If you're really Steven Sinofski, pretty damn amazing to see you on hn. Watching you introduce Windows 8 at build two years back, I couldn't have ever imagined seeing you post on hn or any other discussion forum for that matter.

I think there's a page or two that describes what the jsx transformer does(which is it converts them to React.DOM elements IIRC). I think that's where I learnt that you could use raw JS functions instead of jsx, even though it sa

I don't know. Being the head of the largest mobile operating system(that's still growing) alone should be a big enough incentive to stay.

It's not so remarkable considering the IITs aren't a single university. They are dispersed across all of India which is a fairly large country geographically. Also the fact these three people come from India isn't that remark

Did you try denormalizing the author's badge's url field? IIRC, that's what the docs recommended.

We're not saying Angular's bad, just that React's approach is better :) I've tested both (and quite a few other MVVM libraries actually) before I came to this conclusion. Of course, I gain nothing by someone choosing Ang

If you're using something like Angular, Ember or React, it's safe to assume that you'll be building a Single Page Application with the majority of code in Javascript. So evaluating libraries for stability, functionality etc i

Separation of concerns is different from separation of technologies. For more details, view Pete Hunt's excellent talk at http://2013.jsconf.eu/speakers/pete-hunt-react-rethinking-be...

There are tons of javascript libraries that are out there that offer the things you want. In most cases, they are more featureful and more stable than Angular's implementations. Router - Backbone's router, page.js etc Web service

Not to mention, it's much simpler than Angular. You can get upto speed with React in 2 or 3 days. Once you make the shift to specifying single states for your interactions and letting React rebuild the DOM on changes, you'll never

Alan watts' writing is exemplary. The thing I like about his writing is that it's written with an outsider's perspective and critical thinking is never discarded unlike most other books on eastern philosophy. I highly recomme

They're either related to Jetbrains in some way or really lack creativity or maybe they're trying to unduly profit off the good reputation Jetbrains generally has in the community.

While that is true, why would you assume that the poster bought the phone for that reason? He might have bought the phone for any number of reasons such as the low price, decent specs etc.

Depends on what you want to do with it. If you're looking to develop mobile or desktop applications it's almost useless. The desktop GUI is stuck in the 80s and as far as I know even that isn't an option for mobile. If you&#x

Zen philosophy stresses on going with the flow and accepting things as they are. You could argue that Kobun did hit a target even if it wasn't the one the audience (or himself for that matter) anticipated.
