It's funny how Microsoft conducted the "tests" on Chrome [1] & Firefox [2] and discreetly leave out Safari. Safari is by far a winner when it comes to efficiency. So hats off to MS for their "informative" & "thorough" test(s).

[1] has been known for draining battery, so no surprises there.

[2] which for a couple of releases has become even more unusable. On my MBP (2014, i5, 8GB), takes over 4+ seconds for the bar to activate. Hopefully with the introduction of E10S [3], next releases will be much more perfomant.

EDIT: I did not know Safari is no more on Windows. So in that case Edge is the winner for Windows.

Seems 550 dyno hours are for ALL, not per app :(

They have a provided a FAQ page about Free Dyno Hour [1]

Previously you get 540 dyno hours (18 hours/day), now it's 550. If you provide a valid credit card, you'll get 1000 dyno hours (you will NOT be charged unless you EXPLICITLY switch to a paid plan)

None in my [Mac]book. If you're running on OSX, open WhatsApp web on Safari, allow notification & pin the tab. Same outcome but resource efficient (compared to an Electron app).

Couldn't agree more. I'm a lead web developer at a company and whenever I'm asked to interview a potential employee I give em' a short coding task. Internet access is allowed. The only restriction I give em' is not to clear their search history.

If the candidate knows the problem he/she is facing and can formulate good query to look for a solution; that's a ++

- shows an example using mutation observer API and fails to mention it only works on IE 11+

- follows the widely accepted format of "rant about some popular framework/library/language by mimicking a tiny portion of it"

- uses shock factor to get the reader's attention

React, Virtual DOM, Webpack, TypeScript, JSX… HOLD ON! Let’s pause for a second here and think.

YES, you don't always need a framework/library BUT if you want to build something maintainable & scalable, it's better to opt for battle tested approaches (which is especially true when it comes to the web, having browser quirks)

This seems very interesting / surprising, comparing[1] SE and 6S shows SE doesn't have second generation Touch ID.

I understand the 3D Touch with the space avaliable & all but why not the second generation Touch ID?

couldn't thumb around...

Double tapping the home button makes the top of the screen reachable

That being said, I too still use iPhone 5S & I don't think I'll make the switch, 4K video & 2nd generation Touch ID are nice but I WANT 3D Touch. I understand why they're not there yet --- they had to shove some of the battery on the 6S to fit in the 3D hardware.

EDIT: seems they stuck with the first generation Touch ID? (6S and SE) [1]

1. Vue uses the actual DOM not virtual DOM like react

2. BOTH react and Vue can be learnt in a day

3. BOTH can seem daunting when you're making production app (Vuex, redux, webpack, Vue-router, react-router...)

So, I don't not agree with 'learning curve' that's thrown at React. Both Vue and React are amazing. If you want to use them properly, you as a developer has to spend the time to learn.

As iOS devices are premium, having a Lite version wouldn't serve Facebook any good. I'm pretty sure they get most of their mobile revenue from iOS devices.

Do I need to open the link to see who'll win (seeing the recent posts of Servo's BLAZING fast WebRender)?

I use gitup as my git client and I'm completely satisfied. It was even made open source since 1.0

It hasn't asked me for email (the only email it has is for `user.email` git config)

The reason iCloud data will always be accessible by Apple, and thus governments, is not because Apple wants to make it accessible to governments.

Q: Can't I already encrypt my iCloud data via a keychain?

African here (WE are poor too, "Free Basics" will serve us as well)

Personally, I believe Zuckerberg is sincere in wanting to connect everyone in the world with each other.

I personally think you're a lobbyist or you just like Mark (I mean who wouldn't, eccentric billionaire who gave MOST of his fortune away to a good cause. How could he possibly want to make MORE money)

But he is looking from the inside out.

Yeah, EXACTLY, ask US (poor people) what we want! --- WE want our Mellenia to use snapchat (with the effects & everything), Netflix & Chill...oh my bad, I lost my train of thought. What I wanted to say was that, WE want you people (first world) to donate to UNICEF so the starving child with a fly on his eye can eat --- that was my outside-in view.

Edit: to all the poor Indians who fought against "free basics", my upmost respect & gratitude --- I hope someday we can all Netflix & Chill instead of just pocking ;)

I do most of my weekend and past working hours browsing via my iPhone(5S). I only use 3G (LTE is just too damn expensive), working hours I use wifi(4mbps / 8mpbs) with my MBP

...who would consider something like free basic?

I can't put a number on it but from what I've observed it's SCARY to see the consequences if Free Basics took off. All internet cafes already have Facebook as the default page (most people don't even know how to logout, they just close the tab).

One thing that gives me hope is that people also know Google (I personally use DDG).

African here: I'm really really glad more and more counties are seeing behind the facade Facebook is putting.

I guess my analogy is being scrutinized (so to speak), that being said; YES!, that WILL happen if the carpenter doesn't know any better (or is a crook).

A smart/savvy (or whatever you want to call it) carpenter will easily do the modification[S] without tearing down the entire kitchen. Just like you can drop React into an existing project.

The flaw with this analogy is that when you need to revisit the house you built with a hammer and nails, you can continue using your nail gun.

Say clients wanted a kitchen completely remodeled, you still don't have to use hammer and nails or nail gun --- I could easily demolish the kitchen and 3D print the new kitchen

What you know/done before doesn't necessarily dictate what you'll [can] do (which is the case on the Web)

there's NO <insert language/framework/tool here> fatigue, it all depends on YOU & how you're willing to LEARN continuously

Let's put it like this, there are many ways to build a house, but you don't see a builder without at least hammer & nails right?

One day you see another builder with a nail gun, do you ask the builder about the machine or do you keep building a house using JUST hammer & nails?

After sometime, you see another builder building a house without using nails at all

After sometime, you see another builder 3D printing a house...

I too went through Angular and React, Vue combines best of both (especially after 1.0, pre 1.0 syntax was weird for me at least)

The great thing about Vue is the beautifully simplistic API (not to mention the amazing documentation) + Vue works WITH the DOM (which gives it performance boost - contrary to popular belief)

Thanks Vue team.

I've NEVER logged in using Chrome's top-right account thingy, I guess made the mistake of logging into my Gmail account and they had/have my permission.

edit: i only use[d] to use Chrome for development, I have an iPhone (all my browsing is done via Safari) so there's no need for me enable browser sync (at least i never explicitly enabled it).

DDG results have improved tremendously, top stack overflow / github matches are shown partially which is really neat

I FULLY switched to DDG (& also away from Chrome) when I found out when I click save password on login forms my password is sent to Google Servers (I must have missed it on the TOC)

really great editor - i use it on my side projects, i especially like that it uses FileReader API for image file uploads

wait, i thought Angular 2 is in the early stages, so there's no guarantee when it's "ready" the API's would stay the same as in the book

or did I miss the news?

that was my thought too, testing it on my MBP - like Brackets and Atom, it showed up in `Apps Using Significant Energy`

how would one go about deploying (say on Heroku) an iojs app?
