When you're engineering at that level, you probably aren't a fanboy, and more likely to be a rational engineer. He's been on record a number of times extolling the iPhone's architecture for gaming. Lots of peeps at Googl

Wow, er, either you're cherry picking from what he said, you skipped ahead, or you misunderstood him. He spends nearly all of his introduction prior to the spot that offends you talking about how the old paradigm of doing things was in

What was the prior version of the iPhone? Genuinely curious. I've heard references to the Apple Newton, but that's about it. Also, unless something was out by decades prior, I feel it's a bit difficult to truly know when some

I haven't really found redux to be all that unstable, though.

by moogleii 11y ago
That's definitely the Redux dream I'm trying to achieve, but as I mentioned in a comment elsewhere, it feels like there is a lot of initial setup. And with each new container, the setup process just starts over. I haven't cra

I might be misunderstanding you, but if you mean handling state at run-time, I feel like handling it in multiple places would be more complex, no? Otherwise, you can actually define state handlers (or as redux calls it, reducers) in multipl

I have not used flux. It's not difficult to understand Redux, but the setup is not simple. Defining the constants, defining the actions, then defining the reducers. It's a lot of moving parts. Throw in the connection to react via

by moogleii 11y ago
I disagree about the jsx, but I do agree about Redux. React is beautiful in its simplicity, but Redux kind of throws all that out the window and adds all the missing complexity back in. Granted, part of that is due to the relatively simple

So did Allen Long get anything? "Telegraphist Allen Long quickly located the coding device which looked like a typewriter. Long “pressed the keys and. finding results peculiar, sent it up the hatch”."

It doesn't matter if you're American or not, nor is it a matter of political correctness or scholarship. It is what it is, and you are doing it. You can try to red herring it and spout off about the American PC crap all you wish,

It's dubious because he didn't respond as you would? I never thought I'd be reminded of victim blaming here, yet here I am. Unless you personally know the OP, you have no idea what the OP's personality is like. Sure, I p

I've definitely been there. Their receptionist told the CEO the wrong time. I showed up on time, and all the C-levels I was supposed to meet were gone. They gave me over to some other manager for a courtesy interview, but I already kne

I've worked at enough places to see twerps like that, it doesn't seem very far fetched to me. It's just classic abuse of power. Granted, they're outliers, but they are out there. Really, though, in the grand scheme of ab

Every restaurant in NYC seems to have a defibrillator, so it could be doable.

I meant it differs visually. I suppose it's possible Google has a different looking G for a compressed variant, but that would just be even more odd from a branding perspective.

His final "G" is pretty different from both of Google's new G's.

Actually, they're saying it's likely they were eating fresh water fish, which I think is a very astute observation that the article doesn't go into. Japan itself did not bother eating salmon for fear of parasites until much l

I didn't read the ruling, and I'm not sure if any one of those points is a "killer" vs the others, but I have seen that autonomy is a big check to determine contractor vs employee (touched on by 2, 5, and 6). Loosely spe

I'd probably pick the torture, too, but I think proponents of humane killing are comparing it with inhumane killing, so it's more like, would you rather choose to die painlessly, or endure weeks of incredibly painful torture befor

Eh, that's debatable. Could be confirmation bias because we're just used to it being that way for the last x decades. Fairly sure that if I asked my computer illiterate grandma which made more sense, google.com or com.google, the

Sure, that is the explicit goal, but throughout history, missionaries/explorers have always brought something back with them, be it physical items or ideas. That's just part of the nature of "exploration". Unless someone

I'm not totally opposed to the idea since there's an artistic goal behind it. Kinda like Instagram filters, which I admittedly used to oppose, but for Instagram's purpose, which isn't vying for National Geographic awards
