It’s a sane scripting language. It encouraged me to automate simple tasks, create handy functions etc. I don’t have to google the for loop syntax every time I need it.

Yes, switching networks can indeed cause users to receive different versions within the 3 hour window. In general we ship small, incremental changes that rarely even are visible to the user, so a small likelihood of serving inconsistent ver

Hey, blog post author here. Good question. We just tested with ab (ApacheBench) and consistently observed the difference between Lambda enabled and disabled. We wanted to be sure this system does not incur any significant overhead and that’

Yay, no more using single repo with orphan branches to save on number of repositories :-)

The story of this checklist has been covered in “The Checklist Manifesto” by Atul Gawande. It’s a great read on how diligence in work can literally save lives. We can advance medicine by breakthrough discoveries that push our knowledge furt

My recommendation: configure the shell prompt (add __git_ps1 to $PS1), this saves a ton of time and makes it much easier to understand what is going on. Especially recommended for beginners (but obviously not limited to).

> We could insert new list items into the existing DOM, but finding the right place to insert them is error-prone, and each insert will cause the browser to repaint the page, which is slow. I don’t think the last part is true. Browsers d

One can argue if it’s a misuse or not. It’s quite handy to have such utility classes that rely on !important and can be used in markup directly. I have plenty of those in my stylesheets. [1] http://davidtheclark.com/on-utili

I wrote a JavaScript-to-C compiler: https://github.com/jdudek/tatende-js . It supports a limited subset of the language—just enough to compile itself. It was my university project. It’s not really useful, but it was ext

Pardon my ignorance, but why is cross-compilation not an option in this case?

Do you happen to remember what was the idea of that approach alternative to Elm Architecture?

Elm is a much, much smaller community than React. You won’t find as many libraries and ready-made components in Elm as you would in React. On the other hand, when there is an Elm library for something, it’s often of very high quality.

Impressive that you can find such low quality article. Reads almost like it was written by a machine.

It is very safe. People are extremely friendly—for example, I was invited by strangers for a dinner a few times. The police is not corrupt. According to my guidebook, wild dogs and rabies are the biggest concern. Be prepared to see a lot of

This is quite similar to how we hire Ruby on Rails developers. We organise two-weeks long Bootcamp where we train people in Rails. At the end we offer some of them to join us as junior developers, with further training during next year. Tho

It’s been an interesting comparison. However, there are programming Bootcamps that are free of charge, like http://pilot.co/bootcamp (disclaimer: I work for Pilot). The ROI comparison is quite interesting in that case… :)

I don't think it is semantics, setting vertical margin: auto here has just no effect. It's worth noting that the last example with margin:auto can be used for centering within any div that has position: relative (there's noth
