Only one reason: Greed Homeowners want to see their investment appreciate, plain and simple, and will do anything and make up any justification to impede development so as to reduce supply and increase home values. Pretty much any argument,

Speaking for myself, the key selling point for Typescript (and Flow) is its pragmatism. While it might not have the soundness of a Bucklescript or Purescript, it does what its alternatives have chiefly failed to do for me: Allow me to see i

I for one like the fact that different national space agencies are going with completely different approaches. I doubt that the skycrane used for the NASA's Martian Science Lab mission could be accomplished on a shoestring JAXA budget.

As much as I hate to admit it as a dedicated AV fanatic: this is very much true. The simple fact is that most people don't really care about sound quality and the 'good enough' sound they get out of TV speakers or a soundbar

You are right, sorry. When I first read it I internalized it as meaning to say that Performance is not an extra feature that you tack on to an existing web app (like you would implement say an offline mode as part of an update) but rather s

Great read. This could have just as well been titled "Guidelines for Web Design That Respects The User" or "Web Design that Doesn't Suck" Summarizing: 1. Don't break accessibility 2. Clearly label hyperlinks 3.

That would be amazing! But you're right in that we'd need vastly improved technology before we can get there. I tried oculus desktop with the rift, and all I ended up with was a blurry, unreadable display and a headache. We have a

"To remedy the situation, the coalition urges Congress to invest in housing assistance." Of course their answer is federal subsidies. Never mind that regulations can be passed at the local level to ameliorate the situation -- with

The most salient point that the article breaches is this: When people unfamiliar with the DOM, javascript, or indeed in some cases programming itself try to 'pick up' a complex low level data visualization library like D3, it is n

Idris has a really neat feature called 'Holes' that does exactly this. I wish it could be implemented in every language on earth.

Me too! I was so hyped up about it that I got myself a ThinkPad X1 Yoga with an OLED display. But wish I'd realized sooner that putting an amazing display in a shit laptop still leaves you with .... a shit laptop.

If you have a newer webOS tv, clicking on the 'apps' button should take you to an overlay that displays ads along with the installed apps in a row at the bottom.

I've only used GraphQL (with Relay) on fairly large apps but in my experience the number of apps that don't benefit from some sort of client side state management tends to fall into a very small window. Introducing state managemen

They mention it in the article but forgot the caveat in the title: How GraphQL[1] Replaces[2] Redux [1] Or any well designed back end API [2] For some narrow, often simple applications. And even in those cases it usually doesn't

Very briefly: operations like Transpose, Strided Slice, Padding, and batching are standard operations used to build Convolutional Neural Networks, which is in turn is a standard building block for a vast array of machine learning applicati

You wouldn't choose it over haskell every time, but for the limited subset of times where you need to write frontend code ReasonML has distinct advantages. ReasonML is basically OCaml that compiles to JS, designed to make interoperatio

Free content, sure. But also ads for penile enhancements and dialog boxes that go "Congratulations! You've won $100,000 in Amazon gift cards! Click here quick [obvious phishing link] to claim your prize!". Scams, pure and sim

I'm not so sure that's true. The mitigations they're doing seems to work very well for all sorts of form factors. I've been using a dell UP3017Q OLED monitor as my main display for most of last year and haven't had

Portals are like one of those ideas (like all great ideas) that are incredibly useful but seem obvious in retrospect. Thank you facebook and the react team for all your hard work!

I have an X1 Carbon from work. Overall an OK windows laptop, but man does the eink(?) touch strip thing suck. While I think that the Macbook version will be far superior, I hope they manage to solve its glaring shortcomings. Some observatio

I tried mapping jj to esc, but even after a few days I couldn't really get used to it. Always drove me crazy when it would switch modes when I just intended to type 'jj' as a variable name in loops. At least it got me to use

for...of is more flexible. While forEach is a method on Array.prototype, for...of is a consistent syntax that can be used in more places. For instance, iterables: function *myIterable (v) { while(--v) yield v } let launchCountd

You might be thinking about miles per UK (Imperial) Gallon, rather than US Gallon. 1 UK gallon = 1.2 US gallon. Even a new 2015 Civic only gets around 32 Miles per US gallon.

I'm not sure how much damage being able to use computers without Microsoft Office by itself has done to people's perception of Microsoft. I'm more convinced that having, for the first time since the days of Amigas and AppleII's, major comp

To be fair, the comparison might not be entirely accurate since it is possible to 'plus one' something while just being a gmail/youtube user -- without necessarily being an active google+ user.
