Which would you recommend? ShadyDOM?

Have the polyfills got any better recently? Last I looked, they had a list of performance issues or only partially supported the spec. Made it really hard to consider them for a se…

The unhealthy fascination with burn down charts and Scrum in general continually amazes me. I have witnessed the same debates about what Scrum points system to use so many times an…

Interesting comment below the article regarding a government-run programme in Brazil trying something similar: "However, there is a trend of the part of these persons become depend…

I've been using React for a side project for a while. Generally it's been pretty easy to understand the concepts behind it and get productive. A couple of things that have confused…

I remain pretty dubious about generalisations about the populations of countries as a whole. In my experience, these sorts of differences are more local. People in city centres are…

Thanks for posting. Haven't laughed out loud that much in a while.

Yes, still play AoE 3 occasionally.

Under editors, I'd include Brackets. Really enjoying it.

Can we get an AoE 4 already?

Only if you use some of the old-school widgets (e.g. Horizontal Panel). I think standard practice these days is to use HTML as far as possible in views.

I use both Firefox and Chrome pretty heavily at work. I still prefer the web dev experience in Chrome. The general browsing experience gap has definitely narrowed. Flash + Firefox …

This is my experience too. Most people are still on Facebook, but they are less and less active. And nothing gets me closing the page faster than seeing a bunch of advertising.

It's something you see a lot of, especially from non-frontend developers that don't really think twice about downloading an extra 80-90kb of JavaScript. I do find the support for e…

As someone who has thus far only used with Angular for smaller projects, seeing performance raised as a concern is a bit of a concern for ever using it in a serious project. Would …

Reminds me of Windows RG http://www.cs.umd.edu/~meou/Flashes/WINRG/WINRG.html (not sure of original source).

Research about research. Always seems like the time would have been better spent on actual research.

The most useful thing Microsoft ever made (OK, funded) was Age of Empires. Now if only they'd make another.

Anybody know if this has a gyro sensor? The gsmarena page claims so, but I don't know how reliable that is as I don't see any mention of it elsewhere. I find it a little annoying w…
