Sometimes the actual deletion must occur before a mistake is realized. I have often seen undo implemented as a 'soft' delete which means the read-side needs to be 'undo aware'. Sometimes undo is implemented by backing

My favorite is ShiftIt. It doesn't do mouse drag but its open-source and has hotkeys - [ctrl+option+cmd+{left|right|up|down}] https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt Another useful utility is RightZoom which makes th

The yui library has an interesting concept of cleint-side modules. They were able to consolidate a lot of their widget code during the rewrite of yui2 to yui3. I'm also excited to see what the Meteor team comes up with for their v1.0 r

Just to add another data point, we've been using a 4GB cloud server in the Dallas datacenter for 9 months now and it has been solid. (Solid meaning works as expected, no outages/problems.) Maybe we lucked out with who else is sha

One nice little extra is that your cursor doesn't even have to be inside the string for the command to work.

Thank you for writing this. Keeping the target audience in mind, one thing you may want to consider is telling people how to stop the node server once its started (CTRL-C).

Re: learning resources, I found the book "Clojure Programming" by Chas Emerick, Brian Carper, and Christophe Grand to be excellent. http://www.clojurebook.com/ After reading through that, the exercises at http:&#

Foreign citizens have a very powerful ally when being spied on by the U.S. government: your own government. When the U.S. government is spying on its own citizens, who do we have to turn to?

Forgive me if this is naive but I thought the way it's supposed to work is that you pick a phd advisor/program whose goals/research match your interests. External funding means there will always be some compromise but couldn&

I believe this gets to the heart of why Americans are (and should be) disturbed about programs like PRISM. When the US spies on a foreign citizen, the full weight of that citizen's government is there to protect their interests. When

Definitely annoying to have to reset pw frequently but the shorter passwords part can be avoided by using a secure pw db like keepass (keepassX on Mac). Storing the db file on dropbox makes it very convenient. Throwaway pw aside, you reall

Not really a case study but my sister went from never having coded, middle-school math teacher to junior consultant at ThoughtWorks in 5 months via DevBootCamp. TW may be a bit unusual though in that they are willing to train you for a year

Nice work! I could certainly see how it could lower the barrier to entry for non-English speakers when trying to learn programming. My brother-in-law, for example, has been having a hard time with English but could probably pick up Javasc

My understanding is that this is all about reserved words. It is a reverse mapping of (English) javascript reserved words from their non-English translations.

Speaking from personal experience of having watched Schindler's List in a high-school history class, it certainly is possible to see 'R' rated films in US schools if the teacher wants to show them. Not sure if that's specific to the state

Thank you for the explanation. I think your view of their position, that teenagers will not be adversely affected by exposure to the language is a better interpretation than how I took it when I read the article. Wishful thinking it may be

That is why 'bullies' was in quotes. We don't know who said the words that the MPAA had a problem with and perhaps it wasn't even the bullies using the offensive language. The point is that, according to the article, the counter-argument

A tough situation but based on the info in the article, I have to side with the MPAA on this one. They say the R rating is due to the language used and the counter-argument is that high-schoolers are the ones using this language so it shou
