I can't tell if they are joking or really didn't pick up on this.

TL;DR: 4—hour videos yes, 4 paragraphs no.

That is almost definitely more messy looking than the alternative.

Same. This seems to be an unpopular opinion on HN though.

Yes truly a shame that they gave us a ton of files for free use but they aren't as ULTRA HD as you would like..

Simplenote gives you the ability to take notes in markdown and be able to view the rendered version by swiping right.

I'd say the one really important thing web is missing is notifications for when your not on the site. I don't really know how a browser could ever implement in a similar fashion.

I think you are being a bit overdramatic about JSX. There was zero learning curve -- except for a few errors initially when using class instead of className...

The argument that DOM.div() is more readable than <div/> is honestly hilarious to me. Any non-trivial tag structure will be unnecessarily complicated through the API. Especially when you can just write it almost exactly how it's going to look when it becomes HTML in JSX.

Sometimes it's worth it. A real pain with tables is that you can't have it be positioned relatively. So if you want to display an absolutely positioned tooltip next to a row it becomes a gigantic pain and i'd argue impossible — or extremely hacky — without using JS.

Yeah 130k being barely a living wage is an absurd thing to say. Tons and tons of people in NYC do not make 130k — even half of it would be a great salary for most — and they seem to still be living just fine.

IE8 is bad enough. IE7 sounds like torture.

It's all about the nested flex'd elements.

You are saying that in JavaScript var is made up and not to use it..?
