Thanks for the link, a very informative read... and I've been looking for an answer on this topic for quite a while.

I think a more important point is that you should design your website to still be functional even if Javascript is disabled. Why? Because some users, such as those who use Tor, may have legitimate reasons to disable Javascript execution

The Tor web browser disables most (if not all?) Javascript by default as a security measure. Avoiding Javascript is an advantage if you want your website to be accessible to Tor users. If your website only handles basic things like form inp

What are the performance implications of using CSS animations versus Javascript? Say, if you were trying to make an application where page animations need to be extremely fast, like under 2ms for an experiment or test.

Which of these blue sky projects actually has a sign of returning money to investors within 2 years? There is objective evidence already that today's teenagers prefer Snapchat over Facebook, and think that the platform is boring. I th

Yeah I think you're losing perspective that outside of startup hipster tech bubbles, Windows is still the most popular desktop computing platform. Mobile/tablet devices have struggled heavily at overcoming the one thing that'

Any idea why Apple is so doggedly pursuing haptic feedback for its touch button? The engine appears to take up a lot of room in the phone. The only justication I see for it is that they're trying to unite the touch interface gestures

Apple has a fairly good track record when it comes to predicting the death of old standards.

The fact that it feels so true is a testament to how little is perceived to have changed about the iPhone 7 over earlier models like the iPhone 6s.

Wow good point, I never thought about the fact that with AirPads there are now two batteries competing for the attention of your lightning charger.

Succinct. At least the toilet drop is okay now.

You're right... But there is no faster way to kill the coolness of AirPods than to have it associated with the stereotype of bluetooth headset-wearing douchebags fielding phone calls in public.

I can see this getting very annoying regardless, though I trust Apple has thought this through.

In my opinion a case is necessary just so I can have access to a second battery. The iPhone 6s is unusable with only one charge.

Verge is giving the haptic buttons a big thumbs down: "Another thing I tried: the new home button, which uses a "taptic engine" to give you physical feedback when you press it — it's pressure sensitive too, so it can tel

That's hogwash--no one cares about that. If anything, the move was done to expand room within the internals of the phone.

The case for React is strong in this respect, because Facebook has many lines of React committed to important production code. Your problems are also their problems... unlike Angular, which Google isn't relying on in production code n

All boot camps graduate strong students and all boot camps graduate weak students. Using the name of a boot camp as the basis for judging the abilities of a student is a fool's errand. Recruiters who do this are making a serious mistak

Very interesting stuff. Some of the better direct evidence for regulatory capture I have read.

I do know former coders managing government tech policy now. Don't assume they all lack technical knowledge. That's increasingly not the case from my experience.

Unless you can afford good lawyers to put on a good defense. Then you get a Netflix show.

One aspect is the difference in opponent. Until recently most people thought NSA-level surveillance only applied if you were a national security threat like Osama Bin Laden. In this case we're talking about the FBI wanting access for

Exactly, it's this kind of nuance people so often miss. Black and white thinking. The government does something you disagree with, so suddenly now it's natural to expect them to wield literally every tool of state power against y

Anybody who actually went to jail for conscientiously objecting to this would be making one of the smartest moves possible in their career. They'll go down in the history books, their jail time will be minimal, and they will be a cele

The problem is people have a hard time of wrapping their head around the idea that an encryption backdoor, once created, is at extreme risk of being leaked to others and can not be contained. This is something that I find is hard to explain

There is good evidence that public debate is starting to turn. Senator Lindsay Graham, a national security hawk, is beginning to state reservations with the FBI's strategy. That's a big deal: https://youtu.be/zsj

I doubt they could be fined. The government can not force someone to continue to be an employee of a company. Please cite me an example of somebody who hasn't broke the law being forced to work against their will for months to do some
