Same nuget been a huge pain in this. I would have been nice to have a ready made msbuild script that would result in web deploy packages (we release with on premise TFS RM) but we were able to make one manually. I expect .net core to have b

I work in a place where I'm in the low end of the age spectrum at 30. The company is in the Financial industry and was founded in the 70s. It has a long history of using technology so many engineers started 10-20+ years ago. The compan

Interesting take albeit I'm not sure most would be ok with putting what they see as their own interests (myself included) aside in order to elect Trump to prevent potential harm by Hillary to the third world. I'm curious what do y

Right, start with something simple, say a form and add client side validation to it. Move to making a small widget that updates with data obtained async using plain XHR. Add some styling with out preprocessors (so you know why they make lif

"Here's another perspective. I started learning JS in reverse and ended up just creating my own framework because it was less verbose. But you would hire me over your patch-and-patch fellows?" Yes more likely. In fact I would

Lazyness is a virtue for software engineers in my opinion.

I've had interview candidates for frontend developer positions who only know how to build web pages using frameworks like Angular and React. They don't seem to understand how those frameworks work but essentially patch together a

Unit tests is not the primary way to choose one frontend framework or another. It's one aspect to look at but i don't think this boils down to unit tests at all.

I dunno I think they are on par as far as toolchain goes. autotools, cmake etc.. are no worse or better than gulp, webpack etc...

by nkassis 10y ago
That's been my annoyance too. Instead of iterating on what's there everyone makes their own thing and tries to reinvent build tools, frameworks, web components, module loaders, transpilers, package mangers etc... It is improving s

Noticed that under build tools, JSPM wasn't mentioned. Is it no longer popular? I've had a ok experience using it and systemjs been pretty good so far to get es6 module support and typescript working. I guess JSPM wouldn't fi

I think those rules while they try to be helpful guidelines end up being more confusing than just giving a straight guidelines like "Try to include multiple varieties of vegetables in your meals". Maybe that example isn't the

"If bugs don't eat it, you probably shouldn't, either." I hear a lot of similar broad generic guidelines around food all the time that end up being ridiculous. For example someone earlier told me I should look at my meal

"Your argument is assuming something that I don't believe is true, which is that we're already on the Pareto optimality frontier for security/convenience. It is certainly true that you can not forever increase security w

I also agree with this, security is always in a balancing act with convenience. Yahoo fell to far into the convenience side on this one but that debate on security vs convenience is happening in everywhere. The issue I've seen is that

Not really what the video addresses for the most part. Mostly talking about their development process and impact of breaking up their application into 1000s of microservices. This is more to handle their development team scaling, rate of ch

In the case of edge, Microsoft could do both. Not sure where the drawback would be.

Not sure what you mean, it has benefited from security researchers looking at the code base. They haven't found everything but they found many things.

Has Oracle shown an interest? But like Salesforce, why would Oracle they be interested? I may be missing something but it is not at all obvious how twitter is related to the type of thing those two companies are currently doing.

Not to mention the fact that the whole of github is probably a bunch of disparate little project worked on by individual teams that would require a lot of effort to turn into something that could be run by an individual person. Probably mak

That's a huge factor. It's anecdotal but it's one of the factors that I feel prevent me from considering it and coworkers I've talked about entrepreneurship states similar concerns.

I think it's a pipe dream to imagine that all future interactions will be through mobile devices like phones. The way I see it mobile is adding extra time spent with tech instead of replacing desktop entirely. People spend more time on

As a way to bring something like this to the US. I wonder if something like this could work as a similar model to Toms. Buy one give one away to a family need.

I do take home a lot more than I would in the Canada. Cost of living in the US isn't 2x Canada but salaries for tech jobs are (And keep in mind that was a while back, it's now more than that). Health is covered by my employer, I p

Because some of those would be fine as occasional use websites. Yet they just have to force a stupid popup telling you to install their app.

by nkassis 10y ago
But you gotta admit a lot of recent grads end up leaving. I'm another Canadian who left given I was offered doubled my salary in one move.

I think it was kind of a joke with some seriousness to it. It's really easy for Canadians to move to the US to work. So a large chunk of the highly qualified Canadians do leaving less in Canada. Canada suffers a shortage of highly qua

Check out the Riemann sphere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sphere I thought it was cool when I first saw it. Infinity in the complex plane is one of the poles.
