This ux/navigation implementation is inspiring esp for mobile safari web browser. Intuitive and responsive, kudos to the devs

Thank you, exactly what I’m looking for right now

Web3 will fix it

But the line will be clearer.

I get the sense you and I would work very well together

I keep an eye on the annual Barrett-Jackson classic car auction (starts this week) to gauge things. Values got pretty stupid just before the crash in 2008 https://www.barrett-jackson.com/

Do you have a link where Jung said his theories are wrong?

I wish I had seen that

80% of the plastic comes from just 10 rivers (there is a link on here somewhere) maybe focus on stopping it before it gets to the ocean

javascrip is an amazing language- get over yourselves

I absolutely love my 5s mostly for the form factor - will be a sad day when it finally dies

I'm with you. They will always be the 'San Diego Chargers' to me

I'm disappointed this isn't drawing more attention in the community. This guy is going to jail for 15 months for trying to address a serious problem in our industry and Microsoft is sicking their lawyers on him to try and prove a point. Fuck you MS. This only reinforces my resolve to avoid using or buying your products whenever possible.

This echo's some thoughts I've had about application development lately especially wrt TDD.

My preferred style of app. development is much more about exploring what is possible and what works as opposed to implementing a fully fledged concept of the finished application.

I find the application begins to take on it's finished state only after I have had time to explore new ideas and techniques that I don't necessarily understand completely when I begin.

TDD seems to be tailored towards the architectural / fully conceptualized application whereas the gardening metaphor seems more appropriate for the way I tend to approach app development. I find it counter-productive to try to write tests for code before I even figure out what it will do yet. YMMV.

Thanks again Brian.

I'm fine with a tether. I just want something simple that plugs into an HDMI or thunderbolt port and projects my laptop screen into the headset

Does anyone have a good resource covering Headset Hardware reviews and specs?

I researched this recently looking for an HDMI compatible AR headset to try command line coding with but it was tough to find concise feature/spec/price comparisons.

Sign of the times I guess.

Thank you for having the confidence to post and informed opinion from a lawyer perspective.*

I certainly appreciate the input.

*I recognize you are not acting as this person's lawyer :-)

I was evaluating designs from a potential commercial opportunity perspective so keeping things non-invasive was considered a constraint for ease of use and to avoid warranty/liability risk.

I dabbled in designing a cooler/freezer monitoring setup for a local farmer not too long ago.

The 2 biggest constraints I found were power and communication from within the freezer.

One promising approach was - a BLE enabled temp. sensor beacon with a coin lion battery - a nearby externally mounted unit (RaspberryPi) plugged into a wall socket as a relay - a small central 'black box' SSD/Wifi/router ground-station to collect, store and push the data to the internet

The biggest question was whether the beacon signal could get through the freezer walls. If not then I was going to look into the idea of some super flat cable to enable a wired sensor connection without compromising the freezer seal (like a meat thermometer in an oven)

I worked at a node.js startup Strongloop before it was purchased by IBM (https://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/47577.wss)

We were primarily a remote work company as part of the DNA - it was great and productive.

We were small and mostly senior technical folks so the level of trust was pretty high.

People were located in the Czech republic, the Netherlands, Vancouver, Minnesota, China, and Cali.

Best work experience I have had by far.

ha the Dick and Bob bit is pretty darn funny

"developers who know nothing about computing history"

I guess it depends on what time scale you are using to define computing history. JavaScript hasn't been 'new' for a long time.

I've been a web programmer for about 20yrs and have used ASP, ColdFusion, Java, C#, PHP, and JavaScript professionally and for me it is the language I enjoy using/writing the most. It continually surprises with new and more powerful innovations and implementations: from the early days of DHTML to AJAX, closures, Node, React, Tessel, etc.

I'm curious as to what more would have to be done with the language for it to graduate to 'real' language status.

Heck even NASA thinks it's good enough: https://vimeo.com/168064722

After all this time it's still interesting to see how much hate there is out there for JavaScript even though it has proven itself a more that capable language across multiple platforms.

it's my understanding something like Redis is good for cross cluster im-memory persistence/reference

Thank you for the encouragement and kind words. (feel free to up vote it fwiw)

I'm hoping to keep it as lightweight/simple as possible (node/socket) and try out some Progressive Web principles (https://addyosmani.com/blog/getting-started-with-progressive...)

Great question.

- start small (see below) - provide valuable information to a target market where there was none before - minimize participation friction by not abusing users with invasive TOS or advertising - ensuring there is a valuable service at the core of the platform for free (promote sticky-ness)

Our plan is to focus on one local region (Vancouver/BC) and one crop (beer hops) this year to 'prime the pump' and grow from there.

The craft beer scene is in a hyper-growth mode in British Columbia (a bit behind Washington and Oregon) and the demand for local ingredients (beer hops) far outstrips the current local supply. Consequently hops are becoming a hot new crop. Thing is there is no established 'market space' for brewers and hop farmers to meet; its pretty ad hoc.

We're aiming to provide a platform for this year's harvest as a way to vet the idea / platform.

From there we hope to work into the Pacific North West and across Canada and stretch out into other kinds of locally grown produce.

as someone with a similar history (front-end dev) I switched from Windows to linux after XP and then on to OSX in order to develop for iOS apps.

I would never go back to windows but would happily move back to linux if I had to

EDIT: I should note I didn't expect to like my Macbook air so much (fantastic machine)
