I've never heard of this method before! That's a _really_ nifty trick, thanks for putting it here!

Author here. As I mentioned in other posts, I don't believe redux-saga is the be-all-end-all solution to every problem in client-side Javascript. It's a good solution for codebases which need to coordinate among several different

Author here. Saying "why not simply observables" kinda glosses over a lot of details, but I'll try and answer as best as I can. I've always found it a bit difficult to use Observables in application-style code, both in a

(Disclaimer: I work at Formidable) Can confirm, I absolutely love `redux-little-router`. It feels so natural to dispatch Redux actions to change routes rather than dealing with the song and dance of conditionally rendering <Redirect &#x2

I could be wrong on this, but my understanding was that several third-party publishers have shown public interest in developing for the Switch (Bethesda comes to mind). I would hope they would have learned from their mistakes with the Wii U

Have you been keeping up with the stock trackers? I had some luck this weekend with istocknow.com: at 10pm on Saturday night, it was reporting that a Walmart about an hour away from me had gotten a shipment about three hours earlier. My gir

Hmm. Lemme see if I can explain this. Javascript uses "function references" in a similar fashion to C's "function pointers". This... function fooAllTheBars() { /* ...quux... */ } ...is a function de

Check out `react-mapbox-gl`. It's not perfect, but we're using it on my current project and have been quite happy with it- not least because the maintainers seem pretty cool about reviewing, merging, and publishing pull requests.

I could be wrong on this (it's been years and years since I got my ham license), but I think the licensing of individual operators is intended to _ensure_ that ham radio is preserved for individual operators. The idea being that keepin

Because it's a rhetorical tactic, not an argument based on logic. And it's tailored directly towards getting the Left to "sit down and shut up".

For what it's worth, you should _always_ be using triple-equals in Javascript unless you have an overwhelmingly good reason not to. Many of the weird Javascript-isms people like to complain about are due to surprising type coercions, w

Keep in mind that part of what makes reading code beneficial is that it's not necessarily easy - in fact, it's often rather hard! The benefit is developing a set of "mental heuristics" to figure out what parts of a code

First and foremost, I applaud the effort to encourage FRP in React applications, especially in the form of an actual library which treats it as a first-class citizen. I think this library is a step in the right direction for state managemen
