This is really interesting, and a great approach to testing. I wonder if other JS engines like V8 are using this or something similar?

Yeah, I think the high resale value only applies to previous-generation machines. Basically, for a couple hundred dollars each year (plus the hassle of using eBay) you can upgrade to a brand-new machine.

I own a 2014 XPS 13 and I absolutely love it, but my next machine will be a Macbook. The reason is pretty simple: resale value. Upgrading to the latest and greatest Macbook is absurdly cheap since you can sell your old model for close to th

I have the 2014 XPS developer edition and can get 10 hours with modest screen brightness. I get even more if I use a minimal WM like i3. I find the two things that can really eat up the battery are screen brightness and having a poor Wi-Fi

Sorry, I've just realised how snarky my comment came off as. I guess the point I was trying to make is that a huge portion of Git users don't actually need Git; they would probably get everything they need from a conceptually simp

I understand the sentiment, but Git is hardly meant to be a simple tool that anybody can pick up and use without any prior experience. I don't use Git just to version and share my code -- I'd use Dropbox if that were the case. No,

Really great screencast. If you have the good fortune to be a JS developer in 2015 (and beyond), there are some exciting times ahead!

Most (all?) component manufacturers use lead-free solder these days. Lead alloy solders are harder to come by since they're generally only used by hobbyists who find them easier to work with.

My jaw always hits the floor when I see the salaries they offer in SF/NY. Then I remember that working in the UK I typically get twice as much paid annual leave as most people in the USA, usually with the option to purchase more leave.

As somebody who has only recently started looking into functional programming, this was absolutely fascinating. Even though I'm not very familiar with Haskell, I find this code much more concise and easy to follow compared to the origi

Neither are very elegant, but you could always do something like: var R = require('ramda'); with (R) { var propEq = use(pipe).over(get, eq); } ...Or even: var R = require('ramda');

I've worked on Angular projects of varying sizes -some as large as 30KLOC (products where every page has enough interaction to justify an Angular controller)- and I can never find myself agreeing with these articles. Have I just drunk

I'm having trouble understanding why I would use this over ES6 modules, or even RequireJS/Almond? The README comes across as more of a blog post than technical documentation.

I've been doing the same and so far have seen big performance gains as well. Using HHVM also has the benefit of being able to "tack on" any Hack code in the future if (for example) you have some important code which could ben

I do this a lot in the JavaScript console. If I need DOM interaction, I'll usually just mock-up some HTML and access it via the file:// protocol.

So much this. In my experience it is extremely useful to have a bunch of "Unfinished; WIP" commits that I can look through to figure out what I was thinking yesterday when I started writing code. When I'm ready for other pe

I may be biased, since I've been using (and enjoying) Angular for quite some time now. But I don't agree with any of your points. 1. I can't think of a single case where the Angular documentation has failed me. Yes, it's
