React is a very nice UI view rendering lib, but that's pretty much all it does. Which isn't a bad thing at all, just something to bare in mind coming from Angular. jsx is incredibly straightforward to read/write, and the actu

Except I don't feel sorry for myself, that's kinda the point! It was a post about coming to terms with yourself, and getting on with life.

Hit 30, realised I had probably done as much in my chosen field as I was likely to. Got sad, considered changing careers and slowly started getting more frantic about seizing my Big Chance. In the process I discovered I'm unspeakably a

Last time I checked I was able to remotely bluescreen mt windows 10 box at home by trying to pair Bluetooth headphones with it. Asus dongle with WHQL drivers. Despite being amusing to drive-by my wife whilst she was watching cat videos on F

But surely that is in itself counter to how css is supposed to work at a very fundamental level? If you want to render different content for different browsers, I'm not convinced that is a function of stylesheets, not should it be. If

Isn't @supports slightly redundant, though? Unless you're avoiding a broken feature, CSS will simple cascade down with the first supported property by default. It's how we've handled browser prefixing, background gradien

Given the recent banwave, and niantic's statements about targeting bots, it feels like a bad time to try automating the game. Besides - convincing me to get out of the office and take a few minutes to walk around outside is the sole re

Fb could make them heuristically indistinguishable from a wall-post, and some motivated individual would have a plugin that scraped your friends and blocked non-friend content up and running within hours.

My biggest programming regret is not keeping hold of the qbasic stuff I cranked out as a nerdy kid. I'm my head it was all so effing great (whole games with graphics drawn with the old pen-down, forwards 10, turn 90deg turtle thing!) b

Hopefully not! Surely _.debounce would be more appropriate to avoid locking out your UI - or worse, returning out of date responses - but even then you would potentially want to handle the responses more robustly. Not to mention needing to

Are there any good open review platforms? Because it sounds like a pretty good idea. Freely distributable attributed reviews under non exclusive licence is way cooler than a db full of yelp scrapings.

Kappa is actually quite an interesting phenomenon - the fluid state of meme-emoticons and the ebb and flow of their popularity in relation to seemingly unconnected events is a nuanced topic in its own right. Nothing to do with huffpost tho.

I had a similar thought. It's genuinely impressive that there is any chance of success whatsoever, but based on my limited understanding of transplant success (and more horrifyingly, organ rejection) rates and the huge complexity invol

Almost very designer I've worked with has eschewed black in favour of one of the lower order grays, not just to make the contrast less jarring but also to ease the browser's own font smoothing a little as it tries to jump from 0 t

At first glance it seemed to imply collaboration is only possible between employees of equal grade, but I guess this applies more to unsolicited advice rather than an open discussion. As long as the person offering their 2 cents is open to

That's been my experience too, taking gyms is considerably easier than successfully holding them for any length of time. That said, you only really need to hold it long enough to claim your coins, and the XP for fighting rival gyms is

You can already do it via player name. The notorious Westboro Baptist Church was being held by an apparently LGBT friendly account called LOVEISLOVE recently, which I thought was quite sweet tbh.

Agreed. Googling 'pokemon go lvl20' shows a bunch of accounts for sale already, if people are buying them the motivation to keep botting will be there.

That is auto-triggered by software detection at a device level isn't it?

I'd assume by looking at the usage patterns - has the device teleported instantly across huge areas, does it display any GPS drift and organic movement rather than a series of static locations, is it moving 24/7, are the reaction

Basically, yes, but as the other guy mentioned it's an ongoing process of fix/break. It seems that the devs are firefighting scalability issues atm, and it would make sense that unsanctioned 3rd party APIs will be targeted Soon™ b

My understanding of cheap off brand batteries (largely 20-30A cells like li-ion 18650s) is that they are generally produced by one of the big manufacturers but were b-grade (and below?) products that didn't quite make the grade but a
