The react ecosystem is massive, and includes impressive projects like the various backends/renderers: react-native, react-sketch.app, react-vr, react-pdf, ink, that have no equivalent in other frameworks (or at least to nowhere near th

Looks like they're working on moving away from bower: https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/issues/326#issuecomment-3... A quick CDN get-started would be convenient I agree. There is Polymer-CDN for demos&#

Yeah I don't have a stake/opinion, just posted that particular article because it's a recent, thorough take, by a lawyer.

Webpack's HMR (hot reloading) of JS does work with create-react-app, but only if you use an external state store (like Redux), see [1]. The 'React Hot Loader' [2] module, which maintains local React component state is not i

Worth knowing most new vinyl records come with a copy of the digital download too. Amazon will also automatically add (most?) vinyl purchases to your Amazon Music Library, and allow download.

True for async code, but if you use something like ShellJS [1] (which would be an easy way to rewrite a bash script that was getting out of hand), all commands are synchronous, so error handling is just try/catch. [1] https:/&#x2

Awfully vague/FUDdy criticisms there: - dynamic require()'s can't be tree-shaken: same is true of other langs, e.g. Python. Perfectly understandable IMO as Node was designed for the server, in a time tree-shaking (largely des

Huh, I started that premise and I'm continuing to argue it. You might be thrown off by HN's busted comment nesting. If my last comment wasn't clear, I think the dent in revenue would be considerable for fully open-sourcing Su

Huh? For an editor in the browser you don't send every keystroke and paint update over the network. The UI is effectively local, you would only need to send regular network updates for 'autosave', and it wouldn't be to k

Sublime, last time I used it, had a nag window every x saves(?) if unlicensed, which I'm sure encouraged a lot of people to pay. I doubt so many users would convert if it was totally open source and they could easily install a nag-free

Yeah I checked out eacharg in your codebase, looks tight. I learnt quite a lot from your code about how jQuery could be structured, nice job!

Heh, props, I'm not disappointed, and yes that's a much better callback! But that is not implemented in the 5 lines of code you linked to is it? :)
