I really want them to fix scrolling in the left rail. Frequently it fails to scroll until you explicitly click in the panel. Having to do this breaks the entire point of background scrolling

The downside of polymer is that it doesn't really play nicely with modern toolchains.

This reminds me of the complete lack of security in ADS-B transmissions from aircraft. See an interesting DefCon talk from a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXv1j3GbgLk

To add on to the text note, it's actually even more annoying with Canvas to draw it correctly. None of the major browsers implement a TextMetrics object (the return of ctx.measureText) that has anything more than the width of the text.

Cool! I built something similar to the find tool for a friend. However, it's for RNA and specifically for looking for a region that could base pair as part of an RNA secondary structure interaction. It allows you to search for all poss

This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure of the feasibility. Wouldn't the salt water lake simply keep increasing in salinity as the water evaporated? I know that desalination is mentioned in the article, but it's unlikel

I recall seeing a test compile of some C++ code to WebAssembly instead of JS and on Chrome it was an order of magnitude slower than the JS version. Has the performance increased lately?

The canvas page [1] has incorrect defaults listed for the width. It states that the default is 100 but it is actually 300 [2]. 1. http://htmlreference.io/element/canvas/ 2. https://developer.mozilla.org

You are correct. I'm not sure what the eventual pricing strategy will be.

There are a number of cool online circuit simulation tools and some are quite powerful. Full disclosure: i am on the team building Multisim Live ( https://beta.multisim.com ) which is in this space.

The portion of the article regarding The Innovators Dilemma is very important. It's easy to get so focused on the enthusiastic users that you forget about everyone else. Balancing between those two concerns is hard, and it's even

Polymer works very well for it's use case, but it is very difficult to make it work with tools like webpack. It ends up requiring what feels like a lot of hacks. SystemJS seems to be a bit easier to work with since there is a plugin fo

I'm going to second the library idea. If you have a library released and get a few users, you'll start getting bug reports, feature requests, etc. You'll be able to show companies that you were able to manage work effectively

I think the issue was that I was installing from a Mint 17 bootable USB but I needed the driver to be able to upgrade to 18. The ethernet controller is an Intel I219-LM (rev 31). The driver source that worked was https://download

Just set up linux on a machine recently with an Intel network chipset. Mint had no driver that supported it so I ended up having to build from source. I can't imagine trying to understand that process if one is not a developer

It's definitely hard to do but tools like Selenium and Selendroid can make it easier (assuming you have someone who has the time and energy to set it up). Once you have system level tests running, then adding some phones or low-end mac

I wonder how that affects creating a fork of it. At what point does it become different enough that you can safely distribute it

Probably because they're much cheaper. Plus, it's easy to manually adjust the cycle (or add things at a later point) since you don't need to drain it to open the door.
