Just keep updating everything on every input event! Sounds crazy but with virtual DOM it should be pretty doable at least for prototypes. https://github.com/unframework/vdom-live

If possible, please share what exactly made them change their minds. It is still concerning that this phone call did not happen right away (especially given the business-critical nature of the issue) - many new Web companies end up with a K

> competent but humble This is the issue that I have with job postings demanding "kickass developers/designers/etc". I am good at what I do, but I would never use terms "kickass ninja" or "top shelf hac

It's amazing how much peer pressure via culture accounts for us being "civil". There is a link between an individual mostly-harmless action (flick a cigarette butt on the sidewalk) and the very visible systemic effect of a

Agreed: 2FA protects against password leaks on other sites from being applied to the system in question. In this case it would have been more reassuring to hear them disclose what was the attack vector (e.g. social engineering, email troj

Empathy is the actual mechanism for how those other things (quality, etc) are achieved. Diversity helps empathy (represent the user and relate to them better).

I saw the "design thinkers" dig, and even though I get that it's a jab at folks who put on the ostentatious display of agency fluff, I feel the need to mention that actual design thinking (in the general sense of caring for g

Very interesting, although it took me a second reading to understand that it is about dev framework (source code) usability, not the resulting task interface UX usability itself. Given how "usability" as a word is conventionally

I feel a lot of folks are not mentioning a huge thing CoffeeScript is valuable for - its list comprehensions and proper for-each. JS has them too as part of ES5 spec, but CS still is an elegant solution. It creates a whole new way to speak

There is no intrinsic reason why these numbers should not be proportional to society in the long run, that's why we compare the ratios. Not even considering issues of equality and access, diversity as a thing in and of itself is at lea

I'd argue that a CEO's past causes and political background affects their ability to lead towards success. Not because of innate analytical/communicative capacity difference in the individual, but just public relations angle

I think "activateUser" seems more semantic than "UserActivation/create" - that's just Kingdom of Nouns again.

An email in your inbox is two things: an imperative to act (reply, call, do something based on the email), and a piece of searchable supporting information for that action - or anything else, really. So what you describe is pretty close alr

This may not be about changing that particular CEO's attitudes but about sharing the experience with the rest of us, so that we all may extract something out of it. It's a statement that "this happened" - we make of it w

I think that no game is really "single player" for that reason: there's almost always other people to share the experience with, even through non-electronic means. And of course the game creator is also a player - a metaphori

Fuck and other profanities are signal words for extreme emotional state. Professionalism includes remaining fair and emotionally unaffected under most reasonable conditions. Hence the dissonance of using "fuck" and other charged (

Commented-out code is a "FIXME" to-do item that has no explanation of intent. If I comment out code, I always annotate it with a @todo marker and an explanation of why it is commented out. Otherwise, just delete it - commit messag

I hate to go meta, but that last sentence in your post could have been omitted with no detriment to the post's message and great improvement to the tone.

I think that focus requirements for a trader or a banker are different than for a programmer. I.e. there's less need for stretches of uninterrupted deep focused thinking.

Actually, I would compare AngularJS to Node's Express or Ruby's Sinatra. Because by and large it's actually a set of highly reusable and composable blocks that make very few assumptions about what you're trying to do (as

The line is in the intent. If I hand the librarian a piece of paper with that SQL-injecting ISBN my culpability depends on whether I was aware of the likely gravity of my actions or whether e.g. I was told to get that piece of paper by a tr

Semantic = for developers. I.e. not in the "make it nice for web crawlers" sense, but for readability of template code . So for my own workflow, I have been quite comfortable being a "semantic stickler", where markup is

Why do you think that the response is addressing your person directly? It is saying that similar logic is employed by fairly powerful folks, and attacks that logic, not your own personal experience.

I found I could never concentrate in a coffee shop. It depends on the task, ultimately. But the dream is of the metaphorical coffee shop, of course. You could work in a colourful bean-bag-chair-filled brick-and-beam, but still be miserable

Would it be more ethical to not read the article, warn others of the modal and refuse the site further traffic instead of copy-pasting copyrighted fruit of someone's labour?

Honestly, I never noticed myself feeling that way. Is this really losing that many sales when it comes down to metrics? To me, coupons are always seen as temporary gifts from the company to butter up my loyalty. So paying full price still
