I’ve paid for a Flickr Pro account for several years, it wasn’t a free-product to begin with.

Doesn’t the Clojure way of thinking/programming help you with writing better JavaScript though? I’m a JS Dev and I’ve been looking into Clojurescript to broaden my horizon but I’m also hoping to learn some FP techniques that I can use in my Node/React projects.

Nice work, I like it!!

Different conception of happiness?

I agree, it's better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.

So cool, thanks for sharing!!

Features:

* stars follow your cursor

* click in starfield adds 100 more stars (3D Touch, i.e. 'press really hard' on iPhone)

* click on STAR TREK toggles true color stars

* turn up your speaker volume and listen to those beautiful Enterprise engines

Did not know that! That might explain some of the sharpness of his criticism

Agreed, bit of a disappointment coming from someone I respect a lot for all his open source contributions

Yes and he was not amused, to put it mildly, just have a look at some of his tweets: https://mobile.twitter.com/tjholowaychuk/status/885580704037...

Oh my, yes that's what I meant!

Any news on Web Workers?

I loved Waterworld!!

I'm guessing here: With const there's always the disccusion about consts not being constant, e.g. when referencing an array or object (reference itself is constant). With "val" you don't have that confusion?

Thanks for your answers David! Too bad it's not feasible yet.

And using nuclear energy, why wouldn't it be possible to accelerate to, say, 50% of light speed?

The acceleration itself wouldn't be too bad:

299792458 m/s / 2 = 149896229 m/s

In 10 years that would be: 149896229 m/s / 10 y / 365 d / 24 h / 60 m / 60 s = 0.475 m/s2

Why wouldn't the probe be able to send us any kind of signal? Would it be too weak to get here? And what if we were to point a super sensitive telescope to it?

Would it be possible/make sense to use Docker for this?

Using something like Whalebrew? https://github.com/bfirsh/whalebrew

Very cool! Simple and you even thought of a way to earn some money with it. Hope this kind of creativity gets rewarded!

Awesome, thanks!

Question for the poster: any general thoughts on why you chose TypeScript instead of Flow Type?

Yes, I think even more so now with the Node Foundation and support for all modern JS syntax (ES6 and beyond). It's being used by mayor players (LinkeIn, Netflix, Medium and Uber to name a few) but also smaller companies (from my personal experience as a freelance developer).

PS Assuming that by web app you mean "the backend for web apps". Otherwise Node would be used 'just' for the build process, together with Webpack and friends.

"Unit tests in JavaScript

Writing unit tests in TypeScript can sometimes be troublesome and confusing. Especially when mocking dependencies and using spies."

Anybody know why unit tests are difficult in TypeScript?

And remember that paper was extremely expensive for ordinary people back then. Using it for something silly as a todo list seems as wastefull as using a JavaScript framework for just a todo app. ;)

These are release notes so don't expect a project description there. And I think the gif on the homepage makes it perfectly clear (to me at least).

Doing that for the resume template would be the next step. Would be more difficult though, since you want them to be customizable.

You're right, thanks for the heads up. Pandoc crashes if one of the fields is empty. Will look into it!

Thanks, glad to hear it!

50 dollars for my Macbook Pro Retina?! No thanks. I must be worth more than that.

Reading those predictions with a history of getting it right, always reminds me of the Simpsons episode with Professor Pigskin: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Professor_Pigskin
