I think it's generally assumed that more money equals better physical health, but the psychological aspects are very underrated. Money equals certainty for a lot of people. It lets them count on certain things always being there. Hav

That's a great summary, thank you. What about the rate of improvement? Do you think it will be significantly more developer friendly in a few months?

I've never tried Rust or Rocket, but it appears to be gaining popularity, so I have the following questions for existing users: What's it like to work with? Do you prefer it to JS/PHP/Python for web related projects? Can

So domain front running is a thing (I actually coined the term yesterday without knowing it was already a thing!): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_front_running According to the article, it seems it's

I'm a non-CS grad, but have been programming almost daily since I was 11 (so about 20 years). I'm more or less self taught and I now run a tech company, with around 50 tech staff, most of them coders. When I hire someone, I pretty

This sounds totally unethical to me. Is someone regulating this? Have they ever been fined for such underhand tactics?

But in those examples, offline mode still makes a lot of sense. For example, looking up bookings when signal is bad (when on a train), or past multimedia messages within you chats etc etc.

This is where the paradigm shift is coming. Your past experiences say it must be a desktop native app, but I believe things like WASM, web workers etc will allow such things to run comfortably in the browser. I really do believe people will

Hmm, I don't think I ever mentioned AMP in my posts. I know the blog post talked about it, but I was focusing on the PWA bit, as it's something I'm fairly experienced with. When the guy mentioned 15MB, I was simply saying tha

I assume you mean video editing. Many reasons, but the top one in my opinion is having a single code base across all devices. I think it's a worthwhile goal, personally.

I absolutely agree with you there. I bet if we ran a compression algorithm on all the apps in the app store, we would achieve a 90%+ reduction, on account of all the repeated boilerplate code!

by osrec 8y ago
Not really - imagine if you're looking to create a fully featured video editor, complete with 3d effects and whatnot. It could well exceed 15mb to deliver all the required functionality.

by osrec 8y ago
I agree that the initial hit to download 15MB is a lot. But if we think of native apps, users would need to download them from the app store as well. If their internet is slow, both experiences are bad. Having re-read your post, you seem to

There seems to be a few misconceptions around what is and what isn't a PWA. A PWA (in my opinion) is simply a website that makes use of certain browser features (e.g. service workers, push notifications, manifests). It's a bad def

by osrec 8y ago
If it's just a website, then I agree that is indeed excessive. If, however, it's 15mb of useful functionality (perhaps an app that lets you edit and encode video), then in my eyes, it's acceptable, and probably a good candida

But you do need "PWA" if you want your site to work offline. PWAs were never really sold as something that would make your site's initial load time faster. Not really sure how the author got that impression. It's almost

To understand code quickly, I recommend grabbing the source repo and adding it to an IDE so you can easily jump from a function call to it's declaration etc and just hop around the code. Sometimes, however, an IDE can get in the way, a

I extend it further: the moment you need to verify that something happened outside the system, your blockchain is broken.

I don't think you're quite right. The Bay Area is not a nation! It benefits from being part of the United States. I also see no cogency in your oil example. Just because you need to process oil to put it to use, are you suggesting

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. In a sense, I'm agreeing with you. Passion is a luxury in India, yes, but because of the way society has been set up. We need to change things so as to nurture the passions of ou

I'm not sure what you mean? Being naturally rich in resources is pretty much what makes you rich in the material sense. Other countries would kill/have killed for India's resources.

You are ratifying my point, especially in your deleted comment. The rest of this response was originally for your deleted comment. I think it makes sense here as well: A poorly funded school is a governmental/societal failing. As is th

Are we really poor? Or are we just badly managing ourselves? Seriously, in a country as naturally rich as India, there is no reason for people to be emaciated with poverty during peacetime. If only we had more passionate people willing to s

My personal situation, on a relative scale, is rather more tragic. I would suggest you not to make that assumption about my upbringing, for you would be quite incorrect.
