Git is distributed, but obviously you're going to have a canonical repository somewhere (git.kernel.org, for instance). Decentralization doesn't mean getting rid of a canonical pla…

> I wouldn't try to use Angular for an HTML 5 game, for example, though there's a good chance I wouldn't use jQuery either. I actually did use Angular for an HTML5 game last week a…

--resist strong urge to speak ill of both products-- god, that is a very difficult temptation to resist :(

It's not shocking at all that they make people uncomfortable, just like it's not surprising that it's uncomfortable when someone points their mobile phone at you on the train. It's…

yes, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6747373 and likely other times too. (edit: this is more of a parody, but you could probably consider it trolling in some sense)

I'd like to think Angular 2 will be well received, even if we are probably checking off more than a few of these boxes (not that AngularJS 1.x doesn't, though)

Even if they can't make this effective (and cost effective) for people who have had the disease for over a decade, that's still fantastic news and a good reason to be hopeful. I'll…

I'm glad you're finding Angular is working well for you! You may be (okay, considering what this article is about, you probably are) aware of this, but we're making an effort to dr…

I'm fairly sure they're not writing device drivers or TCP/IP stacks, so they likely don't depend on a systems level language. A lot of work has gone into enabling people to write t…

I'm not seeing it in the latest Harmony draft, but it is already available in some implementations, and polyfills tend to have it. (one of) The issue(s) which is coming up for us W…

While I haven't used it personally, I've heard of people shipping Node.js as part of iOS apps (and, for that matter, as part of Firefox extensions), but even without Node.js, most …

Don't you hate it when the answer you want to give to a question isn't an option on the survey?

It would be a net benefit for everyone if people stopped believing San Francisco was some kind of "technology/business mecca" or something. We need budding tech sectors all over th…

You want to avoid making it look like it's actually "endorsed" by Google, or a product of Google's, despite interop with one of Google's products. The name can be an issue here, so…

When recruiters contact you, GPA doesn't tend to come up at all, at least in my experience.

IQ is not "cognitive ability", it's a fallible (and arguably biased) quantification/quotient of a (not exhaustive) set of measures of (some form of) cognitive ability. People gener…

Myself and plenty of other women are absolutely involved in technology (and loving it). But, is software development really "power"? Is it really "changing the world"? Is it really…

The angularjs.org sites are indexed, just by using a trivial nginx directive to selectively serve partials to crawlers. All of the angularjs.org apps still rank fairly well using t…

That might be a bit of an exaggeration, although on the Angular side, we'd certainly like to have it pref'd on by default this summer (as unlikely as that may be). Anyways, I reall…

Somehow, with stories like these being so common in the news, I just don't think I want to live in that country. Apart from warmer weather, I'm not sure there's anything worth movi…

In addition to the big google projects using it (Chromium, V8, WebRTC/jingle, etc), there's also Joyent's Node.js (and forks, + numerous node packages containing native code), as w…

https://xkcd.com/927/ But on a serious note, I really want to see Gyp become more popular, for the simple reason that integrating multiple Gyp projects is essentially zero-effort. …

FB React is a good example because it's living more in the presentation layer. But Custom Elements offer some things that React doesn't (as far as I'm aware). One is better encapsu…

When you have time (and are allowed to), it would be really cool if you could submit a patch against http://github.com/angular/builtwith.angularjs.org . It's not necessarily the si…
