Can anyone explain why they can not get a UK bank license and migrate their customer to the UK bank?

I suspect that the main motivation is not Brexit but fiercer competition in the UK (e.g. Monzo).

I have always considered React one of the frameworks that allows you to interop with regular HTML and JavaScript the easiest. The reason being that you can easily access DOM nodes and everything is run in JavaScript anyway. This is a lot more complicated in languages where you have a template language in my own experience.

That said, document.write is kind of special since it requires JavaScript to run while the HTML document is still open (so before it fires the loaded event). There is a reason this API is barely used today and mostly superset by appendChild.

I've never experienced that. Mind sharing an example?

The JavaScript Fatigue argument is not good. There's simply no data that backs it and nobody is forced to use new libraries only because they use JavaScript.

I've seen third party dependencies churn on Elixir as well (packages that are no longer maintained or alternatives that are better) - I think it's an inherent problem with using dependencies and has nothing to do with the programming language in which those dependencies are written.

My recommendation is that you don't read Hackernoon. This seems like a very ineffective way to level up your developer skills.

Edit: I agree that Elixir is very nice and would pick it over JavaScript for backend heavy applications without thinking. I just don't think this argument makes any sense in that context.

The author works at Facebook. I'd argue that Facebook's UI is pretty complex.

I'm curious what frontend problems you have solved to be able to know that this is ridiculous and have to start a personal assault against the author of this comment?

This definitely deserves praise.

This does not look accessible. It should probably be focusable with tab navigation.

Otherwise pretty impressive.

This does not sound safe.

I'm a bit disappointed that they don't back their publication with any numbers that compare the two approaches. I don't see the scientific value of what would also be a good click-bait blog post.

I work for quite some time now with Javascript and I must say:

$('select.dropdown').dropdown('set selected', ['meteor', 'ember']);

Is the most unintuitive Javascript I've ever seen.

This is great work! I prolong learning ClojureScript for too long now - comes to the right time!

just fyi it's possible to change the commit history, so no "proof" ;)
