   Yeah, considering switching to Netflix US + VPN. Only decent content here (Ireland) is the Netflix Originals stuff.

   Two years is a lifetime in tech. This isn't a mainline consumer product even though they may market it as such. A few hardcore gamers and VR enthusiasts will buy this, slightly more will get to experience this through a friend who has

   I'm previously a Djangonaut too but recently I've been exclusively JS. I spent a few hours playing with this yesterday and I really like it. It was pleasing (and a little surprising) that everything was almost exactly how I expe

   The author is simply highlighting the disconnect between critics ratings and audience ratings for Netflix shows.

   Yeah my rMBP uses an embedded Intel graphics card. The performance is horrible, ~2 fps, tried FF and Chrome.

   It's very laggy and slow on a quad i7 16GB Macbook Pro. Presumably this is because of the retina display.

   In reality, the general public has no idea what SpaceX is either.

   Perhaps it's fixed on the master branch but it's broken on the websites live transpile thing (which is where I tested it).

    Watch out for lexical binding with arrow functions. It could lead to some nasty bugs if you blindly transpile your old code.

    I have experience with profiling the `delete` keyword. It slows down post-deletion access to the parent object significantly. Generally, I avoid using it and instead set the value to `null`. Technically, this creates a memory-leak because t

    I agree. It would be nice to see a format like Sublime Text's pseudo animated GIFs [0] take off. It's not perfect because it requires JS + PNG + JSON and currently the python build scripts only work well on linux. If other tools s

    Is there anything that Promethease doesn't already provide?

    I wonder could this potentially be used with Electron or nw.js?

    For spread operators? Sure. Adding a build step to your process adds other hurdles though in terms of indirection, particularly when collaborating.

    At least go can be searched for with 'golang'.

    Yeah, as someone who works with Electron, the naming is often frustrating for doing Google searches. Wished they had stayed with atom-shell for that reason.

    I'm back from a month in Berlin and found lots of reasonably priced apartments available. Price was generally lower than other European destinations that I've used Airbnb with. I booked the accommodation a month in advance of the

    I don't believe this is true, can you provide a source? Tesla was running out of cash at the end of 2008 and private investors saved them. The government loan was in early 2010. I don't believe that there is any evidence that Tesl

    I agree, most of the code in the library is for element navigation. Why not open-source that and let people define their own CSS props. By the way, I believe it uses the `outline` CSS property as opposed to `border` (border changes layout,

    I'm not here to defend the guy but it seems we know nothing (spot the pun) about why Victoria was fired. It may have been completely reasonable, it may not. It may have been a unilateral decision by Alexis but I honestly doubt it, thes

    You're contradicting yourself, you say that "Not once did he come forward and say it was him" and then you say Alexis publicly admitted it himself. My point is that we don't really know why she was fired (and why should

    All this is speculation. For good reason, it is not public information who fired Victoria or why. I doubt it was a one-person decision though.

    Typescript compiles down to ES5, so yes you can write in ES5 but it's not as pretty. You can create a class the standard way using `prototype` and from memory the annotations look something like this: MyComponent.annotations = [

    I find it fascinating how the speed of light, quantum indeterminacy and Planck's length could all be seen as allegories for computational optimisations in a simulated universe. This is something that I've thought about for some ti
