I couldn't agree more. Well said! The [Ethical Open Source definition][1] does include three general points on behalf of the end user: accessibility, safety, and privacy. But it does not address the relationship between developers and

Thanks for your part in getting this story published! If you have not seen it, the BBC series "The Century of the Self" details the pre-history of these tendencies in the creation of the public relations industry by Freud's n

Yah. I don't know ClojureScript but that doesn't stop me from using it. And David Nolen pretty convincingly addressed the size question in "Javascript Modularity Shaming"[1] - i.e.: use Google Closure Compiler. [1]: htt

I found David Nolen's talk at React conf useful in understanding the motivation for cursors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hGHdETNteE . See in particular starting around 15:40. Cursors are used when you are strict ab

Can someone explain the advantages of using this over mori (which doesn't include cursors per se at the moment, but are easy to implement on top of mori data structures)?

Shouldn't they be studying how we can get more restful sleep rather than fantasizing about extracting more work out of us? I don't consider it 'productive' (much less healthy) when I spend the night grinding on some tech

Very nice article. You lost me a bit towards the end re event communication but then I haven't played with d3's events. It would be great to see an article just on that.

It's a great action - and technically speaking takes us to a new level I think - I look forward to adapting the code for other campaigns I'm involved with. I appreciate the background and your work involved in bringing groups toge

Follow you around like a drone eh? Look, we're not the ones who politicized the term. A robotic bee mascot is not going to put off people's discomfort. Which is unfortunate because it looks like a really promising tool for CI... c

Haha all the proud mercenaries of HN quick to shoot down any hint of politics in their little world... A good number of us INside the US (not to mention Europe and elswhere) would certainly think twice about using a tool called drone. A lot

Hey, Philip - thanks for posting this and also the previous write-up of your experiences as a helper in the 'boot camp' ( http://pgbovine.net/teaching-librarians-programming.htm ). It is very valuable, including the

The point is with component you have a choice of how granular you want your components depending on the project, and there is very low cost to breaking things down and having a bunch of dependencies. Whereas the tendency almost everywhere e

I haven't tried bower, but I always get a little confused when it gets compared to component. Bower seems like a downloader with some 'dependency management'. But its 'dependencies' are disconnected from a module&#x

I completely agree and recommend component for all the reasons Ian mentions. It is shocking how little-known it is in javascript land. Don't be put off by lack of documentation and examples, it is seriously awesome. In fact I can'
