I'm still trying to wrap my head around it after having read the "Getting Started" guide. How do you handle async items, like service calls? Do you perform them in your reducers or elsewhere? How do you represent persistence

I saw someone post this googleblog entry over a month ago on the Freenode ##re channel. Then it was quickly taken down again. I guess they must have pulled the trigger a little early.

It can take awhile for things to "click" with Vim before you really understand it. Start by reading this StackOverflow answer[0] titled, "Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi." Like that poster states, wh

Speaking of e2e browser extensions, does anyone know what the status of Google's "End-to-End" chrome extension[0] is? They started the project in June of 2014 and the development pace on the project has been somewhat slow. I

Gruber brought up how in Apple Maps, if you suggest a correction, you are eventually informed when the fix is made. However, with Radar, it is just a blackhole. You file your report and an awful lot of bugs, no matter how well written or e

If you listen to episode 146 of The Talk Show, John Gruber brings up this exact point to Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi (question starts at 48:15): https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2016/02/12/ep-146

He did touch on this point. He said that no matter what the outcome if this case is, real encryption is still just an app away. He then listed several 3rd party encryption apps.

Did you release your public IPv4 address? This isn't done automatically and I believe it is billed at 0.50€ per address while you are "holding on" to an unused address.

Don't get discouraged. Many companies don't do these kinds of interviews. I've been in almost a dozen programming interviews and maybe only 1/3 of them have taken the shape of programming whiteboard problems. Many just

I wonder if there is any work going on to go back to Chess and try these same techniques that were used in AlphaGo. It would be interesting to see how well this more generalized approach fairs against the hand-tuned final position policy co
