As someone that worked at that exact office for many years and then thankfully got out of that rat race I can sympathize with someone being exposed to the culture that exists there. Generally people work ridiculous hours because they want t

I disagree. I would rather see examples of Promises in pure Javascript. It is the more general approach and not everyone uses jQuery.

So if almost anyone can do anything if they really wanted to, then applying your logic - no one would do anything.

I would imagine that the analogue nature of the brain is going to always entail a lot of approximation on simulation. I am not sure you could even accurately simulate even 1 neuron. Disclaimer: this is completely out of my field - just a la

I tend to agree that the award should go to Snowden, mainly because he knew fully of the potential consequences to himself and yet still chose to reveal the information.

"Apparently you've never tried gentoo." and this right here (sorry Parent, just using this as an example) is the reason that Linux has always been consigned to the ranks of the also-rans on the desktop. Someone will always

"but no one responds. (... Perhaps I didn't write the email very well...) :)" I think you would have done a lot better asking just 1 specific, targeted question that could be answered in a sentence. Successful people are ge

Well well, a couple of people are starting to wake up. I was nearly despairing that the impact of what Snowden was saying would be lost in the snowstorm the government was trying to create to obscure his message by attacking the man. It see

In 10 years you could say exactly the same thing, except that: - Perl 6 will STILL be in development - You just lost 10 years of development experience and related marketability because now all those fad-du-jour systems are established indu

Ok so what is your advice? You spend a great deal of time saying how lousy his advice is, but don't come up with much in the way of alternatives... If I was uncharitable I could easily construe your behaviour as being bullying. You att

On the contrary, it is incredibly good advice, just incredibly hard to follow. People do care about what others think of them, but you are always, absolutely always, going to come across people that disagree/hate what you do and how

Zynga is one of the worst company's for ripping off other people. If ever there was a company whose grave I wanted to dance on, then Zynga would be it.

The game programming industry is pretty well known as being the "sweat shops" of the tech industry. Not at all surprised about this story.

I have been quite interested in using fibres. I have concerns about compatibility with existing libraries, stability etc. Could you point to some documentation/discussion/blogs/anything that addresses these concerns and provi

I don't begin to understand the US health system (I live in the UK with its National Health), but didn't Obama try bring in compulsory health insurance to counteract just this sort of thing and it was defeated?

You could argue that the Desktop PC has evolved - it is now the Tablet. Perhaps it is more correct to say it is more a branching that has occurred.

Can this be used for node.js development? If so, any example projects out there?

The fire is probably not related to the battery as the main battery is located near the cockpit, with another in the middle of the plane. This fire seemed to have occurred near the tail. PDF showing battery locations: http://www.

I played EVE intensely for a few months, fairly soon after the game came out. I stopped because it is not a game you can succeed at without being part of a corp. Effectively you have a "boss" in game that tells you what you need t

This is a spiteful and misogynistic comment - you do yourself and this community, a large disservice.

Hi Domenic, Thanks for those links - I will check them all. There is another one of yours (co-speaker) that I thought was excellent: Redemption from Callback Hell ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf1T_AONQJU )

I have just started doing development in Node.js. Originally using the excellent caolan/async library ( https://github.com/caolan/async ) for handling synchronous situations. Now started moving towards Promises but

As a non mathematician the most surprising for me is that 1 is not a prime number. It still feels like a kludge because it produces inconvenient results to have 1 a prime - so let's just exclude it.

I have never used Go or Clojure, but this is the first time I have heard of Go as being verbose - or is that just in comparison to Clojure?

How does one get a complete list of all packages and descriptions from Bower?

by SeanDav 13y ago
Good work. A few observations: It does mention quite a few node.js projects but is missing a few very popular node.js libraries like caolan/async and misses mentioning a few Javascript libraries that work well both under node as well a
