I'm surprised nobody has mentioned AngelList yet. Well, that's not quite true. I saw a few mentions of AngelList itself but nothing about what I feel is their killer feature for job searching: their salaries tool https:/&#x2

I'd personally love to see a ROM that focuses less on customizations and adding their own "flavor" to Android, and just attempts to track AOSP as closely as possible while supporting as many devices as possible, so users whos

All three of the points raised are just dismissing the root of the problem and offering a "solution" using plain CSS classes that relies on everybody following some bespoke convention to work around the problem rather than address

In my mind the answer is in building decentralized apps/services. A DDoS on a static site cached on just about any CDN that runs logic exclusively on the client is much harder to pull off successfully because it's so much cheaper

Really? I've used mine for a little over a year as a PC display and the burn-in has come to a point where I'm thinking of just throwing it out because nobody in their right mind would pay money to get it off my hands. Do you happe

For regular TV usage, it's probably fine, but I would not recommend buying one to use as a PC monitor. I did that about a year ago, and I really regret it. Burn in patterns are everywhere, and especially visible in red channels, so the

Any plans for Azure Storage support? They seem to have much cheaper archival storage than the competition, offering $0.002/GB, amounting to $2 per TB, which is half the price of Glacier. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-u

The challenge then, as with essentially every language that doesn't use persistent data structures _as the default_, is having to recursively convert to and from those persistent data structures at the edges of your system where you ne

Agreed on all points, but I'd just like to point out the main reason inline objects and inline functions is a perf antipattern in React is not garbage collection pressure, but rather the fact that they invalidate perf optimizations lik

JIT isn't really compiling the runtime performance penalty of the Proxy "away" though. JIT compilation still involves a runtime performance penalty of the JIT compilation step itself, that has to be traded off against the run

It's not possible to pre-compile away the dynamic part of a Proxy's behavior. For instance, if you were to receive a random string over some network call and set that on a proxified object, how would you pre-compile the Proxy away

Exactly this. I take a hard stance against abbreviation in our team's codebases not solely because people might have trouble understanding what they mean (though when you take abbreviation to the extreme, i.e. words to single letters,

Immer is excellent. It makes deeply nested immutable updates a breeze. The API almost makes it feel like you're programming in a fantasy-land future where JavaScript's default data structures were persistent data structures like a

Not trying to make any value judgement of my own here, but I think the parent was more referring to the marginal cost/benefit of a $60 font compared to some of the free options available.

I actually remember running into this issue a lot when building Docker images. Generally you want your docker image to be reproducible so you'd want to lock versions of your dependencies. But when doing this with apt-get install, a lot

My personal major pain point with Apollo is with the need to manually manipulate the cache to keep it in sync after a mutation that adds or removes an item from a list, which feels really clunky and error prone compared to the much more ele
