For websites, as opposed to webapps, this might be fine. But a webapp will pretty nearly alawys want to look the same cross platform, sort of forcing styling.
I get it, they didn't like what they looked like before, because reasons. But I wonder what percentage of sites and apps were using unstyled controls.
Being better than [x] does not make Slack good, per se. It might make some thankful they aren't using [x], but that's really about as far as that should go.
I like Slack more than Skype, but I hate Slack with the passion of 1000 firey suns, especially in regard to many UIUX decisions. (Why does the new message line stay on the view AFTER I HAVE RESPONDED?) Not to mention the un...helpfulness (I guess) of their support.
Slack was great when it was new, because it was better in someway than everything else out there. Mind you not the same way for everything, but in some way it was better than most, if not all other options avaliable at the time.
That is not the case now. There are other options that are as good, or better. Slack MUST have been aiming for that 'fuck-you' size the entire time, because once they hit critical mass, they seemingly immediately stopped trying to be better, and started trying to be the one you were already paying; a serious downgrade in my opinion.
So coding in one language is a BIT of a red herring.
It only works if the paradigms your app uses are the same in the front and back. And I have nott seen a project where the KIND of problems that need solving (in the front vs back) were close enough for the same language to be a benefit.
I mean at the end of the day, I can build a house with JUST a screwdriver, but man, I'd rather use the right tool fot the specific job.
I don't see where it is canceled. The closest thing I see to canceled, is postponed.
From the update:
'We will not activate user level product usage tracking on GitLab.com or GitLab self-managed before we address the feedback and re-evaluate our plan.'
To the extant that the local news knows anything, it is being reported here that the water will be returned to circulation (for lack of a better word) via the sewer, and its treatment cycle.
I have not used TS, but I have used Flow, which is just a typesystem for JS from Facebook.
I was never confident that the typing I was adding was doing anything other than making the Flow interpreter(for lack of a better word) happy. I had no more confidence in my code that with out it.
So I removed it.
I believe that well maintained linting rules, and good code reviews (you are doing code reviews, aren't you) give you all the same protection, and less false sense(s) of security.
Like you imply (I think), it is still just JS. I beleive you are better served by understanding that, and coding carfully.
I use a mid 2009 Core 2 Duo. I replaced the battery on it ~6 months ago. I also installed Mojave on it, and with the exception of a weird quirk where apps that do not live in the Dock do not disappear from it when you close the app, it runs fine.
It is essentially a Hackintosh, albeit a legal one, as the hardware is Apple hardware.
I do dev work on it, though it is ruby and/or javascript, not a lot of true compiling happening. But it works well.
I'd love it to be officially supported, but I mean you have to draw the line somewhere.
Edit: I forgot to mention the SSD I put in it, or the RAM I maxed out. (I did the upgrade work, I was not about to pay the premium for Apple to do it.)
1 - Slack has a terrible Electron app. I'd like to see money spent fixing that over buying more talent for some odd integration between my email and my work chat.
2 - Astro was great, it met all my needs/wants in an email client.
Point 2 is really the gotcha here. Astro snoozes, allows using the gmail keyboard shortcuts, supports maOS and iOS, and most importantly, implements the Office365 api directly. (As opposed to the typical Exchange and/or IMAP tunnels most clients use.)
The company I work for either through mandate, or just letting IT do stuff (I don't know which), has disabled IMAP access AND Exchange access to our Office365 Instance. BUT I can use the api.
Astro and Polymail both fit the bill.
I liked Astro better. I immediately thought about going to Polymail, but they have gone subscription. (I don't have a problem paying for an email client, but once should be enough, thanks you.)
I run Hyper on my laptop, with iTerm on my external display.
Hyper is split vertically 33/67 and horizontally 50/50. I run normal command-line stuff in the small panes (git, curl, etc), and my node/ruby servers in the larger.
I run tmux/vim in iTerm.
Something about my tmux, or vim setup didn't play particularly well in Hyper. The end result was cusor movement in Hyper/tmux/vim was painfully slow.
Perception is reality. And it seems the perception is that Gahergate is a group of harrasors. You (not you personally) saying it is not will not change that perception.
It seems to me that if you want Gamegate to be taken seriously (though I think it is way to late for that) Gamergate needs to start cleaning out it ranks.
Which highlights the real issue. Gamergate has no central entity. So there are going to be people harrassing under the banner of Gamergate, and you can’t do anything about it. The name is tarnished, full stop. It will be almost impossible for Gamergate to do any good now, assuming it ever wanted to good!
The iPhone 5 was the perfect size, and I miss that form factor. But The camera is what sells me the device.
