   Sad that we don't have a 12V power socket standard that is better than the lighter socket.

   If I had to choose between having all the ES6 features except modules, versus having ES6 modules without all the other ES6 features, I would choose the latter. Sure, I'm biased, because I'm working on a huge single-page app with g

   The technology seems interesting, but I can't find any more or less technical information about it (nothing more than a few lines introductory lines). Links, anyone?

   Dacia-branded cars from Renault/Nissan are just like that. You can go to euroncap.com and watch their A-pillars crumple upon impact. But they still do pull off their quite decent three stars, and are considered quite safe cars as for t

   So, can an electric car (not counting the cost of the battery) be realistically cheaper than a gasoline one within the next 5-10 years? I know that the number of moving parts is smaller, but these parts that are there are kind of higher tec

   I do this from day one since DirectWrite was introduced in FF. And I strive to always use web fonts in my web pages (avoiding the default GDI font families) for exactly the same reason. BTW, it is enough to just clear the GDI font families

    Any idea when ES6 modules (via the <module> HTML tag) are coming?

    Very nice. It would be even better if it had some CSS media query-based fallbacks for the case when the page is being printed. And yes, jQuery should not be a requirement.

    How about some demo video? Having to install the app to see anything more than a teaser is a click bait.

    And also they have ads on the bus, as well as other means of monetizing their trips (books, etc). So there is some bidirectional cash flow apart from those $600.

    1k seems like too little. If we take classic 64k .exe demos as a "gold standard", then we need to define some limit that would allow to replicate that amount of stuff in JS. Should it be 16k, 32k, 64k? Is textual JS code more comp

    The so-called "BMW i3 with Range Extender" is a "more true" range-extended battery electric vehicle. Unlike the Volt, the BMW doesn't have any mechanic connection between its wheels and the gasoline engine, and the

    I live in a climate where you can potentially get stuck in the snow for few hours when going between cities (that happens maybe once per year, but today is exactly such a day, for example). In a gasoline car you would at least stay warm whi

    We're developing a desktop-like single page application, so our testing on mobile is very limited. But I don't see any major issues on the few devices that we have, and caniuse.com confirms that problems are not anticipated (at le

    There's plenty of cases (especially in the enterprise, where requirements can be tightly controlled) when non-Edge versions of IE can be safely dropped. I'm working on such a project right now, we use flexbox very extensively.

    You would feel less airsick if the pressure in an airplane cabin was the same as on ground. I think they mean that Hyperloop will maintain the outside pressure inside the pod (not a smaller one), and that will reduce acceleration sickness c

    So they want to switch to what would be to de facto a non-fixed prime meridian (from time counting point of view) just because developers of time-critical systems are too lazy to use TAI or GPS time for internal time calculations...

    I once worked on a project that was written in Groovy (a hipster version of Java, so to speak). At some point I have converted it from dynamic to static, by adding the @CompileStatic directive and adding some type declarations. It became MU

    I'm not saying you shouldn't use dynamic languages at all (in fact, I'm developing in one right now), but you should keep in mind that you are paying a computational price for that dynamism every time a line of your code is e
