Probably going to get downvoted for the unpopular opinion but community curated news sites ala. Reddit/HN are way better at this than private communication channels like emails.

Who talked about abolishing? If the only way to change the status-quo is to completely discard the current system, that means it's clearly not flexible enough and indeed has to be abolished. But I doubt that's the case. Open up, e

What high expectations. I'm hopeful this election will be the trigger that makes the mainstream consciousness reflect on democratic republic systems' grave shortcomings.

The tragedy of proprietary technology. There is a need for competition so sure, saying "let's integrate Google Maps into everything" might not be a win for us in the long term, but we don't need a hundred different nav

Well, open-sourcing doesn't mean you have to manage anything, it's perfectly fine to say you don't take any external contribution and expect people to fork the project if they want to.

As an offender to this kind of behavior, I think it's more of a feeling that the only really compelling arguments against open-source apply only to commercial software, so you, the author of a free app, may be more easily convinced int

You might want to add a more visible link to the repo on the page, the github banner in the corner is easy to miss. Cool stuff otherwise, looks nice and clean. Although you have to be careful and make sure it always fits on the page (fallba

I haven't used webpack enough to be certain but AFAIK, like grunt, the config part is basically just JSON. Sure you can build your object dynamically, but it isn't something like gulp where you use functions to configure your proj

Nice presentation, and it would be even better if it could be integrated as a plugin for text editors (vim/emacs/...). Waiting for a good webpack.config.js one :)

Putting any effort in fighting "corruption" in online gambling/lottery/casino sites when it is known that the health, food, and politics industries are full of it seems like misdirected efforts to me.

The fact that the less powerful nature of these languages increases the amount of convention and code style required may also elevate the barrier to entry. In a more expressive language it's easier to get to the "this is how the o

It's interesting how replacing a single component from otherwise the same concept makes for 2 games with completely different mechanics, strategies and kinaesthetics.

I have no idea. Those are very different concepts and approaches (closed vs open source).

The reasoning is simple: Instead of seeing Google as rising as a new kind of ruler, enforcing a new kind of authority, I think it's more appropriate to see it as grafting itself onto an already existing authority. So to me it's no

Terrifying? I assume you're living in a constant state of fear then, because television networks already have and use that power. On the contrary I'd say that in this field the more players there are, the better.
