ah, thanks for the explanation... I guess we probably need a "new_cool_term" namespace for every new/re-purposed term. Simply use "reactive" to refer to "async" already caused a name collision for me here.

Can't argue with the synchronous Java lib part, but for the callback hell, I believe RxJava is the answer.

Vert.x indeed looks pretty cool. But I found it a little bit weird that they used the term "reactive" in the title, but I'm not sure what the "reactive" is referring to: maybe Reactive Extensions, or at least RxJava

Technologically it's not a walled garden, but "business wise" - for lack of a better word- it is definitely a way to improve content consumption experience on Facebook, not for the general Internet at large.

Interesting to see how different companies address the "mobile web sucks" problem. Google is coming from the top, pushing for "the right way to do mobile web" for the entire Internet, while Facebook is building its own w

That's good to know. 5.7 seems a bit new though. Before 5.7, what are the common practice to query into json?

by fredliu 11y ago
How are they going to solve the problem of querying into the data that's stored as json? E.g. trying to find all pins whose "link" is from, say, reddit. Just pull out all data and filter them through in client side? That&#x27

I vaguely remember sama had a comment some time ago, kind of related to what you are saying here (paraphrasing here): "being contrarian is easy, being contrarian and right is hard." Working on a seemingly bad idea is being contrar

So does it mean it can be used with things like Rebound.js ( http://facebook.github.io/rebound-js/examples/ ) to provide spring like animation?

Super! Hopefully React Native + Parse will become my "one ring to rule them all" for app development.

by fredliu 12y ago
Great! I guess it wouldn't be a problem for common operations like data creation and fetching, since underneath it's all implemented through REST APIs. But what about push notification? Parse's JS library doesn't support

by fredliu 12y ago
Great news! One question: since FB just announced React+Parse, I wonder how's support for Parse in React Native? Or put it a better way, if I want to write an multi-platform app based on Parse, should I consider using React Native? or

Agree, I've observed the same for L on Nexus 5, and battery life is not the only problem there, there seems to be a system memory leak that constantly eating up free memory until even the launcher is killed... I had way more free memor

Interesting article. I'm not very familiar with baseball, but it seems to me the "moneyball" approach suits better for baseball than basketball. Although both are team sports, I kinda agree with Barkley that basketball relies

What "trend" are you referring to? "Cheating among Chinese students is pandemic." is the trend? So it used to be not "pandemic" but has become more and more so recently? That would actually be very interesting

by fredliu 12y ago
Thanks for the reference, at least you cared to search and show it! 10% of 25,000 for that particular exam does sound a lot, and that's probably why it made national news in the first place. Does it mean 10% of all Chinese students (in

"Cheating among Chinese students is pandemic." Care to give some reference and more clarification (Chinese students where? in US? China?) to back this up? Sounds similar to me to the same narrative as "Asians get good scores

Maybe computer science may not be considered "hard science"? but that level of salary for CS PhDs is not uncommon in tech firms.

"blatant and public", yes I agree with that, but I think this incidence also shows more of a level of incompetence: as owenmarshall pointed out, they have all the means of doing it "properly", but gets caught red handed

Another example is Mongoose. It's small, easy to config and embeddable(I've used Mongoose on android with NDK with no problem). Unlike H2O, Mongoose is using an old school one-thread-per-request approach, so I would expect the thr

IMO, if this is approved, would be a better deal than the failed Att-tmobile deal.

This was released almost 2 months ago, but still not exactly sure what this is for from either comments on G+ or in the play store.

We've seen in our work, that under high RTT, high packet loss rate (you can simulate similar effect by using things like dummynet, but it wont' be exactly what you'd expect on cellular network due to reasons mentioned in ATT

Glad that you brought up the critical rendering path, because SPDY uses single connection for all requests, once a packet loss/re-transmission happens, the entire connection's congestion window will be cut, which will affect all
