One tip, Redux is great and is worth learning but if you want to curb the amount of boilerplate and anxiety-inducing added conceptual overhead look no further than mobx. And good news, after a quick search I found that someone has made it o

The name "serverless" will and is likely doing everything I'm sure it was intended to do... provoke curiosity, signal "this is different than just another PaaS", sound cool and maybe polarize or incite those who get

After seeing this post today I made a script to install a Electron wrapper for the Spotify web client so that you can still have the "dedicated desktop app" feel/behavior without the SSD-killing part! https://james

For those answering, what do you think of designing a "free" product to let the client use as a "gift" for their time. Perhaps your pricing tier has no freemium but after getting a meeting with the client you offer a spe

It's very early stages, Douglas mentioned in the talk I attended that he has purposefully tried to refrain from giving anyone set dates for deliverables in attempts to prevent rushed code at this stage.

I saw this same talk live at forwardjs, I think his ideas are the perfect blend of being ambitious (enough to capture interest) and yet tempered by past failed attempts at "revolutionizing the web". I hope the project garners more

Just an idea to share, from someone who's been building business apps using Knack's visual builder for the past year, I think a killer combination would be fieldbook's friendly UX for the database with a "marketplace&quo

If you look around there is no "beautiful ERP" solution out there and the status quo is "you can make a very capable ERP or a "pretty" ERP but not both". I understand the the difficulty of striking that balance

To what extent could you eliminate on-site failure points and/or build-up on-site redundancy? The reason I ask is that maybe the question shouldn't be about hiring more people for on-site failures but instead planning for up-front

This is an impressive accomplishment, I would say almost more because of the deal-making and logistics of dealing with the online music stores than the coding but together these accomplishments show you really have your heart in the game! I

Can anyone offer some context or comparison as far as how facefaceplus measures against (the now shuttered) face.com or lamda labs api in terms or accuracy, performance API design? Thanks!

Higher resolution image capture for applications dealing with face recognition would be awesome. Is the team holding off on face recognition until a higher resolution camera/kinect is in place?

I really want to watch the video but the bandwidth on the site is horrible, buffering every few seconds. I'm downloading the .flv now, I'll post it on youtube and comment back here if I get time.

Interesting. I guess it will all come down to execution, attention to detail but no matter how i play it in my head i can't see the Metro display as anything more than a Flipboard-type utility- good, cool but limited.

Chill out bro, life's a cookie. The growth figures in the article are sourced and you're right Apple only went up a few "degrees" (which because of Apple's relatively small enterprise market share results in a big growth percentage). I neve

Your version of reality is incompatible with this one: http://onforb.es/iCBqdj I'm asserting that if Microsoft's software lock-in strategy were effective Apple could not possibly make such gains into the enterprise/pc market.
