Yes of course, like in any other programming languages.

JS is easy, JS ecosystem is not.

A note slightly related: Mars reaches perihelic opposition with the sun on July 27, 2018, which means observers on Earth will have their closest view of the planet since 2003. Great time to borrow a telescope.

IMO, RSS is by far the best tool to get news content. Thanks to the ratio signal/noise.

Problem is, how to convince website editors to promote theirs RSS feeds while there are many social networks out there with built-in ads feature.

You should take a look at U-Boot implementation.

From my point of view, your professional situation seems really enjoyable.

I guess the first step is to be proud of you. Next, go to the gym, and spend more time with your loved ones (friends/family). Do you have a hobby?

What a refreshing read. Lovely kids, awesome scientists.

This is why this article is good.

As a reminder, everyone doesn't work in front of a computer all day.

Except that electric engines can be more than 90% efficient while combustion engines are 30 to 45% efficient.

Good move. Next, PWA.

TL;DR No evidence of aliens.

Will you find acceptable a plane crash because of technical failure?

Determinism rules for aeronautical engineers (software and hardware), and thus, today, flying is the safest transportation mode.

3 years, but I guess not all documents were revealed in 2013.

I guess what makes Libui interesting is its C language implementation.

Performance?

If someone spend many months learning a new language, but still can't be able to build something functional with it, I think he has a bigger problem...

So tell when a Photoshop, a real Visual Studio, a SolidWorks, or any big/professional software written with Electron-like tech will be out there.

It's wrong because that tends to persuade developers that there is one tool for every situation.

If you build something functional fast with your favorite tool (not suited for the job), then you will probably spend many months maintaining/hacking your codebase to keep it functional and well designed.

I guess KiCad is a good future proof solution for FOSS PCB design.

KiCad is now used intensively by CERN teams, and backup by them too. http://www.ohwr.org/projects/cern-kicad/wiki

See the KiCad CERN roadmap (10. is about UI): http://www.ohwr.org/projects/cern-kicad/wiki/WorkPackages

"Electron has lowered the barrier to developing desktop applications". Nope, I don't think so. Perhaps for web developers.

For non-web developers, there are already well-suited technologies to develop desktop applications: Swing, Qt, Cocoa, GTK, WPF/WinRT, and so on. Maybe theses technologies seem less sexy but there are here from the beginning to do that kind of job.

Please, use the right tool for the right job.

There are some pedestrians-only areas in Paris : http://en.parisinfo.com/discovering-paris/themed-guides/pari...

I don't know if it's the case too in other countries, but here in France, there are more and more cities which go car-free during a day each month.

Most of the time, these car-free events occurs in the historical downtown of big cities, and there are generally appreciated.
