uitgewis··on Designing Google Maps for Motorbikes
There's a common belief among motorcyclists that having loud exhausts help alert other car drivers of their presence, making them more visible on the roads. There are various arguments in favor and against that notion, but if it's getting you to notice them I guess it is better than nothing.
uitgewis··on React Native: A retrospective from the mobile-engineering team at Udacity
It's ironic you should mention apps like Facebook and Instagram[1]. They use React Native.

Not to discredit, but that's a lot less significant.

You could potentially use the validation rules, and set a min length of 1.
uitgewis··on I Fell 15,000 Feet and Lived

FNB also does OTP within their own mobile app.
uitgewis··on Root – Programmable bank account for software developers
From what I know the banking infrastructure are quite uniquely suited to each.

Not a whole lot more than they are at the moment.
uitgewis··on Angular 4.0.0 Now Available

uitgewis··on “Emoji composer is now at 100% on Twitter”
I'm imagining a product owner and a bunch other stake holders sitting in a meeting room adding a bunch of keywords to each emoji. Or just copying a list from somewhere on the Internet and filtering it (my bet would be on this).
uitgewis··on Returning to Linux, not impressed
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not...

Found a paper linked to by the same person: https://peerj.com/preprints/1733/
uitgewis··on A/B testing the gnupg developers. Submitting patches as female and male pseudonyms
Any substance to this, other than a couple of tweets?
uitgewis··on Let’s Stop Bashing C

uitgewis··on Show HN: Are you trackable? An irrevocable persistent browser cookie
You do realise that responsive design is mainly done with CSS, right?
uitgewis··on GitLab Master Plan
Anyone know why GitLab insists on "Merge Requests", while BitBucket, Github & others have "Pull Requests"?
uitgewis··on Plottable.js – Flexible, interactive charts for the web
Possibly method overloading in the type signature. If `enabled` is supplied the return is `this`, otherwise `any`.
uitgewis··on Plottable.js – Flexible, interactive charts for the web
I would honestly say that D3.js is the most flexible and powerful charting library I've ever used.
uitgewis··on Looking ahead for WhatsApp
There is no such option in the iPhone app (2.16.9 / 15 Aug 2016).
uitgewis··on Looking ahead for WhatsApp
Is there any way to keep WhatsApp and Facebook separate? It seems that either a) I use WhatsApp and have Facebook collect my data, or b) don't use WhatsApp.

There seems to be a complete lack of choice with what they do with my data.

uitgewis··on Parameter or Argument?
It takes an argument and you pass it a parameter.
