Installing and managing plugins at least is pretty easy with pathogen and vundle.

Lots of corporations that don't have your best interest at heart write software that doesn't live on the web, in any number of languages.

Conversely, I can write open-source javascript that does something useful for you, that does not mine your data or do anything of that sort.

I don't see how this relates to javascript.

You may be thinking of logical insanity, which I also recommend.

Re:The Future of AngularJS on Friday September 27, 2013 @01:35PM (#6458277)
You can get around the IE problem by using classes to call your directives rather than element tags. <div class="ng-view"></div> isn't as pretty, but it works in IE8.

Agree that the documentation is still lacking.

Re:Svg.js on Wednesday September 18, 2013 @10:12AM (#6405314)
Great points you bring up on poor IOS performance when rendering SVG's. I do a lot of SVG graphics work in D3 and it's something I hope will improve.

I haven't myself, but have you tried two.js for SVG manipulation? It seems geared towards that.

Regulatory capture is when the people tasked with keeping an industry on its best behavior have too close ties to the industry, through personal connections or financial incentives, and are no longer able to do their jobs.

I would agree that we have a problem with inadequate or corrupt regulators in several industries.

Re:Bootstrap 3 on Monday July 29, 2013 @09:44AM (#6121033)
Which reset and grid system do you use? I have the same experience, and I end up un-checking every option except one or two on bootstrap's customization page for most of my projects.

Re:Why did we build React? on Wednesday June 05, 2013 @01:25PM (#5827115)
So I've used Backbone and now I'm using Angular. I work a lot with D3, creating SVG's in "render"-type functions (still grokking how this all fits in with Angular directives, but that's another story). One benefit from this article that jumps out is the smart rendering that React does.

If you had a scatterplot with thousands of points, being able to add or subtract a couple without re-calculating the whole thing would certainly interest me.
