Lets not kid ourselves about Web apps. We get control, but working with JS, limited APIs as well as rewriting everything that an OS would provide in God knows what ever framework of the day is horrific. As someone who splits time between .N

React is so much different from other frameworks, I feel. Someone that doesn't know React can basically come in and start working on a large app from Day 1. It is so much less frustrating than Angular, Backbone + Ember + handlebars, et

One editor barely using React doesn't mean it's going to swing back the other way now. React actually has good ideas and breathes fresh air into the JS community. Let's not forget how kick ass React is y'all.

Each people has a different identity, heritage, customs, etc; and it's the right of those people to protect their identity, enforce a code that they see fit, etc. This kind of thinking is what has Africa and Eastern Europe all fucked u

I'm sure it would help if these tests used the minified version of React on the server. Also this test could be more efficiently written. First (in SearchResults.jsx), setState accepts a callback in its second parameter, you don't

Apple is damn right for ignoring the web, JS is an extremely immature language (I say that working with it everyday, even with ES6 and experimental ES7 features). Developing a real app with JS, where you have rewrite everything that's

Webkit keeps prefixes usually because it is not implemented fully and it is an experimental feature. They began unprefixing flexbox in Sept. 2014, I don't know when it's gonna ship. Though, its super unfair that the Web Inspector

We always see these performance benchmarks, which are great but are low on the totem pole for technology choice. Really good questions to ask and statements to reassert: * Does is scale well? * Will this framework / library help me in

Instead of wholly claiming Swift is slow (with your limited expertise in the language, as well as running no optimizations), why don't you reach out to see what you can do to improve performance? Sid you reach out to anyone to see what

Radical transparency would be good, so long as it's not exposed to everyone in the world. We often forget the multitude of wickedness in the world, and while the US government smells, there are actors on the outside that wouldn't

I think Westerners underestimate value in IP, it is extremely important and China is beginning to realize that they need to enforce protections. They have already begun to open up courts for IP. We're all over-hyping China these days,

I find it alarming, this thread already mimicking a USSR disinformation campaign. See below "Israeli shills". As usual, the HN crowd (or state propagandists) turn to whataboutism and pointing fingers than discussing the topic on h

> Testing worse, through DOM If you're writing proper tests for React, you don't test directly through the DOM. Using Jest you can mock the DOM to test parts of your component. In my view, a component should not contain everyth

ES5shim pretty much takes care of that.

18 months - 2 years would be an appropriate time to use ES6 features safely without a transpiler (however we will still be using transpilers in the future for ES7 and ES8). But you can use them today using a transpiler like 6to5 or Traceur.

We don't have to wait to use these features, we can use them today with Traceur, 6to5, ES6ify, etc.

This makes no sense. The root of the problem didn't start at the voting booth, "Oh I'll check yes to torture those terrorist", or "I'm going to write my Congressmen telling them to torture some folks". In

The average American reads "torture" and moves on. America is no longer a society whose government is afraid of it, instead we prefer to be 'managed' for the sake of convenience.

I don't think torture has to be justified to those looking to employ it. It is the most brutal method to rock someone's core, to break them as a person. Because of the current technological progress, we cannot just hack into someo

You think the US is alone in torture? This is child's play compared to what happens in China or Russia. You are mistaken if the US is the only one.

This response is asinine. What do you say to the organizations that massacre entire villages and towns in their own county, make regular suicide and car bombs to blow up crowded and high traffic places (in M.E., Russia, China), dismember th

I disagree about violence. The animal kingdom is inherently violent. Is it socially inappropriate to use violence in most parts of Western civilization? Yes. But in other places around the world (and in some cultures and groups in the West)

The Chinese people are not our enemy. China has had a large mindshare in Western culture for centuries and now their government is getting strong enough to project power that challenges the West. Overall the Chinese seem very level headed a
