Most important link in this thread.

We got several of these at work and the screens are just phenomenal. I want one at home too.

The signal-to-noise ratio in this event is terrible so far.

The idea's unfortunately been picked up by the fringier side of the discussion, but there's evidence that some proteins in wheat (not just gluten) trigger opiate receptors in the brain.

Isn't it really productivity OR jobs? A smaller number of productive workers can accomplish the same finite amount of "work" as a greater number of less-productive workers.

Welcome to the Industrial Revolution.

What tools were used to discover and digest the data? I'd be very interested in the process behind this post.

How has Cylon.js not gotten more attention around here? This looks fantastic!

I'm trying, but I just don't see any good coming of this. The comments from Mojang seem incredibly naive, everything is going to change.

First people to make money on this will be lawyers. There's going to be a blizzard of copyright takedown notices going out to every unlicensed (most all) Minecraft merchandise and spinoffs. The offline fan ecosystem is going to get slaughtered.

Mostly I'm just sad for all the kids. They love Minecraft, and this won't end well.

Facebook has been using React in production since 2011. Polymer is a "developer preview", aside from the Material Design presentation, I haven't heard of anything public-facing that Google's actually done with it yet.

React is backwards compatible to IE8. Polymer? Not so much. Unless you live in that mythical world of evergreen browsers, Polymer is sort of just a really great demo.

Honestly, I thought Square was kind of broke. Most of my contact with Square is in small cafes and restaurants, making this pivot kind of bizarre. Why would any food service company sign up for payment services with a company that's also competing with them? Stripe should be all over that angle.

Has Apple sued yet?

I really liked the Polymer demos from I/O, but stepping back, it seems an awful lot like React without the compatibility.

Polymer does appear to be more than just another Google flash-in-the-pan. They've got a good team, which is working closely with the Chrome team and Google's investment at I/O was significant. I wonder how the Angular folks are feeling.

Facebook is using React right now, when will Google put Polymer into production? Hopefully Polymer will get around to some practical compatibility. Otherwise I'll make a note in my calendar for 2016.

... for now.

So I'm excited this is finally here. But I'm also terrified. You go first.

I was wondering how long this would take. Thoughtcrime is here. The quest for ideological purity is kneecapping our future. Shutting out half of the brainpool because they hold opposing views about disconnected topics is a recipe for societal failure.

This and SpamCop flagging a bunch of Google's mail server IPs broke a bunch of email last week.

Small, conservative design shop, SaaS is about $60-80 per seat per month, varying by role. The bulk of that is Creative Cloud, which is at least twice as expensive as it should be.

Most of the advantages of sitting on a ball are negated when you put it in one of those fake-chair things. Try the ball by itself.

> my generation of programmers who were raised with the vile "work smart, not hard" mantra, coupled with the sense that we were somehow significantly brighter than most of our peers.

Spot on. Been digging out of that hole for decades.

Personally, Sass was the first tool to really push my toolset towards its current polyglot of whatever works best.

Whatever line-wrap/justification setting they're using is horribly, illegibly broken on mobile Safari. Some irony.

Having painfully hacked together a few packages for ST (and TM) over the years, I'm impressed at how fast they pulled this together. If it's this easy to extend, Atom could have a very bright future.

The problem is font-loaders. All of them. At best, you've got an additional http request, at worst a javascript file loads, executes, authenticates and then generates yet another CSS file.

The solution is to make everything as legal as you can, then quietly embed the font files directly into your CSS as data:font urls.

Don't Amazon and Netflix both stream from the AWS cloud?

When did blogspot break the back button?

Well (taking cues from the article) it has been a couple of weeks.

This is the first I've heard of Gulp though. Looks promising.

Re-copying the list to a new sheet of paper is a feature. It forces you to regularly re-prioritize items or choose to drop them altogether.

I kept a digital list for a few years, but eventually it just became a crap heap of undone tasks and abandoned ideas that would get batch re-scheduled forward forever. Paper lists work really well for me.

Looks similar to Angular's Protractor, but with more conventional (and easier to understand) syntax. Seems too easy not to try.
