Razer looks like exactly what I was looking for, I guess I could settle for a 14" screen. TBH I forgot about them.

I didn't see any Dell, System76, Asus or HP laptops that were all metal and on par with a MacBook, only an Asus netbook.

I was thinking of doing a kickstarter for a single run of aluminum laptops when I need a new machine.

It bugs the hell out of me that I can't buy a non-apple metal computer.

I didn't enjoy working part time only because I felt like I fell out of the loop.

I'd come to work and a bunch of stuff was already done, etc.

So I'd say, try and make sure that you don't get so caught up in new stuff that you're no longer productive with old stuff. That can also be very frustrating.

If he's calling the people who work on WordPress engineers he could probably plead ignorance.

You can't use JSP to make a SPA, either. I was replying to the statement "Angular is for n00bz"

Could've sanatized the input before saving it to the database :p

No, I wrote it on my phone and didn't double check the angular example. I noticed another little mistake so I'll edit it

How do you mean, "templates for non-programmers"?

I see Angular's directives as a pure convenience compared to most every templating engine I've used across languages, never considered it something that makes it accessible to non-programmers. I'd actually think someone who only knows html/css would be more thrown off from a page with random, unsanctioned (by W3C), tags and attributes that may or may not reveal what they actually do.

As a programmer I don't want to write long templates, I seriously prefer Jade/Pug for that reason. When I can't use them for a client I typically use them to do all initial work, compile them to HTML, then make whatever minor changes from there.

Consider ng-for:

  <div data-ng-for="y in x">
    <h1>{{y.title}}</h1>
  </div>

The ASP.Net solution is a pain, a function with HTML string template to dynamically add elements to a "runat" div.

This PHP example seems more idiomatic, at least to me, yet takes more to write

  <?php foreach($x as $y){ ?>
    <h1> <? echo $y->title; ?> </h1>
  <? } ?>

The JSP style is kinda similar to Angular, again maybe more idiomatic at first glance but still not as quick/simple to write

  <c:forEach items="${x}" var="y">
    <h1>${y.title}</h1>
  </c:forEach>

The jQuery/plain JS solution, especially before ES6 is not preferable by any means, especially beyond this simple example.

  var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];

  [...].map(function(y){
  body.innerHTML += 
    "<div>"+
     "<h1>"+y.title+"</h1>"+
    "</div>";
  });

Unlike all the other solutions, angular has 2 way data binding so when you programmatically add elements to the array in ng-for, they are added to the DOM without a reload.

So, is the goal of a programmer to simply write more code? If so, then Angular is definitely not for programmers.

Is the goal of a programmer to solve problems? If so, Angular is definitely a tool for programmers.

Is there an option to avoid it from an end user's perspective? It's made google news so frustrating for me, it will go back a page in history or slide to the next story for no reason whatsoever. I have a Nexus 6P, use Chrome so there's no reason for it to act like that other than just being shitty.

I kinda just stopped reading Google news rather than try to fix it (:

Good point. I don't think many countries have Freedom of Information Act requests and whatnot.

Isn't the argument against copyrights very similar, if not the same, to the argument for the state to own historic artifacts?

I'd argue that the state should own historic artifacts so that they can be held in common. That way no one individual can claim ownership, retain the right to destroy it if they wish, and prevent others from viewing/studying it.

Of course the state isn't going to let me or you handle it, but they'll obviously give access to research institutions and whatnot who will publish their findings. Hobby Lobby dude might not do the same and as a private owner, he retains the right not to.

I second that. I was able to go from the tutorial to building a couple of small apps on my own, painlessly.

Super nice IMO

Looks really cool, I wish Unity's UI builder was as intuitive.

Is there anything that comes close to this in scope/quality for any other platform?

I guess that's true, I'm just a fancyite. Gotta have that sushi delivered to me, etc

That's true, but what do you do for a living? I think it'd be significantly harder to find a job as a developer in the middle of nowhere, it's even hard to find an interesting job in the suburbs IME.

That's pretty crazy. Politics aside, she should definitely be indicted. They arrest us hackers for much much less.

So HATEOS is a requirement of REST? I've been calling my JSON apis RESTful all this time like a fool.

Guess they're simply JSON apis. I don't really care to parse XML so I guess I won't be getting any REST from my apps.

Funnily enough I was trying to pick up React with my time off but I just couldn't make it do the thing. Next day, off narcotics, it was a breeze lol.

How was going to work on the oxy? I had surgery a few months ago and stopped taking them after 2 days because I couldn't focus (or really think clearly) after taking a dose.

I agree, I can't use 1920x1080 or lower. Plugging my MacBook into a TV is horrible for anything but watching TV from a distance.

I think 2560x1440 is probably the ideal resolution for the time being, looks good enough, no need for a graphics card, cheap monitors, etc.

>However, as cool as this is, it's just another way to "scrape"

Isn't that the point? The demo seems like it'd be a lot easier, less verbose, and probably less brittle, than using cUrl/xpaths or otherwise parsing that HTML yourself.

What makes you say that?
