I'm on one of the latest MacBook Pros and Firefox uses more CPU, RAM, and energy than Safari. I don't mind the extra CPU and RAM usage, but the energy usage needs some work, specially during idle time. On average the energy impact

That's great to hear. For a lot of users, Chrome is not the competition, but rather Safari, because Safari is energy efficient and privacy conscious. If Firefox can get as energy efficient, or even just close enough to Safari then it b

Hear, hear. The packaging enticed my GF, so she bought a couple to try. I wanted to like it because I liked premise of showing the ingredients right in the front. But boy oh boy was it hard to chew, and taste was nothing worthwhile. RXBars

If you're on a Mac, I highly recommend Quiver - "The Programmer's Notebook" ( http://happenapps.com ) No affiliation, just like and use it :)

I'm surprised to hear you say that Vue has a large API, because one of my reasons for adopting Vue was its small API. It allowed me to hold a mental model of the API in my head. You can go through the entire docs in less than an hour

Sure, though mentioning the rockets wasn't even a good example of his point, since every launch gets plenty of media coverage.

The part about the rockets is off. SpaceX is based in Hawthorne, CA, which is in the Los Angeles area. LA has a high density of aerospace engineers, which is one of the reasons Musk based SpaceX there. Source: Worked there.

I would like to be a fly on the wall during the meeting where they decided to add the "carpet." Maybe they are trying to protect our hands from the cold metal, or mitigate the damage of coffee spills. Regardless, that fabric will

I assume you would be doing things in VMs, right!? So what cross-OS issues?

I don't think most people doubt the utility of Github, but this writing seems to be from a person living in a bubble. Most people don't get the time and resources to work on open source. Some times, you can't even open source

Hired my good sir! When can you start? Good thing you posted it on GitHub, otherwise how else can we know you can code. /s

Thanks for those links. I never knew the person behind Fuzzy Sets, a topic highly relevant to the HN crowd. Lotfi Zadeh is one of the giants we stand on.

Sallam throwaway jaan :) Don't let this hold you back or defer your plans. As a former PhD student in the U.S, I can tell you that you have plenty of options in Canada and Europe. Some of my best professors studied in these areas. Moaf

I can imagine a scenarios where modal can be conditionally shown based on URL query params.

How will this affect UI patterns like Modals?

True, but there are other frameworks that came around the same time and have not reached the momentum of Vue.

Vue is definitely much more approachable. I did not have this experience when using Angular not long ago. To each their own, but I find the Vue API small and simple enough for me to keep it all in my head at once. Reasoning about things has

The FF keynote was one of the worst I have ever seen. They barely even showed the car. They over-hyped and did not deliver on that hype.

If FitBit wants current Pebble users to be their future customers, they should definitely consider not making current Pebble devices useless. I understand this is not a trivial task, but it looks like FitBit mostly acquired Pebble's so

I'm glad you enjoyed your time there. Did you visit Isfahan by any chance?

I agree, indeed we choose our own sources. However, the sentiment of my statement was to point out that it is peculiar that an empire as vast and influential as the Persian Empire is not treated like the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians in mai

When I was young kid in Iran, there was a TV show made about the police chasing after a stolen piece of the Persepolis. The thieves were planning to sell it on the black market. I watched the show every night, because I had visited Persepol

I'm Persian, but I received most of my education in the U.S, and I cannot recall the Persian Empire ever getting mentioned in history classes. Literally, everything else around Iran was mentioned. History is written by the victors.

You don't need to learn Farsi to go there. Many people know enough English words to help you around. Most of the youth were taught some English in high school and college, and many of them can speak fluently and even understand you com

> Barely anyone has mobile safari open. I believe you are misinformed about this one. Not only is mobile Safari open, but it's open with a bunch of tabs.

It is without a doubt not easy task to release a product with the polish of a MBP, but as you said, you would think there would be something competing at an equal level by now. I don't think Lenovo's efforts lived up to the glory
