Why? I could understand wanting to port it to platform x , but the language choice isn't the biggest barrier to modification/extension here.

If they're simply tweaking the request vars to access unauthorised information, how does this compare with Aaron Swartz's crime?

Eugh, I bought a Sony CT370H sound bar last week, great speakers but the remote has 36 buttons, including 7 EQ presets. It's bizarre.

JSXHint exists[1] and works well, and highlighting libraries exist[2]. Have you actually tried the syntax? It makes sense when used with React.js (which is quite lovely), as almost all of the new syntax exists within a render() function. It

The greatest difficulty is that you may follow someone you like , but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll like their stream, and it can be difficult thing to ascertain based on a paltry handful of latest statuses. Honestly I&#x2

We are making progress in our own country, but it's slow. Our prime minister ignores rallies with tens of thousands of citizens in every capital city decrying new policies similar to the US's, the debate on metadata collection is

What the hell? Sublime Text 3 isn't even out of beta, nor featured on the Sublime Text homepage.

It's just as possible for a closed-source product to be written by hobbyists of the field. You're placing your trust in Microsoft employees requiring proper credentials from the engineers, and not just taking the guy who was free

I'd think /tmp by default would make sense, effectively your downloaded files would live inside Firefox itself, ready for you to drag/save them out. It's in line with where modern computing is going, making the filesyste

It's a delicate balance between being polite (toeing your partner's comfort zone), provocative (so they actually have to think about the answer), and funny or interesting (catch them off guard, be entertained). When you're

What Uber has going for it is convenience, transparency, and quality. By the time the industry itself settles, who's to say Uber could keep up the high standard of quality? Or if they move toward a monopoly, they might hike the price,

Keep with the colour model as you have it now, it reflects reality better as mixing paint is nothing like mixing light.

I've been really impressed by the TV show Halt And Catch Fire in this regard, the sales guy is slightly incorrect as a sales guy would be, but the engineers are bang-on.

Sublime Text 3 is still in beta. It doesn't need a new release but it's been 6 months since the last build, so if it's feature-complete it should be reflected with a major, stable 3.0 release.

IMO the smallest (fluid) size kicks in too early, but it's not hard to customise it. You can download a customised build[1], or override the LESS[2] or SASS[3] variables and build it yourself or incorporate it into your asset pipeline.

Good pick, but I also see the value in preservation — maybe 500 years from now, the Noto fonts will be the best or only representation of many dead or forgotten scripts and languages.

Implementing a pixel-perfect design in a webview-based Cordova app was a nightmare on Android 4.0—4.3. I'm glad 4.4+ has native Chromium webviews, but I wasn't advocating web-based packaged apps before and I can't see myself

Theoretically, there's no reason you couldn't write a similar app for Android devices which support BLE[1] to reimplement this functionality, but Panic have only ever written for Apple devices. [1] http://stackoverflow.

TFA states passengers will have to turn on their phones if they have them . I assume the fear is that you'll have a phone-like bomb with a chemical battery-like component. Toothpaste remains completely banned.

The "Opera Mini" mode renders webpages into a specialised format (OBML), so they function more like interactive images; I'd bet they finally implemented a OBML rendering/UX layer for iOS. "Opera Turbo" would be
