Author here. SXO + Reactive Component offers a middle ground between full hydration and static HTML. By rendering semantic server-side JSX and using a 4.8KB client library to provide signal-based reactivity. I'd love to hear what you t

Documentation is an essential part of software development in the open-source world. We all know it's crucial, yet somehow, it always ends up as a collection of outdated markdown files and half-finished README.md lurking in our reposit

Hey, Query [1] creator here. The article raised some exciting challenges. With Query, we solve booth downsides mentioned in it. To keep things simple, we use EventSource for live reloading [2] and JSX Server-Side Rendering [3] for those who

Thank you for posting this. Fine work. I need to give it another read later, but for now, I find Thomas' iambs a little heavyweight. Every line has the same 4x(ba-DUM, ba-DUM) rhythm, with almost no variety. Frost has a lighter touch w

A nasty workaround for a problem which should not exist in the first place. Ditto dependencies on private repositories.

> Is it hard essentially, or is it hard accidentally? Not exactly either, but certainly a bit of both. Programming is hard primarily because it is so poorly understood. The entire field is in its infancy. Comparing it to art, I'm pr

If you didn't catch The Economist's biases on a cursory reading of one issue, that's on you. Simply skimming one of the leader opinion pieces and comparing it to, e.g., a Krugman column, should tell you that the authors would

Recently? The Times has been acquiring credibility question marks since before it unquestioningly published the nonsense about aluminum tubes in Iraq.

Your comment simply says that your politics don't align with The Economist's. I personally find the "he said, she said" style of reporting that purports to give a fair account of all sides intolerable and hypocritical. I

Not entirely. Team control is a major part of it for companies, and history makes a huge difference to the experience. Slack servers allow the use of IRC clients, but I gave up on Colloquy almost immediately after seeing the benefits of his

On the subject of IRC: it wasn't fading all that strongly, IMO, at least for open-source and free software discussions. Then Slack came along. Startling to see a proprietary clone of IRC (albeit with some nice extra features, namely hi

Your surgeon is lazy. He wants you as a patient for 2 days for his fee, not for two weeks. All my research indicates that PRK is substantially better.

One thing about this case puzzles me, and none of the news coverage I found explains it: what code did he actually take?! Details matter. Was it a tweak of something like Samba (obviously GPL)? Or was it part of a proprietary risk managemen

English has an equivalent: "it is what it is". It also stops solution-seeking dead in its tracks. A hateful little phrase.

Sure. I added some reading material links to my comment. The Rane document has an OSHA safe sound levels table at the end, a good reference. Keep in mind that the dB scale is logarithmic if you want to crunch numbers on device power, headph

The rules of thumb about "60% of maximum volume for 60 minutes" and "if you can't hear your surroundings, it's too loud" are nonsense. Dangerous volume settings depend on a headphone's sensitivity, the out

Life imitates fiction? Jack London wrote a short story (part of the Smoke Bellew series) about something similar: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Smoke_Bellew/Shorty_Dreams
