Not true at all; With Node.js I don't have to wait for a browser to update, and V8 is often up-to-date with the latest stuff. And as a full-time JS dev, I have not gotten the feeling that the transpiler authors get to determine what&#x

> If enough goes wrong, you will get called back to work. True, but if you're good at your job, then this should be a very rare occurrence! It's still well worth the trade-off.

People have been putting event listeners on div long before any framework was around. Tons of libraries and documentation show how to attach a click handler to a div (ex: https://api.jquery.com/click/ ). I can think of

I use this approach with Mongoose in Node.JS. If you want to update a user document, we always query the entire document, set the field, and call .save(). This triggers all kinds of very useful validation hooks and is easy to think about. B

We've been on Mailgun for 5 years and they've been very reliable. We almost switched to Mandrill, thinking it was better for 'transactional' type emails but now I'm glad we did not! Their customer service is always

For people that are already into the IoT space, I think it's a no-brainer. I have smart bulbs (Lifx). They look great but have little to no support for physical switches, and the app works OK until you want to have two phones controlli

This seems like the easiest solution, and we've been pretty successful. We have sub-folders based on your environment and only machines have roles that can read production. We also realized you don't even have to encrypt and decry

How do you think the 2nd amendment is under assault? If you look at the list of things our youth were marching for[1], it doesn't say anything about taking guns away. Just like you can't yell "fire" in a movie theater, y

But you're going to have to install them either way. We only update dependencies when they are needed, so in practice this is rarely an issue. We have also gotten in the practice of making separate branches for updates to keep Pull Req

you mean now you CAN monitor the queue... it's been very helpful for us to just throw alerts on queue size in AWS Simple Queue Service.. but we have some apps keeping state in Mongo and you have to write a custom script each time to qu

You say it's concerning, but why? Have you asked what your team thinks? If they are responsible for the code they're maintaining, then they ought to be able to determine their own process for review. From my experience, I have see

I don't use Facebook at all, though I have an account. Messenger is perfect for me because I only care about the [very rare] chances that someone sends me a message on Facebook. These have always been friends or family that I haven&#x2

My latest find: if you right-click a variable that was output in the developer console, you can choose "Create Global Variable" to access it. It's super-useful combined with lodash to inspect large arrays of elements, for exa

Been a while, but from what I remember, upgrading Drupal itself usually worked okay, but you couldn't because most sites relied on 3-4 contributed modules, and it would take another half year-year for them to also upgrade, if ever.

All you have to do is bring your bag to the gate and they always check it for free. It wastes more time for everyone but they still get to charge the poor honest people at the ticket counter

If you know the height of your centered box, it's not that hard . Create a wrapper div whose top is set 50% down the page but has a negative offset which is 50% the height of the box: .vertically-centered { position: absolut

I rent cars often, I really dislike the ones w/a giant touch-screen on the front and nothing else. To me it's a gimmick and totally unsafe, since I have to look at the screen to do anything on it, sometimes repeatedly if it didn&#

Maybe it's not a win or lose situation. I wish Uber would just play by the rules and make their drivers real employees. They have so much money that sure, they won't make as MUCH profit, but it will probably still be a service wor

It's more important that a government can't spy on its own people. Without equal transparency between people and state, there's no way that the people can change the government. Mass surveillance invokes fear in the people to

one thing also to consider, though is that Dell and Thinkpad have tiers of products (consumer, business), whereas Apple only has one. For example, the superfish thing doesn't even affect the Thinkpad line of Lenovo. If you only compare
