Ah, I was assuming there would be a kludgy hack to bridge between the emulator's filesystem and localStorage on the browser.

Auto-formatting is great, but it can't handle everything. For example, our ESLint config prevents modification of function params[1]. I don't think a tool could automatically reformat this into compliance without changing the beha

I believe the linter is the important part here. I've come to the conclusion that style guides are only useful if they come with a linter that fails builds. It's way too easy to put code into a repo that works but doesn't liv

I feel like this isn't much simpler than the official docker-machine workflow, but I may be too far in the weeds at this point to objectively tell how complicated it is. In my case I need to test tools across 4 versions of Docker so I&

For shipping I don't think it would matter much but for in-store displays it helps to show the front of the box to customers.

What if we replace "best" with "good enough for most common uses"? Most of the roads and bridges we build today aren't pinnacles of innovation, they're just good enough that we don't bother optimizing them

Another way to cut down on costs is to use email-to-SMS gateways. Emails are usually way cheaper to send than SMS ($0.0005 per email with Mailgun vs $0.0075 per SMS through Twilio). The biggest downside is that these gateways can be a bit f

The pull into garage feature seems targeted towards people who have tiny carports like you see everywhere in SF.

At small scales it's probably better to spend your time working on the core product than to make small tweaks, but once you're operating at a large scale a 0.1% conversion bump from a small change (like making the cents display in

Agreed, blog posts and open source projects can be just as helpful as journal-published articles. I didn't intend publications to mean only academic journals.

I understood that as more of a lament that a lot of work is being duplicated because academics aren't aware of prior work in the industry. But then again, how are you supposed to know that someone has a solution unless they tell the wo

Projects like this happen because it's easier to contribute here than to the existing manpages. As someone who came of age in a Github world, there's (perceived) friction preventing me from trying to contribute to a lot of tools f

Speculation, but if they already have the infrastructure to run the test online then it was probably easier than building one-time-use tools to test backups.

Similar story with ecommerce sites. Even Amazon still runs most of their shop experience over HTTP. From a technical perspective, switching a simple site to HTTPS-only isn't that hard. Fix mixed content warnings, update urls, etc. Ecom

I'll probably stick with JSX, but it's nice to have different options if you don't want to be locked into using the React virtual DOM.

One of the biggest reasons I'm hesitant to move to the valley is the housing situation, things like this are great to hear.

Volumes have been an underdeveloped part of the Docker world for a long time. It took a long time, but it looks very promising.

We do in a staging environment, but usually only with releases where we think something we changed will cause a major difference in how the app behaves under heavy load. It's not cheap to keep a full staging environment around, but whe

Ah, that's what I missed. I guess there's still a possibility of permissions changing during the transfer, but I don't think there's anything you'd want to do to handle that other than error out.

It's late and maybe I missed something looking through the code, but what happens if you don't have write permissions on the directory that the statefile is in? The copy operation is performed but then the state is lost when the s

The API is available but not everyone has switched to it. There is a valid argument for backwards compatibility, like Linus refusing to break userspace even when it means rejecting some improvements. However, I'm in full agreement with
