Sure, but I bet it gets pulled in a lot where projects really aren't JS projects. For example, my python mongoDB library is "25% javascript" but it's all in the generated documentation: https://github.com/jeffjenkins/MongoAlchemy/graphs/l

I went to the example room on UW chat, but I got "connection error. trying again..." Glad to see this happening though, as a UW alum!

I wrote code to do this in python for a project. The biggest problem I ran into was that if you wanted the full history of X/Y/Z.json to contain the full history of Z.json, even if it had been moved, it ended up requiring two parallel stru

They've previously done that with Opera alphas and betas. I don't know if they're doing it consistently, though.

I don't think I've seen the same degree of this with Microsoft before. Is the difference that FB and Google are both in Silicon Valley and so there's very low friction moving from one to the other?

Tab changing shortcuts were in the release notes, the indenting change was not. You can see in the release notes that were pasted elsewhere in this thread.

As a warning, TM removed the opt+tab and opt+shift+tab keyboard shortcuts in this point release (they're now cmd+[ and cmd+]). I was able to get one of them working via keyboard preferences, but the other was inserting literal tab characte

Is that article a sufficient summary of the innovator's dilemma, or is it still worth reading the book?

I switched back from 3.x to 4.1 about a week after 4.1 came out, and the slowness has been almost unnoticable. And I've now been on 4.1 longer than 4.0, so I haven't degraded.

Does anyone know where that would place it in terms of all operating systems? It seems like the number of mobile and non-mobile devices should be converging pretty quickly (for consumers, at least).

I wrote one of these for a project. The trouble is that to write functioning python code, even for just the primitives, you have to add a lot of extra scaffolding. I eventually stopped working on it since Pyjamas seemed to be doing a much

When did they do that? I first saw it in Opera, and that was years before the other browsers had it.

I work in the same office as the makers of MongoDB, and they're an open source startup. I have no idea whether or how much money they're making.

Gaia Online, an internet forum and game community, has been using a virtual currency for most, if not all, of those things since 2002 or 2003. The one exception is purchasing virtual currency with real currency, but Second Life has been do

I was really hoping for more than 2GB of memory. I frequently want my entire application stack for whatever project I'm working on, dev environment, and a windows VM running simultaneously and that already can get tight with the 4GB I have

I did a quick test with google's "Note In Reader" bookmarklet in IE8. The first time I clicked it I got an error about a pop-up being blocked. I clicked to allow the pop-up (which caused the page to refresh) and then it seems to have work

How do you know whether it was not supporting IE and a broken bookmarklet that caused your IE numbers to be so low? If I used IE and your service had a poor experience I'd probably use another bookmarking service. edit: also, if the servic

Does vim have the undo tree built in, or this this plugin also providing that functionality? I've never seen an editor which represented the history as a tree instead of a line.

Petals Around the Rose was really interesting. I couldn't figure it out until I read the line from Bill Gate's program, at which point I got it almost instantly. I don't really understand why since I already knew the name of the game, and

While I generally like the idea of this sort of tool, I do wonder to what degree having a database of politicians promises and positions could make it difficult for them to make needed compromises, or even just change their mind. It's a si

I'm interested in this kind of product, but I live in an apartment and don't have access to my electric meter (or if I do, I definitely can't install things on it). Is there something like this I could use on individual outlets?

It's worth checking out Don Norman's (the author of The Design of Everyday Things) recommended reading list: http://www.jnd.org/recommended_readings.html I have yet to choose a book from the list that didn't leave me feeling much more inf

I own The Universal Principles of Design, and it's an excellent book. Each pair of pages has a description of a principle on the left and some examples of it on the right.

Thank you for posting this with comments enabled! It's nice to be able to see Q&A about the job posts. (I'd apply, but I'm both based in NY and happily employed at another startup)
