + shell).

There are a few companies using it in production (and I use it for my work as the author of it), I just haven't bothered to ask for permissions etc. I discussed with one of the ember core team about replacing ember-cli's http-mock

I'd say it's a bit more similar to ActiveModel + ActiveModel::Serializer, or Waterline & JugglingDB in the Node.js realm, in that they can be used for the same purpose but go about the problem differently. Looks like axiom is

Is there a reason why this is named Facebook PathPicker instead of PathPicker? It seems that the original author is giving up rights of their software to Facebook (it says copyright Facebook right in the license). What troubles me is that t

I was thinking that the only possible effect that this policy could have is the complete removal of outsiders (I consider myself one, rarely chiming in on HN), and eventually even insiders will simply migrate elsewhere for meaningful discus

Now that you bring it up, the JSON API specification does not even mention REST or hypermedia actually. What I was trying to get at is that media types don't have to be coupled to the protocol. One can exchange an HTML document over HT

Oh boy, cue the haters. I'd like to address a few things that JSON API gets right, and where it fails horrendously (just in time for 1.0!) The good: - It opens a path for standardized tooling among API clients. Rather than having a who

As a front-end developer, I cringed when I saw how much Telescope (or is it Meteor?) relies on global scope. To see what I mean, inspect the window object in their first example site http://crater.io/ Object.keys(window

Should there ever be any reason to trust your privacy to proprietary software running on a third party's server? Or is this "privacy standard" they are conforming to just another form of security theatre?

Not at all, and I did not mention SOAP. Most APIs on the web are not really RESTful, and the problem with the cowboy coder approach is that they appear productive but create tons of technical busy work that can't easily be automated.

I find that I can force myself to do a task that I extremely dislike, that is discipline. But an important prerequisite is motivation. Case in point: I could force myself to improve upon a real-time bidding algorithm, resulting in more winn

Passing basic HR filters is necessary for most job listings, and "equivalent experience" is harder to quantify than having a degree in the field from a name brand university. Also it is hardly a selling point to claim that one too

These are great tools to learn foundational computer science from outside of a classroom, but not an adequate substitute for a computer science degree (and I say this with no formal CS background myself). One could reasonably pace themselve

This API documentation has already been posted here twice today [1]. I remarked how non-RESTful this API is, which may have been the motivation for the title of this submission [2]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7

This more closely resembles a RPC (Remote Procedure Call) API, rather than adhering to REST principles. For example, making GET requests should only retrieve data and not mutate state, whereas in this API, there's GET requests to honk

So you are saying that we should abandon freedom of expression and attach IDs to anyone who has anything to say, in order to instigate retribution against those who disagree with your worldview? How will this not lead to censorship (and sel

I love how anonymity engenders such honest commentary. When people aren't tied down to their reputation/ego, they are free to say what they really think.

Ah, by the way, you shouldn't need to serve the front-end app from the same server as the API. By default, Fortune gives you CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing), so that clients from any domain can consume it. Also, Fortune should wor

Actually, one of my motivations to build this stems from Sails.js. Its ORM, Waterline, currently doesn't support associations between resources, so I built a persistence layer that does that myself. This is crucial because in order to
