The things I'm curious about with Shadow Dom: - How does it affect performance, if say, a large application is composed of many shadow dom elements, each containing a large amount of redundant CSS? - Will there be a way to let certain

React does not use Shadow Dom. And React is not related to CSS first-hand, though people are trying apply the same modularization principles of DOM encapsulation to the CSSOM. Not only that - there's a lot of implication that come with

> dull minded annotations Is scandox making an assertion here? Could be, or perhaps it's a just a meager judgement. Whether or not he/she really thinks this is a pleasant first experience is open to question.

I would argue that's fair. Somebody might come along and suggest you GraphQL all the things, but the flux-flavors mostly tend to be focused more on the use of state in applications and less so across the wire. And Backbone's colle

You gotta imagine it from an old-time SF residents perspective, though. A lot of people have seen their friends get pushed out by the rent situation, and slowly, places like the Castro are becoming less beacons of the gay pride community an

It's also the fact that elemental mercury's toxic side effects are really hard to quantify and see because it fucks up the central nervous system, and is of more psychological detriment. Note that this is elemental mercury, not me

The closest is ckeditor, I think. But that's still a long shot away. Notion is actually really well constructed (as somebody who's been in the space building tools kinda like it for a while, it's quite impressive). But I agre

Ah, cool! Yes, I completely agree. I'm actually working on something a bit like this which puts blocks of content as the building block. It's ideal in an educational authoring platform - since you can have some people crafting the

This is actually perfect for shadow dom, because it allows composition. You gotta remember, Shadow Dom is a double edged sword, - while it prevents styles from leaking in, it prevents styles from cascading too. And sometimes, cascading was

Sure, but it suggests a component hierarchy which blurs the already ambiguous line between view and controller. Which is why there's flux and all of its variants, and things like falcor in the works - the missing model in data-componen

This really is a flaw in netflix's design, I believe. I was surprised to find a movie I wanted to see on Netflix the other day and only found it via a roku search across multiple catalogues. Here I thought I knew their catalogue after

Yeah, you also have to account for box sizing by adding borders. What I've done for this in the past is use a css &:after pseudo-element and make it absolutely positioned, and set width and height at 100% and position it at left: 0

After working with es6 for a bit (with babel), I still think I prefer CoffeeScript mostly because it's annoying to ensure brackets/parenthesis are closed properly.

Is it really because they're old? Or because they've established they are one trick ponies? I've met young programmers who I wouldn't hire (were it up to me) for the exact same reasons most people wouldn't hire the

Why? To preserve my "image" with fickle internet communities full of judgmental people who give me a double standard because my name is known? This is why I'm glad I'm not famous...

lol I didn't know that. Meh. It's something I would have done myself in the same situation.

Disagree. Perhaps because I was never an entitled CS grad with the world vying for my attention? I was never scared about whether or not I'd make $120k or $400k. I just wanted to work on something I believed in and be a positive force

Excellent stuff. I'm working on a framework right now for creating web documents like these!

Why DOM? It seems pretty simple to me, a simple standardized tree of nodes representing content. My biggest gripe would actually be CSS. I mean, wtf.

It's actually pretty cool. Makes me wonder if they're working on abstracting it out so other subreddits can utilize tools like these as well.

Awesome! Great to hear. I used to work at versal and now work for another obscure edtech startup - built another 'authoring tool' but our "blocks" are more like <elements> and we've got about 50 or so of them

Surely you've heard of Versal? I'm looking forward to seeing what Classmill can do! I've been personally thinking about these sorts of things too. Do you have any plans for adding assessable items and making things more adapt
