From a personal perspective I stopped building HTML web apps after I started to transition my WebSQL apps to IndexedDB. I really really disliked the experience (messy code/overhead) and haven't had any desire to write another with

Because in the short term it sounds good, like eating takeaways. But in the long run its pathogenic. If you can't see the whole system and need a quick buck why not. Theres a reason most of these industries have existed unregulated thr

I mucked around with a few but found them quite restrictive and generally only pushed issues around as opposed to solving them. As soon as you're dealing with a nasty API you can generally find the limits of a framework and have to sta

I loved it, but I'm bias as I love all of Mike Judges work. I don't really find most his his work boisterous comedy, more a charming satire that I can watch over and over and still enjoy. I do find however when I try to retell sce

I'm not sure how it differed from opening up any manual to anything. The reason you are opening up the manual is the key point. I think for me its was a progression from 'how' -> 'when' -> 'why' -&g

No thank you, its great to see such lateral thinking and particularly around something thats the potential to be quite beneficial to people who have live hard enough as it is. You put a smile on a jaded mans face with this app, and towards

Thanks, I opened 'zite' up on my tablet and it was mainly really uninspired/mundane/transparent/poorly executed attempts at humor and I was quite put off by it. Be glad for that crap not to surface here.

I haven't seen the term "pragmatism" in this thread. Thats a major difference I've noticed over the years. Something that used to drive me nuts when I was a junior dev, and something I get torture my underlings with thes

From my point of view its management handling thats my issue. When I say week to update iOS, 3 days on the html version, 3 weeks for android, I get a massive push back... "android in one week".. "OK an extra few days for test

What I instantly thought of shared experiences with the game recording features of the PS4, or even ghosting along other players in real time. Its the type of tech that could take the competitive gaming community to whole new levels of enjo

Sony was about to steam roll them? and Microsoft in the next year as well? The Sony morpheus system is already better than oculus feature wise, with better position tracking, and accessory tracking as well. And don't under estimate tha

Well for me its the fact Facebook is an overbearing controlling experience which abuses it market position for its own interests above those of its users (both paying and free). Its also a very narrow sighted company that has moved into the

Same reaction here. I'd say more about my opinion of Facebook and Zuckerberg business capabilities and behaviour, but it would add nothing to a civil discussion... EDIT: for some laughs have a read of the Kotaku thread on facebook : h

I couldn't agree more here. After reading the source code on the twitter css bootstrap makefile a few years ago I got inspired and wrote my own rewrite of what they had... I was blown away by the gains at it gave me. Of note I bound ma

The problem with silent+no vibrate is that interruption still exists. I often take my phone out of my pocket when sitting for dinner, or just randomly when I become aware its there. What I really should do, and might do after writing this i

I'm not a fan of cell phones at all, even dumb ones. I hate being interrupted, being taken out of the zone, when I'm enjoying things. So I don't take the phone I have with me. I leave it in the car. And its permanently on sil

No you are getting downvoted because you are as wrong as you can possibly get. And by the looks of it CSS focused... which I wouldn't even call engineering. Things rarely go obsolete for one thing. Try explaining why COBAL, FORTRAN, VB

"The author's argument against automation in these life-saving contexts is weak." I think you missed the point of the article. Its not that existence of automation is bad, its the implementation of it that (in a lot of cases)

I do it for a simple reason, layout clean up with auto-indent. I've found HTML layout cleanup to be unreliable in most editors. Where as XML layout works 99% of the time.

I had two incidents within a year involving members of my family that make me keep cops at a huge distance. First was my father, he was a farmer at the time, late 50s. He found a crop of marijuana on the farm and turned it into the police.
