Because most would find it an extreme hindrance to their work. It's really difficult to get something done with such long breaks in between. I'd find it more plausible to have a scheme like southern nations do, siesta in the middl

Similar theory, though using the Red Sea, is used in the book Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus. What do you think of the maybe prevailing theory that Atlantis was actually located on Santorini? Wikipedia has all the links,

This is a very inaccurate comparison for many reasons, but to get the sense of complexity of the human brain: In the human brain, there are almost 100 billion neurons (the project plans to simulate 1000 neurons on one core, hence 1% atm). E

That's a pretty bad definition of a AAA game. I'd say it's a game that is up to the current standard in video gaming, which is rapidly evolving. This means that the graphics aren't archaic, the game content has appropria

This is a more general declarative vs imperative question so if you search for "declarative programming", you should find lots of examples. But here is one, taken from Bret Victor[0]: Consider a classic drawing API: /&

1) React does not make simple apps overly complex. It might feel like more work if you are more used to jQuery. If you are used to React instead, it really won't have a huge negative impact on a small app. 2) React will scale. It will

But I haven't written that input-process-output equals functional. I just pointed out that the React model allows for a larger piece of the code to be functional, in exactly the same way it's done, say, in Haskell. This has nothin

If they are not pure, you are literally making an error (as the framework states they are supposed to be pure). input-process-output is how pure functional languages (such as Haskell) deal with imperative coding. You push the imperative par

This is such a step back, it's a completely wrong approach trying to mimick it in React: <ul> <li ng-repeat="item in items">{{item}}</li> </ul> The equivalent in ES6 (which

Before React: to make a transition, let's change this, this and then that, mutating state on every step. After React: have one pure function, which takes as input the current state and produces the desired output. This is the main shif

This. From my experience at Facebook and Google, FB's open space is way more quiet than cubicles at Google. People in the other cubicle feel like the others don't hear them (they do).

Awesome, UX feedback: 1. Hitting back button should hide the overlay. 2. The left side of the overlay needs to scroll as the screen scrolls, otherwise you're not able to see the picture you hover over in the gallery.

You can of course search open tabs from the address bar. But at least my workflow is to browse through the old tabs and read / close one by one. Also in Firefox the tabs never shrink to just favicon, the tab heads become a scrollable l

There aren't enough positive comments here. Damn this is so cool, technically rendering-wise, UX-wise, a great showcase... I love the video! Really hope the author releases the app, even if it isn't open sourced.
