Looks like a wonderful React-based alternative to the likes of Semantic UI, and a great start! A couple quick questions: 1. I see a lot of "inspired by bootstrap" comments in the grid/scaffold... just wondering, are you port

From what I can see though, the hardware looks decent... Personally I'm curious for when someone does a teardown, to make sure there are no hardcoded callbacks to Google servers that shouldn't be. If not, this wouldn't be so

If you're intelligent and privacy conscious, yes. I also think a statistically-relevant alternate scenario exists where a person is deleting things selectively out of fear of (real or imaginary) ideological persecution. I don't

Chiming in as I was completely unaffected... maybe this can help someone here. I switched our applications off of OpsWorks a couple months back after losing faith in the OW team, in favor of a lower-level CI flow using auto-scaling groups a

It's really upsetting and ousting Forstall did nothing to revive or unify the iOS/OSX teams... And it's easy to gloss over these issues when they're crafted into such a carefully and intentionally designed piece of moder

Perhaps it was too direct a rebuttal... in my perspective I view any proclivity to "vice" as intrinsic to the nature of societies & human curiosity. This is, thus far, corroborated by the behavioral sciences. In that model th

Do you see how your argument breaks down when you can substitute any potentially-addictive activity in place of [gambling]? Any pleasurable activity from video games, to food, to alcohol, etc. can be done to a destructive end. That doesn

Actually, no. With the high availability of PCB's and the upcoming ubiquity of 3D printers, the reality is that such overreaching restrictions as you propose would do nothing but slightly push the market back toward the realm of hobby

Can anyone explain the intent here? It seems like a ridiculous decision by Apple any way I look at it... and I'm an active opponent of the major labels & right-holder organizations. If Apple is trying to shift to a user-subscriptio

Except Chromium as a framework is in an interesting position... and I think the threat is not even in how this could be used with malicious intent, but rather how easy it allows for indiscriminate passive logging on a grand scale. Chrome is

In this case, either the speech-recognition feature being included in the chromium source (and not as a raw network-reconciled binary), or else have the feature be opt-in, not enabled by default.

It's not about consistently being bugged though--I see two troubling implications to this; a) Government A decides target B has valuable communications, and uses this audio capture functionality as an attack vector (ie, a MiTM server m

Maybe Spark + Cassandra, but Cassandra has definitely shown to be finicky when it comes to 4+ node clusters, meaning, unless you're willing to contribute time and resources to devops and dive into Java, it's a point against gettin

Figured I'd chime in here since I developed an algorithm recently that could be applied to this problem with some basic ML. Basically the first step would be shingling the text (choosing a sampling domain) and generating a MinHash stru

Very true, and actually you touched on something really interesting--when a government attempts to regulate social behavior that cannot be regulated (e.g. drugs, morals, thought, etc.) you see this dynamic take over. In the case of black

Well, I can't speak necessarily for the way you write or view code, but for my process I've found its impact intrinsic and clearly definable. First I should note that I follow a few basic principles/sets of principles when pr

To be clear, static typing is the zenith of of compiler optimizations and in many ways the programming "ideal," however in the context of loosely typed languages (and their OOP abstractions) and I think the author is missing a sig

Yes! Haha I realized that when I'm working double the hours without noticing, because the challenges are finally unique enough to be interesting :) I think you hit the nail on the head again too, since frameworks as a philosophy don&#
