Good article, but did anyone notice the design itself? What a beautiful website. Dynamic while still easy to read.

>A future where there has to be an App for that

Standardising on this means the exact opposite, there will not need to be an app for everything, just the web.

Re:Show HN: Professional profile management tool built using React on Thursday September 14, 2017 @01:36AM (#15245237)
Whats the advantage of this over the profile you can build in stackoverflow?
Is the harm then a) that these people are exposed to the larger ideology, or b) that these people don't have the critical thinking tools or habits to see these ideologies for what they are?

I think it's (b).

In life we are exposed to a lot of bad ideologies, and the only thing that can help us navigate these ideas is our own thick skin and critical thinking tools and habits. The only way you develop these are through exposure and practice.

Finally some context. Not just what-if's, but the context of how facebook has acted historically. Great read. I will continue to use React.
Using physics simulation to pack parts more closely together is such a good idea. Nothing like a little shake to get things packed together.
Re:Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo on Wednesday August 16, 2017 @12:05AM (#15024872)

The disclaimer before the 'but' reads quite clearly to me.

Re:Ask a Female Engineer: Thoughts on the Google Memo on Tuesday August 15, 2017 @11:47PM (#15024822)
The memo attempts to use references to what the author sees as well accepted science. If you have a disagreement with the science, you can disagree. However, the method the author to used construct the memo, i.e. referencing studies, is the correct method. At worst you could attempt to call it bad science mixed with ignorance.

30 people at $10 per class, or 15 people at $20. It's not unusual.

Are you seriously so cynical that you can't even imagine that someone else could enjoy something? That's sad.

And how would you name this new API? Bob? Or version 2?
