We shouldn't diminish the power of transform here. It's not just one property like opacity. You can animate quite a bit on the compositor with transform

I agree with exactly one sentence in the comment thread so far. "CSS requires experience"

If you're interested in actually learning css, and don't just want to complain about how poorly written css is bad, this website is invaluable and provides concrete examples of how to build layouts and style elements.

Thank you! We hope so too. There's so much first hand knowledge locked up in inboxes that people would like to share.

Currently we rely on the gmail API, but it is on our roadmap to expand to the other major email providers. Is there one in particular that you would like to see on FWD:Everyone?

Both of us come from situations where this product would have saved so much time and energy in a business setting. It really influenced our design of the org and repo features. Let us know if you have any questions or want to kick the tires in an organization setting.

Please reach out to myself or Alex to get this worked out:

You're absolutely right! We'll get this up ASAP. Thanks for your interest in the site.

We are actively working on a gmail add-on which would allow you to not give us access to your inbox, rather, publish single threads to the site through the gmail interface. We have a few tickets open with Google to narrow the scope of the permissions available to us for exactly that reason! :)

One of the features we have is a naive suggestion engine. Upon signing up you can feed the app a list of keywords. These key words are used to surface relevant threads from your inbox.

Out of curiosity, why don't you think you can delete Facebook? I have a few friends whose jobs are in new media spaces and have thrown out a couple reasons off the cuff. After talking through those scenarios though, we concluded it's entirely reasonable and practical to delete their Facebook accounts, and it wouldn't negatively impact their livelihood as much as they originally thought.

It sounds like your experience with SPA's is the exception, not the rule. I have never built a product or website using Angular or React that performs as poorly as you describe.

- Routing modules in all the major frameworks interact directly with the history APIs, and are fast as f*.

- There are only a handful of locations in the US where you can expect sub 100ms server round trips, usually they're around 300ms, but lets call that negligible. The real time spent waiting is usually if you're executing some complex database query over large data sets. This has nothing to do with SPA's vs Monoliths. Even so, it sounds like you just experienced bad code if you're waiting 6 seconds for a modal to open.

Also...React with React DOM is only 10kb larger than jquery, and when gzipped it's only 37kb.

Freedom of speech is part of a legal framework. It means you won't be arrested for something you say or express. Doesn't mean anyone has to have a positive response to everything anyone says.

Though it may be true that some liberals who work in technology argue about pronouns, that doesn't mean the entire set of liberals working in technology did anything.

What I would take away from that notion is that large is relative. A large portion of the country still has fewer people than New York City.

I am of course, not trying to start a flame war either, but my take on it is that those sorts of issues would be inappropriate to bring up at work or in a job interview in the first place, regardless of your position.

Based on your description, I believe I probably espouse the opposite position on those issues, and even though I work at a large tech company in NYC I still don't bring them up at work.

That said, I can totally see where you're coming from. I have a friend who ended up being a pretty staunch Donald Trump supporter, and I watched as a lot of colleagues ostracized him (even though he never really brought it up at work).

It takes hard work to see past issues that divide us. In the case of my friend, I always just try to focus on our shared interests. It's what has kept us friends.

In closing...there are of course different degrees of ideas that people will tolerate, and it may just be that large cities have spoken, and they don't want intolerant people in their ranks.
