jdesjean··on A clip from Stray got me banned from Twitter
Why is the consequence account suspension? We know the value these accounts can have and that moderators do not always get it right. Unless, the user has a history of bad behavior, the consequence should be flagging and hiding the content before warning the user. LinkedIn is one of the social media with a more sensible policy by following the latter.
jdesjean··on Exploring Flutter for Cross-Platform Mobile Development
I don't know how good it is, but there is a company called RemObjects Elements http://www.elementscompiler.com/elements/ which cross compile Windows (.NET), Android (Java), iOS (Object C / Swift), Linux/Android (C++).
jdesjean··on Cancelable Promises: Why was this proposal withdrawn?
The way to handle this case is to use Promise.race with 2 promises. The first promise is your logic. The second promise is rejected after a timeout. For more detail read the section "never calling the callback" from "you don't know js" book on "async" in chapter 3 https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/async...
jdesjean··on Google Shows Off its Tablet Concept
Have you considered some of the good ideas of Robert Clayton Miller (watch the video http://10gui.com/video/)?

I particularly like how you can switch from one application to another by scrolling horizontally and then resizing the window's width as you need. Furthermore, the additional gestures with 3 and 4 fingers provide additional information bandwidth.

These ideas might solve some of the problems others in this thread have been pointing out.
