I agree with your overall point, but bringing up satellite connections is a bit silly - you shouldn't be optimising for edge cases.

Could you give an example about how wrapped apps are somehow lesser than native?

The scrolljacking on that page is painful. Maybe it's just the massive images they're loading that's causing the chug on my machine (Macbook Pro), but it's really off-putting.

Django if I need users/auth stuff, otherwise Express on the backend. On the frontend I use React and Redux, usually with a boilerplate like https://github.com/davezuko/react-redux-starter-kit

At the cost of poor performance on the client [1], so you're just pushing any time saved in development onto your user. The only way around the poor performance of table layouts is to use table-layout: fixed, which then means you lose

But one-star reviews just because the app asked for a review doesn't hurt the usefulness of reviews?

So it's hearsay then?

But this was fixed with strict mode; this is like criticising Java for not having generics, even though generics were added ages ago. You can still assign/use global variables in the browser, but like the parent says, this is the brows

Oh, give it a rest with this shit. Literally every thread where Javascript is mentioned, even in passing like this one, someone feels the need to pop up with the 'Javascript is terrible' meme. I get it, lots of people don't l

Well ok, let's just pretend everything's fine and carry on exactly as we are.

I know it's largely hypothetical, but by not using data-, aren't you running the risk of namespace collisions in future? data- attributes are guaranteed not to ever have an 'official' version that the browser expects, wh

Why mention race at all? Why is it important that it was an Arab teenager if race is irrelevant?

So in summary, you're voting for an extremist far-right party because: 1. You don't have a girlfriend 2. You blame an entire race for your cousin being raped 3. Women were promoted 4. You feel society owes you thanks and praise. B

Frontend developer here. Everytime I need to create some sort of rich API I discovered that the last framework I learnt was "no longer valid". Happened with CakePHP, Webforms and now ASP.Net 2. My feeling is that backend developme

Why did you choose to use a custom attribute rather than a `data-` one?

I get around 3.5k visitors a month; most of my articles are code snippets or brief tutorials to do with code. I make around £2 a month from ads on these articles, so it's not exactly lucrative :)

Are you complaining that things get updated? You don't have to use the absolute latest versions of everything, you can still use older versions if you want.

by whostolemyhat 10y ago
That's what a major version is supposed to signify though, isn't it? Most JS/NPM-based projects use semantic versioning, so a major version update means breaking/backwards-incompatible.

I think it's due to the new version of Javascript being released recently after years of stagnation. ES4 was abandoned and ES5 was mainly standardising existing practices, while ES6 has added a lot more - new syntax, new types, iterato

Yeah I was wondering about this too - will the 3DS be carried on and essentially be the low-powered option?

Less than 18 months is about the length of time to work somewhere, get a crap raise after an annual review, have a look around and realise you could be better-paid for the same work somewhere else. Why would you stay at a company where you&

You can remove permissions you've given to an app as well, under Settings > Apps > [App] > Permissions. I think it will cause the app to ask you for permission again when it starts, but it's good to know it's not a o

I'd definitely recommend running React/ES6 stack in a VM - I'm using a Windows machine at my current contract, and everything is so much slower when running natively compared with in a VM. Things like starting up PhantomJS to

I paid for it. It's incredibly useful and I use it every day, and since I expect to get paid for apps I release, why would someone else's work be different?
