fleetfox··on Bundle Phobia: find the cost of adding an npm package to your bundle
Where are you from that 3G is "emerging"? I think we have like 90% LTE coverage for major providers, just a question of hardware supporting that.
fleetfox··on REST is the new SOAP
What a horrible advice, just because you are too lazy to return correct status code someone who consumes the api has to do twice the work.

fleetfox··on The Verge Tech Survey
For one that is survey of Verge users. Other thing is Windows users. I'm sure large portion of Windows users would've been fine with some Linux distro but they don't know it.
fleetfox··on Planets in Google Maps
Looks like strip of higher resolution images
fleetfox··on Calamine: Excel file reader, written in Rust
That is not how you build XML document in PHP. One of the reasons people hate PHP because it gets abused like this.

"Metal 2" Is that a new thing or just an incremental update? What is their position on Vulkan?

fleetfox··on Epistle 3
Source2 has been done for a long time. It's not published yet because they don't have it documented and figured out whole packaging and publishing process. Source: https://youtu.be/YpaNnX_9Q5s?t=1641

fleetfox··on AMD Ryzen 16 Core “Whitehaven” Enthusiast CPUs Leaked
Hmm, assuming broadwell-e IPC and same speeds Xenon counterparts run where does speculation about lower performance comes form? There is a demo where Naples is crushing E5-2699 V4
fleetfox··on Django 1.11 Released
And why would you want it? What is your use case? Making something async introduces a lot of complexity with no obvious benefit. It's also not as simple as it looks. For instance all db access in django is synchronous at the moment and changing that is not trivial since it requires swapping out whole layer.

I don't read the mailing lists but i'm not sure if it's even considered.

If you want async requests today you can take a look at channels: http://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It's "redux inspired" but doesn't actually integerate with redux?

fleetfox··on How I converted my React app to VanillaJS
"replacement" - not even close.
fleetfox··on Why Clojure? (2010)
It's not necessarily annoying but it adds cognitive load if you are trying to learn new language. I guess it's an OK sacrifice to have homoiconicity.
fleetfox··on Why Clojure? (2010)
I got book about clojure and was really trying to get into it. Some of the concepts really resonated with me but i can't get over the lisp syntax.
fleetfox··on Linux (2003)
It's not an issue of familiarity or stability for me. I've been using Windows more or less daily since Win98. I'm more frustrated about not beeing able to fix it in sane way when things go wrong. I'm able to patch and compile kernel, but i'm unable to fix Windows update. It does not make any sense to me.
fleetfox··on Rust vs C Pitfalls
I'm learning Rust. I considered Go but feature wise compared to Rust it seems really boring and plain. IMHO modern language has to have functional flavor.
