I'm worrying; could it hide the effects of global warming? (or whatever name is used now) I'm afraid this could result in even less support from the governments and/or less effort to reduce emissions and other climate-changin

I hope Haxe[0] will make its way into this survey for next years, it's a solid JS (amongst other targets) transpiler alternative (better results than others, but less known). Also, seems like a translation string is missing for vim (di

Doesn't seem too bad to me with a bike and a city giving priority to bikes. Surely less convenient than using a car, but I guess you get used to it. Like you are used to do it in something like 25 minutes with a car, even though there

Individual actions are definitely a start, but yeah it sounds like almost nothing compared to corporations (or even governments, responsible for so many unnecessary plane travels). Is there some data on the actual scale of individual vs cor

Hi I'm Rudy, nice to meet you! Now you have one :) On a more serious note: 1. have one less kid. I really don't like how this one is worded, I always read it as "get rid of one of your kids". Though, except going from 1

I never used Haxe in windows. I agree that ten years ago tooling wasn't all that great (on linux at least), but now with the focus on VS Code we have a language server following Microsoft's LSP [0] that we can even use on other ed

I don't define them precisely either. I'll borrow an answer from stack overflow [1]: This is totally personal and subjective, but I'd say that a website is defined by its content, while a web application is defined by its int

React+redux (or just react) doesn't add much to websites. Maybe Vue.js would be a better fit when some complexity is needed in a website. I see React as a tool for building web applications, not websites. Using it for something like ha

Turns out apollo (graphql client for react) is doing more or less redux's work. I planned on using both at first when I started migrating to graphql, but quickly saw that indeed redux was becoming redundant when we use apollo. Especial

Nice feat. It broke my browser's (vivaldi) pdf viewer though, I had to restart it to view any other pdf again. Not sure how this happened...

I was interested when the campaing came up and ordered a VoCore2 + Ultimate Dock (42$) back in november 2016. Never received it (must have been lost somewhere).. so I lost all interest in it. Looked promising, though.

I understand and agree with you. It's just that this is exactly what is possible with newer versions of FontAwesome. So it has in a way replaced itself by the tools you were looking for :) It's just nitpicking; with the example it

Yeah, the thumbs down on FontAwesome is a little harsh imo. Maybe there should be a thumbs down on FontAwesome using the CSS classes flavor, but I don't see the new version as being a bad thing at all.

There are e-cigs that do smell, the one in my previous company "vaping" in the open space used some kind of flavor that had a strong [unpleasant] smell, even over 5 meters away. Overall it's a great improvement. I just hope t

I agree with that :) Though after a while I personnally traded simplicity* for more customization and performance and switched to openbox and now i3. Edit: * Well no, "simplicity" does not exactly mean what I first thought it did.

Why not? In Haxe (a statically typed language which compiles to js, amongst other targets) pattern matching happens in a switch: https://haxe.org/manual/lf-pattern-matching-structure.html
