The corporate arm of Google has some seriously strange Scientology style vibes about it and I think that is a big driver naturally in their approach to design. If you go and read the material design docs for example, this isn’t my full time

Honestly from the outside looking in when you look at the big picture I don’t find it that much of a mystery. Long term plans are a unified model of computing under the Fuschia umbrella which is going to run everywhere from iot to servers.

I’m simply pointing out that their reputation is significantly better than it should be. This is the same company that had to install suicide nets at their factories in the same country. They are also the same company who have engaged in so

It’s kind of strange to think about Apple is kind of known to “fight the US government at every step to protect privacy” and then reconcile all the public goodwill they have with this article. One of the core reasons people seem to love the

I wouldn't mistake popularity with attention. Dart is actually super actively developed and I am still saying in the year 2021 that it is going to become a very big deal once Fuschia drops which could be as early as this week at I&#x2F

I'd be totally OK with the magic in something like Spring or Ruby on Rails is another good example if it had code I could inspect when things go wrong. That is really my one and only complaint that I have about "magic". I cur

Reading the plea deal from yesterday from Greenberg was so ridiculous at how little anyone tried to hide anything. The entire thing from start to finish was documented by them in one form or another, how it went on as long as it did shocks

I’ve been looking into this for about a year. This is going to sound crazy right now but I’m saying Fuschia is going to just straight up change computing in the medium term future. I’m expecting it’s first release next week at I/O and

Listen I’m glad this approach seems to work to you and I hope it might even get you through some dark times one day, but there is a reason you are using contrived child like examples here, it’s because it doesn’t hold up to anything remotel

I really don’t know what you mean by teaching mastery of ones self control to children. They are kids not monks. You can teach them all the self control you like, I don’t think there is a serious argument that let’s say for some particularl

Serious question: do you think that was some great thing that we should continue doing?

It’s truly hard to overstate what a ridiculous position you have staked out here with this argument. You’ve picked some arbitrary definition of what it means to be a victim based on god only knows what philosophy or life experience and then

I’ve not read the book but the first thing that came to mind was how does this explain the boomers? If I am understanding the premise correctly it’s implying there’s some meaningful distinction across generational lines about mental resilie

I don't really how you took a bug in Selenium and somehow turned it into an indictment of Shadow DOM.

I’m pretty actively following a lot of the web components community so I thought I would jump in here with some hopefully helpful information. Depending on what you mean by SEO it’s worth noting that for a while now Google and I believe Bin

It’s genuinely hard to tell if you are serious about this or not. Either way it somehow perfectly encapsulated the kind of thing this website is famous for. Congratulations?

It’s worth keeping in mind that Flutter for web had its 1.0 release a matter of weeks ago. It’s very impressive with what they have done so far but let’s see where it goes. The amount of potential there is truly huge.

I thought that was Dart. Which is honestly a shame because it’s a genuinely great language. But it does very much fit the bill otherwise

Making an argument that even the person who was supposedly fired for poor performance was STILL able to find what she found with almost zero effort on her behalf isn’t the compelling argument you seem to imagine it to be.

Let me give you some more context rather than this shitty throwaway cynicism. This is an issue that the employee thought was important enough to share that she had to give up almost $70k in severance. https://twitter.com/szh

I’m not sure if you actually read the article but it was written with the whistleblower who was literally a data scientist and kept pointing out how easy it was to clearly identify (and therefore stop) these cases in question. They weren’t

I find it interesting watching the web coming to the desktop through projects like Electron and at the other end of the spectrum coming from native to the web with things like Flutter. It feels like a race to see which one can overcome its

I was recently trying to answer this question while playing around with Dapr (amazing project by the way). So despite it being a solution that has existed for distributed systems since the 70s I was watching a talk from Microsoft on the top
