Recently, thanks to comments on Hacker News, I've learned to think about where money is being made. In this situation, there are companies competing for business in the studio market, where equipment needs to be functional (easy to mov

Looks similar to Lazy.js (to my uneducated eyes) and also rx.js. To the author: Why should I use Highland.js instead of either of these?

Looks easy to follow and the design is clean. It mentions accessibility in the 'What's next?' chapter, though, while I would have hoped this would be covered as part of the material in general. For example, the section on for

This is the problem. In an emergency, you need a trained and experienced pilot who can find a way out. If you replace pilots with computers (well, software), even if you have a pilot sitting there, they will have less experience (because th

I'm tempted to replace developers who can't be bothered to help the rest of the team out by putting in the tiny amount of effort required to keep everyone up to date with what's happening with the current tasks. Really, it&#x

The problem is not to do with the 'power put back' being 'larger', it's to do with efficiency. If charging and discharging a battery were 100% efficient and there were no losses to heat through the rest of the syste

If you google 'ublock', at least for me, the first results should tell you what it is. You can also see that it seems to be owned by gorhill on github. I would like titles to be altered to tell people what the subject is actually

It might be nice to try a setup comprising one of these little NUC things, a monitor (or two) which won't break when travelling (e.g. Lenovo LT1421), a tenkeyless keyboard and proper mouse.
