I'm not so sure about that. They change up things a lot. Search is only part of the equation however, people can still buy an add to show you anything they like. So these practices aren't going away, they're just pushed into

We learned from Java and Google that you can't patent and API. It's not forked from React it's an alternative.

We still use Ember and fastboot on a few applications but it's being replaced for the user side of bustle. I believe we did it because we were able to get faster and smaller server side renders and a smaller js payload. I spend more on

This is very similar to the stack we use at BDG Media (bustle.com, romper.com, etc) We use Amazon Lambda, GraphQL, a custom model layer with data loader and redis, and preact. We haven't seen a clear benefit from Relay or Apollo with o

"Alright" works pretty well for me. It probably falls into the same bucket as "OK" however. Tone and context keep it out of the affirmative. "I hear you" gets thrown around a lot but if someone is looking for a

This is great. I hope they're able to stay on top of other things like cpu usage and general bug fixes while they add these new features. On OSX it hovers around 20% cpu while idle.

I think it's an often ignored aspect of client side development. We often leave requests loading when we're not listening for their completion, stack too many requests, have many requests for the same thing, etc. I really like the

They do stop, and while I do agree it's annoying at first, your decisions about what to block and when, are different from my decisions about what to block and when. It's not about "threats" per-say but about privacy, op

This is a beautiful thing. D3 can do a lot but very few programs have replicated what graphviz's dot can do.

Positional audio also opens a world of options for blind people. Microsoft Guide Dogs is working on this very thing. http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/6/7164623/microsoft-3d-sound...

I do, I've been a heavy user of both for 4+ years, but I'm not a security expert of any kind. LastPass has been exploited a few times in ways that could have given up passwords. Their UX and server infrastructure seems to be a mes

Not to throw fuel on the fire but grumbling ex-employees aren't surprised. I've heard a few stories about not investing in infrastructure or even bug fixes. "They wont even look at bug fixes with major support costs." I

It's hard to believe this is javascript. I write that with a lot of love. These are some of my favorite language features but It's going to take some adjustment to be comfortable using and reading them in JS.

Any thought that this might damage our monitors?

You're right. Also they symbols won't be garbage collected if they are currently keys in a hash.

That's a stupid amount of data. I kind of wish I didn't care about all that, but taking a copy of my contacts and location it just rubs me the wrong way. It's not worth it.

It's crazy to me that something as core as less has such bit rot. I'm aware GNU rebuilt a bunch of tools a while ago and added a slew of common features such as `-h` for human readable mode, and `--` long arguments. Does this rewr

I love this, I recently wrote about it too. It allows for a much easier time for new developers coming on to your project, and I think it makes everyone else have an easier time too. http://www.wizard.codes/code-review-clean

That's a reasonable response. I've got another vote for android, but I'll hold onto it and be jealous of my iphone friends. They seem to be enjoying it.

I think this is great, I'm all for extending markdown for specific situations but I think the base h1, li, and p tags should be clearly defined. It appears that most parsers could adopt most of the spec without breaking backwards compa

I do see a cop coming up along side her and grabbing at her and then getting hit in the face. The handprint bruise on her chest paint a clearer picture than this grainy video. But we don't know what happened. I'll also say there&#

I'm fine with this. Happy even. There is more than one way to build our charging infrastructure and we don't yet know how it's going to work best. Tesla's require a lot of power, BMW's doesn't. Our electric gri

It's a way of being humble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_two_cents the user of the phrase hopes to lessen the impact of a possibly contentious statement, showing politeness and humility.

Moving from a request based business logic to data based business logic (processing incoming data, as opposed to processing incoming http requests) is an interesting shift. Does anyone know what this kind of system is called? I'd love

Unless you're in tight loops you wont notice this perf hit. Disk, Network, and DOM manipulation will be the 99% time sinks.
