The notion that SPA automatically gives you better user experience is a fallacy. Better UI design gives you better user experience, and good UI design is possible using the classic approach to web development. As an added bonus, you get sea

Same here, to a greater extent. Why? At the highest level, because it's a language that was chosen based on a whim (not merit) and is now being extensively worked on and showed down everyone's throats. I like languages, plural. I

I think your answers to 2-3 are not real answers. You're not giving an explanation that would convince someone who doesn't share your opinion. You're simply saying that you don't care about there concerns with nothing to

You're moving to an entirely different stack simply to make a web app searchable? After you chose to use an architecture (I mean SPA paradigm) that doesn't work with search engines very well? I just don't get it. No, really

Open Source needs to be used first. Do you want to rely on websites implementing something like spell-checking? In your native language? I don't. I want common problems to be solved in the browser and I want to have some reasonable c

The future is decentralized, web included. Decentralized work is a bad thing. Instead of Mozilla/W3C solving some problem for everyone, we get every website coming up with their own clever solutions for nearly everything. (Also, thou

If you arrive at the conclusion that there is no point to any of it, why not end your life on your own terms? Because... If you don't believe there is any point to life, what makes you believe there is any point in death? At least wi

Problem is, there are tons of other diseases that look like stroke. Migranes, epilepsia, etc. IF you have one of those, going to ER every time you have something weird going on will suck you dry of money and your doctor will probably start

Running arbitrary JavaScript on your server will likely cause performance, security and compatibility problems. It's not practical at large scale, and it's not something that would "fix" all the use-cases anyway. Also, v

Very insteresting, but... The backend takes the url, gets the HTML source of the website, minifies it, gets rid of the css, javascript, and images, GZIP compresses it, encodes it in Base64, and sends the data as a series of SMS's. Th

I don't get why Internet can't be funded the same way as Kickstarter campaigns. No ads, but only the people who want to pay actually pay. I run several non-personal websites. I pay for them because the cost is simply not significa

I have a feeling people who think they're using a secure cryptosystem will speak much more freely than those who don't--meaning that the net effect of convincing users to use "bad crypto" is giving the global passive ad

This elitist attitude is why I have no faith in typical "security experts" improving the overall situation with communication security for normal people. Widely adapted open-source "bad crypto" can: - Raise user's

Okay, let me go over the things I don't like about this concept. 1. Everything is hidden by default. No signifies. That looks less confusing... until you want to find something or something changes and you don't even notice until

Is there any point toposting this aside from smug reassertion of the local hivemind's belief in equality of humans an hypothetical thinking machines? Because I don't see any insightful reasoning in this piece aside from simple rev

These articles always seem to imply that you can use those traits for detection. Can you? I mean, the numbers and wording imply that you can, but some of the stats are not very clear or intuitive. For example, just because group X usually d

Therefore owning a library is a cost. Owning a library has a higher value than owning a library of ebooks: social, decorative, nostalgic, works without power, easy share, can resell, etc. It more than evens out. But there is Steam effect

Yeah, but most of those are good ideas for a moderately large business that's not managing other people's servers. Especially mnemonic names. Would you rather reference ruby.web or W1L1Z (which is often the kind of cap that people

If you teach Verilog without explaining why it has loops and what they do (and don't do), you don't teach it correctly. Behavioral descriptions are very, very similar to programming, and a lot of programming concepts and skills

Any password rules decrease the overall possibility space. The point is that they try to move your password away from the high-probability areas of that space that hackers try first. It's like kicking someone out of apartment. Yes, you

This article speaks about one of the many, many reasons I don't like Robert Martin's approach to programming. If some principle results in a handful of single-method classes that don't really do anything on their own, the pri

I don't really see DHH giving any arguments as to why designing for tests leads to poor design decisions. It results in pointless levels of abstraction that aren't used to abstract anything in real code, but destroy readability

ASP.Net Identity 2 is just that, easy and extensible membership. I don't know about easy, but it definitely doesn't look simple, judging by examples. http://blog.iteedee.com/2014/03/asp-net-identity-2-0

I am still appalled by the fact that Play Store doesn't allow users to search for apps based on requested permissions or size. It's extremely ironic, considering Google's core business.
