Electron actually gives you quite a bit of free help for power consumption. The Chromium team goes through great lengths to save power and most of those efforts get reflected in Electron. For example, when it the app gets put in the backgro

Wow this is a huge deal. They devised a way to solve hard math problems (large number factorization) with physics itself, and were able to validate it against novel factorization algorithms. Mapping number theory to quantum physics is no sm

Given that the best savings / MMA accounts are netting at most 1.10%, and inflation has swung between ~1% and 3% over the past 10 years, you're likely losing money with a savings account. Better to dump it in a major index fund or

Wow! The new version of V8 "…reduces peak memory consumption of on-heap memory up to 40%." and reduces "…off-heap peak memory usage by up to 20%". As the author of a large Electron app that has huge implications downstre

It's also really useful to add naming conventions that convey how expensive something is. For example: myObject() // Returns immediately always getMyObject() // Might do some light calculation fetchMyO

Think about how much time people spend in front of 24" screens with a keyboard. "Desktop", or whatever that evolves into, is overwhelmingly where real work still gets done. For as critical as that environment is in the modern

There's also a lot of similarity with Rx.JS and observable based (aka "Reactor") patterns: Rx.Observable.fromTime().subscribe(tick) Rx.Observable.fromSocket(mySocket).subscribe(handleEvent) https://gi

It's amazing what you can do with redstone these days. YouTube effectively turned into the GitHub of redstone. I can't imagine how much more powerful this could be if you could "fork", "clone", and "pull r

For as much as I love the dream of high-speed rail linking our great metropoli, the thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars to build out a network like that is daunting, especially when a flight from BOS to DC already costs $36

This probably can be significantly helped from a UI design perspective. As more and more services auto-shrink links for readability there may not be as much of a compelling need to shorten links. Why in 2016 must we keep displaying everythi
