This looks nice. I'm really tied to using creationix nvm at the moment and it seems like these two libraries would be competing for control over how to manage node/npm. There's no GUI on nvm though, so if this tool can handle installing multiple different versions of node/npm then maybe it is a better alternative.
I think it's possible that the disconnect between how the Google Cloud team describes what happened and the reality for users can be attributed to the fact that they are just one team in control of one aspect of the entire system. From their standpoint, taking into account their responsibilities, maybe it did go as smoothly they say. A similar post from Niantic would be very interesting.
I wish I could somehow flag or block people who make such false comments disguised as fact. Less than 30 seconds looking into Vulkan would have told anyone almost the opposite if what you came up with.
It seems weird to me that in this day and age people would be making negative comments about an app with this one's functionality being written in JavaScript/ecmascript. This app looks awesome and performs well on my platform, not sure if I'll continue to use it over the CLI client but so far I'm impressed.
I feel this is the issue with Uber, the price doesn't take into account the destination and probability of finding a return route customer. For example, I've talked with lyft drivers in Seattle who have picked up people in downtown who then say their destination is Tacoma or even Olympia (which can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours depending on traffic). That's 1 to 2 hours away from anywhere the driver normally operates, and with very little chance of finding a fare for the return drive. It would be fair if the fare was adjusted to take into account these important variations.
"At this point, it’s pretty clear that ad blocking is a big deal. A recent study suggesting the advertising industry is set to lose over $22 billion in 2015 alone as a result of ad blockers is setting off alarm bells. That is a LOT of money."
This line of thinking makes me livid. They aren't losing money if they never were entitled to it in the first place. Get used to seeing my adblock, and if you or anyone else is interested in getting any money from me, then your only hope is to focus your efforts on coming up with an awesome product.
While we're at it, let's go ahead and put religion on top of a solid scientific foundation! I mean politics and religion are so similar, if we figure one out then we're bound to be able to apply what we've learned from the process to the other.
Pie charts have merit, especially when used in a dynamic dashboard that changes based on either selection, filtering, or the passage of time. They may be over used, but they are not without merit entirely.
This reminds me of Streetpass on the 3DS, one of my favorite featueres of that Nintendo handheld. This opens up all sorts of awesome possibilities for mobile games if it works as Streetpass currently works.
I don't like how I still show up on linkedin to other people in spite of the fact that I deleted my account (to the best of anyone's ability) years ago.
It's worth mentioning that this was not an issue the author even brought up, I assume since React doesn't claim to handle any of these other concerns in an application. Saying React doesn't handle these functions is like complaining about a screwdriver not being able to hammer a nail very well.
The top address that appears in the dropdown list when I type 'news' is this site. Other hits show up, but the vast majority are related to something 'new' instead.
I used to be a serious news junky, keeping track of everything that happened related to politics or the latest war. I'd even research what was happening regarding local politics in the place I was traveling to just in case the topic came up while I was with some people from that area. I monitored RSS feeds from various news outlets and blogs from others who also watched the news, and over time it became impossible for me to keep up with it.
After that point of realization (that it was impossible for me to keep up with all this information), I then realized that it really didn't matter anyway! The world did not end, my favored side didn't win any less and my most hated side didn't win any more... I just had more time to focus on things that really mattered to me. I probably now have a better state of well-being on top of it all.
Seeing the differences between how this performs in chromium vs firefox is a little annoying... it's one thing that chromium still does much better, for the time being I hope.
So far he hasn't been way off the mark from what I can see, although that isn't stopping people from aiming their pitchforks at him. I guess they don't want him to be right or something?
If this works as advertised, this is awesome. I've always used TODOs in my projects, and haven't always used github due to employer constraints. Now I won't have to put so much effort into keeping track of open tasks.
Edit: I should say that openbazaar hasn't been released, and very little work has gone into allowing for anonymous nodes on the market. The idea is that once openbazaar is released then people can apply Tor anonymity to connecting their market node to the database of all nodes where things are available for purchase.
This is an interesting study into how Reddit works, but I have to say that I'm fine with the fact that Reddit is neither a meritocracy or democracy when it comes to how posts make it to the front page. I'd rather not see any more funny or aww posts on the front page than are already there (I can go to their subreddits directly when I want to).
In fact, I'd rather see a variety of posts from subreddits I don't usually go to or usually follow. I want to see thing I don't already follow. Most posts I end up liking are ones I find in the subreddits I visit. I'd like my front page to give me posts from other unsubscribed subreddits so that I may end up expanding which subreddits I'm subscribed to.
I've always assumed there was no doubt Reddit moved their own posts up to the top in some unmeritocratic, undemocratic way... it serves the same function of sticky threads on phpbb (and other) forums. The massive amount of votes on these posts would happen after being moved to the top as a form of self fulfilling prophecy... people are interested in what Reddit (the org) is doing to improve Reddit (the site).
I'm liking how there are new projects popping up who all implement the flux pattern, but do so in different ways. I haven't looked into how this differs from something like fluxxor, but the example looks simple and easy to use. My one grip with the jsfiddle is a nitpicky one: that the McFly object is being given the Flux name... that could be confusing for people who are looking at this and also using the flux library from facebook (which has a different API).
Ahh, real time news! Yes I think that is the one biggest positive feature of twitter. When I was trying to remember some positive things about Twitter to respond to this with, I failed to remember this one due to all the other not-as-positive things Twitter is used for.
Thanks for posting this, I have had the same unpopular opinion since Twitter first appeared. While I don't necessarily think that Twitter should go away, I do think it should get out of the way of other methods for communication. There are much better forms of communication for many circumstances where communication is needed. Which is damn near everything aside from communicating with marketers and expressing witty one-liners to the world.
EDIT: I forgot about one great thing about twitter that I normally don't think about (since all the other uses cloud this function for me): real-time news. There's not many tools out there that can handle this type of functionality better. Reddit serves the same purpose for many people and does so in an even better way in my opinion (no character limit, communities focused on a topic, etc.).
It may be circumstantial, but the OP has the same name as the github user who posted the issue and was shot down. Same person? Without more info who knows (or cares). I can't remember the last time I saw a post on HN that was so pointless.
