    We don't know if it's Gandalf. It's only speculation. He mimics Gandalf-isms from the movies (cupping a bug and talking to it), and generally looks like him. It could easily be mis…

    I'm talking about running week or month long tests with control and multi test cells containing new functionality, configuration, or code to determine the viability of a single or …

    Have to disagree. I've found plenty of issues that affect real production users through the use of AB testing. Problems that were small enough to escape review, testing, and report…

    Our product is used by all sorts of devices and resources. Many use it on super old hardware in different countries. 32kb isn't much, but when you're analyzing Time To Render metri…

    We found it to be about 32kb gzip+minified in our builds. I just dropped it from one of our apps, where it wasn't even used except in a legacy logging module. We replaced the ajax …

    Totally agreed for mobile websites, with the exception for PWAs and mobile sites that rely on specific view ports being unchanged, like games for instance. With no scrollbars it's …

    When you say server-class, do you mean for desktops? Thought I just read recently that Apple is ending Mac OS server.

    Do you think Douglass Crockford didn't know that? He was being cheeky and doesn't care. This was also a huge pain point for JSHint and a lot of work went into undoing that by findi…

    Wearing a Pebble Time right now. Works and looks great, but not 100% even with Rebble. Shame the company failed, the product was perfect for Android users.

    Open to how you'd solve it. Fill up the overfilled jails and hospitals? Can't force people unless it's a 5150. You literally cannot stop what is happening without going full milita…

    Maybe you didn't venture out much, but you should realize that is _mostly_ exclusive to market street. One street of a thousand. Yes it occasionally happens elsewhere like any city…

    Good features for the price, decent pickup speed, gears are smooth, heated leather seats, interesting features like headlight wipers and night panel. Fun to drive and look great. T…

    At least a decade if not longer. Video streaming doesn't work without it, even if it is unreliable.

    This is a virtual domain implementation, like React, not interacting with the actual DOM like the demo in the OP. WASM is awesome, but seems like folks don't really understand it a…

    Hi floodfx, we should chat at some point if you're on slack/discord/etc. I'm building something extremely similar and there's potential opportunity to share some code/learnings. Pe…

    Definitely, HTML has several tags to help work with external types. You can interface with java, vbscript, flash, pdf, etc. You could absolutely expose top level methods and invoke…

    That makes no sense. Roku was born out of Netflix. Why would they buy them now after making the decision years ago not to entire the consumer hardware market?

    Keep in mind `this` is not scoped to arrow functions. So even if the syntax was added the way you proposed, this code wouldn't work or make sense.

    If you did something wrong more than once and gave the same apology that statement would make total sense. The first time though is unfair and kind of selfish minded.

    Why do some devs spell JavaScript and TypeScript with the incorrect casing? Not worth their time? Toy languages that aren't to be respected? Not like the rest of the post was riddl…
