That's just like, your opinion, man.. It's called a context menu for a reason. It is a menu that offers options based on your current context. If you think of gmail as an application and not just a website, it makes sense no? That

I'd like to see more of these things! I feel like a REST API is the interface, and a web app is just the implementation. Makes sense to separate the two. Although somewhat unrelated, this reminds me of https://thrift.apache.

Ehh show me the data and we'll talk. I'm pretty sure youtube did some serious usability testing before deploying the loading bars.

I guess in theory you could do something like this: y = 0 test = (x) -> `var y = 10` x + y The language is open source... we could fix it!

Portage is really worth the time it takes to setup Gentoo. Really, it doesn't take more than a few hours on a server install, and most of it is unattended. There's also Funtoo ( http://funtoo.org ) out there, which is ma

I remember reading through that website when I was researching game object systems. Very useful resource! Here's my implementation of a component-based game object system, if interested: https://github.com/surjikal&#x2F

They are very useful when you want to build modular web components, and for just overall maintainability of your stylesheets. I wouldn't reject someone because they don't know what rem is though! I'd think of the question as a bonus I guess

I find that the "front-end developer" title is overloaded. On one end of the spectrum, it means someone that can create and design UI mockups, and implement them using CSS and jQuery. For that type of job, asking algorithm questions makes v

I always have problems when running sed, especially with capture groups. I can never get the syntax right for non-trivial stuff. I wish there was a sed-like tool that used python or javascript regex syntax!

Assuming that at some point blink will support multiple language VMs, will source maps still be needed (for blink)? Sorry if this is a naive question!

Right, I wasn't saying this in a negative way :). That is quite interesting!

Super excited about this! There was a long discussion on the webkit mailing list after google tried to add support for multiple language VMs in webkit. The goal was to have a native Dart VM. https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/20

Sorry, I was not attacking anyone in particular. It's just that there are so many facets to programming, and being good at it really depends on the context. That said, anyone that learns from their mistakes will become great.

It's like people don't understand that JavaScript is a language. The browser is just giving you a JavaScript API.

Google Now is killer. The 'aha' moment for me was when I was visiting New York City: A few hours after my arrival, it told me that a favorite musician of mine was going to perform at a venue close to my location. I would have never known if
