The root lesson here is pretty simple but important: you should usually avoid using regular expressions in places where readability and ease of update is a concern. Using a complicated one line regular expression to do all the magic is fun,

When I get my Tessel I'm going to try to implement this in 100% Node.js With the Tessel I should be able to communicate with Twilio directly from the microdevice via Wifi without needing to start up a separate server on my computer an

I see that the prices on the M3 instances dropped a bit more than the prices on the M1 instances did, so they are encouraging us customers even more to move from the older HHD based instances to the newer, faster SSD based instances.

Well that's too bad. Deep down I was really hoping that Elon Musk would buy Oculus VR so that one day I could jump into my Tesla, put on an Oculus and enjoy a VR enhanced driving experience on my way to the Space X flight to the Mars c

This is really amazing! I had a bit of trouble on my first attempt because I was connected to a VPN, so ShareDrop was considering me to be in the 10.* range (my local IP address on the VPN) while my coworker on the same router showed up in

It's just intended to be a fun hack that works surprisingly well, not a serious solution to the problem of providing support for older browsers. Although come to think of it, if all the rendering is being done on the server side, and n

For those using Node.js who are interesting in trying out BLAKE2, I found this module: https://github.com/sekitaka/node-blake2 I hasn't been touched in a year, but it looks fairly good. I may try it out soon to se

I love to read about huge, powerful clusters like this, but realistically the small startup I work for doesn't have the resources to develop, and administrate such a cluster ourselves as this developer has. I'm hoping that once th

Very nice set up. I would probably just code it to hook up to an Instagram content and scrape the images directly instead of going through Twitter though.

@cgaebel The code for your blog seems to have a race condition in it where the content is all there on the page, its just invisible, and only appears properly about 1 in 10 times. Either that or maybe your code is just hanging because I&#x2

First of all my original post was not focused on this case alone. I'm interested in the general pattern of the problem, of which this appears to be just one instance. I'm also interested in how it can be solved to increase the par

If you are interested in investigating there has been quite a few articles I've seen over the past few years on Hacker News and Reddit by female devs highlighting their experiences with how they have been treated by the dev community.

It makes me sad that a community that I'm part of and am passionate about has such negative behavior towards female members. I think it would be extremely positive for the developer community as a whole if there were more female develo

The first requirement that I look for in a data interchange format is that it should be readable, because I don't want to look at binary data responses. The second thing I look at is support for encoding and decoding it. The only three

This seems to be happening more and more often. I notice connectivity issues with Github, and/or extremely slow downloads of tarballs quite regularly (at least two or three times a week) when running deploy scripts that download vendor

From what they describe on their FAQ page they just use crafty ordering techniques and deals to save you money. They aren't necessarily parasitizing sales from Amazon and sending them elsewhere, they are just taking advantage of saving

Would it be illegal if you wanted to buy something and instead of ordering it directly by yourself you asked a friend who is an experienced shopper to order it for you? This friend just happens to have "The Price Is Right" style k

I'd say it most likely has to do with the history of US and Russia relations painting perceptions of Russia. But I've definitely noticed a fairly deliberate effort from some sources to paint the absolute worst picture of Sochi. Fo

The Prime Directive only works if you assume that these hypothetical species are much more altruistic than we ourselves are. I find it highly unrealistic that any species, however highly evolved, would be 100% altruistic, with no rebels&#x2

First of all I'm sorry to hear that you have to shut down your app, but I'm confident that things are going to work out just fine for you. I actually had a very similar experience when I was 18 as well. I decided to make a book se
