On the first page is a nice table with the yearly performance data of Berkshire versus the S&P 500. I wanted to see it as a graph. So I cleaned it up in VIM and then made this chart from it: https://www.productchart.com/

Customizability of the web is a pet peeve of mine. And I wonder if selecting the color of text and background should really be a function of the website that the text is on. There is no technical reason why not everybody should be able to s

What I find interesting is what he says he loses by doing so. 60000 followers. No word about losing business. Or interesting discussions. Or inspiration. Or meeting likeminded people. Or getting feedback. Or anything. I think many people co

Wordpress is a tool to make websites. Yes, you can put your content on a website and then link to that from Twitter. But that puts a big barrier in front of your content and the Twitter users. Visiting a website is usually a horrible experi

The main problem I have with Twitter is that when you reply to your own tweets, the reply will appear as a new tweet on your timeline. This way your timeline becomes total chaos. Unless you only tweet a single 280 chars text and never add a

The slide says by 'TypeScript'. Not by 'Types'. So the static code analysis of the typescript compiler would have catched the bugs. Without examples of those bugs it's hard to say if types play a role here. It could

Why do you want to run 3 functions in parallel?

One easy way to do multiple http requests in parallel are the curl_muli functions: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-multi-init.php

It's interesting that he names Symfony 4 as one of the main reasons he uses PHP again after he already used PHP with Laravel. I have a lot of discussions with friends in the startup scene about the topic of Laravel vs Symfony. So far i

Interesting. Coding without a framework is rare these days. I would like to hear more about how you do the basic infrastructure stuff usually provided by a framework: Routing Templating DB abstraction

Yes, we hopefully get there at some point. I have categorized over 1600 feature requests so far. A 'Comes with Linux preinstalled filter' is not yet at the top, but it is in the top 5% of requested features.

I would love a 2-in-1! Especially if the keyboard could be disconnected. But then you don't have the option of a matte screen. And that is essential for me. I am waiting for the day we have matte touchscreens.

There is a lot to of good to be said about the XPS series. I love them for all my coding tasks. The only problem is that you cannot open the display up fully. They block at 160° or so. In many situations it would be super useful to have the

I am not sure how to interpret the article. Does it mean there will be a way to upload an 8-Bit PNG image as a header image and Twitter will store and display it unmodified? That would be a great step forward. Currently, the compressed head

Agreed. If I was to place a bet on which framework will grow faster over the next year, I would pick Vue.

by no_gravity 8y ago
I think that measuring relative numbers would make sense if we assume exponential growth. But looking at 2016,2017 and 2018, it seems to be rather linear: https://2018.stateofjs.com/front-end-frameworks/vuejs

It is interesting to compare the popular front end frameworks year over year. The percentages for 'Used it, would use it again': 2017: React: 58% Vue : 20% 2018: React: 65% Vue : 29% So both have been g

It might be interesting to calculate the 'primeness' of complex numbers and then render the values as shades of grey on the complex plane. Some years I did something similar for the 'divisibility' of prime numbers and th
