I just assumed the naming thing was for properties shared between grid and flexbox (such as align-items). It is still pretty frustrating to remember that kind of stuff though.

All that said, I was working on 1.x code for quite some time, and only started playing with angular 2+ after 4.0.0 had been released. If I had started a new project during the transition, I probably would have ended up using react. Mostly t

I use angular 4.x for two and a half reasons in a small shop (e.g., just me, making internal web apps for my org) (1) Ionic makes it relatively easy to bundle angular apps into hybrid-native packaging. I personally know it's not much d

The first thing that needs to change is the core resolution mechanic. The dice system is just flat out silly, and looks like a transparent attempt to make money by selling custom dice. The die resolution system could easily and with very

Yeah, I'm also in favor of experimentation and a rich ecosystem of ideas. Worst case is one of those heavily-contextual rpg engines that only lives in one system, such as Rotted Capes. It's an okay enough system (but mathematicall

i thought about this at some point (i enjoy game mastering and have a lot of campaigns i've written up in notebooks and so on), but I can't see any way to make this actually work. Assume you can run one session a night, for five p

We've got this amazing supply of great and interesting RPG engines out now, which I think the broad internet community (just people getting together to DIY stuff) and crowdfunding (lots of these systems are kickstarted) sort of came to

depending on the age of the kids, you might be interested in facilitating No Thank You, Evil. It's designed to be run by an older kid, but parents can GM as well. I've not played, but I have heard good reviews. http://w

depending on where you live, you might have some luck via meetups. i'm a long-time rpg player, but I lost my group when I moved to esseph. Meetup started the networking process - there's a lot of D&D and other RPG meetup gro

It was pretty positive. I bought two area rugs from them, both are holding up well. According to my order history, they're now 2.8 years old, so I'd say I'm pleased. Not super-cheap ($375 for the two of them), but free shippi

I bought a couple of rugs from wayfair, mainly because it was a convenient way to buy rugs, as in: I didn't really want to go shopping for a long time to find a rug that met my needs (dimension, colors, price). I'm currently in th

That said, prosemirror also looks pretty rad, and I will also be checking that out eventually also. I feel like there's room for both in the world.

For the record, I know jchen has already responded but I thought I'd add my bit here. I display html content based on quill data all the time. I've done it using quill to generate the html source, by writing a separate library to

Yeah, that plus the fact that the campaign is just running on their own site (rather than a third-party crowdfund site like kickstarter, fig, crowdsupply or indiegogo) means that we're kind of relying on their word as to how much suppo

This actually factored into my purchasing decision when I got a baratza grinder. I'd been using a hand crank burr grinder for about a year, and figured it was worth getting an electric one. Mine is pretty easy to disassemble, there&#x2

I really like the ulid library. Does what I want, compact representation, and lexicographically sorting ulids in time order is great. The character subset is URL friendly, so this is my go-to when I'm making nonces if I am not worried

that is correct - some percentage of every KS campaign fails to collect due to rejected CC charges / chargebacks etc. According to this older (2015) article [0], in 2014 KS had $529 MM in pledges, but only collected $444 MM. So: that&#

Hmm, interesting. I will admit I missed that (as it was halfway through the FAQ, and I've got to say: passive aggressive). That said, they make it sound like you get charged up front when you back, and will get a refund if it fails to

I am sort of troubled by the crowdfund page. It is obviously designed to look like a kickstarter page, but it is in fact not a kickstarter. Say what you will about kickstarter, but I have questions. Will the campaign charge you even if it d

There are two ways to interpret their funding goals: based on projected cost and based on projected backers. 1.5 million dollars may not be very much money for smartphone development, but it is very ambitious as a crowdfund goal. It basical

The story goes: BetaMax didn't want pornography on their platform, but VHS allowed it. The porn industry went to VHS and this fact is widely credited with being the reason why VHS won the format war. However, this story probably isn&#x

This is absolutely correct. It may be better in quantifiable end-user metrics to have different native desktop apps for every user. However, it is far worse in developer cost to write those apps in native frameworks. The trade-off being
