I totally missed the concept of having high-level Controller-Views when I first started playing around with React. Just understanding the concept is only half the battle too; you have to have the self-control to keep lower-level components immutable using props and pass in the 'state' via the higher-level controller-views. Has anyone had experience with Flex and the Cairngorm Framework (from back in the day)? I find Flux borrows heavily from its design.
Hello fellow boulderer! I have seen (anecdotally) that climbing has adverse effects on slouching. Your back muscles grow disproportionately to your chest muscles producing rounded, hunched shoulders.

I was only explaining the advantage over png. Great point about the use-case though. The average site is probably not going to offer 95 payment options/operators; a specialized svg library might be more appropriate.

They will scale well with high ppi screens.

This made me laugh and is totally true. Defining your timeline seems like a necessary first step to using that phrase.

Just started reading Ubik and liking it so far. Before that I reread To Kill a Mockingbird. I really enjoy hacking on side projects in my free time but sometimes it's nice to step away. I've found getting deep into a book is a good way for me to do that.

I'm actually just using IndexedDB so it doesn't sync. I use Chrome storage to cache the license (in case you were wondering about the permissions). There is a special Chrome storage sync api but it's limited to 800kb I think. I'm still exploring a good way to implement (unlimited) sync. Thanks for the feedback!

I wrote a chrome extension called Symplie that lets you write and view notes in Markdown: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/symplie/kjadigajmc...
Developer here. I've worked on this Chrome extension for ~4 weekends and I've just made it public on the Chrome Web Store. feedback is welcome!

I agree. For me, Facebook has become more of a utility. If asked the same questions I would probably answer in a similar way. I do not 'love' Facebook the way I 'love' other products but it has its uses.

Are you not proving the point? Saying that government-run projects are limited because of the decisions of the government doesn't seem to be a great argument for government-run projects.
