Cool! I'm not too familiar with Go, but I have a weird affinity for custom elements. I wish that I'd see cool projects that involve them more regularly, but the community seems relatively insulated. I'll have to take a deeper

>We used it, but once you start using libraries like that one or MobX, why even use React at all? Well, you've got a point. I can realistically see some developers preferring to piece-meal their front end solution though, or build j

You most likely certainly can with nothing to worry about. 99.99% of the world's developers will never need to sue Facebook for patent infringement. That is, unless Facebook begins reverse patent-trolling. But I see it as more of a dec

I'd argue that google is pretty strong when it comes to frameworks, and that most of their criticism comes from people who aren't looking for a framework, but rather a library (like React). And Polymer isn't even really eithe

> First reason is we hate JSX. It forces you to write loops, conditionals, etc, outside of the markup you are currently writing/reading. It's like writing shitty PHP code without templates. You could theoretically write some te

VR will dominate entertainment, AR will dominate industry. Although I can see AR taking up some of the entertainment space as well (Pokemon Go for example). I really want a VR Hollywood film experience. One I can watch over and over and not

If anyone is interested in jumping straight in to GraphQL, I recommend graph.cool. It was posted a while back when the service was first released. Their free developer tier is awesome, and their project tier is completely reasonable.

What is the point of this comment? If you want to create a tiny static web page for which the benefits of a service worker are nominal, then do it and stop worrying about it. That's not the purpose of service workers anyways.

Eh. Cognitive exercises don't hurt, even if the knowledge gained isn't particularly useful. Just because something is entertaining doesn't mean it won't stretch your critical thinking muscles. I guess define "smart&

It is also useful for low-bandwidth or intermittent-bandwidth situations (i.e. poor network coverage).

Unfortunately for Edge/Windows, in order to make the app installable it will have to be registered in the Windows Store. A small nuisance, and maybe a compromise that Safari/OSX could move towards, but still a pointless exercise t

Well, this is ironic.

I'm not sure what the idea even means, or if it really warrants a separate paradigm than OOP. Is it related to category theory? Frustrated that a 'new' paradigm got dropped on me with only a couple sentences of explanation.

Agreed. People can talk freely. People can also be dismissed freely. Freedom of speech, freedom of market.

You've made a lot of claims. Do you have any evidence to support these: - Facebook's 1% owning 99% of its wealth - The economy of nation states mirrors that of its corporations (and not the other way around) - Social environments

Did you read the details? I disagree. The dev is probably better off not working in such a volitile environment. They'll be better off working somewhere where they can learn some best practices, possibly somewhere that doesn't hav

I was glad to see that Raph Koster is still puttering about. Star Wars Galaxies soaked up many hours of my time as a teenager.

If I could program while exercising I would be incredibly productive. I normally go for a run after work, during which my brain gets a "second wind" and becomes super active in a way similar to how I feel in the morning. Once I&#x

I guarantee you that the majority of Americans are immediately on board with free education once they realize the alternative is a lifetime of welfare. As far as how many scientists and engineers we need? Virtually infinite if you're c

Neither is unlimited leisure. I'm proposing the former in place of the latter.

Educate them with all of the free time created from automation, then put them back in to the work force.

Without bots, I doubt that /r/place would have been very interesting. It's a nice thought that a million random strangers can be cohesive without automation, but for some reason I don't find that to be particularly reali
