Agreed, it would be nice if the eslint module swallowed javascript linting errors for you... Also, would be cool if it defaulted to using an in-module copy of eslint with the airbnb preset as it's default if no eslint config file is found in the project/workbench.
The beauty of ESLint is that you can override it with your own settings. So you can use the AirBnB setting as the base and override the things that you want.
I know that, but I still think it's way too opinionated to be a base. My linter shouldn't annoy me by forcing me to do things that make my code less legible (like enforcing arrow-body-style) out of the box.
Actually, even IE10 has a fairly usable flexbox implementation, it's just based on a draft spec, so the property names and values are a bit weird.
Just avoid the old webkit draft (the only reason you'd consider it these days is for old <4.4 android phones) if you're working toward backwards compatibility, it's not worth the pain.
You can always find ways to monetise an operating system. Some possibilities include:
* add products/referral links to os search results (like ubuntu lenses)
* add ads to the base operating system (like kindle's sponsored homescreen)
* sell spots for default search providers (like bing for siri)
And you target old phones by providing them with an upgrade path to cyanogen mod based on a more modern android version. Many devices are technically fully capable of running modern android versions but have been abandoned by their manufacturers.
This is exactly why I slowly shifted my amazon purchases to their prime-now app.
With that service, Amazon seems to only offer the most successful, products in each category, significantly reducing the burden of choice it puts on me.
It also does not include products of third party sellers, which decreases the risk of accidentally buying knock offs.
The experience of buying e.g. Apple accessories on Amazon's main website is horrible, on prime now it is effortless and safe.
>decreases the risk of accidentally buying knock offs...now it is... safe.
I'm not sure it really decreases the risk that much, maybe some. With stickerless commingled inventory a third party seller can easily mix their fakes in with the real products and those fakes can end up "sold and shipped by Amazon."
>German knife maker Wüsthof recently told its authorized distributors that come June 30, they can no longer store its products in Amazon's warehouses, because the manufacturer doesn't want the merchandise commingled with items from unauthorized third-party sellers, said Todd Myers, vice president of sales at Wüsthof-Trident of America Inc.
>Authorized Wüsthof distributors may still sell through Amazon, they just can't use its fulfillment service, meaning they have to ship purchases themselves to customers. Wüsthof itself stopped selling its knives directly to Amazon around two years ago, according to Mr. Myers.
Is there anything more stupid that they do than pool merchandise? I've heard a horror story about a DVD reseller who was foolish enough to do that, an "equivalent" pirated unit was shipped to a customer, which prompted Amazon to cancel his account and force him to pay money he couldn't afford to either ship the inventory back or destroy it (Amazon is very sensitive to media piracy, I've gathered, with their video service I guess they have to be, which suggests to me they should have stayed more focused).
>I sent in 14. 14 were received, 1 was lost and 1 was found. How many should have? 14. How many does Amazon say I should have? 11. How many units do I actually have? 9
> Now, to Amazon's credit, the first screenshot was taken a couple of days ago. The newest reconciliation correctly shows that I have 9 units but once again does not accurately reflect how they got to 9 when I sent in 14. Of course, I have no reimbursement for these units because they aren't lost according to the system.
Commingling items is actually optional for sellers. I commingle some select items in my inventory. Commingled inventory allows Amazon to ship faster (ship from the closest warehouse) so they benefit from it in a way but its pretty bad that there's no accountability when inventory is commingled, that doesn't seem to bother Amazon. I wonder how many people who get a counterfeit recognize it as such and complain? I would probably assume many people would just think it's just a crappy product.
They also don't offer the option to intercept returns before placing them back in your inventory. Intercepting returns is important to make sure the item is still in sellable condition. They will in theory tell you if an item isn't sellable but that often doesn't work out from what I heard, Amazon will put returned items that have been used back in your inventory as new and then dock you when you sell the item again (and it is inevitably returned again).
My take away from this article is that the notification center on a phone OS should really take the cues from messaging apps and experiment with providing a more meaningful thread-based way of displaying notifications with more information than red bubbles with numbers and a better way to act on them than just launching the associated app.
Endzeitstimmung - Feeling that the end of the world is near.
What a great word. Endzeit being composed of the nouns Ende (end) and Zeit (time) which form the word Endzeit, wich is the time when the world ends. And then composed with Stimmung (feeling).
There are probably not many tech companies who would turn down an internship applicant with this guy's résumé. So, yes, no puzzle to be pieced together here.
Same. Especially with items like Apple accessories, this is really starting to hurt Amazon's reputation.
Most of the reviewers for those products complain about receiving knock-off products and have no clue that they need to select the ones sold directly by Amazon to get the original one.
