Basically, whaaaa...?

I can think of a couple of reasons why Amazon might be interested in VR, from displaying 3D views of their products to constructing a virtual mall for browsing.

What’s in a name?

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Our team moved from hyperscript to JSX as well.

Personally, I find JSX much more readable, and there was little love for hyperscript on the team.

That browsers can do this sort of things still feels like magic to me.

I remember when just getting a DOM element to animate smoothly was a challenge...

No kidding, but my first thought when I saw the photo was "how am I going to stop my cats treating it as a scratching post"

"Such a tactic, with all the economic and administrative woe it would entail, would be a ludicrously large hammer to use on such a small nut. No reasonable president would wield it."

That last line would once have offered greater reassurance.

The destination page looks uncomfortably like Webpack's.

Not the best idea, imho.

But they do in 3 dimensions.

Is the future of the Pentagon the Dodecahedron?

I'll never forget the despair I felt when I started a new job and sat down with the designer of the site we were to be working on.

She told me "Our site isn't going to work like any other website."

She was right. It didn't. The whole thing was canned six months later.

Spain has previously come out strongly against an independent Scotland joining the EU, largely because of the issue of Catalonian independence.

There is, however, a guarantee that a non-independent Scotland will be part of neither as a result of Brexit.

There's no small irony to the fact that scaremongering around Europe was such a big focus of the Better Together campaign in the run up to the first referendum.

It's not important that you know someone is "queer sapiosexual". It's important that the person who is knows, and is able to describe themselves.

I'm a homo-romantic asexual, and it took me until I was nearly 40 before I understood this. I often wonder how differently my life might have turned out if I'd realised this sooner.

People often complain about labels. They're not labels - they're tools we can use to understand ourselves, and help others to understand us.

I'm still thinking about it.

I was interviewing a candidate in a technical interview and it was a question they asked me.

I was impressed because it made me think, and it showed that the candidate wasn't just looking for a job, but was looking for a job in which they could learn and grow their skills.

The single best question an interviewee ever asked me:

"How has working for your company helped you grow as a developer?"

It would send a signal that Intel isn't the given choice if you've made a vast investment developing your own CPU line over the years.

I truly wonder whether the population of London will ever forgive Johnson for his part in the referendum.

It may will prove significant in elections and referendums to come.

Kindles are still B&W - I'm curious about the colour displays.

Wow, I had no idea e-ink had come so far.

Has the latency improved any?

As the saying goes, money doesn't buy happiness. Money buys the things that bring happiness...

But this website should not be needed.

This is is fundamental design requirement, and the tools we have are barely up to the task.

Flexbox is a good start, but articles like this should be completely redundant.

I've been a front end developer for, well, quite a while, and in that time we've gone from cycles of around a decade (thank you IE6!) for new versions of JS to something closer to a couple of years.

The future, as I see it, is incredibly bright.

It was undeniably impressive 60 years ago, but I can only imagine the glee Disney himself would have felt to realise that out outcome of such technological evolution was available to so many today (but not yet everyone, sadly)

For a relatively simple service, I'd instinctively be happy paying $5-10 per year.

To ask that per month is going to be difficult.

Who's "we"?

Humanity, or whatever we create to succeed us?

Surely a black banner day, if ever there was one?

Any sufficiently advanced product management problem is indistinguishable from a software quality problem.

He had a wonderful way of expressing ideas. This always resonated with me: "Minds are what brains do"

Regardless of how it splits the vote, I have a hard time arguing against anyone who pins their flag to the !Trump platform.
