Well nobody is forcing you to do anything. If running your tech on your own infrastructure is better for you, then by all means keep on doing that. > they got your back as longest you paid them to …

Why aren't Apple or Google doing something like this?

It makes perfect sense if you consider that the reason stuff like Graphcool and GraphQL exist is because the need of decoupling the front end stack. And the need to decouple it is because it's be…

IMO the biggest problem with Firebase is data modelling and querying. No relationships, very basic filtering capabilities, etc. That should be a deal breaker for any serious project. I wrote this a co…

It sounds intriguing but you really need to put a lot more info on that website. Forcing me to request an invite or register to know more about a product is the fastest way of making me close the brow…

I was discussing about this with an old (60+) developer that still insists in making everything in PHP with his own CMS / framework that he built 10+ years ago. He stated similar opinions to your…

> File storage is not where we want to earn our money Why not sell storage at cost + 15% or something similar? You could also simply offer some type of GCS or S3 integration so that your users woul…

I'd love to have a few days of peace to be able to try GraphQL and Graphcool. If it does the job as expected it looks super useful for small dev teams. They have solved simple auth, permissions, …

Meanwhile Chromebooks are growing really fast. IMO Google is nailing the OS for the masses in the post mobile era.

I feel that's one of the reasons the iPad is failing as a laptop replacement. The CPU/GPU power is there, but iOS is too restrictive.

If instead of desktop win32 applications they had used web applications none of this would have happened. Servers are much less vulnerable for a number of reasons: 1) People managing and configuring t…

True, but I'm sure there are a lot of cases where the OS wasn't updated because of the necessary investment to jump to a new Windows version.

You mean like https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/

Nah we just send a couple hundred clones

It could argued though that if Yahoo had cared about Flickr it could have become Instagram.

I was a heavy Flickr user for about 5 years and I have to disagree with you. Facebook certainly brought photo sharing to the masses, but most Flickr users were actually "a bunch of amateurs obses…

Apparently it's already been implemented in Nougat. http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/25/android-n-feature-sp... …

Which is why I much prefer Reddit than Facebook. Content is curated by each community and not some corporation. There is a "hot" algorithm but you are free to switch to "top", &quo…

Even for small projects libraries such as Vue or React are very useful. Of course it feels easier to stick with what you know, but managing the DOM with data is so much easier than using jQuery + Hand…

Breaking safety in the name of safety is like going to war in the name of peace.

Um you are right. It used to be HTML5 and in 2012 they switched to native. My bad. https://techcrunch.com/2012/12/18/wunderlist-2-goes-native-o... …

Wunderlist, Slack, Spotify, Adobe CC, Atom, VSCode, and a very long etc. (Technically Spotify and Adobe CC use CEF instead of electron but it's the same idea)

I would much rather see a native to JS bridge completely decoupled from React.

Great idea. Are you using WebKit's WebView? I'm guessing no Node or any other API to interact with the OS (file system, etc), right?

True, but searching by name it's one of the main features of Albert and it's certainly more convenient than using ST to search your computer.

Even if we magically stopped all emissions today it would not be enough. The time to act was probably 50 years ago. 1) Climatic feedback systems such as arctic ice melting, or permafrost methane have …

> Billions of people could die. We might lose 99% of species. You make it sound like this wasn't a huge deal.

I wonder why the author ignored other big players in those benchmarks such as Angular or Vue.

Same here. I bought a 2015 model. https://medium.com/@Pier/why-i-bought-a-2015-macbook-pro-fad... …
