It's much better to do this earlier. If you're asking v8 to optimise, say, the whole of React on a mobile device before first paint, that's definitely going to be slower than having the same optimisations done before V8 needs

Reducing this initial work would really help startup time - especially on mobile. Consider that v8 etc are really fast only after the JIT kicks in after seeing repeated work: for time-to-first-significant-paint that's too late.

Agreed - I think simply highlighting the data:... part of the URL with a vaguely scary colour would help.

I reported this a back in March 2016, and Google said it was not an issue. Analysed whole attack here: https://gist.github.com/timruffles/5c76d2b61c88188e77f6 This was the response I got: > The address bar remains o

If you still haven't given TypeScript a go as a Javascripter, now is a great time to do so. Whether you end up adopting it or not, it's interesting to get the types out of your mind and into the code. The first time you feel the s

There's so much wrong with the above. To pick a quick one: "query language which was designed to run on both single-machines and distributed infrastructure". Mongo has no fewer than THREE query syntaxes: standard, map-reduce[

Really glad you're thinking about this, and making it explicit, buuuuut... Why not dual-license, or look at the Fair Source license? The "donate please" button is just going to be ignored, like Sublime's donate nag scree

Yes, mention the cool coding project! We're mostly average[1], most companies/jobs are average, and most employers should and do value our average accomplishments[2]! If you enthusiastically and knowledgeably describe a cool codin

Brilliant news! It'd be fun to arrange pairing with boot camp attendees in London.

Just to say, D3 is entirely the 're-rendery "DOM as a pure function of state"' approach. `el.__data__` is just optimisation (if you're only using d3). You should be able to `setInterval(yourD3Code, 16)` if you'

by timruffles 11y ago
Wha? Yes, D3 is definitely not a charting library - because it's a data-focused, thin wrapper over the DOM & SVG APIs. It's designed from the group up to "let you do something slightly different": that's the poi

Still the best game I've played - nothing matches the feeling of consequence your actions had. I had a similar 'read about it and waited years to play' experience :) Started playing on Europa in the T2A time I think.

That's a sign someone has fundamentally misunderstood Angular and is hacking around their misunderstanding.

Great! This, plus the lack of libraries, put me off. Will take a new look!

I think I linked to the most balanced bit of that article :) "We've seen many projects use this style in the last few years, and results so far have been positive, so much so that for many of our colleagues this is becoming the de

Does this feel like backtracking to anyone else? Compare to Fowler's previous discussions [1]. Maybe it's just hard to write about a new, interesting thing without most people getting the impression you think it's the way (

Seriously? "modifies it without giving you the changes back, what has that deprived you of?" Uh... it's depriving you of the changes ? e.g the kind of changes a big, rich company can afford to pay people to do to free softwa

Automation/systemisation is how productivity & profitability grows. Everyone should be clear on this - and be ready to retrain, ideally before time!

So Google will be shutting down search then? Or perhaps: maybe some tasks like finding things are by definition 'pull', and others are better suited to 'push'? The only information in this article: the author doesn'

Great to see PG trying counter Steve Jobs inspired asshole-dolatry. Certainly I think it accords with my experience: I've stuck around in jobs because of the people when better ones were available. Conversely, meanness in founders crea
