There's a great episode of This American Life from 2008 with a behind-the-scenes look at how the staff comes up with headlines: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/348/tough-room It sounds like an amazing place to wo

If you’re reading something which suggests you use CoffeeScript, it’s probably terribly outdated.

Of course it wouldn’t. Greenwald is effectively a Kremlin puppet and he’ll never admit he was conned.

Sorry if the short response seemed rude. No is the answer to both of your questions. RN isn’t just “HTML in a webview” like PhoneGap or Cordova: elements are actually rendered as native UI components. E.g., a <Text> element becomes a

Great news. I bought a MBP last February and already had the keyboard replaced. I was worried about it happening again now that it’s out of warranty. Apart from this (apparently widespread) fault, it’s my favorite keyboard. I just wish I’d

This is a really great idea, but I wouldn’t have really got from the app listing and screenshots that this is what the app does. Your comment here explains it much better than the App Store description IMO. Maybe some help from a UI designe

>Wasn't the original case here something along the lines of refusing to bake a cake with homosexual imagery on it, not necessarily because the customers were a homosexual couple? No. They had not discussed the content of the cake wh

They had not even discussed the content of the cake when they were refused service.

I can’t believe there are comments here supporting the “baker’s right” to refuse service on these grounds. >The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that Mr. Phillips’s free speech rights had not been violated, noting that the couple had not

Sorry but it’s true.

Yeah it’s incredibly irresponsible and not really funny at all.

We can always fork these things if it comes down to it.

You’re right but you should have included decent sources in your initial comment. Sadly the vegan crowd overlaps too much with the pseudoscientific new age/alt med/antivaxxers crowd, so skeptical types are quick to dismiss any sug

ReasonML has JSX. It just translates to function calls which do whatever you want. It’ll probably never happen but it’d be cool to see native JSX in JS.

This is exactly how I've felt for the past few years. Besides Facebook, I think a large part of it is not being quite as young and open to new things. E.g. I'm under 30 but I never got into Youtube, I don't even know how to f

That’s the whole point of HTTP request methods: it isn’t. GET should never cause such side effects. The entire web is built with these principles in mind precisely so that problems like this don’t happen. If you want a slower browsing exper

Wow I was thinking of this exact idea just yesterday. Could you share the code or make this a web app? I don’t have access to Android.

It was inevitable. If not for the CA scandal it would have been something else. Regulations like GDPR aren’t a reaction to Trump.
