>Caring about the 'boring stuff': release management. configuration management. proper continuous integration. simplifying your build steps. cleaning up hairy code or removing redundant files and gunk from older projects. Sigh

I doubt this. Opposing gay marriage makes you homophobic in my view like voting for Apartheid makes you a racist. There is no "I have nothing against them but they should not have equal rights". If you opt not to support equal rig

>Homophobia and opposition to gay marriage are in my opinion completely different issues In the same way as Racism and support for Apartheid are completely orthogonal. Come on...

Well, it is version 1.0. If it is that important, maybe you could port it and issues some pull requests.

If you rent an apartment, you pay for it. If you use Gmail, you don't. Google somehow has to make money from something, so there is a incentive to mine your data. But the main point is: an apartment is not an information system. Throug

It is beyond me why people with a high technological competence use Gmail. I know it is convenient, but then please stop bitching that Google or the NSA will read your mails.

>Most people make the mistake that the DOM is a place you put things. I guess this is why Angular keeps the model separate from the DOM. That said, the virtual DOM strikes me as a really good idea I'd like to see in Angular.

Well I think we'll just have to disagree here. I think you are patently wrong if you really believe you can keep up maintainability of a largish codebase by appealing to craftmanship in a real-world company. This is all nice and well i

Actually, every IDE warns you if you try to use a deprecated method. They show as strikethrough in your source too. There are things like http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/deprecated-list.htm... a

>Stop with the frameworks. >Things like jQuery, underscore, etc... Sounds great until you have a team of 5 developers maintaining at least a semi-huge code base over the course of some years. Some people leave, new join the team. Then

It is strange to see Angular labeled "large" and "monolithic" here, when it was blasted for being too small and simple by one of the Ember guys ( http://eviltrout.com/2013/06/15/ember-vs-ang

But then again, is the comparison between Angular and React even a valid one? After all, Angular is more or less MVC with a lot of functionality for resource routing, component building whereas React seems like a view templating library. So

by iSnow 13y ago
I only looked superficially at React, so maybe I got something wrong, but the HTML/XML intermingled with Javascript seems extremely off-putting to me, akin to ASP/JSP/PHP.

ES6 support with ES5 fallback, I am stoked. As to the mobile-first changes, we'll see - I have some reservations on using Angular on lower specced mobiles, for the $watch()-cycle seems to me huge drain on batteries. But since the Angul

The problem with nuclear is not the reactors - they can be reasonably safe with today's technology. The problem is nuclear waste. No matter what nuclear technology you use, it leaves behind tons of waste that will be hazardous in tens

Sorry, this is way too vague to be worth of anything. After all, a lot of the cypherpunks movement was in love with decentralized money, but only one gal, guy or group made something usable out of this.

If the rumors are right, then Gox not even had unit tests or a version control system go figure. Bitcoin squarely is in the hand of amateurs - good ones like the dev team and bad ones like Karpeles et al.

No, it looks like something from 1999. And it completely sucks on mobile. Actually, it is a disgrace.

Which probably goes to show that most developers are not afflicted with OCD but would rather have a more lenient spec. After all, XHTML2, which is even more strict, sold like hot cakes...

by iSnow 13y ago
Actually hardly anyone wanted XHTML2, because it was a purely academic excercise in making established things harder (<a href="..." target="_blank") without compelling features. I tried to use it but then completely r

To this days I still use it now and then to add a little bit of spacing to inline elements if I am too lazy to have <span>s with margin all over the place.

You won't displace entrenched technology with an entirely different model, no matter how good. Sorry, this is just a pipe dream. The real competition for the web are the walled gardens of iOS and Android App development.

Of course then Google would have you download Webkit as a renderer and NaCl as an execution environment. Which would be only available on the latest version of your OS. And Apple would shove some Obj-C renderer down your device, only this w

No, but they first used Java applets and then Flash, just to re-implement the native scrollbars with a lesser version. The horror...

Javascript was never intended for building large applications, but with the JIT-improvements of the last years, it works. CSS is really botched and holding us back at this point. Fortunately it is slowly improving (eg. * { box-sizing: borde

I think the only viable route is to migrate to Angular 2 - the evolution of JS frameworks is way to dynamic to stick with older versions.

Same here, but it is really easy to get rid of both the buttons and the privacy implications via AdBlock, Ghostery or NoScript.

I think deceiving Apple is the very worst idea ever. If they catch you cheating, your app will be booted from the app store - and rightly so.

OTOH I lost 20Kg eating lots of fruit (evil addictive fructose in there) and no meat. Any one-sided diet can work if your awareness rises. More wholesome diets might even work better in the long run.
