The counter to that is that going and looking at the call sites to that function would have given the author a better understanding of what those call sites were, why they called t…

Appreciate the response. The thing is, for a lot of it I can’t go into huge amounts of detail otherwise I could write a book on it. You’re right that the interaction system could k…

Author here. It might be worth reading part 1, also. Aside from that, yes z-index was because there are multiple SVGs rendered. We also had non-SVG stuff for each element like inpu…

Author here. For sure. That’s actually what we’re likely to do as the basemap rendering is done in webgl

Author here. The example given is slightly contrived. A more realistic example involves large polygons that you zoom “inside” or locked elements overlaying active ones. But I had t…

And since you mention state machines: most of the handlers are done as state machines. Plus the overall app state is done as a kind of reverse state machine where we derive the sta…

Author here. Absolutely right what you said about being easier to grok. Shortly after this was merged to main (though under feature flag) another dev had to fix something and comme…

My colleagues built this and it's pretty neat. But it raises the question, do we have a new law on our hands (if it hasn't already been made): "Anything that can be implemented in …

Currently trendy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns#Introduction.2... I wouldn't consider 1995 current. And it's gone way beyond "trendy". EDIT: Also, what you've menti…

I don't think you've really read and understood the notion of function composition. All you're talking about here is having objects as properties of other objects - that is not fun…

We have a Cordova app that begins on a local web page then immediately redirects to a remote page, and we have recently had a bunch of users on iOS 9.3 complain that they are just …
