When I was on-call for a big project, I jumped every time my phone rang. It wasn't a good experience at all. "We are at the fair, I have 18 customers lined up but I can't take orders. Can you fix this now or should I start ta

This is my favorite mobile game of all time. The AI is also very weird (in a good way) and sometimes genius! It feels like the custom maps I used to create with "Age of Empires II" in which I let random units fight against each ot

But the GDPR itself is written in legalese. There are many interpretations like yours, but then, without a lawyer, it's a dangerous game to play. The cost of the lawyer may be prohibitive to some small businesses, let alone side-projec

I guess that depends on how many you want to buy. I can't come up with a reason why one would buy many domains with an obscure TLD, especially for private use but that doesn't mean that there isn't one.

I'm very happy it's not written in {insert technology unpopular among hackers to gather points}. Nowhere is Electron mentioned and still comes the hate. A close friend of mine (not a web-developer, unlike me) has a very popular ap

I just thought, to a certain age, it may be required. I'm not a parent so I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

IMHO it's bad, as long as a lifestyle is pushed heavily from people who aren't immediate family. Doesn't matter if it's "hookup culture" or waiting for the prince charming to marry.

That is correct but we are not talking in the context of the emulation circles.

An old colleague of mine hated the word "awesome" because, in his words, "it's a word js-kiddies use to exaggerate their little accomplishments". Guess how he reacted when someone used the phrase "isomorphic js

Why do they even market those new chips? It's the average performance that matters and you can wait 10 seconds to open an app, as, in the end it didn't change the average performance from the case that you would open it in a secon

I try to write a first prototype without any regards to best practices. When I'm doing a rewrite (of a prototype, not a full product), by then I already have the structure in my mind and perfectionism then can't get in the way. Fo

it's the same brand, I think if they have the tendency to do this for their keyboard and mouse, who knows what they'll end up doing with their laptops.

I just watched "Perfect Blue", it was really great. I'll keep watching more Satoshi Kon movies if I can find the DVDs. It's really hard to find them.

AFAIK it doesn't, but I'm just learning. My understanding is the standard way of doing things work if you are creating the most boring CRUD apps but you need to "bend the rules" a bit to make it work for your use case ve

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think what you have is described as an "action dispatcher" these days. For what it's worth, I think, we can define the whole Flux architecture in somewhat-skewed MVC terms. Not trying to dow

It indeed is, as long as we accept the first screenshot as the normal scale.

Try/catch is not async and exceptions do not bubble up through the async context, which makes sense as the caller moved on with execution. Try this in your console: try { console.log("see, "); setTimeout

I guess you can do that even with a simple Windows Forms application that has a full size web view?

I use Windows daily, and I'm not sure how to feel when I consider the daily attempts against my choices and privacy. It feels like they try to be nice but unintentionally mess up sometimes. Feelings aside, they've done solid open

While what they ended up doing is definitely worse, I wouldn't see them "taking it lightly" as natural too. After all, they've put the life of many in danger. "Hey we messed up big time, here's the cause, here

If we're considering just the availability, Google Maps has an option to cache a region for offline use, which works spectacularly good - given that you get your antenna on a good signal every once in a while.
