I genuinely have no idea what the government is doing but I hope people such as yourself get some answers soon. I am feeling some of the limbo myself as my EU Bosses living in UK hire me.

I wish we could get rid of the whole rancid bunch of politicians, and hire some company to take care of it all with dignity.

Is not-for-profit not superflous on a government body supplying 50% of it's income? Who pays for the 6 figure board salaries? Is that from the profit part, or me the tax payer?

Just seems a bit stretched. never-gonna-profit

So they profit, take their money, then they are not-for-profit.

I also don't get this point (I am not the brightest bulb :D)

In Typescript anyway, `const` means I am not allowed to reassign. Attempting to change it just will cause compiler warnings. If you mean that, ignore Typescript and tooling, and that once the code is in the browser executing, then consts can be changed.... Who cares about that?

I always use `const` unless i can't otherwise `let`. There is no place for `var` although everyone has an opinion this has always worked for me.

Thank you for your insight.

Please also check http://fl.corge.net/ because it contains outrageous amounts of outstanding code.

Not entirely true. The Flash Runtime was ES4. Few who made applications after 2006 used Flash Pro. It was an Eclipse based editor for the most part (Flash Builder).

However I get the point, but I feel it is important to stress this difference that you bring up.

My 18 year old clueless self seen turtleshell.com randomly, thought it was amazing, looked up flash, did stuff in Flash, 10 years later OOP. 10 years after that, software engineering.

My 18 year old clueless self today would want to be like "somethingcool.com" but I would have to troll through about 12 months of tutorials to see something on the screen.

I'd work in a factory.

This is really great! I love "toys" like this on the web, they were prominent in Flash, but then the web looked like bootstrap, and now like Material Design... Sometimes, a little bit of web creativity is what you need to brighten the day.

Is it possible where cameras simply become so good on devices, that the next hollywood blockbuster is filmed on an iphone?

I know that is ridiculous, but I remember a "1mp" camera was advertised everywhere as a thing for a phone to have. It wasn't that long ago really.

Let's say your 2040 Iphone captures 4000mp of the entire visible scene. Then you have some special software that unicorns everything into amazing sauce.

I know this is all pretty whimsical, but none the less, I feel that the path we are going down is one that Nikon and Canon can't finish.

The thing I can't stand (rage) is when you see something interesting, then have to trawl through dick jokes, and dank memes.... to find an actual real topic answer to a redditor's interesting question. It winds me up no end!

This is how I knew I was getting old.

At Uni, I smoked and I would select smokes over food or rent any day. I guess not having a job wouldn't make me feel any different.

What good is a tin of beans compared to killing the craving for a smoke for an hour? No contest.

I love TypeScript! Forgive my ignorance but what purpose does WebAssembly have in this context? I assumed that stuff like ASM was really for other non-native applications. Say for example a C++ game which then can run in the browser or stuff like that.

So as a TypeScript guy with AssemblyScript at my fingertips, what doors does that open for me?

I occasionally have to make HTML5 games in Canvas. Is this the kind of path where WebAssembly could be beneficial?

One day will there simply be an end build step to turn everything into web assembly or is it never intended for use with the DOM?

Was that around windows 95?

Wow is that really what is being discussed?

I don't use my work email for personal use, but what kind of company would fire me for "Alright love, you want a pizza when I am on my way back?".

What is next? "Excuse me Sir, Excuse me Sir, Can I go to the toilet please?" Fuck working for a place like that. Leave your dignity at the door.

4 :P

I really tried with Polymer (for the last few months) but it was particularly verbose.

I remember implementing an "<iron-ajax>" tag, and thinking that this is so wild and "Out There" that I may simply never understand.

Annoyingly, there is a whole "Hybrid" mode as well. So there is no distinction between V1 and V2. If you are confused,you go to the docs, they aren't giving you what you need, so you go to one of the sample elements, and it is written in V1. So you have to read the migration guide to translate what is actually happening....

Then Polymer Summit happens, and now it is all JS based which, is far better for me but now it seems pointless to stay on Polymer 2.0, and Polymer 3 is a preview with no docs...

So I aborted this path, went to Angular and to be honest, it is beautiful. It is almost trivial compared to the bag of questions and confusion I had going on with Polymer.

I do look forward to going back there though when 3.0 is available.

I know nothing about US politics, but I feel like John McCain has spent his career trying to either ban things or remove free speech. He keeps popping up in some of the books I read, the most recent he was trying to ban Voilent Video Games (Doom).

I have! I really have! My friend spends all his money on audio. I sadly just don't understand. You are correct. I was going to say that he pays infinite money for what to me is a 10% increase in enjoyment, but perhaps for you and him, your brain is better with sound, and you guys might get a 1000% improvement for your dollar.

Although in any case, nothing justifies the pricetag dished out to audio enthusiasts.

The sad thing is that I wouldn't be surprised. Then they can show you the same 3 minute buildup after the break in case you forgot.

I don't think so. Is that not 90% of Kick starters purpose?

The video is very sad. I feel the news in the UK is way way way too soft. All citizens should see the real cost of war. It is so easy to just be ignorant. "oh that, yawn". If people aren't shown it, how can they ever judge (with a vote at the ballot box) to be for or against it.

I really don't know much about wasm.

I just wondered though, from a birds eye view, does using wasm effectively give you control of everything within the "frame" of your browser?

Can I get rid of the DOM(boilerplate aside), get rid of CSS?

For example HTMLCanvasElement is a flat surface. I can do what I want within it as a scene graph renderer.

Could I do that with wasm? Could I invent my own 2D entities (x, y, width, height). My own 2D Constraints resize like Apple Devices etc?

Let them disagree, I won't be working there anyway so it isn't a concern.

As far as I am concerned the Office is dead, open or not in the tech field. I mean an office which you travel to, and work all day. No way am I going back to that for less than another 70k a year on top. It isn't 1930.

And also, why is this even a thing? Why doesn't everyone setup a business in the Cayman islands?

I did the same thing on first read. Why did that happen?

You would have more enjoyment and learn more from talking to the wall than participating on any realistic reddit discussion.

It isn't alright under any circumstance. Given that my music is 99% black artists and I am white, the race card is ill placed here. I firmly believe that all adults should make their own choices. It is bad enough with government telling you what you can and cannot do, without self proclaimed goody two shoe companies declaring a PC line and imposing additional limits.

I was pretty embarrassed by it all to be honest. Nothing makes me cringe more than everyone responding ultra PC. It is bad enough with the commoners, but it is a disgrace when companies get involved with PC statements for no other real reason than to favor the brand.

I may be the same as you only I was a 90s rap kid, the entire directory of music I have collected since the 00s could be considered violent and hateful.
