That's so true, and as more and more ads go HTML you will see crappy devs animating the dom resulting in poor performance on iOS devices and damaging battery life. So the cycle continues.

Yes that was my point, I was refering to mainly creative aspect.

The thing to remember is that everyone has these advantages, so really they aren't advantages. All they have done is raise the standards, you can't just knock out something of the W3D standard and make millions, these days people

Just saw this answer to another question about the technology: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6558539 I guess you could ask him for more details.

It's great to see an example that actually produces a full running app. There are lots of little things involved in making an app that get missed if you just talk about directives and scope. Will be interesting to see how easy it is to

I think you should assume that people may have a conceptual knowledge but not a working knowledge. If they had a working knowledge then your tutorial would be obsolete IMO. Other than that confusion I found it enjoyable. FYI some of your ex

scope: { toggle: '=' } That's a joke, with minification these days what's the point in being so concise and confusing. Bad from an API design point of view and bad that the tutorial felt it didn't need

Nice to see a company deal with a security flaw with such grace. It also shows that there isn't a blame culture inside the team, otherwise people would be looking to cover up this kind of report.

Perhaps that level of polished is part of what comprises "fully functioning".

One soultion would be to have a tax on empty properties, and tax rental income in bands simular to tax duty. This would then make property a worse investment, and increase the supply for people buying. Obviously you would want this to come

I expect they have a quota, a friend at work got them installed and they don't meet that criteria. He said they got 10 year ones, that cost about £15 a pop.

Yeah not sure what's holding them up a thermostat in the UK is much simpler as normally it's just heating you turn on or off.

I just found out that in the UK you can get the fire department to come and install free alarms http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/smokealarms.asp Lets home they have the budget to stretch to these :p

So in theory during a fire they should heat up and start working again! Phew...

by robmcm 13y ago
Looks great, although I did pick up a basic one for about £2 the other day. However I would love to get one, along with the thermostat, should they ever come to the UK.

I expect it's designed for people who don't think about the future, yet I imagine people like us will end up getting it and just get dipressed every time we have fun rather than preparing out legacy.

I have been using an iPhone app called Ambiance for a long time, it even allows you to record your own sounds, works in the background, has a sleep and alarm modes etc. The only down side is it tries to do too much, they have like a sound s

I cut caffeine out of my diet, (apart from chocolate) which has more or less cured my issues with sleeping. I think I could start drinking it again, but only pre mid day. It is very hard to do (headaches, sleepy in the day etc), but worth a

It doesn't say she understands it, could just be a copy paste from a tutorial right?

It will be really interesting to see how Jennifer manages the transition from learning to working in the industry. Hopefully she will update us on that part of the journey. Good luck!

So implemented DRM will still need to be supported on different platforms and browsers, and after the H264 crap what are the chances of that happening? They would be better off having some sort of plugin archetecture that allows this kind o

I expect there will be a new lib to replace that, I guess this would bridge the gap for those who don't update. I doubt ming would target this runtime though, would be very inefficient.

If it appeases the rights holders into allowing their video on the web I'm happy. Users want to watch videos, they don't care about the technology under the hood. Do you ever try and watch youtube videos that say, "this video
