The Firebase JS SDK currently supports non-persistent offline. So long as you keep the tab open, Firebase works great offline! However, if you go offline and then try to refresh the content, none of it will be persistently stored or accessi

Check out my I/O talk on Friday (Progressive Web Apps on Firebase). While the Firebase Web SDK doesn't support persistent offline just yet, we do have some new ways to get the job done. https://events.google.com/io

Firebase projects are deeply integrated with Google Cloud, so you can spin up backend resources such as Google Cloud Functions, App Engine, and Compute Engine. Using the Node.js server SDK you can watch for changes in the Firebase Database

The console was deprecated in favor of a new console that lives in the larger Cloud console.

We already have permanent identifiers for the web...they're called URLs. This seems like a super-unnecessary level of indirection.

Divshot co-founder here. Firebase Hosting is opinionated in being HTTPS-only, and we automatically provision an SSL certificate for your custom domain. The cost of doing so is the reason we're unable to offer custom domains for free.

I don't even understand the purpose of a video like this. The only thing it tells me is what Magic Leap hopes their tech will some day achieve. Blatantly conceptual and given that it's being released in lieu of in-person presentat

I'm speaking from the experience of a developer who has built numerous public APIs and client libraries over the years. Yes, you still need documentation for a REST API (I'm not a HATEOAS utopian), but you can easily attach your d

Except that RPC-structured APIs are complete garbage to consume for external developers because, surprise, they don't know or care what your internal function names are. And if you aren't thinking about the experience of real or t

Agree with most of the points in terms of most developers aren't using the D enough to make DVCS worth it. However, have to disagree about open source development before and after GitHub. Ironically, it's the centralized user acco

If a programmer cares a lot about money, that is a red flag. If you're only looking to hire from a pool of early-20s unattached white males, maybe. Other people may have obligations that make it a requirement to care a lot about mone

The answer will be in the videos somewhere. If I recall it was primarily discussed during the Day 2 performance panel, maybe give that a watch.

It is circular, but that's actually a good thing. It just means that large open platforms (like the web) eventually catch up to proprietary systems. It's a democratizing force. Something that two years ago took an experienced te

This is quibbling semantics. I bet there are software simulations for amoeba behavior indistinguishable from the real thing. It's placing an inordinate degree of importance on physical reality. Is a perfect simulation different from th

Co-founder of Divshot here (thanks for the mention, jchmura). We built our platform from the ground up to be the best possible way to deploy static JS apps. Let me know if you have any questions, I spend all day thinking about this stuff. :

No one forces you to look at ads. You choose to visit websites that display ads. I don't personally understand why ads are such a big deal to some people. That being said, I do sometimes acquire shows with unfriendly streaming situatio

This post sets up and knocks down a strawman quite expertly. You're right, it's not just Anita Sarkeesian who gets death threats, threats of rape, etc. leveled at her by idiot troll gamers. That's gaming's culture of har

I used to live in Atlanta where all of the major highways were capped at 55 around the city. The average highway speed was probably 75-80. If you drove the speed limit, you would be the most dangerous car on the road by forcing the flow of

The danger of a proprietary centralized service is directly proportional to how irreplaceable it is and how difficult it is to get relevant data back out. By this measure, GitHub poses very little threat. Because it's DVCS, the code al

The GitHub API is extremely robust. You can export issues, including comments etc. to JSON with a script that will take you maybe 10 minutes to write, max.
