   Each 'card' is simply a couple of div elements. You can replicate it pretty easily by inspecting the elements.

   Is it as mature or have as large of a (server-focused) community? No, but I might consider this over Go or Rust because I already know Swift (from iOS development), and I haven't used Go or Rust at all. Fluency and confidence speed dev

   I'm a little confused. Is this competitive to something like Spark?

   I guess the other commenters missed it or chose to ignore it, but I enjoyed your joke!

   It certainly does help, but it's also (IMO) not a pattern to be adopted without some forethought, especially if want to mix async and sync style patterns. In practice, I have usually seen people go (mostly) all in on one or the other.

   I have written a medium-sized code base Angular 2 app with RxJs... mostly because my hand was forced by its use in the Angular 2 http service. Once I wrapped my head around it, I grew to accept and appreciate it. That said, it can certainly

   If you know all of this stuff, I'm fairly certain you know enough to research, i.e., Google, writing a basic CRUD app with ASP.NET Core—and it won't take long. I'm relatively new to .NET (though an experienced developer) and

   I'm afraid your bar for not being surprised is getting quite high ;-) I am familiar with many of the contributors of those open-source projects from IRC and their mailing lists. Not every vocal contributor is an Apple employee, i.e., E

   Fanboy, patriot... not sure where the venom or reaching conclusions are coming from, but at least we can agree this has become boring :-)

    I think you're projecting. I have bought Apple products because they work best for me in light of other options, but I don't consider them above criticism or reproach. Calling someone a fanboy is just as old (and frankly, quite si

    It's not that I don't consider any one else worth following; that's neither what I wrote nor meant. My apologies if that's what came across. Surely there are tons of talented folk behind the scenes, and I am not disparag

    Ah, sure. Below are a handful (off the top of my head) that I admire: Sal Soghoian: automation engineering expert "relieved" of duties for whatever reasons; consulting now I believe Tony Fadell: went on to Nest, acquired by Google

    I don't follow your logic. Of course it was about me... and which engineers that work or (worked) for Apple I admire and follow. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Yeah, but that's not what I said.

    So... are you down voting my comment because you don't consider it a quality comment, or do you just not like what I have to say?

    Welp... there goes the last of the innovators I admired/followed at Apple. Edit: perhaps the problem is that you assume I'm just tossing gasoline on the ever-loved and popular rag-on-Apple fire. I have been an active clang/ll

    That's funny, down feels more natural to me coming from a (amateur) guitarist's perspective.

    Perhaps it's because I am involved in the security industry, but I struggled to find any substance or "thought-leadership" in this article. Your comment, on the other hand, was far more interesting and substantial—so thanks f

    Very similar experience here with that same album except I was in high school and it was 1999. That album, from "Too High" all the way though "He's Misstra Know-It-All", is a piece of perfection.

    I hesitate to be contrarian because I don't want to discourage what I perceive to be an innocent enough exploratory effort by curious and creative students... but as a long time drummer and computer scientist, this document was underwh

    You say overworked, but I think underpaid is the more important aspect to consider for that class of teaching positions. The effort/compensation ratio is not incentivizing.

    Slightly uninteresting: while I now pronounce it as 'TUH-pull', I pronounced it as "TWO-pull" in my younger years because of my background in music, where we use the term 'duple', which people usually pronounce

    Both 'TWO-pull' and 'TUH-pull' are acceptable.

    Yeah, I'm not suggesting he's a saint or deserves a parade, but I am happy to have another real-world, full-wrap iOS project to review (whether it's well written or not, I don't know) or repurpose. Edit: My point is: you
