This is what Siri should have been.

It’s a sane scripting language. It encouraged me to automate simple tasks, create handy functions etc. I don’t have to google the for loop syntax every time I need it.

Yes, switching networks can indeed cause users to receive different versions within the 3 hour window. In general we ship small, incremental changes that rarely even are visible to…

Hey, blog post author here. Good question. We just tested with ab (ApacheBench) and consistently observed the difference between Lambda enabled and disabled. We wanted to be sure t…

Here’s a similar write-up on building a BitTorrent client in Haskell: https://blog.chaps.io/2015/10/05/torrent-client-in-haskell-1...

Yay, no more using single repo with orphan branches to save on number of repositories :-)

The story of this checklist has been covered in “The Checklist Manifesto” by Atul Gawande. It’s a great read on how diligence in work can literally save lives. We can advance medic…

My recommendation: configure the shell prompt (add __git_ps1 to $PS1), this saves a ton of time and makes it much easier to understand what is going on. Especially recommended for …

> We could insert new list items into the existing DOM, but finding the right place to insert them is error-prone, and each insert will cause the browser to repaint the page, which…

One can argue if it’s a misuse or not. It’s quite handy to have such utility classes that rely on !important and can be used in markup directly. I have plenty of those in my styles…

I wrote a JavaScript-to-C compiler: https://github.com/jdudek/tatende-js . It supports a limited subset of the language—just enough to compile itself. It was my university project.…

Pardon my ignorance, but why is cross-compilation not an option in this case?

Do you happen to remember what was the idea of that approach alternative to Elm Architecture?

Elm is a much, much smaller community than React. You won’t find as many libraries and ready-made components in Elm as you would in React. On the other hand, when there is an Elm l…

Impressive that you can find such low quality article. Reads almost like it was written by a machine.

It is very safe. People are extremely friendly—for example, I was invited by strangers for a dinner a few times. The police is not corrupt. According to my guidebook, wild dogs and…

This is quite similar to how we hire Ruby on Rails developers. We organise two-weeks long Bootcamp where we train people in Rails. At the end we offer some of them to join us as ju…

It’s been an interesting comparison. However, there are programming Bootcamps that are free of charge, like http://pilot.co/bootcamp (disclaimer: I work for Pilot). The ROI compari…

I don't think it is semantics, setting vertical margin: auto here has just no effect. It's worth noting that the last example with margin:auto can be used for centering within any …
