Yeah, it's easily abused and trivial errors of judgement create non-trivial problems later down the line. IMO part of the problem is that nested LESS/SASS looks just enough like JSON to mislead inexperienced devs, who often try

custom props beginning with 2 dashes is slightly annoying given the BEM syntax has already grabbed that as Modifier... .foo { &--bar { --bar: 0; } } It's a pretty contrived example, but akward to comprehend a

Full disclosure: I basically write JavaScript for a living. I quite like it, and the above comment was supposed to be humerous rather than an attack on thin-skinned js aficionados as the downvotes would suggest.

If it did, I like to think it'd feature 100 pages of setting up and debugging your module loader, preprocessors, dependency resolution, mvc framework, polyfills, unit tests and build scripts. ;)

Computer Battlegames was my first introduction to programming after finding a dog-eared copy in the local library in the late 80s. I spent many happy minutes carefully retyping all the code into quickbasic and then spending endless hours tr

Aww c'mon man look at the URL - it's not that hard to figure out! ;P It's linked from the blog of a former principal designer @faaborg - now working on Google's VR stuff. There is a 2009 article where he talks about the

This is a pretty cool idea. One thing bothered me slightly - It describes bugs as "a mistake in the code" but I suspect a more accurate description would be an "unintended outcome of a piece of code" or something to that

Yeah I saw that, I was more curious as to whether they had said anything about using a pre-existing compiler, or if they had built their own.

Huh, they've pulled es6 compilation in, away from babel? It's early in the morning here so my pre-coffee brain might be terrible, but did they say which compilation engine they were using for es6?

The UK model is the most painful plug to stand on, due to it's propensity to lie 'prongs up' and the particular arrangement of said prongs. This is a deliberate and oft misunderstood feature of this plug. In the event of an i

In practice 10 support is patchy, but can usually be fixed using the wonky old syntax and minimal hacking. For general use 11/Edge are fine. In fact, a usable desktop view for IE9 is relatively easy to frig with %widths and a handful o

Sadly the site is dead, but the gist of it was that modern produce production demands have increased yield and reduced cost dramatically, at the cost of flavour and nutrition - the anecdotal example being watery flavourless tomatoes. Or &#x

This may already be a thing, but rather than focusing on organic-ness or price, I wonder if there is a market for vegetables developing and deliberately focusing their promotion on enhanced nutritional content?

Can't blame the tools for a lack of decent developers any more than you can blame a spell checker for illiteracy.

Yes and no. Homerolled solutions such as this are free of another developers assumptions, but tend to scale poorly. Generally they need to be modified as new requirements are created, or unforeseen circumstances arise. Over time you end up

I suspect most {Product.Name} customers end up paying for {Product.Name}'s advertising by purchasing {Product.Name}? Isn't that kinda the point! ;)

At some point in history Newton had just made up gravity, and Einstein made up the concept of awful metaphors about driving away from clocks really, really fast. The Schumpeter curve warrants some serious investigation.

To be fair to him, he did specifically mention isomorphic, in which case the js is running on both sides and the idea is that initial load delivers server-generated markup, giving the user content immediately then doing all the databinding

Interesting, the article mentions it failing clinical human trials but not why, presumably there was no significant health aspect if it's available as a supplement. Perhaps this will finally help me kick my 10-page-a-day HN habit?

More importantly, when is the Flux Influenced, Stateful Template Enterprise React methodology gonna get a catchy acronymn? Asterisk-ux isn't cutting it, and god knows we need a buzzword.
