solidr53··on Build your own hackable automated cat feeder for $20
Thank god, this guy should not be teaching anybody, anything.

Here is a nice article about dev board comparisons.

http://frightanic.com/iot/comparison-of-esp8266-nodemcu-deve...

wemos has a smaller form factor, but lacks breakout, has the ch34 and is headless so maybe not suitable for beginners like i think of the nodemcu.

edit: also I'd like to add that the nodemcu and sparkfun thing already have a esp32 upgrade available where the wemos has not.

But hey, just my opinion.

solidr53··on Build your own hackable automated cat feeder for $20
Again, personal preference. I like the nodemcu better. Then there is sparkfun thing, adafruit huzzah, wio with groove, etc.

You'll want one of the boards listed on this webpage: http://esp32.net

$3 or $15 really doesn't matter here.

Please recommend the real product (ESP8266) so the guy can choose a dev board, they are plenty, all with different options.

And for those who dont know ESP32 came out erlier this year and has much better specs, power consumption, Bluetooth, etc. You'll want that.

solidr53··on NASA's First Standard Spacecraft Computer (1984)
I highly recommend this documentary: https://youtu.be/9YA7X5we8ng

This youtube channel has more great NASA documentaries as well.

What is a correctly enough SSR? We use react in most of our projects with server side rendering without any problems at all.

solidr53··on The XSS Game by Google
I just used the industry standard protocol format in the level 6: `#//xxx.ngrok.io/foo.js`. I thought it was hilarious that they didn't filter that out.

they wont display what the javascript code tells them to display, but rather fallback to a <div /> mode.

solidr53··on RethinkDB is shutting down
Their chance of surviving would have increased dramatically if users could install rethinkdb as addon on Heroku.

Availability as a service was an issue, the compose deal did not work well for me, as my stuff was hosted on heroku.

Anyway, rethinkdb is probably the most awesome database I've tried.

solidr53··on Pixel smartphone camera review: At the top
DxOMark certainly disagrees with you if you're talking stats. In the real world maybe, but then again, my Sony phone takes very good pictures.

You choose: a OIS bump in your phone or no OIS bump in your phone.

The later has a better dxomark.

solidr53··on The State of JavaScript – Survey results
I used Jest early on, it was nice, but I quickly started to encounter problems related to how new it was. It's way better now, so maybe I will switch back to Jest from enzyme.

solidr53··on Why I'm Not a React Native Developer
Wow, hold on guys. This enterprise dude thinks all the tooling around the RN ecosystem is very confusing. Angular 2 must be better then.
solidr53··on Why I'm Not a React Native Developer
"What if you forget to put break in-between your cases in a switch statement. They will leak."

This man, my friend, is an idiot.

solidr53··on The math of CSS locks
Not true. Read about reflow or layout trashing.

Paul Irish has pretty complete list of what triggers repaint here: https://gist.github.com/paulirish/5d52fb081b3570c81e3a

I was surprised to find out that the torrent fetching part of the prototype didn't happen in the service worker . Which is obviously the most cool place for it.

solidr53··on Mancy: JavaScript REPL
What kind of javascript engine is on this REPL? I tried some ES6 stuff with random success. For example arrow functions work while deconstructing doesn't.
solidr53··on Introducing Shadow DOM API
Inbox is NOT using Polymer in any way. But the reason why it's so resource heavy is because of it's huge DOM Tree.

Web Components to the rescue!

solidr53··on Introducing Shadow DOM API
One-hundred Shadow DOM Elements, each with 10 DOM elements and 10 CSS selectors.

vs

One-thousand `regular` DOM Elements with 1000 CSS selectors.

It's a simple math. 10 times faster.

solidr53··on Introducing Shadow DOM API
Polymer dude here. Some points:

- What's wrong with vulcanize (combines all your components into one single html file)?

- Polymer now offers Shared styles, so that you don't have to duplicate your css. And you can use BEM or what ever you like.

- Get ready for HTTP2 in a few years.
