In case anyone's curious and got down to the embedded YouTube video in the code, it's an Arabic-titled video of a screen recording of a Facebook video (further evidence of the author's technical prowess) of two Israelis in a place undergoin

Seems pretty absurd to think that they'll be actively supporting a product for another decade without putting out any new releases... then again Microsoft and I have never seen eye-to-eye about how to sunset and subsequently retire software

Huh, I thought we established that the fusion drive didn't use the same basic cache idea as Intel SRT? There was an Ars article[1] that came out shortly after the new FDs did that did a lot of actual digging and came to the conclusion that,

I definitely agree with your thoughts on this, but I guess I wanted to add that Linux most definitely _does_ have human interface guidelines -- they're just not the same for every flavor of Linux under the sun. Granted a lot of Linux apps t

I have the opposite experience. I have no incentive to use new networks -- all my friends are on Facebook. Facebook is actually very good at (at least in my experience) showing me information from friends that I'm actively being friendly wi

If you mean the web page at heroku.com, I'd assume that was only momentary while they gave it a facelift. It's up fine for me and so have my heroku apps which i've been using all day. status.heroku.com also seems clean. I think you just cau

This is me, all the time. I have awful vision yet never wear glasses unless I absolutely need them. Glad to know I'm not alone ;)

I'm in the same boat. While I definitely appreciate Backbone for what it tries to be (and it excels at that, in my experience), I find myself somewhat unsure at times if I'm deviating too much from best practices. Not that I need someone to

I've been using the 2012 MBA near daily since it came out. I have definitely noticed that the magsafe feels significantly weaker than it should, but I think it's simply a matter of Apple not cranking up the magnetism. There is nothing inher

Actually, it is in considerably wide use for desktop linux applications. It definitely has tangible benefits as well -- it promotes the clear separation of app data and user configuration, and unclutters the home folder. And as pointed out

I'm not sure it lends itself to such contrived examples. A more useful comparison would be the use of backbone to build an entire web app (a small one). Backbone has a number of components and it's not exactly like you can have a three-line

Cool idea, but at least for me (2012 13" MacBook Air), scrolling smoothness suffers slightly (yet noticeably). I wonder how it performs on iOS/Android devices?

Looks interesting, particularly for smaller apps that don't need the whole dnode protocol exposed. I think that's their target use case. Also, I was kind of surprised that the project logo was a skeleton judging from the project description

+100, I've been on the verge of writing something like this for months now. I dunno about Windows and OS X, but Linux doesn't have any native clients. I've been using https://github.com/agirbal/JMongoBrowser for my desktop mongodb query/a

I'm not so sure that's true -- style guides are just as important internally, even with only a few designers. I just don't think they intended this to be public. But certainly it isn't uncommon for a company or design/development shop to ha

Ohh, so this is what became of Convore. I remember hearing Leah Culver talk about it in some DjangoCon vidoes, and I've seen grove.io around as well, but didn't make the connection between the two. Looks solid though -- the business model s

Really? I've played around with GNOME Shell a few times, but recently I've been seriously considering using it for my laptop because I would like to get the most real-estate-optimized modern GUI possible on there. Right now I'm running Pant
