There is no way my 94-year-old neighbor can successfully do any of that.

I got all my SO points from answering a single question on JavaFX, which I only used for about 6 months. It is not even the accepted answer (which was, and still is, incorrect).

The balls are inserted into PVC rings, which are screwed to the hub, so they can't move. (In my mind this also means that the tire is made of PVC rings and that the balls serve more as decoration, but hey)

Oh I agree, this totally would be on point for Reddit at the time. However, not only did the user-base change, Reddit did as well; Between the ads, awards, and NFTs... errr... avatars, I feel that Reddit is now a lot better off financially than it was back then (I could be totally off-base here) and so the expectation is that it should now no longer be in a situation where my specific visit to the site took down the one MySQL box in the storage closet.

The worst one to me is:

"You broke Reddit!"

Like it is my fault the site has gone down.

I got that reference!

A lot of companies (Adobe, Ross, AJA, Nikon, among others) had already pulled out of NAB before this announcement, the writing was on the wall.

Pretty brave for posting on a site that breaks the back button.

> This is still a developers' release

According to the article in The Verge [0], CEO Rony Abovitz says it is a “full-blown, working consumer-grade product.”

I am sorry, that wasn't clear; That was the goal in the specific case of my family-member. The tumors would never fully disappear, and he would likely need more treatments later on.

It sort of depends on what you define as success. The goal was never to "cure" the cancer, rather, to shrink the tumor.

I hesitate to assign an exact percentage to the effectiveness since there are so many factors to consider, but I remember Keytruda being reported to shrink tumors in less than a third of patients who took it.

Someone close passed away from lung cancer last year. He received immune therapy (keytruda), and while it may work wonders for others, it comes with drawbacks; My main issue was that it takes 4 to 5 treatments (with weeks between each treatment) before you even really know if it worked or not. This is valuable time that could be used to treat the cancer with chemo (which admittedly has way worse side effects than keytruda, but still).

Short-term consequences always win out over long-term ones.

I don't adding more spacing is the way to go. Tests and actual alerts should be different menus.

> There is actually another problem when you want to develop reusable UI component library project is that you have to inline style files and template file into ts component.

We have a webpack-based process, and using the angular2-template-loader will take care of this for you. Unfortunately, webpack and aot don't mix well.

There is support now (which is awesome!), but not when we were deciding on a framework back when Angular 2 was in beta.

Typescript. When working in a shop with a large contingent of .NET developers, having a language that somewhat resembles what they are used to is a great asset.

Has anyone had success using the AOT tools to build a package of reusable angular components? I was able to use AOT pretty easily for a stand-alone app, but keep running into issues when trying to create a shareable component, and there is not a lot of documentation around this.

Note that although I used the original title of the article, I do feel it is a little sensationalist.

Is there a way to preview components in the "Structor Market"?

They had a router package in angular 2 which had 3 as it major version number. To sync all version numbers, they decided the next version would be 4.

I am a Sonic subscriber myself, but they just resell AT&T so I am not sure how much a difference it really makes.

Cell phones are excluded from the ban, according to the article.

If impossibility was a foregone conclusion, why try it in the first place? I appluad them for doing the study in this place.

I don't think you will shake out the issues if you try it in the easiest place possible.

I understand that webcomponentsjs is a polyfill, but it is a required dependency for Polymer, and until it uses the version with the fix, the issue will be a problem. Anyway, that was just one example of many.

The integration into Angular 2 was actually fairly seamless once I added vulcanize into the build process.

No, we used Polymer in an Angular 2 app. <- Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. Yeah, the full name is Material Design for Angular 2.

Even though Material 2 is in alpha, the components we need just work better than in Polymer; They have fewer quirks, fewer bugs, and fit better into the Angular 2 ecosystem.

I have recently decided to switch from Polymer to Material2 for the following reasons:

- Polymer is only available through bower, which means I have to teach 2 package management systems to my developers.

- The documentation is not great (for instance, events are documented in camelCase, but must be listened for in Angular 2 using dashes-between-words).

- There are serious issues [0] which not gone resolved for a long time.

- The behavior of important components is not intuitive. For instance, the menu component acts more like a list which has a selected item (which also cannot be reselected)
