Nice, I should have read that. Thanks for the correction. I should read the article again more seriously.

How much has this author worked in open source? Getting a patch into Linux is pretty damn high-context, indeed git was created specifically as a way for Linus to manage a network of trust instead of just a sea of patches.

No, jQuery.extend copies properties. It is not the same as CoffeeScript's extend, which uses prototypal inheritance as well as copying static properties.

Thanks for posting the video! Do you have any knowledge of the technical details? I only know a bit about inferno and am specifically wondering: - is there support for mounting a filesystem accessed via ad-hoc wireless with another Android/

This is actually the thing I miss the most from my graduate days. JSTOR is a gold mine of wonderful knowledge: you can search for any word you like and instantly be connected with hundreds of years of very intelligent scholarship. You acqui

Can you comment on what you liked about the Psion? I'm afraid I never saw one and from photos I'm unclear how the interface worked. I'm currently doing research on the history of mobile UI and this is a big hole I hadn't thought about.

The problem isn't just the power or closed ecosystem, it's the form-factor. Try typing in code, or even just shell commands, with any soft keyboard. Unfortunately, we need too many symbols for it to work. So the real problem is building a m

Presumably the median figures are different, and the standard deviation much different. Those numbers would be more telling when it comes to the pay of low-skilled industrial workers.

You can use a heap snapshot in Chrome Dev Tools. It has a handy feature where you take multiple snapshots and it shows you the differences in memory usage between them. See: http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/docs/heap-profiling.h...

This is all true. But people might be more convinced by the bigger reason: developer productivity. The module pattern boils down to trying to bring the ideas of privacy from Java into JavaScript. Java has good tools (IDEs) for interacting w

Just a shout out to Apple Recycling. This is not a "bring in your old computer, get $10 off" promotion. They will give you serious money for your ageing Apple hardware. Bought a new iMac last year, a third of the cost being paid by my three

The entire conversation here is missing the distinction between "environment" and "program." The real advantage of the command-line environment is that it adopts a tool-centric, rather than application-centric approach. Instead of opening W

Idea: mount a Kinect on a robotic arm, then hooked up the servos to the Kinect's human movement detection so that the Kinect can follow you moving through a large space. Hmm, what could I do with that?

This is an excellent point. In the process of doing research I came across these ideas. The difficult part is it's easy to find and disassemble split "ergonomic" keyboards with staggered keys. But I can't find a straight keyboard that uses

I was going to say something else, but I thought, people should just say their dreams, even if they sound crazy, and maybe they'll find someone who can make it happen. So here goes: I have a particular dream to open up an Android tablet; ge

In the last few weeks I've tinkered with the idea of doing hardware hacking. This and the plug-computers look like they have an interesting future. Where do you start to learn to hack real hardware? (I can do Arduino stuff, but seems like t

I would like to preempt the inevitable "but Apple doesn't do user testing" argument by saying something. There are two known ways to make good products. One is to hire a large team of excellent designers and design managers, relentlessly de

This is surely one of the most beautiful sites I have seen in a long time. Of course, it would be nice if the period font were done in css3 rather than images, and if the interactive bits were html5 rather than flash, but putting technologi

Can someone who knows something about geology comment: is it normal for semi-large earthquakes to be correlated like this? When we went to Google News, the first thing we found were other earthquakes in Colorado and off Indonesia.

A few notes: a. this is awesome b. the "documentation" link halfway down the homepage goes to an anchor tag that doesn't exist, rather than the actual documentation page. At first I thought there just were no docs, and I was disappointed. c

Yeah, I am really interested in this question: how do mobile computers become capable of much faster data input and more fine-grained control than the current point-and-grunt interfaces. I had a crazy idea for strapping a keyboard to the ba

There is one hole in this line of thought. All of those mobile devices, all of the "social spaces": where do they get planned, designed, and programmed? On desktops. Until we have a mobile device powerful enough that you could use it to bui

zsh has an extensible command/expansion system much like what you are asking for, allowing users to implement plugins documenting how to autocomplete commands, options, and data types passed to options (files, yes/no, etc.). It is fantastic

It's especially interesting because this same idea is also responsible for saving Rails 3's ass from being far slower than Rails 2. Read through this discussion of how Rails 3 queries were sped up by using an AST decoupled from its final us

If this is true, it's hard to see how it counts as optimization. Try/catch is very expensive in all js environments.

Has anyone successfully done this in an office environment? I love my standing desk (actually just a bookshelf) at home, but have a hard time picturing how it would work with surrounding coworkers sitting down.

I would love to see serious developer tools integrate the new file/state APIs creatively. - Will it be possible to populate the list of previous file versions from another source, like a git or svn repo? - Could the application state API in
