We don't know if it's Gandalf. It's only speculation. He mimics Gandalf-isms from the movies (cupping a bug and talking to it), and generally looks like him. It could easily be misdirection for someone else like Sauron or may

I'm talking about running week or month long tests with control and multi test cells containing new functionality, configuration, or code to determine the viability of a single or combination of changes by analyzing statistical output

Have to disagree. I've found plenty of issues that affect real production users through the use of AB testing. Problems that were small enough to escape review, testing, and reporting, but large enough to be stat-sig. They always lead

Our product is used by all sorts of devices and resources. Many use it on super old hardware in different countries. 32kb isn't much, but when you're analyzing Time To Render metrics, you might be surprised how little is necessary

We found it to be about 32kb gzip+minified in our builds. I just dropped it from one of our apps, where it wasn't even used except in a legacy logging module. We replaced the ajax call with XHR. The other app we maintain has it as well

Totally agreed for mobile websites, with the exception for PWAs and mobile sites that rely on specific view ports being unchanged, like games for instance. With no scrollbars it's hard to tell if something is zoomed in or not and you m

When you say server-class, do you mean for desktops? Thought I just read recently that Apple is ending Mac OS server.

Do you think Douglass Crockford didn't know that? He was being cheeky and doesn't care. This was also a huge pain point for JSHint and a lot of work went into undoing that by finding a single commit that didn't have the claus

Wearing a Pebble Time right now. Works and looks great, but not 100% even with Rebble. Shame the company failed, the product was perfect for Android users.

Open to how you'd solve it. Fill up the overfilled jails and hospitals? Can't force people unless it's a 5150. You literally cannot stop what is happening without going full militarized police and how is that better? Best thi

Maybe you didn't venture out much, but you should realize that is _mostly_ exclusive to market street. One street of a thousand. Yes it occasionally happens elsewhere like any city, but Market and especially the tenderloin are infamous

Good features for the price, decent pickup speed, gears are smooth, heated leather seats, interesting features like headlight wipers and night panel. Fun to drive and look great. They are quirky and aesthetically distinguishing, especially

At least a decade if not longer. Video streaming doesn't work without it, even if it is unreliable.

This is a virtual domain implementation, like React, not interacting with the actual DOM like the demo in the OP. WASM is awesome, but seems like folks don't really understand it and the limitations. I bet DOM access in WASM is totally

Hi floodfx, we should chat at some point if you're on slack/discord/etc. I'm building something extremely similar and there's potential opportunity to share some code/learnings. Personally I feel this design pa

Definitely, HTML has several tags to help work with external types. You can interface with java, vbscript, flash, pdf, etc. You could absolutely expose top level methods and invoke them in JS.

That makes no sense. Roku was born out of Netflix. Why would they buy them now after making the decision years ago not to entire the consumer hardware market?

Keep in mind `this` is not scoped to arrow functions. So even if the syntax was added the way you proposed, this code wouldn't work or make sense.

If you did something wrong more than once and gave the same apology that statement would make total sense. The first time though is unfair and kind of selfish minded.

It was a complete and totally different time for the web. I was waiting for folks to claim an open source project with outside contributors is the same as a proprietary company moving fast internally and shipping anything and evetything wit

Why do some devs spell JavaScript and TypeScript with the incorrect casing? Not worth their time? Toy languages that aren't to be respected? Not like the rest of the post was riddled with typos to justify it.

Sorry too many obnoxious ads to stay longer than 5 seconds. Maybe put ads after you have a userbase?

This is a terrible use case for cookies. Any browser reset or change, new computer, your phone, etc, and you need to redo the whole experience every time. I'd rather login and customize once. Cookies get sent with most requests as head

NPM does more than just npm install... Not full stop. How can you talk about a tool you dont understand?

Well think harder. Npm runs scripts from package.json. Most folks wouldn't think twice to run sudo npm start as a replacement for sudo node. I sure wouldn't think npm would start mucking with file permissions.

Because sometimes you are writing software that interacts with hardware at a root level. This is really annoying advice you're giving since its absolute and without context. No, not everything is "super dangerous" with sudo.

I suspect this is the real reason why it's limited to 720p. It's on the web where it's not possible to identify that 1080p on a non-hw accelerated rendering device on a fast network won't suffer from playing the higher q
