I've just finished my first major redux project and found it incredibly slow to develop with. Write an action type constant/action creator/dispatch/reducer/mapStateToProps just to show an element in response to a mo

If you misuse jQuery, it doesn't reflect badly on jQuery as a technology, it reflects upon the developer. jQuery is an outstanding library. If you stay away from technologies because there are developers out there misusing it, I doubt

It's becoming common for Twitter to used for updates and coordination in disaster zones. And I guess if I wanted to let my friends know I was safe in such a situation, and didn't want to text them all, Facebook would be a good cho

Great work, this exactly what I've been looking for. I'd resigned myself to writing it from scratch - so I really appreciate your efforts on this. Will try it out right now.

Conversely, I'm tightly tied to having a home and people I know - so I don't particularly enjoy travelling but love living elsewhere. That way I can get to know the culture and people more deeply, but have my own space and home.

I've been in one of these before briefly, and I'll agree it immediately affects your balance - in a way that wearing headphones doesn't. Not sure why, perhaps the brain only uses these cues below a certain threshold of sound.

Or, you know, people who aren't trained in science but are interested in it when it's presented in a language they can understand. Also, hard science isn't all that comes out of TED (see the "E" and "D" in

I like the idea of retaining preprocessors for nesting and mixins to write good CSS quickly, but also having the postprocessor at the other end to add polyfills where necessary. This way, I can write SASS to target modern browsers and not w

This was brought up in a big way in the recent firestorm around Mongo, but the lack of joins precludes it from any use as a relational database (which is fine, since it's not intended as one). However, I've never been able to use

Prepending the fallback style was the option I was considering, but it does really defeat the whole purpose of the idea. You'd end up with the same styles that you would have without variables, plus all the duplicate rules using variab

I just can't see what the path to adoption of this looks like. How do you achieve backward compatibility? You put a box-shadow on your elements today and while it won't look quite as shiny in browsers that don't support it, i

I recently used a temporary travel card at Blazing Saddles, and that wasn't imprintable but they didn't make any note of it. They may have changed their policies.

Love your project - were you experienced as an illustrator when you decided to do this? What was the purpose behind it?

I realize you only just threw this together, but this only detects the CSS display attribute. The visibility and opacity rules are also easily detected, and a large negative left/margin value could be detected with a small amount of co

This is a common model, and in my experience there's a couple of common reasons: - Taxation laws haven't quite caught up to social enterprise. Social enterprises are set up this way to enable the charitable entity to be tax-exempt

If this is the case, a good optimisation might be to weight the value of a vote according to the karma of the person casting that vote. This seems like a simple idea to me, and I don't know if it's used elsewhere, so please forgiv

I want to believe that I'm misinterpreting your comment about "deserved to be forked", but in the context of this discussion it sounds like a truly crude, offensive and sexist thing to say. I am disgusted. There is no place for a comment wi

Thanks for the kick in the pants, arturspek. I'll be making the effort to put the phone away more - tech has deteriorated my relationships enough already (or at least my increasing addiction to it has).

There's a lot of comments here about how Glass will affect social interactions, which is fair enough as that's the easiest use case to grasp at the moment, but the thing that struck me most was the tiny snippet of footage of that jeweler (

I love seeing two teams working together on a project like this instead of competing against one another. The web's going to be a better place as a result of this kind of collaboration.

I think this is the closest thing I've seen to valid use of the marquee tag.
