Looks like this is taken into account by the MEI doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_278v_plodvgtXSgnEJ0yjZJ... as well as "The user tapped or clicked somewhere on the site during the browsing session&q

How does this relate to media sites? eg. Netflix, HBOGo, the rest of the cable channel web apps? If a user clicks on a thumbnail preview and is taken to a separate page with a video, will they now need to click on it to begin playback? Or i

Too bad, I was looking forward to the abominable shitshow that was going to be Zuck's candidacy.

I'd be interested to know what (aside from the new wasm support) the PSPDFKit standalone web viewer offers over PDFJS. We're currently using the latter, which is good enough for our needs, stable and actively developed, and open s

"evergreen" means self-updating, with a rapid release cycle. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox follow this model. IE (essentially a legacy browser at this point) and Safari don't.

Evergreen web browsers. Safari and IE11 continue to ruin my life.

Interesting stuff out of this thread.. I really love Soundcloud, especially for discovery, but I guess I'm an absolute edge case. I primarily listen to electronic DJ sets (RA, Dekmantel, etc) and the community track ID comments on thes

Also, shoutout to BelTel in South Africa, my first foray into online world, including national chat, way back in 1985.

yeah, ridiculous student loans (med school), and some of it is definitely unrelated to being in the bay - a lot of debt related to the substandard paid maternity/paternity leave when having a kid in the USA (shoulda got that job @ netf

My wife and I work full time, combined income is just below $400k. With a mortgage on a 3 bedroom in Oakland, daycare and after-school care costs, student loans, et al, we have never been more broke in our lives. I was living large when I w

Anyone remember LOD (Land of Devastation)? It never gained much traction but was an awesome idea at the time with it's downloadable tile packs. Unfortunately the really shitty gambling system made it godmode all around.

omfg! i was on many Dementia BBS' in SoCal back in the day. First board I sysop'ed was a WWiV 3.21 - I was very proud that I modded the Pascal source to support more than 9 discussion boards at the time.

this is supposedly no-fee, at least for now. gift cards are quite the scam, i think the standard is a $4.99 fee for cards under $100.

i know this is a tangent and not directly related to next.js, but the react ecosystem's insistence on coming up with increasingly convoluted and self-defeating stories around how to handle CSS instead of just using the tool the way it&

This is really cool, and very nicely packaged. I agree with some other commenters that showing sample html would be a good improvement, but in general this is awesome. That said... Is it acceptable to animate `box-shadow` these days? Though

i think the killer feature of gitlab is still self-hosted instances. it makes it really hard to justify using github enterprise. as far as gitlab.com, i've toyed around with it on personal projects and it still has a very long way to g

"let me be very clear: we have great desktops in our roadmap. Nobody should worry about that" Sounds like that meeting with Mr. Trump included some lessons in communicating with the public.

Whatever gains Mr. Robot made in "killing" (i'd say updating, but anyway) the Hollywood "hacker" trope, they lost twice over with their shoddy portrayal of mental illness.

Hi Paul, why not address the real issue in the FAQ? As it stands now, using React in a project essentially nullifies any patent protections a company may have against Facebook. If I were to use React to build a successful product that fits

If that's pretty much all there is, you'd be better off saving ~150kb and just using ES6 template strings.

they may not have been necessary for your projects, but they're absolutely necessary for any real-world production grade apps. Angular is solely targeted in that direction. 90% of the React examples I see when I interview people are ha

Ah, Microsoft. Will they ever figure out that the Microsoft name is a liability for consumer app adoption? There's a reason it's not called "Facebook Instagram", and Facebook, deservedly or not, still has a much less tar

Please elucidate? Angular 1.5 has one-way binding, lifecycle hooks, component tree architectures. UI-router is well on the way to become framework agnostic. Redux or redux-style state management is possible with ng1.5, and a pleasure with n

Came here to say this. Recently spent a day hand-rolling my own, much like the author here has, only to rip it out at the end of the day and replace it with a lightweight wrapper around IntersectionObserver, using the polyfill. The API is j

Came here to recommend Stormpath, too. I don't actually use their API but the docs are amazing and some of their presentations on REST API design are phenomenal.

The world, and Silicon Valley startup culture in particular, is filled to the brim with oblivious narcissists. You can pry my nagging self-doubt from my cold, dead fingers, thank you very much.
