Opinions vary, but I've never found Apple software to be particularly good. Their hardware is almost always exceptional. I'd go further and say I am constantly frustrated by how difficult their software can make basic tasks. I oft

The Feb 2nd episode of the "The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge" podcast may be of interest to you, its title is "Should Canada Include Nuclear Weapons In Its Defence Strategy?", and offers a perspective on the subject.

I would say not very often, but yes, very recently even. I've been researching new backpacking gear this summer, looking on sites that are known to me, so I've been seeing lots of ads for that type of stuff naturally. One store ke

I don't use one either. I actually think ads are a good system for supporting content, and I do want to support the creators of the content I consume. I also have a low threshold for obnoxious sites, and will just bail and not return i

Being owned by Meta (or Facebook at the time) was a selling feature for me when settling on it. The main reason being that they use it heavily internally, and have a vested interest in its success as a result. They've built it to meet

When I loaded up the link, before viewing the comments in here, the very first thing I did was look for "Rebecca purple", and I was happy to find it. Not really a comment on your remarks, but thought I would share it. I'm inf

JS has BigInt support, a quick Google tells me this is supported by wasm. I'm not sure if they are doing that here or not. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Part way through this radio program, they have a conversation with one of the team members. Very interesting stuff. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-the-frida...

I mostly agree, this is always my thought about this stuff. As you say, it is so far in the future that a new government will be in power, and can freely reverse these decisions. Or we'll just end up there anyways because that's t

DRY is great guideline. KISS is another one. I find that it is not uncommon for the two of them to butt heads a little, and it can be tricky to find the correct balance. In general, I am finding that I favour repetition over abstraction mor

Interesting article about this, one of Canada's biggest flour suppliers has not run out of flour, but rather bags to put it in. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/robin-hood-flour-baking-yel...

Mapbox is pretty expensive for small commercial apps, $499 flat rate + usage costs. If your commercial usage is on the smaller side, the new Google Maps pricing looks really good. I was a Mapzen customer, their pricing model was great, very

There was three parts with 4 episodes each, for a total of 12 episodes. All very good. Sounds like you may have missed the next two, definitely worth watching.

Netflix plays fine in Chrome (maybe Firefox too) using HTML5, it was opt-in at one point not sure about now. I watch in Linux all the time, no Silverlight there.

For what its worth, I've been using the dev channel for a long time and have never had any issues. It's very stable. I'd recommend it.

I thought there was a proposal in the works for adding checksums on script tags. Something like: <script src='...' checksum='2fd4e1c67a2d28fced849ee1bb76e7391b93eb12' /> Which would allow the browser to use ca

I think it is a bit of an exaggeration, but not entirely inaccurate. I am currently working on a large application UI re-write, we've moved to React, and JQuery was included from day one. The entire application uses JQuery exactly once

Sort of off topic, but one thing I really enjoy about the Go project is how open development and intent is. In addition to this, the Go team has shared plans (and invited discussion) for many things, some examples: Internal changes: https:

I've stumbled across this before, its a very good read. Highly recommended! There are some great videos on YouTube about the subject, left over from that era. I really like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaVw

I don't get that argument. Sass manages to avoid $ conflicts while using it for both variables and mixins. Its nice clean, consistent syntax. I don't see why we need different syntax for the two. Eg: $myColor: #fff; a {

This hardly even talks about the templating package in Go, which is really good. They have found a nice balance between ease of use and functionality. It reads a lot like mustache, but has the power of a language that allows you to mix mark
