Hmmmmmm. Semantic UI is honestly an amazing and under-looked alternative to Bootstrap/Foundation and the likes -- definitely more focussed on building web apps than just pretty web sites. It's good to see something similar coming

This is awesome! We've had many initiatives for improving the state of primary school ComSci education (Code Club etc.), it's good to see a project related to highschoolers. On a little tangent -- I went to an event this weekend c

React certainly replaces Angular as a View+Controller framework (idk about Ember, although I know there's been work on integrating the performance benefits of Virtual DOM). In scenarios with complex interactions, something like Flux is

I get your comparison, however DNS is not actually that fundamental to P2P networks, all you need are IP addresses (at least not after the bootstrapping phase). Whereas this is making the entire connection setup dependent on these signallin

Not really - you still need the centralised signalling server for initial connection setup between peers. And this is needed for every new connection.

Well I think it's a different - my app really only deals with very simple form inputs and interactive views, there's no performance issue to think of. Text editors deal with file systems, buffers, displaying text, plugins, a bunch

Official React support - woohoo! I've been using React and Meteor together to build a desktop web app for quantified self, and I have to say, the combination is magnificent for productivity. The app is 90% JS and a little CSS, and reac

Exactly. Many like to focus on the shortcomings of Bitcoin (of which there are many, I agree). Some more even like to predict the 'death of Bitcoin' based on these. However we shouldn't ignore the fact that cryptocurrency is

Interesting! I live in Brisbane and while we do have the beginnings of a startup scene it's not quite as vibrant as that of Sydney or Melbourne (at least w.r.t. VC and presence of big software companies). I'm going down there in D

I think 20GB is certainly reasonable. I use Thunderbird heavily for three accounts and my profile barely exceeds 3GB.

Yes it is nice to see continued progress! Could someone explain to me what this negative press is about? I understand that Rails and Ruby by default are not as performant as Node/Go/the JVM but it supposedly functions quite well f

I'd be interested in reading about any potential research in this area, it's quite a fascinating unsolved problem. Like Bitcoin's solution to the P2P untrusted consensus problem (Two Generals Problem), I would think that the

Although I agree with your premise that clear designs are essential, I'd say that it's important nonetheless to implement them. Having an implementation is a marker of whether the design does/does not work. A whitepaper can t

I agree, WeAreHunted provided superior service to the Music app. The ability to play the entirety of a song without a Twitter and Spotify account was awesome — it was a great new way of discovering music.

Do you still have the link? I really think this needs to be in the standard API.

by liamzebedee 13y ago
No, as it still doesn't solve the issue of the lack of any API for signalling over already obtained network information (such as IP), when you could use direct communications immediately after NAT has been traversed. Still, props to the guy
