chebum··on Building Cordova apps for Firefox OS
Have you released your Cordova app? Can we take a look?
chebum··on Some predict computers will produce a jobless future. Here’s why they’re wrong.
Basic income and increased progressive taxes are a good idea to solve mass unemployment. However, as proofed by recent London riots, they increase crime rates. People just have too much spare time they cannot fulfill with meaningful activities. We always want more money than we have today. The only way to increase income when there are no jobs is to take them from somebody around. Forcefully or silently.
chebum··on Why not inherit from List?
If your class users need all the methods and properties List has, you should derive your class from it. If they don't need them, enclose the List and make wrappers for methods your class users actually need.

This is a strict rule, if you write a public API, or any other code that will be used by many people. You may ignore this rule if you have a tiny app and no more than 2 developers. This will save you some time.

For tiny apps, you may also consider choosing another, less strict language. Ruby, JavaScript - anything that allows you to write less code.

chebum··on Anybody else hating web fonts lately?
To me the biggest problem is very complex websites that start downloading content after the page loads. For example, Facebook. Page loads, get displayed and only then it starts loading content, ads, navigation, etc. The second problem is super-slow scrolling. Only my new i7 laptop with 16gb of RAM can open Facebook smoothly.

Let's see how limited will we be with it. Like, will it allow us to change variable types dynamically? And what JS libraries will run on it "out-of-the-box".
chebum··on A look at Apple's R&D expenditures from 1995-2013
They build cars in many segments. Tesla build one model, while VW has 27 models (from their german website) + commercial vehicles. Also, they own several brands like Audi, Bentley and some others. Most of them has a wide model range.
