Much of React-Routers problems can be traced to the fact that it uses React components as its API. Yes, there's an alternative API in v3, but it doesn't seem to be very well thought through and is hardly ever used in examples. Ano

I'd also point out that Virginia tech's campus is fairly rural flat terrain so the risk of running into anything or getting shot down by miscreants is pretty low.

Well.. as a client interface HTML/CSS/Javascript have all been fairly anaemic compared to what is possible with native interfaces. Once you've worked with a native interface, you're loathe to give up the potential for cr

It seems to me that specialised tools will usually be released as a product, because they're only for a specialised niche. Relational databases are treated like they can store any kind of data, and for small data sets, it really doesn&

Orange and dark blue are names we give to perceived frequencies of light. Dark blue isn't really any 'darker' in terms of energy content spectrum than orange is, its our brains that have evolved to make this association that

I think its pretty funny that the word 'enormous' is actually being applied to a two-bedroom. Outside of the cities and expensive suburbs, most people get a 3 bedroom house at a minimum, and people paying $2000 a month will get a

At a glance, it looks like all languages are reasonably well loved except PHP and Node.js (shouldn't this just be Javascript? Does having a different standard lib make it a different language?) I think that's due to people having

From one point of view, Christianity is more of a culture than a purely religious thing. Books use allusions to the Bible, even if their authors and readers aren't very religious. People pay lip service to the idea of God (singular, ca
