I'd be inclined to agree with you once the application has reached a certain level of complexity. If you're doing anything vaguely complicated around how you fetch/display/mutate your server data, then it can be a much

Oh, actually, one thing that I'm not 100% sure about is accessibility.

Extra complexity. If you're building something simple, it's often quicker or easier to reason about if you just put it together with a basic web framework. But if you're doing anything reasonably advanced or specifically need

Am I the only one who feels like this has been talked about for a long, long time? I actually already thought that Flash had been just about eradicated from the major browsers.

Agreed. If anybody thinks the real problem with Meteor is that it uses an antiquated templating system they're missing the bigger picture.
156.
by mxxx 11y ago
I couldn't agree more. One of the most expensive things we have to do on Meteor projects is constantly re-mapping the way we think about our data so it works in a noSQL paradigm. If they were serious about the framework they'd dro

Gee that video really made me cringe. Hey, maybe if we dress the CEO in a hoodie, put him in front of an electric guitar with his batman figurines and make him say edgy things like "bullshit" a couple of times, the kids will relat

So if the popular theory that he's faked a lot of the evidence to make himself look like Satoshi is true, it would appear he didn't entirely think his plan through...

One of the major selling points of React is isomorphic templating though, so it's a valid criticism.

If you really need to, I don't mind this pattern... {conditional && ( <div>throw whatever you want</div> <div>in here.</span> )}

Yeah the idea that taking a taxi is a way to reduce your energy consumption footprint is absurd. Get on a bike or catch public transport you nimrod.

Is this actually the first that's been heard of this? I had no idea...

At our work we give devs a choice of whatever hardware they want. Mostly that means Apple hardware, although some people use it to boot Linux VMs. We believe that if you're given the tools you want, you're able to work at your b

i guess it wouldn't matter in this particular example, but some browsers apply different security restrictions to the file:// protocol than they do to http.

It's essentially a hybrid of Aperture and iPhoto. Similar to what they did with Final Cut Pro and iMovie. Basically they remove all the really powerful features and replace them with an interface a 4 year old could use. It'll p

oh, it's amazing, isn't it. really excellent TV. i remember when i watched it a couple of years ago i was blown away with how watchable it was, considering how old it is. i was kind of expecting to be disappointed.

sidenote, i just showed this to a friend and his response was "Be a great way to ensure you can tell heaps of ----s to go ---- themselves after you're dead" maybe you could pivot and focus on that. ;)

That's pretty cool, the "flicking through TV" feel of the thing. You could consider pre-loading the second video though so it's a bit quicker...?

it stopped working with soundcloud urls recently, maybe a month or two ago. good for ripping youtubes though.

hey, the regex filter is great but if i hit control-F I'm trying to use the browser search function, you shouldn't be capturing and overriding that.

Yes.

In the hope that this very situation arises, I'd say.

Certainly is. During uni I did some work in a bar in a hotel, and one day the manager came in and said he'd been googling the name of the hotel and found a video on youtube. It was a video of a toilet in one of the rooms being flushed

Looks good. Although out of all the CLIs I use on a daily basis, I'd have to say Brew is probably the easiest and most user-friendly.

Looks like it lets you use localStorage/sessionStorage in a useful way. Out of the box they're just key-value stores, but if you use this you could use them as a pseudo-db. In terms of use cases, I was mocking up an angular app th
