I don't think the right solution is to track pages read better. That would make the scam a bit harder (because scammers would have to either manually turn pages or fake the client software), but is still pretty easily defeatable. A cou

I haven't used Xamarin, so take this with a big grain of salt. But my understanding is that its API is similar to that of the underlying platform, meaning that it's mostly imperative and you write and interact with views in much t

The React Native for OSX fork is being developed by a developer outside of Facebook, and as far as I'm aware Facebook hasn't put any resources into it. I'm sure they're super pumped about it though -- the core team is ve

As of one or two releases ago React Native no longer ships with a forked version of React, and just depends on the upstream "React" library like any other project. So it's compatible with most things in the ecosystem now that

Also known as "degaussing," which brings me back to my school days when I would sometimes degauss the school's CRT monitors when I got bored just for fun. Looks like this, if you didn't live through those times: https:&

When I saw the title I was really hoping that this would tie in with their Oculus purchase to have a stadium experience for live sports in VR. :D

The title says it all. "Tech’s ‘Frightful 5’ Will Dominate Digital Life for Foreseeable Future." But since we're talking about technology, "foreseeable" translates to about two years. ;)

Code reviews/design critiques are extremely valuable even if you only have two developers, and they're both great at their jobs. It's not about not trusting the other members of your team, it's about learning from each o

I've briefly used Angular 1 a few years ago, and have been involved in the React ecosystem for the last two years. I really like React, it gets a lot of things right and I think it has a bright future. But I don't envy people who

I agree with this sentiment in general, especially that our own feeling of self-worth can be determined to a fair degree by the opinions of people we surround ourselves with, and that this drives conformity. However, I'd add an importa

Huge "+1" for Anvil (and thanks so much for developing it). I've written a fairly large app in production using Anvil+Kotlin, and developing with it feels more like React than the traditional Android imperative slog. At the s

Sure, but that's like saying "you can tell HTML was made by engineers". In both cases the defaults with 0 styling applied aren't pretty. But also like HTML, Graphviz gives you the tools to customize the colors, fonts, ed

Slightly off-topic, but I really hope that Typescript and Flow(type) can standardize on a type annotation syntax. There are tons of libraries that have annotations written either inline or provided third-party for one or the other, but the

If you're looking for more general flow-chart/graph functionality, check out Graphviz[1]. It's open source and has bindings in many languages (I've used it with Ruby and Python). There are a number of layout algorithms t

I also highly recommend Anvil. Anvil + Kotlin makes Android development feel sane and at times even joyous! I should write a blog about my experiences.
