If you aren't using something like nopar or sinopia, you're really doing it wrong - I mean, if you're taking the micro-dependency route, surely you're not building your application as one monolithic chunk of code, right?

Couple of things: * If you're in favor of the micro-module approach, you shouldn't be relying directly on NPM, and should have something like Sinopia in place. After all, external code isn't the only thing you're vendori

...at the expense of slowing down the adoption of agreed-upon standards to the point that they can't be reliably utilized because of compatibility issues? This is not exactly a new scenario. At least Microsoft has moved on.

A point release every n months is utterly useless for on-the-ground web developers. Safari needs to move to the Firefox/Chrome deployment model if it wants to remain at all relevant.

since this has devolved into everyone's favorite tech-related parody accounts, i'll throw https://twitter.com/iamdevloper and https://twitter.com/NeckbeardHacker into the mix.

you say "only one project out of 5 are [sic] big enough to justify it", and then complain that the perks that tooling provides aren't part of the core language. do you see the inconsistency there?

ugh. as someone who wandered over to development after years of freelance design, this brings back terrible memories. you may want to check out http://www.nospec.com/ and spend some time ruminating on the ethical ramificati

Good to know. I read the original series about 20 years ago and was recently thinking of catching up on the rest of it.

3 things: 1. Much of it reads as"are you taking this approach? yes? don't take this approach. no? take this approach." 2. There are also a couple of flowchart errors ("are you working on a production app" appears tw

Agreed. I was kind of shocked to open up the comments and see people taking this at face value. I know this isn't reddit, but "upvoted because React" seems to be just as much in play over here.

I haven't verified this, but I really doubt that this, or any other CSS-only solution, will work with elements constrained in an `overflow: hidden` block with a fixed height too short to display the tooltip. Which is a fairly common sc

"Now, we should define an increment action." <TYPING INTENSIFIES>. 40 lines of code later, we can increment a variable.

if there's a meaningful semantic difference between what you just posted and Angular's 1.5 component syntax, I'm missing it.

Wow, I thought I was the only person alive who still remembered this. Tile-based MMO on a BBS... even if I ran into another player only about once a month. The gambling system was nicely exploitable, too :)

The web is far more ambitious than some proprietary walled garden. Personally, I'm willing to put up with a bit of suckage in the DOM API to support that.

If that's all you're using it for, you'd be better of with Hipchat, which serves as a functional notification channel and from what I recall is free for <10 users. I guess Slack would be worthwhile if you're using it

I'm using fabricjs for annotations as well and it's a great library. The biggest downfall of using canvas as a renderer as opposed to svg is that it doesn't look great if you provide zoom controls. Lovely crisp SVG paths rend

yes, sorry, that's the one. It's been a good 5 years since I left .Net-land.

Google has been using Angular 1.x for DoubleClick since 2012 ( http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2012/06/doubleclick-super-powe... ). I think it's fair to say that it's one of their most important products.

Actually, when 'we didn't need any of this stuff', most of the heavy lifting was with server-side frameworks(Struts, Razor, Rails, etc). The rise of web applications, and in particular single page applications, which are expe

I'm pretty sure Doubleclick is far more 'critical' than gMail, from Google's perspective.

A lot of Angular 2 is optimized around using Typescript. A lot of the heavily-used Typescript features (eg. annotations) are on track for ES7, but not part of ES6.

order is huge for accessibility. eg, you want to render a sidebar (aside) menu on the left side of the screen, but screen readers should prioritize the actual screen content. Before flexbox, this involved all kinds of nasty positioning tric
