jbish··on Why most mobile development projects fail
Interesting. I've worked with a few designers who had Xcode _installed_, but they were mostly using it for the Simulator. Using IB wasn't something they were comfortable with. I'd be really impressed with somebody who's a Sketch/Photoshop wiz coming over to IB and being productive.

On the flip side why would a non-developer bother to install Xcode and learn IB when they can export their ideas directly from Sketch/Photoshop into clickable "prototypes"?

jbish··on Why most mobile development projects fail
Are there many designers that know their way around Interface Builder?
jbish··on Talking with Tom Dale about Ember FastBoot and the Return of Scrappy JavaScript
Ember FastBoot is a cool project. Glad to see they are close to production ready.

Tom mentions they are leveraging App Cache, which is notoriously hard to work with and will likely be deprecated. That's the scrappy stuff they are doing, comparing it to how jQuery once made the DOM easier to work with.

If a future Ember release was able to abstract the client-side caching between App Cache and ServiceWorker and automatically "upgrade" my apps to use ServiceWorker when available, that's a big win. I'm not sure that's possible though...

jbish··on Basic Facebook
Seems like many of the features of the full Facebook are there. I wonder if they are leveraging their React components to render the same stuff on the server...
jbish··on The Web's Grain
If nothing else, this talk should remind us that there is no fold[1]. Embracing the idea of screen edgelessness is a great thing.

jbish··on The State of Go
Yes! I've been wanting to do this and didn't know it was this easy.
jbish··on Sublime Text 3 builds picking up steam again
+1 I'd like to know what plugins people have found worth paying for.
jbish··on Atlassian HipChat was breached. Time to reset your password.
Wondering the same. What if this was Github? What if private repos were somehow exposed? All these team apps could expose sensitive data if targeted/breached.
jbish··on Mobile Web App Checklist

jbish··on Ideal Image Slider
Should I use a carousel?

jbish··on A failed experiment: How LG screwed up its webOS acquisition
I like my LG remote for its simplicity actually. Simply designed, functions sort of like the Wii Remote, and controls my cable box as well. This is the one I have:

jbish··on MEAN Development Stack on Google Compute Engine
Are they intending this is used for development only? I see numerous places where they remind you to delete your app when done, but nothing about what to do when you want to deploy for production?
jbish··on DOM: attributes sadness
Usually yes. The jQuery docs[0] go into why they refactored their .attr into separate .prop and .attr methods way back when in v1.6.

There are also cases, such as the value property, that will also update the value attribute.

jbish··on Show HN: Esperanto – Convert ES6 modules to AMD, CommonJS
Nice work. Just going through the example conversions is helpful in understanding some of the syntax differences.

I'm a bit confused by the Named imports example though. What is the signifance of the __imports_0 variable in both the AMD and CommonJS conversions?

jbish··on Show HN: I'm renting a truck to make buying and selling furniture easier
+1 to NYC. I tend to avoid selling stuff on CL because I don't want to directly deal with the potentially creepy person that actually wants my stuff. I guess what I want is a minimal middleman that brings an extra degree of safety and convenience to the exchange.
jbish··on Virtual DOM in Elm
Running your perf test, I consistently get Backbone being the fastest, Angular the slowest, and the projects using Virtual DOM approach somewhere in the middle. Is that expected? http://evancz.github.io/todomvc-perf-comparison/

edit: I was running the original test instead of your fork.

jbish··on The Cult of 'Killing It'
Sustainability sounds better to me personally. I think we all have our own tolerance levels when it comes to how many hours we can dedicate to "work" vs. "life" and still be happy. That term seems a bit more appropriate than the common "work/life balance".
jbish··on Pinboard Turns Five
Thanks for pointing this out. Great writing, loved the latest post on the Yemen trip. I hadn't heard about qat (khat) and then stumbled upon it again this morning here http://modernfarmer.com/2014/07/everything-need-know-khat/
