There is always Grid Style Sheets[1] if you want to try it out. It is based on the same algorithms as iOS constraint engine[2] AFAIK. Unfortunately it has to compute the constraints using javascript as its not native. [1]: https:/&#x2

You're not disagreeing with him. Thing is, even if you get AWS for free, you're better of minimizing your living expenses and spending that extra money on other aspects of your business to get it going.

Completely agree. Run Linux on the desktop which mostly "just works" with a few minor tweaks required now and then. Laptops though? Forget about it. Abysmal battery life, constant issues with waking from sleep, driver issues, trac

I agree here. Personally I am much more likely to snap a ton of photos if each shot costs me 10 cents versus 1 dollar.

This. You already know you're using a Dell machine. There is not point to advertise to the user. You might want to advertise to everyone else and put it on the back of the lid, which is fine, but I just want a clean bezel. It's th

I guess I understand that for simple component. The checkbox here is a good example where the value is the state, so there is no use in keeping an extra copy of it. Same would be with a slider component or whatever. But when it comes to mor

Can someone explain to me the usefulness of "stateless" components? Doesn't thing just mean that you have moved the state outside of the components themselves, they are not really stateless. For example, their dropdown menu t

I second this. When I wrote my first frustum cull method it opened up so many other possibilities. After clipping, I would say look into writing a quadtree (2d) followed up by an octree (3d). Even though quadtree's are confined to a si

So am I understanding this correctly, but this is not a compatibility layer where we can run native linux applications on windows, instead it's like cygwin where we can run ported applications, only this one uses pacman for distributio

I think you're right, but what they are saying is that it is irrelevant because the drives/blocks are failing due to age, and not amount of write cycle.

Does that mean we live in a happy utopia where 95% of the tedious/dangerous work has been taken care of and we instead get to spend our time focusing on what we find inspirational/creative, or do we live in a dystopia where 95% of

Is that really a 'horrible' experience? Once you've googled 5.x and you know it's Lollipop, do you not memorize that? I mean how often do you check your phone for what version of the OS it's running?

I don't think the sentiment is 'implement everything from scratch', but rather that if something exists natively try to use that instead of pulling in other dependencies, like in the http client example.

by edvinbesic 11y ago
I found this approach to work well for me as well. It has payed off many times. I try to wrap most of my dependencies so that if I later feel like I need to pick some low-hanging fruit I can implement some of the functionality internally wh

In the sense that you would have root access to your phone and could potentially run any linux app that compiles to ARM.

by edvinbesic 11y ago
I think that was the general idea, but as I recall the phones did not review very well which is a bummer since you can't just pick a device you want and install ubuntu phone on it.

This would be very interesting. Imagine plugging your android phone into a dock and getting the ChromeOS GUI instead of Android but having access to all the same data and services. Now imagine we could run crouton and get full access. You c

I have done some tests, not on a 15 but a fully specced retina 13 (mid 2014 model). If I am running a couple of iTerm windows, chrome for the dev tools (even though this eats up more battery then safari) with a couple of tabs open and subli

The one thing that intrigued me about Atom is that it would actually run in the browser, meaning somebody would create a version you could load up in chrome/safari/firefox and connect to your github account etc. However I haven&#x

This thing is awesome. Does this mean that we can now finally upgrade the GPU of our laptop by buying next years keyboard dock? If they sold that separately in the future it would be a killer feature!
