There's a dissertation and thousands of articles(one if which this comments section links to) that go into all the minutiae of a "proper" REST implementation. My comment poses the idea that an understanding of the proper or p

It doesn't really matter what the dissertation says. Because we don't follow dogma. REST has evolved. Whether people understand it or not isn't that important, what matters is the patterns that emerge that people are actually

I don't think it's because people are offended at the use of the word master, in this case. I think, that it's symbolic. By making a point of getting rid of the word master, you're showing that black lives matter.

What's the issue? There's two that are unavoidable. The maximum speed of moving data from one physical place to another, moving data from the hard drive to the motherboard and the ram to the cpu/cache is faster than from the

No one's delivered? There were and are plenty of platforms for full apps on the web. All of them require: loading each time or elevated privileges above the normal browser. This is not the reason they haven't taken off. Security i

You know there's a difference between what is most likely true and what's provable in court, right? It's perfectly reasonable to see all the facts, many of which aren't permitted to be considered by a jury, and then say,

There's no reason why "figure out what to do next" can't be a concrete task. I set up a daily schedule and I schedule reassessing and specifying more detail into my work.

The anti-visual noise bias has gone too far. You remove boxes, underlines, and understandable cues like arrows, then they remove words and replace them with nonsense icons. Most UIs make no sense.

I agree with the idea that there's too much reliance on in-app education, but this post quickly starts snowballing false metaphors into an extreme of a label is bad design. There is nothing inherently wrong with the link to the inbox s

Devs using the newest tech at start-ups, hobbies, and in their side work leads to the menegerie of today's Node Microservices Containers (or whatever) becoming tomorrow's Java 8 on Windows 2012. Interestingly, I work at a medium s

I read the example of Blender as an example of one of many open source solutions.

Companies weigh the benefit of open source for their needs against non open source products. A limited list of reasons they may use it include available talent (people often learn on free stuff), availability of support and consultants loca

Interest? Very few people care to build medical billing software or crms for free in their spare time. So you get products that aren't as good. Even with blender, there's far better paid tools because people need money to live, so

I use bookmarks, but rarely for clicking from the bar. Chrome and Edge promote bookmarked sites in the nav bar suggestions when I'm typing. I usually use descriptive names of the content so I can find stuff I liked or go to often by ty

It makes sense to me. The previous generations had pages that had more rendering on the server and "forms." Now, it's single page applications hitting REST end points. So before, you had complex models, tightly bound back-end

Yeah, it's true, but I've also been in interviews where I told them I was using a tool that I think they thought was too hipster and ended up just being ahead of the curve (Babel or TypeScript, don't remember which one, both

Why does it have to be simple enough for everyone to understand? We're talking building in one of the most expensive parts of the world where only the richest organizations can afford to build and it affects millions of people directly

I hope they break the API and create proper namespacing. I recommend using the model from Composer/Packagist.

Mobile browsers can figure out scroll on their own, why did they do this? I wonder why websites override default browser page navigation that works just fine with broken estimations of the same functionality?

Amy Wohl's comment is true, but I've realized I can't pick out the right visual tools in any field on the computer unless I already know what I'm doing. This of course doesn't apply in a business setting where envir

Such is often the case with apps that actually need to and/or get released.

I don't agree with all the advice, but I do think it's a good message. My favorite part is actually on pre-onboarding: "If everyone has to come in and manually set up everything, what you have is this super painful onboarding

You make a valid point, it is for a different purpose. I think many people aren't arguing the actual law, on Hacker News, I feel as if the commenters are expressing their expert opinions on what it should be. I'm not an expert, bu

I guess it depends on whether we're talking spine, muscles, circulation or back-as-support for the whole body. Standing seems like "paleo" to me. Our ancestors did it so it must be best, am I right brah? They died younger or
