I use that FF extension and have no complaints. The best thing I can say about it is that I never notice it, but it always does seem to put me on smile.

Why would this cause problems? Order is irrelevant in JSON. "An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs."[0] From a there is absolutely no difference between {"name": "Patrick", "age": 24}

Thanks for correcting me. I'm still just dipping my toe into erlang and forgot that there were two different versions. (And thanks to lambdadmitry for the additional insight.)

Actually, I just looked at the source and it looks like they're using ETS the built-in database in Erlang.

This looks really interesting. How are you writing the data to disk? I don't see exactly what you're doing in the article. Are you just writing the data to files directly or is there some sort of DB in there? From what I've s

Looks like the briefing already happened. Does anyone know if a recorded version is available anywhere yet?

That actually seems to be a different presentation, although one seems to have taken one or two slides from the other near the beginning.

This is a great idea. I was joking with my coworkers that job hunting is just like dating. I had briefly considered setting up something like this before I remembered that my project list was already too long. I'm getting a: "We&#

Is this actually available? There aren't any links to it in the post and I can't find anything by logging into my account.

Am I the only one that sees this as somewhat promising? They've become a massive target because of all the recent news with apple pay and whatnot, so it's not that surprising that there are people attacking them and all that was s

I wonder if they could do some intelligent parsing of the content and just return a plain text version of what the user requests. It wouldn't work for everything, but for things where there are articles with a defined "content&quo

Well, they did all of those things with the Nspire stuff, but for whatever reason it hasn't become as popular as the 84/89. http://education.ti.com/en/us/products/calculators/graphing-...

At least in the non-food printers, it's printed in color. They use dyes mixed into the binder and print it out exactly like an inkjet printer does.

Aside from the fact that this reads like an advertisement, I completely agree with the premise. I haven't used shampoo in about two and a half years. I do "wash" my hair with just water once or twice a week and will occasiona

Call me old fashioned, but I'm going to suggest learning C. It's one of the smaller languages around so you'll be quickly able to get past the "learning the language syntax" stage and into the "learning to prog

Basically, it's: 1. Client makes a request, somehow indicating that it wants to do long polling (url, header, etc.). 2. Server receives the request, but does not reply, the socket is left open. 3. An event occurs, then the server final

Sure, I work for Exosite[1]. I'm mostly curious about this because we're working on getting something similar into our API right now (the subscribe part, scripting has been there for awhile now) and I've been thinking a lot a

Full Disclosure: I work for a competitor of theirs as an embedded engineer. Question for any bug labs people. How are you guys running the alert code? I assume it's something long the lines of a node sandbox that just runs the bit of J

I know what you mean about the tracking and that's actually part of the reason I think this method makes more sense. Something that's been in my head, but not put down anywhere is the idea of applications registering domains. Whic

Yep, I over counted the bytes in the AltBeacon spec, but I still think that a URI-based beacon would be very beneficial. I'm not saying that it needs to fit into the iBeacon or AltBeacon specs, I'm just commenting that I think we&

Can anyone explain why a random beacon ID is better than just using something like a URL? That would provide not only uniqueness with an existing and fair registry, but also an implicit way of getting basically unlimited information about a

A friend of mine actually made something kind of like that: https://github.com/danslimmon/oscar Instead of using RFID, it's using barcodes. It's a little more manual, but same basic concept.

Probably not. It doesn't seem to have any Ethernet ports for a start. I think it's aimed more at being a wifi-enabled device that can do somewhat more complicated things locally.
