There doesn't seem to be any mention of actual KPIs/metrics changes in the relaunch?

this is already covered in basically any AST transform systems (babylon, acorn, TS...)

cool library, but the frame rate drop is pretty bad.
Re:Show HN: Simple express-like routing for front-end on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @08:00AM (#12303989)
Hmm not sure what problem this was trying to solve since client side router has been a solved one for a long time. And this is not looking close to express w/o middleware, which page.js does.

Yeah looks exactly like page.js
Re:JavaScript Cancelable Promises Proposal on Thursday May 26, 2016 @10:55PM (#11783574)
yup, so why bloat up the spec? Introducing a 3rd option that represents a non-deterministic remote state isn't entirely helpful IMO. Having the ability to abort the connection should be enough (which is a rejection).
Re:JavaScript Cancelable Promises Proposal on Thursday May 26, 2016 @04:06PM (#11781062)
canceling GET is the simplest use case, XMLHttpRequest/fetch is already able to abort. POST/PUT/DELETE, however, modifies remote resources which cannot be easily "canceled" (it might corrupt server state and/or transaction might even have to extend to client being able to fully "resolve" the Promise?)
Re:JavaScript Cancelable Promises Proposal on Thursday May 26, 2016 @09:34AM (#11777755)
Not sure if this is needed. A Promise is basically an async representation of a transaction where "cancel" can mean a slew of things. Even w/ `fetch`, what's supposed to happen when you cancel? (connection abort? resource modification reverse?) Cancel should just be a `rejection`, because the Promise's purpose (update a remote resource) wasn't fulfilled
This is not surprising at all. "sudo"-ing as other users is extremely useful for debugging.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2015) on Thursday January 01, 2015 @02:11PM (#8823868)
I clicked on Team and there're no engineers there. Does the company not value their engineers?
Re:Ask HN: What did I do so wrong in this coding interview on Wednesday July 09, 2014 @11:11PM (#8013386)
Agreed w/ honestfeedback.

- Overall project structure seems a bit unorganized IMO (no centralized build process, gulpfile inside subfolder). Overall this makes it fairly hard to dive right into the project. It might be my lack of experience in PHP project structure.

- I think pulling in a server & a db might be an overkill. Local storage will do the job perfectly.

- Mix of tabs & spaces is also very messy.

- Styling is pretty sloppy too I believe. No clear organization/reusability in the stylesheets.

- Vendor scripts/generated scripts should not be committed to the repo IMO. There're already bower & CDNjs & a bunch of other services.

- Your JS is also very module/singleton-based although some of them are clearly object-oriented. Also seems to be a mix of jQuery usage & DOM directly, why not 1?

I think what they're looking for is a couple of simple JS that's easily tested, maintained & expanded which IMO is more important for senior candidates. Less senior ones can always bang this out quickly but senior ones care way more about other attributes of a project than just getting it done asap.

Re:JSON is not as safe as people think it is on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @10:24AM (#5449537)
JSON is a standard to represent data in human-readable format, ofc there's no built-in security. Misleading title...

Yup, completely down

It'd be better if this were open-source, uploading pcaps on a 3rd-party site is pretty scary...
