I think it's important for any comment or post touting the superiority of Vue to also provide insight into the author's experience with and feeings about React. You very rarely hear from devs who were loving React, tried Vue anywa

To help put this in perspective, how heavily did you use React before switching to Vue? How did you feel about it at the time, before you were aware of Vue?

This is great advice, particularly the part about small, similar components instead of large, customizable ones. This is something I feel like I struggle with in views much more than I ever did working backend, and it's healthy to be r

For any Pantera fans here, Dimebag is said to have tuned somewhere between 425-435 Hz for all of their albums after Cowboys From Hell.

This is all true for some languages but I think it it's far from universal. It seems to me that in many of the most frequently used and taught modern languages, the nearest most devs will come to being concerned with GC is an awareness

When I was trying to learn Rails, what differentiated Michael's book everything else I came across was his eagerness to not just show _what_ to do but also explain _why_ you're doing it. This is always my suggestion for anyone who

For companies managing the licenses for their employees, this is a great change. It's especially true for those who have a few primary languages but occasionally get contracts or have projects in other languages. For those with staff s

I remember when the Storm came out. I was doing IT work for small businesses in the area and many of my clients, the Blackberry Faithful, would get their latest phones whenever possible. From the consumer side, it was every bit of the disas

I appreciate a human, conversational approach to technical information and applaud you for your blog's tone. If you were writing for a professional news site it might be inappropriate but as a post on your own blog, you're entitle

This is a bit of the stretch. Philadelphia is a complex city with complex problems and its police department reflects this. It has plenty of problems but it also has a lot of cops who care.

I took part in a hackathon a few weeks ago and we needed a text editor that we could easily implement and customize. In particular, we wanted more control over the appearance of the toolbar -- we wanted to use our own buttons and move them

When I started looking through this, I wondered if any of the early-2000s adware platforms would make an appearance... and there it was! Gator at #17 in 2001. I was working at the tech bench at Best Buy in high school and removal of it and

Did anyone ever spend much time with Light Table? I gave it a chance when the Ruby plugin was new but missed my Sublime plugins and shortcuts too much.

No, time that has passed is not a weak excuse if we are discussing something that is current and loosely involves many of us (the purchase of .io TLDs, an issue that only emerged recently) instead of having a general discussion about govern

by chrislgrigg 12y ago
This situation doesn't really seem like it's "history" in the same sense, considering it happened so recently, governments are still actively working against them as they attempt repatriation, and the TLD issue is fresh.

If nothing else, it would be nice if learning about this inspired those who own .io domains to contribute to a fund for the Chagossian people. I'd certainly match the $60 I paid to register my domain to a support organization if I coul

Interesting (?) piece of trivia: one of the founders of Mapillary is Peter Neubauer, who was one of three creators of Neo4j.

This trend of sites that break gesture forward/back, space bar scroll, and other standard browser features needs to stop.

Are they? I'm not so sure. They have a right to feel upset that money has disrupted (and not in some cool buzzword startup kind of way) their way of life by driving up the cost of living without trickling down to them. A lot of what wa

Already seeing the responses about how their worldview is simplistic, how the protestors are acting out against people who are there to help them... but does anyone want to comment on the actual complaint that the influx of tech money is in

Ouch. This same thing happened to another friend of mine. I referred him to a client in need of a freelance graphic designer. They had been contracted to do a design for something in Camden, NJ. He gave them the design, they printed thousan

I disagree with your idea of the gist of this article. What I took from it was that illegal music downloaders should not be disregarded and we can glean important metrics that artists should consider. This is completely at odds with the opi

Got excited, then saw that your business must operate from university-affiliated property. Those of us already established in NYC and working from shared spaces, home, etc. are ineligible. Might still be worth it (I don't have the expe

I'm hopeful for 2014. SteamOS has the potential to bring a lot of new attention to desktop Linux from both consumers and hardware vendors.

When I was around 7 or 8, I borrowed every book on BASIC from my local library that they had, since that was all they had that dealt with programming. My parents encouraged me but didn't have anything close to a technical background, s

If you are playing a show, do not lie. Get all of your paperwork and do it by the book. It's free and easy, especially if it's a DIY show with no guarantee. You just need the promoter to sign some stuff and follow a few simple rul

Every band I know who travels into Canada even kind of regularly has a horror story about customs. My band and I have played Canada three times and of the six border crossings, we had two rough experiences. The worst of them involved them s
