Ask yourself if you're building a website or a web application. The main difference in my mind is websites are static documents at the end of the day, allowing users to read text, while web applications are dynamic and often allow the

When you separate the web app from the server and build it as a stand-alone React codebase, you can create applications that run in the browser, iOS, Android (via Cordova / reapp) and cross-platform desktop operating systems (via Elect

Ruby suffers from a confusing set of overlapping features in Procs, Blocks and Lambdas. JavaScript's function passing is a lot less opaque.

I think it's beautiful that we've reached a point in society where we can work on trivial things, and I hope we can bring everyone along for the ride. My wife purchased about a dozen LED candles. I like them because they're a

Websites vs. Web Apps. Websites are static documents. Web Apps use the browser as a runtime for a UI application.

This, for us too. We've moved on from LastPass for teams, 1password is far nicer.

I agree with you completely. The web became an OS because there's a huge demand for cross-platform zero-install software applications that run in a sandbox without dangerous user level access to your machine.

I agree with the article, it really does feel like something special is happening in the city. I work at TWG, a software dev agency in Toronto and we've worked closely with many of these startups and are pretty well connected to the st

I think it's quaint that DHH feels the ability to use "concerns", basically Ruby's module feature, is a sharp knife. I guess it upsets the "there are only three possible places to put your code" utopia.

So nobody's really using anything unless they use it exclusively? I guess nobody's using anything then. Google isn't using Go. Microsoft isn't using C#.

Guitars are expensive, you don't already have them, plus you need an amp. Then you either need to convince your friends to buy instruments and form a band (or join one), or buy a bunch of expensive recording equipment because recording

You're halfway there, because React is the V but there's no MVC. That design pattern isn't common in the ecosystem, and instead a functional, unidirectional design pattern called Flux is a better fit. Searching for MVC trips

I thought the same thing. Even if I was at a Python shop, I wouldn't want to hire people who only wanted to work in Python. Seems like an inflexible mindset.

No need to get worked up. As a counter-point, I have built "real time" web apps and Feathers was exactly what I'm looking for and matches my mental model for what that word means.

Yes, Feathers relies on either Socket.io or Primus (your choice) for the websocket interface, both of which provide auto-reconnect with back off out-of-the-box.

The core product doesn't ship any of them, so you can choose the _one_ you need, or provide your own implementation by satisfying their well-designed service interface: http://docs.feathersjs.com/services/readme.ht

No, the word faster means an increase by that amount. 100% faster means twice as fast. 1x faster means twice as fast. 100% as fast means no change. 1x as fast means no change. English, you subtle trickster!
