Yeah I was surprised by lit-element as well, I wonder why it didn't get traction on HN.

As much as I liked studying there, it's not a good place to actually work as a software engineer (locally that is).

I do it like this: https://github.com/ktsn/vue-template-loader

There's also a plugin for VSCode that let's you switch between Button.js and Button.html for example.

Good intro, few nitpicks:

- it should be mentioned that components have to return data as a function [0]

- v-for should ideally be used with keys [1]

[0] https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components.html#data-Must-Be-a-Fu...

[1] https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/list.html#key

One should definitely mention the vue.js docs for basics.

There are ways to use state machines in web development [0]. Couple that with TypeScript and you maybe get something like that.

New comment by hypercluster in "The Surface Book 2 is everything the MacBook Pro should be"

hypercluster — Fri, 29 Jun 2018 09:18:03 +0000

That's actually something I've changed my mind about.

Been a long time Linux user myself and kinda hated on Windows.

About a year ago I got a Macbook Air and while I appreciate the UI, that one really got in the way of working.

There's no apparent way of going up one folder in Finder and by default you don't even see full paths. Closing windows doesn't really quit the app, maximizing windows does a weird kind of maximizing, you need to install an app to get window snapping... Terminal is nice though!

Decided to give Windows a try again recently and with the WSL I don't see too much to complain about. System settings are confusing and weirdly hidden in different apps, updates are unnerving etc. yes but in terms of daily use no obstacles.

Have to use Windows at work as well and aside from updates nothing work-hindering.

Really curious how well that would work. Even two HomePods won't do real stereo because sound is supposed to be equally spread throughout the room.

But especially with movies the difference between left and right is kinda important.

Well, maybe it's just a price thing. A bigger speaker would probably have cost too much.

And while I agree that with speakers like Dali Zensors or Denon MC41s affordable solutions exist.. you'd still need an amp with airplay, calibration etc.

Also you can't just put stereo speakers on your table in the middle of the room. If there would be a good spot for them something like the airSOUND AS 30 (active speakers) would be an alternative. Plus subwoofer you'd be at the same price point.

Though there is Nativescript Vue now.

I like the simplicity of React though I don't mind the Vue templating language that much either. Sometimes I actually prefer Vue templates because with React you often see components where it's not so clear how the rendered output will look like.

New comment by hypercluster in "Ask HN: Has anyone on here built anything using Weex?"

hypercluster — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 19:38:53 +0000

Well I'm trying to build something but it's tough since there aren't a lot of english resources. Most of the articles or tutorials out there are chinese.

Right now for example I'd like to to use the iOS simulator with hot reload and can't get it to work. But yeah the basics work, so if you haven't got anything too fancy you can give it a try. If you need some special modules or something it's gonna be difficult compared to react native where you have a wealth of addons.

You could take a look at Nativescript as well. Though it's more in the early stages and of course backed by Telerik (who probably want you to sell you components or something at some point) which kinda steered me away from it.

Very cool! I'm always bummed when I read a cool book and forget nearly everything after a couple of months (especially info dense books). Thought about taking notes on paper but this is way better, though I wouldn't want the daily mail.

I've started playing Destiny 2 and wondered the same thing. There are enemies seen by me and other players at the same time.

So the enemies have to be controlled server side not locally. Also there can be (and will be) a lot of enemies around the "Destiny world" at the same time. What kind of servers do you need for that? That's not just processing HTTP requests and fetching data.

I'd really appreciate an easier way to take a dog on a flight. When my dog was brought here via plane it had to be transported in the cargo area which is just a horrible thought!

Hehe didn't want to offend, BI is still a complex field but not so heavy on the coding side. And yes if one is interested it's still surprisingly well paid and understaffed! But I'll try not to tell everyone ;)

You could also go into areas that are less code intensive. So what I mean is for example ETL where you often use visual tools to develop data integrations. It's still engineering but more approachable or less complex. Same with Business Intelligence where you maybe develop reports (also tool based).

I always was a religious RSS user and put all the interesting feeds in there. But I realized that it just becomes too much work to get to "inbox zero".

So now I have some feeds left with acceptable volume (games: Eurogamer, Polygon, Kotaku..; Apple feeds; Webcomics; Deals).

The rest I just browse throughout the day: Guardian, Arstechnica, Reddit.. Little exception for HN: I use hckrnews.com now because there I can choose whether I want to see all homepage entries or -if I don't have the time- only the top 20%. (every site should have that!)

I used to use bookmarks as well but now I just dump it into iOS Notes although I'm not fully happy with that.
