Egidiuson China's Art Factories: Van Gogh from the Sweatshop (2006)

Reminds me of China's van Goghs: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6013920/ (2016)

Awesome documentary

Egidiuson Code together in real time with Teletype for Atom

I was just noticing the same, looking at my HN feed. It's higly remarkable, to say the least.

aha... right :D

I never implied that W3C Schools is related to W3C. But I do agree with you: that's bad. But for me that's a public secret. I don't think that's the main reason why I dislike W3C schools, though. My problem with W3C Schools is that they are not the right away to learn web development in a proper way: https://www.impressivewebs.com/w3schools-ugly-bad-good/. MDN holds a far greater standard on a whole lot of aspects: following exact W3C specs, being up to date, design, just to name a few obvious ones.

Egidiuson Documenting the Web together

Representation? You've got an app for that ;-)

Egidiuson Documenting the Web together

For me, as an experienced front-end-focussed developer, MDN has been my go-to website for quick spec references. MDN has all I need to know, and I know my way around. However, I've been in teams where the less-experienced developers went to W3C Schools to see how they should implement some feature. And to be honest, I cannot completely blame them. W3C Schools shows directly what you need to know and how the API you are discovering works. This is mainly because of the playground with possible implementations on top of every specification page. I hope MDN can make their site more appealing for less experience developers without cutting in on the feature-completeness.

Egidiuson Colony: A platform for open organizations

I'm keeping my eye on Colony's progress for a while now. I cannot wait to get involved.

I see a lot of similarities with https://dogezer.com/

Colony seems better though in terms of design from what I can judge right now.

Egidiuson Show HN: Clean Code JavaScript

I'm a big fan of Robert C. Martin's Clean Code principles.

There should be some kind of ESLint preset that enforces these principles where possible?

Egidiuson React-MD – React components built with Sass

I'm pretty sure I don't want to go down that road for an application that's meant to go into production (some day). It's possible to use Polymer elements in react. There's even a npm package[1] for it, but merely by looking at the activity of the package I'd already choose not to use this for a production application other than my own. Furthermore: I've tried Polymer and it offers its own data-binding implementation. I don't want to have multiple UI layers and two ways of data-binding. That's just asking for trouble.

Egidiuson React-MD – React components built with Sass

Even though I'm not completely satisfied with its state, I've recently picked Material UI over React Toolbox. Too bad React-MD wasn't around at the time because it seems like a fierce competitor at first glance.

Things I like about React MD over Material UI: * Fully tested * Separation of styles * Grid included

On a sidenote: the page's styling messes up during loading. It takes one second before it morphs into the actual state.

Egidiuson Ask HN: Is jQuery still a thing?

I haven't touched jQuery in over 2 years. It's not necessary anymore as the browsers I support are following standards. Even though the syntax is a little bit nicer than vanilla js I don't see any real advantage in using jQuery anymore. jQuery did a lot for the web (it pushed browsers to keeping standards and it brought native implementations like querySelector), but I think the time has come to move on.

Egidiuson Facebook React.js License

I agree. I was working at a somewhat large IT company (~30k employees) this year. I made a plea for React and while our development section agreed, it got bounced by legal because of these points.

If Facebook is really serious about Open Source, they also have to make their licence so that every organisation is free to use it.

Egidiuson Sublime Text 3 Build 3124

The CPU load was only for a short period. When ST3 indexed my project (which is quite large) everything was fine again

Egidiuson Return of incandescent light bulbs as MIT makes them more efficient than LEDs

I'm suprised noone brought this documentary up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1j0XDGIsUg

Egidiuson FbStart – A new program designed to help early stage mobile startups

Kind of ironic that the iPhone in the background header has Google+ visibly installed, but it doesn't show a Facebook icon

Egidiuson Show HN: Stellar Jackpot

Is there any way I can get str's by buying them somehow? It seems like I'm a bit too late with registrating my Stellar account

Egidiuson Google timer

Maximum appears to be one day. Yet this works anyway:
