That works in a single person household. But once an extra person wants to use it then each person has to do the dance of re-pairing every morning - which can be painful if the other person's device was the last one that connected and

It's really not though. If you look at the official yearly releases, you'll find that there have only been a few major changes since ES5 (aka ES2009): Async/await, modules (import/export), arrow functions and destructuri

If you want to get double taxed, sure you can keep your Australian Medicare and private health insurance. As far as the ATO is concerned, unless you discontinue both, you're considered an Australian resident for tax purposes. Even thou

I agree wholeheartedly with your last point. At my last company they had no equity going in, and added it on Jan 1st a year later. When I spoke to the founders about raises for the engineering team, the CTO looked at me funny. "we just

Chrome throttles background JavaScript by default (disables requestAnimationFrame entirely, reduces allowed runtime to around 1% of real time, etc) [1]. However disabling it entirely would break a lot of use cases. Chat apps would stop work

If you are being super paranoid... Unless the open source app is transparently built and app store deployed from a public build server, it's very easy for the owner to inject a back-door into it. There's no mechanism built into th

I used to work at a startup which transitioned to lambda from ec2. We rewrote our backend from rest php to graphql typescript. I can tell you that it is amazing operationally. You push code to aws and it just runs. A comparison with manuall

When Google crawls your site, it doesn't know the difference between two urls with the same path, but with different GET params. Theres no way for them to know whether or not the extra params on the URL change the result page. (i.e. ex

I'm the same. Anything I do, I make sure it's in typescript because I find it easier to write than standard js. Generics are a complex concept for people to grasp without some time playing and reading docs, but once you learn it,

At my startup we just bought 4 new 2017 13" MBPs. We bought some expensive USB c to HDMI adapters so we could connect two monitors to them. 3 out of the 4 MBPs have a fault which causes the second screen to flicker and bug out. We trie

We've recently started our transition from full rest to graphql. It's actually magical how much easier it is to do everything. We've used join-monster to handle the sql generation so it's been a breeze to get everything

Service workers are in a separate layer to your app code. They're in another thread, they're subject to different memory/storage rules, they have access to a few extra apis IIRC. Service workers are designed to be run indepen

This is what I've noticed as well. Most devs can't communicate for shit. Being able to just talk is often enough to get your foot in the door. It also has the added bonus of giving you more power in the workplace. If you can commu

It's the same reason we don't have Burger King in Australia. We have Hungry Jack's. When burger king tried to start its brand in Australia way back when, they were unable to register the burger king licence in all states beca
