Who knows, they might move toward a mega-app. Consider for a moment, though, that currently we're talking about Facebook Messenger, which is a huge, and fairly recent example of the exact opposite thing happening (it was part of Facebo

Regardless of beliefs on the Right to be Forgotten, this feels wrong. The way that I had previously interpreted it, a person or entity could ask to have all references to them removed. The request in this article isn't that, though - i

A lot of people seem to complain about this. Personally, as a user, I'm pretty okay with Facebook not showing every post from every page that I like in my news feed. If I really want to see every post from a page, I have options that a

Yeah, totally. I had not previously read about flattr, but it appears to be exactly what I proposed! That's excellent, and I think that I'll read more about it, and likely sign up. I certainly hope that it doesn't also live u

Reddit Gold is definitely a wonderful solution. However, I was replying to a comment about a "donate" button on the browser, and trying to keep within the problem that it is trying to solve, which is (at least as far as I can tell

That might be tricky because you'd have to determine how much "one tip" (/click,submit) is. Even if a small amount was decided upon, I wonder if there would be too much added stress along the lines of "is reading th

I agree with all of those sentiments. At the same time, I prefer the idea of presenting previous open source work instead of having a group of potential employers agree on a project that they can all judge. One benefit is that the work is l

As others have mentioned, the trade-offs can be pretty complicated. Perhaps the take-home is always better for you, I won't try to argue against your personal preferences, I'm simply going to list a few reasons why it turns out wo

Canadian postal codes are both letters+numbers as well (formatted AxByCz, where A,B,C are letters, x,y,z are numbers), so UK seems like it would be safe. Too many or few characters, like you point out as the case for Taiwan, would be the pr

It may be worth noting that the Nexus 5 came out more than two years after the iPhone 4S (Oct 31, 2013 vs Oct 14, 2011), and as of now it hasn't even been 2 years since the Nexus 5 was released. That said, it has been less than 4 years

Agreed. One example would be that using named variables, particularly set with "default" values, makes white-labelling applications much simpler.

Not that I agree with the sentiment of the article (defaulting with || is usually okay!), but hopefully people reading these pieces, and worrying about such things, are already using strict mode.

One of the reasons that it's a big deal is because of what it means for functions. It helps make named-parameters more attractive, which can help a lot with code maintainability. Example code: https://developer.mozilla.org&#

It's actually a bit better than that. You're suggesting a simple view where you look at the average amount people who subscribe to this (e.g. $10/month) service would have otherwise paid, and that if that number is less than

It doesn't feel, to me at least, as much that aesthetic standards have changed in general as much as that they've changed on computers. I'm not certain why, but I'd guess it has to do with various things ranging from scr

Your parent likely knows what it means; the message is no longer clear but the post it was in reply to originally said "random note". Your parent was simply a suggested correction, which didn't hold up after the correction wa

That article actually confirms the 33B "liquid cash" quoted in your parent. The other ~160B is "long-term investments".

It's not a particularly great wrapper (I've had to handle a couple minor issues in a further wrapper directive), but for the two-pickers situation where you want a range, I've recently used https://github.com/

I also don't think a promise makes much sense, if we're talking about the same sort of widget. For a "selector", where the whole purpose is selecting a thing, I think that even better than that would be to use ng-model (
