Our problem with TypeScript is not TypeScript but its community and ecosystem for the most part (I think that's a way I would put it).

Unix user permissions take care of that.

On Safari and Chrome, it displays the number of filters applied on the current site. This is (super) useful. If on Firefox you're getting a global count then that's a bug (so please report it on Github). Perhaps changing the color

OSX takes me about 40 minutes to install and I still speak pretty damn well about it.

Any web developer that is writing not just front-end code but also backend services or an APIs should have come across HTTP status codes and know the reason for their existence. I came across this quite early in my programming career when w

I hope you're wrong because I find it extremely discouraging that a major part of web developers would know nothing (or at least so little) about HTTP methods. For now, I'll take your post as anecdotal evidence until a proper su

Arch Linux + Pantheon DE was very buggy the last I checked. I ended up just installing ElementaryOS and regretting/missing having pacman. After a while I just gave up on eOS Luna and switched back to Arch Linux with a very minimally th

Not necessarily. My phone number when I go back home (if anyone wants to call me) is a different number from my whatsapp number (which is my UK number, where I live). When people want my Whatsapp number, I generally give them my UK number,

The Kernel coding style wasn't written a week ago. The first I read it, more than a decade ago, the GNU coding standards did matter and I remember feeling quite hurt by that (in a good way, since I don't think anybody took it th

Well, give them time. I also agree that Microsoft has the potential to be a big player in the future outside the enterprise "market". I think it will not just chase, but also innovate. The only drawback I see is while innovation i

OS X provides a user friendly interface on top of a unix like system. It's easy to develop for linux and unix-like systems in general on OS X. Not so much on Windows. Also, we like bash/zsh, and PowerShell doesn't appeal to m

It was my understanding (or interpretation) that Creative Commons Attribution could go in a different page. I normally add a Copyright or License link in the footer that leads to a page with a list of software and artwork used in the app. O

This would potentially allow you to change providers (O2->3, Vodafone->giffgaff) without needing to go to any physical shops. Just get a new contract online, apply it to your sim card. You get to also keep your number without having t

Not in your pocket.

We're talking about keeping a phone in your pocket. The pressure test was just that, a test. Because if it doesn't bend with that amount of pressure, it's probably, no, definitely not going to bend in your pocket. That said

It's not an unreasonable expectation seeing as a different phone of a similar form factor does not bend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FwM4...

Recently I prefer using ES6, and transpiling/compiling/translating (which would be the right word here?) to ES5. Browserify with es6ify has made the workflow quite easy (same as Browserify + coffeescript).

I've been in two interviews where they asked me to code without googling or looking at the reference. Personally, I think it's as absurd as writing shell scripts on a computer with no `man`, or without being able to refresh your m

If what you want is battery life, there are phones out there that last a couple of days on one charge (I'm thinking for example the Huawei Ascend Mate 2).
