This is where my curiosity lies. I wonder if the DICE founders were very sharp, knew what they were getting into, and had the leverage to set the kind of terms that would maximize their chances of success. For example, I think they decided

What about DICE? And BioWare? I wonder if DICE came to the negotiation table more prepared and/or with something up their sleeve. It could be that EA is hands off so long as a studio produces highly profitable titles. As soon as there&

That's ES6 JavaScript (running on Node 0.11.15). We've already migrated most of our production code to this and we're loving it! If you like that kind of control flow, check out the library we wrote to do it: https:/&#x

A common problem in a service oriented architecture is needed to minimize the amount of round trips to a particular service. Example: To render a UI view, I need to fetch a list of friends, a list of posts, and a list of notifications. All

What a terrible post. Actually, it does have one use. If you're a recent grad or new to the industry, pay close to attention. Don't be like this guy. Before you envelope yourself in the comfort of frameworks and libraries, learn h

I picked one up today. Impressions so far: - Comfortable. - Looks nice, I like wearing it. Doesn't feel flashy. - Does what it says it will. No buggy surprises. - Scroll performance isn't very good. - UI feels right otherwise. Not

Or is this just the place where I do need to catch errors and process them? And if that is so, isn't it at odds with the whole concept of writing intentional code? No it's not. The author touches on this: Note the word intentio

One thing express doesn't do is manage URLs for you. I wrote a simple module that does this[0]. It helps, especially when you have a large number of URLS. [0] https://github.com/artnez/urltree

This is true, but existing Chrome users aren't notified when an extension is removed from the store. I had no idea of this malware until it surfaced when the redirect failed.

Since Chrome auto-updates extensions, users are likely not aware of this change. I've been using the extension for several months until I noticed the transparent redirection. In fact, the only reason I noticed the redirect is when it f
