Yep. And trailing commas,

A 'saving…' or 'loading…' popup or any type of interaction preventing mask is a common UX pattern in my opinion in javascripts heavy apps. We didn't care about testing the popup at…

We invested a large amount of time in them recently, and I agree they are terrible to write. We dare not even turn on IE or any other browser, we can't even keep the tests green in…

From this story I take away: - A Sr. Marketing staff member saw technical deficiencies in the project and pulled a _complete 180°_ literally days before showtime in front of a huge…

I've been happy with 1password as well, other than two times my vault would not unlock until I restarted my computer. Making it seem like you lost access to all your passwords seem…

I think the single quotes are correct, and are whats in my history. I think they're arguments to the zmv program, which itself does the expansion and $1 substitutions. Otherwise I …

zmv is great for when doing mass renaming of files, in zshell. You can for example rename all .jade files to .pug with: autoload -U zmv # or put this line in your ~/.zshrc zmv -w '…

I'd agree that angular 2 was a letdown. Seems like most people are like me and like typescript, the cli, and a better router, but those could have been incrementally added instead …

It'd be handy if there was a page listing his comments you could point those who don't really follow what he's said to.

Chaos monkey - http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/chaos-monkey-released-in... Nope, not related.

why is it called heapq?

I use it for 'style classes' that you add to an element purely to get some styling change - for example '.pad-left' or '.text-center'. In this case you may be trying to override a …

It seems possible to add heuristics like 'the canvas element has requested more than X fonts within about Y seconds' and then treat that as a tracking script and do something like …

A downside is everyone on your team has to learn how to use it.

We've got an iPad 2 that is not useless, but much worse after upgrading to ios9. I still play Kingdom Rush games on it but its so slow now its too frustrating to use for internet b…

jQuery's api seemed innovative and quite different than the other libraries I used at the time. - css selectors to get at nodes. Very dom-focused, but without messing w/ prototypes…

It seems like you'd have to avoid having async code inside of an autorun, otherwise when it resumes `Tracker.currentComputation` could be different?

Ah, that makes sense re:same size as if you added jquery, and the API abstractions do sound better. Though as a counterpoint (and relevant to angular 2 :) I read they're going to j…

I imagine they've improved the runtime size since that stack overflow post was posted a few years ago. However I've never used dart and just tried it out using a basic html sample …

Yes Dart compiles to javascript, but it has pretty different semantics from javascript and needs to insert extra javacript to get your transpiled javascript to run. For example, no…

Dart requires loading a dart runtime js file on to the page, as far as I know. And I think they would claim Typescript is javascript + some extra stuff on top, whereas dart is a wh…
