Something that most emulators have failed to achieve (and that the Start9 project[1] aims to fix) is the user experience. It's great to have a working emulator, but it's even better to have an emulator that doesn't have a lea

I'm far from being an Ember-fan, but it's still going well too, even if it doesn't have as much hype as the two poster boys. As for Angular, I feel like it's still too early to tell how it will end up - I loved Angular 1

I'm using Atom on a daily basis, alongside with Emacs. It works quite well. There's some crashs due to Samba filesystems, but apart from that I haven't had blocking issues for a few months. Maybe a single thing bothers me: th

No, Magic has already been discussed before[1]. It seems they are moving from a percentage pricing (Magic) to a per-time pricing (Magic+). [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9087819

In what mesure does a podcast compliment a proper article? As far as I see, the only thing that could be missing would be the interactivity (being able to ask question about the parts of the article that we haven't understood and that

On which parts exactly are you stuck? I've rolled with Ragel as lexer, and Lemon as parser, and it was relatively simple. [1] https://github.com/castel/libcastel/blob/master/parse/source... [2]

I've worked on a coin, and this kind of inexactitude are what make it really hard to understand how the implementation works (that, and the fact that the code was hell at the beginning). If the code uses a "less-than" operato

If you just want something to manage your game library, you can use my project, Start9.io ( http://start9.io ). We currently support GB, GBC & GBA games, and I plan to add SNES support as soon as I can spare some time. As for

Probably (or maybe by setting `null` .. i'm not sure how engines deal with changing data types). `delete` implies that the underlying object schema has to change. It's an heavy operation.

Just know that Nintendo already shutdown a lot of Pokédex apps just like yours (a friend of mine was the main dev for one of them). I don't agree with them, but I guess it would be better for you (and the project) if you couldn't

Yes and no. You can still do something like: foo(... Object.keys(dict).map(name => dict[name])) (Maybe someday you might be able to use Object.values() to achieve the exact same thing without needing to use .map) However, the sp

That's nice - I've recently made a small project to wrap Github's Gists around an open API[1] for the same use case - a small open database easily browseable -, but your project seems much more interesting - spreadsheets are

The post title is a bit misleading, then. The way I see it, it's more like a bug they fixed (since people could legitimately lose their connection and have their hint count wrong) rather than a real no-cheat policy.
