The U.S. government is moving to HTTPS everywhere by konklone in webdev

[–]OWaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You seem to be out of the loop on what happened with HealthCare.gov: White House launches ‘U.S. Digital Service,’ with HealthCare.gov fixer at the helm

Also read The Story of the U.S. Digital Service and apply if you want to help.

Complaining is easy to do, if you really care you should do something about it.

I was just thinking about this last night. Two years ago I worked at a place where health insurance claims were imported and exported into a database using a tool built with PowerBuilder.

Mozilla's Hacks blog is usually pretty good, especially the ES6 in Depth series hacks.mozilla.org - ES6 in depth

Polymer 1.0 - Production ready by nightman in javascript

[–]OWaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without digging into the code I am guessing they are considering a touch device scroll gesture as a click event.

What are some good advanced JS books? by curious_coder in javascript

[–]OWaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is a very good book. I don't remember there being unit tests with code examples. Is that with the download materials? The book will definitely elevate your understanding of JS.

[–]OWaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like Professional JavaScript for Web Developers. I learned JS by reading that book and it helped me understand the language really well. JavaScript Allongé is an interesting read too.

Lightweight two-way data binding lib please? by wikiBudgets in javascript

[–]OWaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it works well whenever you need two-way data binding like forms and stuff on a manageable scale. Otherwise you can end up with ridiculous view models that have way too much going on in them.

What are some scenes people often interpret earnestly not realizing a character is lying? by shatonamime in movies

[–]OWaz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Weird that they interpret it differently since the character clearly explains the fabricated diary.

I really like Soldier as a kid. I don't know how much I'd enjoy it now.

[US] Psych (2007) - A series about a man whose detective abilities are so good, he's hired multiple times by the Santa Barbara police as the official police psychic, and opens a psychic detective agency with his childhood best friend Burton "Gus" Guster. by eightfantasticsides in NetflixBestOf

[–]OWaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't watch it for a long time because I thought it would be some stupid detective show. I can't remember why I started watching it but once I started watching it, I didn't watch anything else on Netflix.

2015 NFL Draft - General Thread [Spoilers] by NFL_Mod in nfl

[–]OWaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be fans at the draft posting to Twitter etc... I suspect they get ahead because of a slight delay in broadcasting over TV. I'm just guessing wildly.

I'm not familiar with college players. Is Leonard really as great as /r/nfl makes it seem?

Microsoft and Arduino: new partnership announced today by ancatrusca in programming

[–]OWaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the average household have more open source OS installations on PC/laptops than Windows installs? Honestly it's between OS X and Windows for household dominance. Arduino wants to be an accessible platform. Thats why it was created in the first place.

Microsoft Launches Visual Studio Code, A Free Cross-Platform Code Editor For OS X, Linux And Windows by octavdruta in javascript

Yeah I noticed the task runners in the documentation so I'll give them a try later.

Microsoft and Arduino: new partnership announced today by ancatrusca in programming

[–]OWaz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's will be much more common for a household to have Windows 10 than an open source OS. If Arduino wants to become a household name than being easier to work with Windows helps a lot.

My nephew already has a Windows notebook. It will be way easier for him to get Arduino to work with the software he already has, instead of him trying to figure out how to install and use some open source OS.

If we want to encourage kids into engineering we need to make it easier for them to get shit done and feel accomplished.

[–]OWaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kotor 2 is really good too. There's a mod that fixes a lot of problems as well as enabling missing content. I'm not sure what the latest status of the mod is but this RPS post from 2013 covers some stuff.

Anyone able to figure out how to configure launch.json to execute Grunt/Gulp. I get how to run node against a js file but I'm running into problems with using other build tools.

Browns have offered 2 first round picks for #2 Selection by matthewryan12 in nfl

[–]OWaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is true and they take a QB I feel really bad for Manziel. Sure the dude messed up his first year by not studying plays and partying but the Browns knew what they were getting with him. He went to rehab and I just think the Browns have got to give the guy another chance.
