Atom uses CoffeeScript, but Nuclide[0], Facebook's suite of packages for Atom, uses ES6/7 (including async/await) via Babel. The transpilation and caching of transpiled sources is done in the nuclide-node-transpiler[1] packag

Good point, "deferred tax" is more appropriate there. "No tax" is misleading. You might be able to stay out of AMT by splitting ISO exercises across multiple tax years, but that's splitting hairs. You make a good po

The only downside there is the 2-year requirement between grant date and sale of stock, but that is unlikely if the company is still granting ISOs rather than RSUs. The second clause of that sentence is standard long term capital gains, whi

Yup I've heard some of those stories. A 7-year exercise period certainly gives employees more options.

> Exercise and sale can occur in one fell swoop. You lose the reduced taxes of long term capital gains if you wait, for whatever reason, to exercise and sell the same day. You have to hold the shares for 1 year + 1 day from the day you e

What restrictions do you mean? ISOs are better for the employee because any gain on exercise is not taxed as regular income. If the value is high enough the employee might be subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT), but the possibility of

Elon Musk has said from the beginning of SpaceX that trips to Mars would have to return as well. It's not because of the humans but because the cost of producing the space ships will be so large that it's not feasible to shoot the

Nicely done! Binding every HN story as an object would have been the simplest approach, that makes sense. Is the source available somewhere?

The Firebase JavaScript library makes make this impressively straightforward to use. I built a clone using React.js and Firebase's library. Because v0 of the API requires a request for each news story, it's not possible to use Fir

Our UI for Marathon[1], a framework on top of Apache Mesos, is written in React and uses Backbone models. It uses Require JS for modules and compiling the source into a single file for distribution. The JS root is in the assets directory[2]

If you serve a rendered page of HTML with CSS links, browsers can progressively render the page as it is downloaded. Users will notice that on the first page load, particularly on higher latency connections where round trips for resources l

The lifting can be heavy for mobile devices with slow CPUs and limited battery life unlike the servers running your site. Also if your server renders the site and some of the pages are public, the server can cache the HTML and let the web s

I don't do this for when JS is disabled; I do this because networks are unreliable, especially cellular ones. JS on websites is growing in number of files and in number of bytes. If your JS is at the bottom of the page and has to downl

Yes. Comments on the original TechCrunch article were equally vindicating even though that article offered no actual evidence. It's unfortunate TechCrunch and Valley Wag posted the story without first corroborating at least some piece

Requiring JavaScript to view icons seems like a major downside compared to competitors that are plain font files like Font Awesome. Now the client has to download and execute the JS before seeing what might be important UI cues.

Saying "do everything properly" is an opinion too. Why is semantic markup more "proper" than Bootstrap's <div> and class names? The idea that semantic markup is a beautiful paradise is unsubstantiated. If you

I still have to do a mental mapping between this and what will ultimately be generated: HTML. Since JSX is XHTML, the mapping is minimal. This also moves in the direction of web components, which is getting a lot of attention from the Chrom

The big difference is that Handlebars always produces strings that your browser has to parse as HTML. Handlebars also doesn't know how to mutate between states, meaning if you add a class 10 levels deep in the template the best you can
