A group of smart WebAssembly experts tried to start a company around the idea of incrementally porting to WebAssembly, and wrote an excellent post-mortem of why that didn't work: https://zaplib.com/docs/blog_post_mortem.html
I'm one of the developers of Lens, and I agree that it's not the right fit for every problem. The way I categorize the different types of interfaces in my mind is a spectrum from:
* "shelf based" drag & drop like Lens, Tableau and most spreadsheets
* Query-based, where you type a query using SQL or another grammar and choose from a template
* High level code like ggplot, Vega or Observable's new Plot
* Low level code like D3
Since you're a developer, maybe you'd benefit from looking at one of the high level visualization grammars.
Any detail about what's going to happen to existing user accounts? As an Rdio subscriber, I want to make sure my existing collections and playlists don't just get deleted.
The Angular team listened to the community and has been working on an upgrade path. I found this blog post useful in convincing my team that we are not going to be wasting time as long as we continue to follow angular and JS best practices:
I've been socialized to think that cutting lines of any sort (especially of the kind mentioned in the article) is rude, both to the other customers in line and to the shopkeeper. If I try, someone will usually speak up and try to enforce the "order" of the line. Is this different in other cultures?
Foursquare has been promising this since the beginning, it's why I keep using it and checking in. Hoping this lives up to the promise, since their current recommendations are pretty static.
Even though the name and email of the suspect are redacted, it says that the suspect is being investigated for 18 U.S.C. §§ 641, 793d-e, and 798(a)(3). This is exactly what Edward Snowden was charged under[0].
I'm a designer and developer, with experience building responsive frontend apps and mobile apps.
Most recently, I designed and built the website for Backspaces (http://backspac.es), an app for telling stories from your phone.
I am very experienced with Javascript on the frontend and backend, and with libraries like Backbone.js and Socket.io. I am also experienced with Python, using Django and Tornado.
I would consider offering a discount of sorts when paying via bitcoin, or setting a fixed conversion rate (right now something like $120 per BTC has been fairly stable).
But I agree, there's nothing to prevent me from accepting the money via normal means, and simply buying my own bitcoins.
I think the article would be the same no matter which tool he were using. It's about a process of fast iterations in design, which is possible when you're this comfortable with the tool. I'd compare it to using dev tools to mock up a website, it just reduces friction for something you could do manually.
