I like the design of the API, but I don't understand what you mean by "built on top of express?" I see you have express in a plugin module, but I'm not sure how it's being used.

I have a project that uses Flow. I've had no complaints with it so far, but I've been craving the IDE support of TypeScript. What's the difference between the type system of TypeScript and Flow? Would it be worthwhile to swit

It's a neat demo, but it would be a lot neater if it recognized something that I chose to draw rather than something I am told to draw.

He probably meant "Anti-West" attitudes, not anti-colonialism. Coming from a third world country myself, I know there is a tendency to deny and dismiss some socially disruptive innovations because of their origin. There is a cultu

I think you're mixing up the intended use of the "toy project," i.e. skill development, with the complexity of a real world project with a growing number of use cases, including a proliferating number of mobile devices and fe

Anyone who builds APIs that talk to microservices has this problem, not just huge companies. As for the lock in, working in this paradigm would be impossible without a smart client library. Similarly, GraphQL has Relay. But Falcor's cl

There has been a similar program being run by New York Public Library in the last year. I think programs like this can make libraries relevant again. http://hotspot.nypl.org/

I saw that you're collecting credit card numbers on your form... You know that if you are storing them on your servers, you need to follow FDIC regulations, right? Otherwise, you are exposing yourself to a huge liability. I'd also

I completed 23 courses on Coursera and I love the platform. But I don't buy the notion that Coursera is becoming the lead generator for the traditional universities. I would never trade in my learning experience with one where I have t

How is it different from MiniZinc? It looks less mature to me. No online documentation even, as far as I can tell.

This is very exciting. Facebook's commitment to open source never ceases to impress me. They could keep this technology to themselves and have light years or we'd only read it in academic papers, like Google has done with its core

Have we learned nothing in the last 10 years? Aside from the siren song of better performance, there are few other reasons to model your domain in the database. Throwing business logic into stored procedures wily-nilly is a terrible idea fo
