PixelBook has something like Expose, but it’s no where as smooth. It snaps into place in weird ways and that kills the magic.

I sold my razer to get the N-Gage and I loved it. I am a gamer and loved the games available to it.

I’ve run into this a bit with progress related stuff. I bet if you looked at progress bar libraries they’d have similar logic built in.

I’m glad you mentioned this. I worked on an email client like this for a bit, but I found email difficult to work with. Basically I wanted to be able to whitelist important senders…

We don’t have the stats on the number of households the payment processing industry and banking industry could power. Not saying that it’s more or less, just something I considered…

I noticed this too. I wrote a WordPress plugin to trigger a TravisCI build when I publish a post and this works great, but it takes 5 minutes or so to publish a new version of the …

I would expect them to post to Snapchat as you take photos.

These are pretty cool: https://lensstudio.snapchat.com I’ve seen them show up a bunch online and on Snapchat.

Yeah anytime Slack is mentioned at work someone brings up IRC. So I get what he’s saying.

AppEngine standard can actually scale down to 0 instances when not in use to save money. Still very different from a serverless architecture though.

Apple is doing similar stuff by refusing to implement the payment request API and instead implementing their proprietary Apple Pay API. So you can use one API to target Chrome and …

When you run code on a website you don’t own you have to be extremely careful. You’ll learn this quick building WordPress themes and plugins. They’re pretty careful not to directly…

Exactly. The first thing I thought about when I saw this was the implications of having JavaScript that has not been tested in the context of a website running. You have no clue ho…

Time Warner did show up at my door when they updated their speeds. I thought it was strange,and asked him to have Time Warner call and schedule a time, but it worked. He was going …

You can totally do all of this. There are projects that just pipe the output of Babel into uglifyjs into a file and call it a day. You still “need” to use npm to install those pack…

I use Firebase with Cloud Functions for form handling and other data related tasks (like caching API calls). I'm loving the integration between the two.

This is super cool! Are there any posts about how the fishtests work? I love reading about how people solve interesting testing problems.

The token is an Ethereum token, so it's totally possible to do it in a decentralized way using a smart contract.

Very interesting! The first static CMS I've seen that isn't just an API. I've used http://prose.io in the past to edit content in GitHub, but this seems nicer. Currently I'm using …

I've been using Rails and React for a couple of projects, one using Rails API mode with a separate React front end, and one using react-rails. I'd argue that with webpacker built i…

Does the iPhone 6s have a similar flaw? I'm still using one.

I also think Rust is the more interesting choice, but the company I work for went with Go. It does seem to be the more popular choice.
