It's a good (open discussion, latest topics and trends, expanding the palette with exposure of ideas) and bad thing (secret/slower paced work environments, unexposed devs, rockstars that don't need it, etc).

Sadly I know this situation too well and my industry is moving blazing fast (web dev).

I think this is the result of other places getting better rather than the U.S. getting worse. Globalization has made opportunity obtainable almost wherever you need it these days.

Waiting for more ES6 support! I am spoiled by 6to5.

If you get the Samsung screen replacement, you won't get any image retention. Although there is a trade off, the Samsung screens have more yellow whites and the contrast is less (I remember black being as black as the bevel with the LG

I like this part if the thread. I always like to push he boundaries of myself, redefine what I can be, expand on what I am capable of, but procrastination is tough to deal with.

Yes but it's in Chrome Stable right now, I'm sure that when ES6 is implemented by vendors next year, they might throw in a few ES7 bits.

React's V and Angular's V aren't entirely compatible, in fact it's be nasty to use them together. Sure it's not a full alternative, but I believe when people are saying React, they are inferring that they will be us

Ah corrected, thanks!

While terribly written and in poor format, it has some semblance to ES6.

11% of the global market. Remember that. It is around 40%-50% of the developed world. Japan is the #1 iPhone nation at around 55% share, the US alone I remember reading its around 52% of smartphones are iPhones. Also 50% of iPhones out ther

Too many unknowns is way too broad of a reason when it comes to JS. JS is already the language of unknowns. It really depends on the framework, timing of things, people behind it. Angular is by Google, but also Google is pushing Web Compone

I don't think this is a flame war at all, I think people are pissed at all these breaking changes. I've seen them coming from miles away, I'm still a little distant from Angular until it's API modernizes and matures. I t

Ever since reading Angular 2's goals, I put 2 and 2 together, the API was definitely going to have to change massively to accommodate ES6. I'm sure they're using Object.observe it just wasn't mentioned in the presentatio

Data binding, directives, MVC front end + the adoption of Node is what made it popular IMHO.

The thing with React is that either Facebook's engineers are incredibly prescient or lucky. React very is really well designed and feels natural with ES6. It's so incredibly designed, even without the ES6 optimizations of 0.12.0 (

I see Angular 2 as more of going native, conforming with the Web Components API as well as adopting modern ES6 (since it's being finalized this year and being implemented almost everywhere). I like that they've modernized their AP

So is the consensus here that we care about privacy and treat every threat seriously or when it comes to anything involving China or our favorite company we make excuses and ignore any alarm bells? Privacy should be a serious concern for ev

So many people here fail to recognize that this app essentially reproduced some functionality and elements (quick launch contacts from multitasked, springboard replicated) in the OS that could be confusing for users. This article is another

It's extremely disjointed, there are too many ways to do things and they aren't very intuitive, like previewing notifications, revealing the context menu from swiping down, the quick settings swipe with two fingers, accidentally s

Well for one you can type in nearly any language on a software keyboard. Lately I've been using my French and Spanish keyboards to talk to friends and family, I like the predictive features. I don't think current smartphone vendor

I know my opinion isn't in line with the positive feedback loop culture on HN, but this phone looks like a joke! I feel like hardware keyboards on mobile devices are archaic and overhyped. I know it's Blackberry's key thing,

If IE gets rebranded, I hope they change their dev strategy or at least open source Trident. I can't stand waiting around for Microsoft to implement/fix something. If Microsoft could open up its engine, IE would become the most pr

by zghst 12y ago
Is there a reason any other devs want it to be relevant?? On the consumer side, IE is great(ish) with low power usage, good font rendering, tie-in with other MS services, native features, etc. For developers, um no, I can attest to absolute

Pointer events aren't too big of a deal, they are simple polyfills for them. Collaboration between the vendors today has never been better. Just look at IE, it went from being a last place browser to being a second class browser (first

by zghst 12y ago
Seeing that Google doesn't want to add anything to its browser that is not essential and will not penalize performance, this was obviously not going to make the cut. Pointer events would be nice, but using a polyfill isn't so bad.

That is actual an understatement, information has and always will be powerful. Do you wonder why the US, China and Russia invest so much in spying on each other and everyone else?

Yeah no thanks. I wouldn't want them building over historical artifacts or putting up apartments that will fall apart in 10 years.
