You might be conflating Angular with Javascript. I can't blame you given its coverage on HN.

Yeah, fair enough. I just went into the post expecting less boilerplate.

So basically: "I do not have a comment at this time." That's fine and all. But not very newsworthy.

You can change the TextEdit preferences to always open files up as plain text instead of rich text if this annoys you, by the way.

Search is great with iOS for the messages you already have, but it doesn't work at all for "continue search on the server". If the Gmail app fixes that, it's a major feature.

I eventually came around to doing the same thing on my domain after about a decade of web development work, too. I wonder how many other web developers have spartan pages like this.

That's a fair point. But it's still probably preferable to them using their talents to design increasingly convoluted financial instruments for ripping off suckers ... which is the other thing the most talented members of this generation se

The problem with this technique is that it will not work for large numbers (in my build of node, for example, the largest number it will work with is 2^31 - 1: (Math.pow(2, 31) - 0.1) // base number 2147483647.9 ~~(Math.pow(2, 31)

I think the idea is that being curt is a mild evil that is tolerable if the information contained has a high probability of being valuable. But if the person being curt (or even rude) has no particular bearing/merit in the listener/reader's

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. This is only one side of the coin. The other side is a server that will answer all of those requests.

Yes, this is possible. If you do capability detection by checking to see if window.history.pushState exists, then you can configure RouteMap.handler to be tied to history events. Otherwise, you can set the prefix by calling RouteMap.prefix(

This language seems an awful lot like JavaScript, except you can set default values for arguments, all arguments get passed in via an object literal, and "function" is called "^" Oh yeah, and no semicolons.

Here's my comment below with direct quotations from that article. If you're going to argue that I'm being nebulous, then you should perhaps have read the article a little more carefully. As for "scoring political points", I'm pointing out w
