I agree, just recently the FBI has been warning against the use of Smart Tvs, and in the UK there have been news reports about not buying certain popular toys for Christmas as they can enable hackers to communicate with your children.

There are many ways to slice the pie, and I would offer that a better way would be to give profit percentage instead of equity.

When it comes to making decisions many employees won't care too much about the direction, and will slow down the process.

Give your employees a fair share, but keep ownership amongst the founders.

This looks great, it's good to see that Firefox is pushing new dev features, instead of playing catch-up to Chrome.

Does Replay work on the Firefox Dev build?

Yes, I couldn't get the latest version to run on Arch at all, had to use an earlier java version and it wasn't suitable for my needs.

The dark age was the best age.

We have lost the WWW since corporate interests took over from personal interest.

Small community sites are still interesting, distributed web technologies may start to rise, or there's always gophernet...

I think it's to do with the way the Wayback machine API is used and the site altering the code of the webpage (removing incompatible JS and stitching together links).

If you're on a coorporate network or have some kind of security firewall setup this could be flagged as a tampered URL.

I'm not a fan of BEM, I think it neuters one of the strongest parts of CSS

STOS?

This article does emphasise processed meat being the cause, so Bacon and Hotdogs for example, as opposed to Butcher cuts or prepared foul.

Observe don't absorb.

It's exactley what Microsoft tried to do.

Not if you were the human consciousness

Turtl, it's free, open source, and IF you want, you can self host it.

Doesn't mean the point isn't valid though.

> Imagine if Spotify offered a lower rate for Android users...

They already did, the 12.99 for premium was only for purchase through the App store.

I love using nvim as my daily editor, but one thing I get from posts like this are that the authors rarely have to develop any kind of UI themselves, this author states they work in JS, but it looks like it's backend node work.

I'd be interested to hear of any other stories from developers that use both terminal for almost everything but also have to have a web browser open for development.

The best I do is have my browser and my terminal open 50/50 on one screen, but this isn't ideal, just a compromise.

The standards are the starting point for the code, that dosen't mean that a dev shouldn't then write code to support the quirks of the browsers.

Writing to support one browser first was exactly what got everyone down in the deep hole writing code for IE only to find that it didn't work the same in Firefox and Chrome early on.

Also the Dev should be well aware that anything they write to support quirks could well be invalid code such as IE conditional comments.

If that were true then web developers would have never bothered supporting alternative browsers.

Regardless of browser matrices, it is the will of the developer to support the open web platform that made sure that Internet Explorer and thus Microsoft didn't own the web (browser) in the 2000s.

Anecdotally this point of view has done no harm to me and I'm not the only that shares it.

Sorry to break this to you, but as a web developer you should only care about standards, otherwise you have no standards.

The standards are a single source of truth for your production, if you build solely to a single browsers quirks (in this case Chrome) then those quirks can change at any time.

I haven't read your PDF yet, but I did just read 37 Signals new book, have you read it, and do you agree with any of their sentiments on remote working and managing a good life/work balance.

In one of our comments in the other thread, you state that some colleagues will log in on the weekend to get work done, how do you manage colleagues working more than they should?

This sounds like a really interesting idea, have you done this yourself or seen any good examples of it?

Just install a friendly Linux distro and relax

In my opinion, the current choices for UI/UX design on Linux are lacking.

Linux could certainly do with more designers using its platform, but they haven't had a good choice in tools.

Note: Akira isn't a Desktop UI builder, like Glade or QML Designer. This tool is for wireframes and visual designs.

It's also incredibly tiring writing programs using Electron and having half the comments you receive saying how you should have used a real programming language.

I think other programmers don't understand that many people get into front end web development because it uses other skills that writing C++ doesn't require.

Learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript doesn't mean you can pick up a systems level programming language and start writing desktop programs.

Not everyone is capable or has time to learn other programming languages, and not everyone should try either.

Electron empowered Web Developers to be able to create cross platform desktop apps in a familiar environment.

It's not about quick or cheap, it's about using what you know to explore your ideas.

Most tourism in China probably comes from within China.

Is Why's The Lucky Stiff not the thing anymore? Or was that just for Ruby...

The i and the b tag are now superfluous as the em and strong tag has taken over their semantic meaning.

This frees their use for other things.

With a Rpi over HDMI you can use your remote on most tvs if they support the CEC standard.

Titles are a means to categorise resource by HR.

Titles merely offer a bracket of salary that a resource can have, once they reach the peak they either have to go up a rank or leave to get more pay.
