Being browser-based, you wouldn't be waiting to download 100MB+ if it's correctly designed You'd download a 1-2mb core script bundle that then dynamically lazy-loads resources as required. For example, if Hearthstone were con

The saying "Fake it 'till you make it" really comes to mind here. The kid is hoping he can lie and scheme his way to success. Sorry bud but that doesn't work with startups, maybe if you were already an executive at a mul

There also seems to have been a large portion of the Australian radical-nationalist demographic (typically white supremacy groups akin to Reclaim Australia etc) campaigned for voting "no" under some bizarre narrative that legalisa

The project itself is a great concept but pushing people into RoR and jQuery? Really? Come on, it's 2017. Ruby is hardly a marketable skill, there are very few agencies still utilising it on new projects. I'd also be shocked to se

We've used Torus a fair bit in my team at work, however we're now using Docker's native secrets solution for our container runtimes as it avoids the knowledge and build-time overhead of an extra dependency. I personally found

Interesting that they supposedly "abandoned" the Unix philosophy, when as far as I'm aware, they never followed it. Seems this article's title is simply clickbait. GitLab is not just a program, it is both a collection of

Use Docker. When you build a docker image, you copy all your runtime dependencies (`node_modules/`) and build artifacts into the image. When you push a deployment you are deploying that static image with the dependencies baked in, inst

Why would anyone expect a unicorn focusing on growth to make a profit? Once investments dry up you'll see Uber start to focus on profitability and reducing waste, until then they're 100% focused on expansion and disruption, which

"Just to put that growth rate in perspective: this is 70 times the number of sites that switch to Node.js, another fast-growing web server." I find it hard to believe this could be accurate considering the vast majority of Node.js

Personally I've done work like this for agencies who focused on design and front-end that needed some complicated back-end functionality implemented for a client and didn't want to hire their own person internally to handle it.

I also know Python, Go and Rust, but I only use them for tinkering and experiments. I'd still use JS+CSS+HTML via Electron for a GUI app over traditional systems languages any day of the week.

If you just jumped up some major versions it's likely that you've upgraded to a version with breaking API changes. I'd suggest reading the changelogs between your old and new versions. Assuming you're using the prebuilt

There's plenty of cross-platform UI kits for a wide range of languages. The thing that's big about Electron is it allows web developers to use their existing skills to create desktop apps. A lot of web developers would like to mak

I can't speak for Windows but on both OSX and Linux, upgrading Electron versions is as simple as upgrading the version number of the `electron-prebuilt` dependency of your project and running `npm update`. You can also use the `npm-che

The thing is, nobody is forcing you to use excessively small modules. If you use an excessive amount of small modules, that's an error of the developer, not an inherent flaw in the platform/ecosystem.

All the points in the first (Uriel) rant are attacking JavaScript itself, and most if not all those points are remedied by using ES2015 and FRP. All the points in the second (Ryan) rant are attacking bloated/poorly-scoped software and

They didn't ban Unity. The legacy NPAPI extension format (which the Unity web player plugin was built on) was deprecated in favour of PPAPI. NPAPI was outdated, unperformant and insecure, the goal of PPAPI was to address those issues.
