It's more of an extension to the cache philosophy. Service Workers let you handle caches more directly and describe what your site looks like when you have no internet at all. In a lot of cases that doesn't really make sense, but

This process makes a ton of sense, once you start thinking of websites as online applications (and not just a bunch of page content, but even then sometimes it's worth thinking about page content as an application). It's also su

That's odd. I am replying here, although there are a number of atom-is-slow comments throughout the thread. I don't find it to be slow with normal-sized sourcefiles. By "normal", I mean less than, say 5kb of text per fil

Sorry for the delay, I've been AFK all day. My assertion (which it, for the most part is) is not based necessarily on body count (which is an important statistic, but not the totality of terrorist goals, which are to assert dominance a

You understand how bayesian reasoning works, right? There are probably between three and six million muslims in France alone. Whatever monitoring you're doing, you're proposing to find on the order of a few hundred people, if th

I'm sure that you don't have a problem if confirmations are unstyled. But I'm also sure that a lot of users differ in that regard and would expect at least some styling on that non-marketing, but still system-generated emails

I sure would love it if the gmail client supported more modern web stuff. The history of web development has always been a history of the Lowest Common Denominator: I'm held back from doing XYZ because this browser / email client

Hmm, I always just thought it was a corruption of "same as that". I guess your way makes more sense. And yeah, I could have looked at wikipedia a long time ago.

Separation of concerns and better variable scoping as well. In a webcomonent inside a shadow dom, you can do something like input id="mainInput" or some other generic-named DOM id, without worrying that some other third-party libr

I use webcomponents (specifically Polymer stuff), and all I do is just roll together all the components I'm going to need for an app in one big concat-and-minified file. You don't have to fetch a gazillion components, any more t

I use quill in my big internal CMS / forum mashup project that's not (quite) ready to share yet. It's pretty rad. There's a related library [0] that is the rich text specification for operational transforms. By wiring th

I dunno - I get the privacy concerns, sure. But passwordless requires the user have an email address to receive the nonce, and it requires the developer to deal with that flow. It also requires transactional email, which can be laggy at tim

So I guess I'll be the goose at the party, or whatever the metaphor is for the person who disagrees with the headline. First of all: author complains about spec and then pitches their in-house (non-free) solution. This is something lik

A long read, but a good one. I've seen the MBTI used in lots of places, and as someone trained in cognitive science, I've always looked askance at it. It's tough to think about how we can reduce personality to four axes that

The real important question is: are there other sources for made-in-america clothing? Alternatively: sweatshop-free, living-wage clothing not necessarily made in America? I am not AA's target demographic, but I tend to buy their t-shir

You are archaic. I _almost_ said 'your archaic' there. Grammar, spelling and punctuation are often arbitrary rules that are difficult to grok, except with extensive experience with them. One of the best ways to discourage that exp

Aha! Here I thought this was an anomaly - normally stuff from BoingBoing is stuff I read on HN the day before. I thought maybe this time it was the other way around - we're discussing a BB article. But no, just a more extended circle.

That's actually a more articulate, but redundant codicil to the argument I made in the rest of the post. Multiple tests will result in significance at some alpha, since you just have to test enough times to get a lucky test. There are

Statistically significant means statistically significant and is independent of sample size. If your p-value is less than 0.01, then there's less than a 1% chance that the pattern you're seeing is due to random fluctuations of the

True, I was being a little reductionist there. But I think that the charter school movement took off shortly after and directly because the voucher movement sunk. There's a lot of isomorphic economic policy between the two, although if
