Releasing a new Python VM that only targets Python 2 certainly isn't going to help improve that statistic

A bunch of other things are also broken in Firefox. Yay WebKit-only websites.

A few off the top of my head: * Use ui-router. Build your app with nested views. * Any duplicate page elements should be directives. Use isolated scope when you can and pass state into directives explicitly * Keep model state in services. C

Hey, it has a cool name and it's made by Facebook. It must be state of the art tech, right? Trolling aside, Flux really doesn't bring much to the table. It's trying to solve the pain caused by two-way-binding by forcing state

Don't forget about Twitter's API and liberal usage policy that made the plethora of clients and mashups possible -- I think this accelerated their growth more than anything. Their API is not so "free" now -- you need to

Not if this is anything more than an academic exercise. Nice effort, but SVG and, to a lesser degree, icon fonts, are better for this sort of thing.

AngularJS was first released seven years ago. React, barely two.

MVC with an event bus (I mean, um, "Flux") is about as far from "computer science" as you can get. Software engineering, maybe.

It's only a "game changer" because SF is now too crowded and expensive, so startups are moving to Oakland because it's still close by and a little cheaper.

Designing a system architecture (Monopoly question) and solving a practical coding problem are different skillsets, so ideally you would ask the interviewee both types of questions.

The module system shimming is kind of roundabout. 6to5 generates CommonJS, RequireJS converts CommonJS to AMD, and AMDclean converts that to "regular" JS. RequireJS is really only good for AMD, but since AMD is rightfully dying in

I was hesitant to use ES6 because of how terrible Traceur's output is, but 6to5 looks really nice!

I've written a similar library, also in Python. Things get interesting when you implement __iter__ for collections and __setattr__ for PUT/POST requests. At that point, you start needing a machine-readable API spec (e.g. Swagger,

You can't say 'no' on HM without being downvoted by the hivemind for not having an agreeable opinion. Then the "why is everyone being so negative and critical?" comment rises to the top.

So why aren't there photos of your final 1x scale prototype? The evolution pic is a render, which leads me to believe that engineering challenges will prevent you going from breadboard to 2x to 1x scale, making this project dead in the

And at the same time, HTML/CSS typography is in the stone age compared to LaTeX. No microtype without manually tweaked <span> soup, awful justified layout, CSS regions and columns are a work in progress, and all of this is unusab

You can't use any of the variables or mixins if you import the CSS in your LESS file. The syntax is not the issue -- the tooling is.
