I don't have the problem on Firefox Nightly, even though the nesting is still questionnable...

Shywimon React 16

Depends what you call idiomatic. I dont think JSX is really a JavaScript idiom, more like a HTML idiom applied to JavaScript which happen to be often used together.*

At the end of the day, I think that calling something idiomatic is subjective and so, varies from people to people.

*: to be clear, my point is many people use JSX with React because it feels idiomatic (I manipulate HTML/DOM, so why not just write with HTML-like syntax?) but it is not idiomatic to JavaScript and I don't think the other React APIs are that nice to use. If I didn't use JSX with React, I'd tend to use other framework because, in my opinion, they make more sense.

Shywimon Electron: The Bad Parts

> While many people would expect Chromium to drastically slow down the performance or “consume precious RAM” I haven’t experienced any of this in practice and haven’t heard bad feedback from thousands of test users.

Well you seem to be looking only at process attached to a window, look a bit down in background tasks: see those chrome and other electron-based apps eating your RAM?

Shywimon According to Japanese Traffic Lights, Bleen Means Go

Whereas in English a rookie employee might be referred to as being “green,” in Japanese they are aonisai, meaning a “blue two-year old.”

Just wanted to point out that in french we refer to a rookie as a "bleu" (so, blue) and, as far as I know, we don't have the same history as Japan for colors.

Shywimon How to Live Without Google

Nothing is free in the world. Wikipedia is living of donations, same for most of linux distros.

Google and Facebook are living thanks to the nice value of your data and also thanks to your free contributions.

Yes, you contributed to Google Maps for free, you did get nothing for the time you spent on it, nobody know that you did this work, you get no acknowledgement except maybe an email for which the only goal is to make you do more free work.

All visitors coming to Google Maps are thanking Google for the work you've done. And after all this free hard work, you are still paying for the use of their product with your data.

Shywimon Delete Facebook Account

I can confirm they keep old data, you can get a sample when you download your data archive in your Facebook settings.

Shywimon A curated list of things related to Vue.js

There seem to be an awesome list for everything these days: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome#front-end-developmen...

Shywimon Alaska’s Permafrost Is Thawing

What should we do? What should I do? When I look through my window, nobody cares. I do waste sorting while none my neightbors care, what should I do? I don't throw waste on the street and nature while most of my compatriot don't care, what should I do? I try to use "clean" and expensive resources like eletric cars while "bad" resources are cheaper because my government keep promising to make taxes on these but don't do anything, what should I do?

Why should I waste my time trying to change the world, thinking about it when I'm just a randon civilian that have barely enough to donate to an ONG? Why should I waste my life for other people that don't care at all and enjoy theirs?

Shywimon A Farewell to Go

I would agree that go has many flaws, but the formatting and gofmt is not one. I welcome a language that enable me to not care at all about the formatting, and just focus on programming.

- Write a messy formatted code - Run gofmt - Commit

Shywimon Porting a Chrome Extension to Firefox

Because we all know here that Google's automated review is perfect both in Chrome Web Store and in Google Play Store and that their respective support (the same?) is top notch.

Shywimon So long, farewell and goodbye

Look components state here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki...

I discovered microg only recently and was instantly very interested but I am a heavy user of Cast so that's a big no for me, though I'll happily jump on it once it's done (if it's possible).

Shywimon AAC Licensors

For the "standard" consumer, saying mp3 is dead will provoke more reaction as in "OMG what will happen to muh pirated music library?", while they do not care about patents.

Shywimon Google I/O 2017

The way she said "Cool, no?!" after demonstrating this and the little silence after was half-way embarassing...

I mean, they sure DO know that this feature has been on twitch for one year now, right? It should have been a side note somewhere or an announce on a product blog, not a full blown stage demo...

Shywimon Show HN: 100M Books – Open a new tab, discover a new book

Looks cool! Any plan for Firefox? It supports WebExtensions now, though I don't know if there's binding for new tab pages.

Shywimon Show HN: React Timekeeper – Time picker based on the style of Google Keep

You get two hours rings, outer is for 1-12, inner is for 13-00.

Shywimon The woes of Windows 10

Almost all the issues you describe are not directly related with Windows though, but with OEM and third-party softwares.

Shywimon Android permissions and hypocrisy

For your "standard" app user, identity isn't a synonym of IMEI (reading that without being an Android dev, I'd just assume it mean my identity, i.e. accounts, on my phone) and most doesn't even know about IMEI.
