Yeah, but the thing with React is that it's one library, instead of having both Jade and Backbone, you can have a fully React stack and have peace of mind through it.
I've used Jade and honestly prefer the React way for sure because it combines the javascript with the html in the same file(s)
I'm in the same boat, it's just too convenient to read from a Kindle compared to having to hold a paperback while laying in bed. These rules that Amazon imposes on ebooks doesn't really affect me, I purchase the books and I get to read them, that's it.
He reminds me of TJ Hollowaychuk, who singlehandedly wrote most of Express.js. Makes me wonder what the node community would be without him.
My go to stack for personal projects is React Node Postgres, while Meteor looks great I just can't live without the sweet built in postgres features like trigger functions. I'm on the lookout for a rails like framework because right now I tend to code everything by hand. Will give it an honest try once they support MySQL or pgSQL.
Watched Wild Strawberries on youtube on a whim, made me realize how important relationships are to our happiness.
I feel like everyone has those symptoms from time to time
Seems like a harmless prank to me.
It's a restriction of the Mac App Store, not the actual Mac computer itself. Mac is just Unix with a pretty UI and lots of features.
Hmm might have to try this out. The TODOMVC test http://somebee.github.io/todomvc-render-benchmark/index.html looks promising .
I would really like to see React do something like this as a shortcut to having to do map. It would be SO helpful.
React is insanely fun. It's so stress free to code up the frontend of your web app with React because everything is viewed as a component. My friend and I have adopted React and we are still glossing over how great it is.
Well if you think about it, the netflix UI is pretty much a bunch of documents. It's a gallery of images, and each image has its own document.
The DOM is a dinosaur unfortunately, it just gets the job done for most basic websites. CSS is also a language made for the DOM. The thing is, the DOM isn't required for a web page. Netflix could have coded up their entire UI on a Javascript 2D game engine and could have ended up with a faster app for sure. But CSS and the DOM make it much easier to work with text + links, that imo it's worth it for the performance drop of animations.
The community would be in an uproar if such a sale happened. Reddit's only monetization schemes right now are 1) reddit gold 2) ads and 3) the gift shop. These are things that the community can completely boycott. Any sane person would know not to buy out something like reddit.
Sometimes the best thing to do is to do nothing at all. Reddit is OK already, but the new management seems to want to change it more and more. These new CEO's want to always push their "vision" for what reddit should be despite what the userbase wants and the backlash for that is already showing.
The thing is, the power doesn't rest on the CEO or the company, it rests on the user base. Redditors can migrate to any other website they choose to, just like Digg users migrated to reddit some years ago. The people have the power in the end.
Lots of great insights in this article! I especially liked the part where he advises us to treat freelancing as a business.
The backslash commands are way better than having to type out SHOW TABLES; or SHOW DATABASES;, or CONNECT DATABASE X. All I have to do is \dt or \c x. It's so much better. Can't remember them? Just do \?.
I mean, I love Node for building my webapps, but if I had to write a fast HTTP server for pure speed I'd probably go with C. But I use Node for NPM just like anyone would use Ruby for Gem. It makes it easy to get a production ready rest app upp and running. I agree with what you said, I don't see the point of this comparison.
As a college CS student, It's actually super useful for college students working on a project. The only good choice right now is Google DOCS for collaboration, having a realtime collab mockup creation tool would be very helpful for multiple college students working on a project.

Yeah, I was curious about React, spent the next two days of non stop just learning it, and haven't looked back. I use it for a lot of my web app projects now and it's been great.
I do feel annoyed by people who get caught up in the hype and say "we'll use react on our stack" when they don't even know what React is. I just point them to the facebook tutorial.
