I just looked at the Spark wiki page[1], and Sizzle is a dependency (although they say it can be removed if you're willing to ignore IE 7). So it is separable, but might not be that small depending on your audience. [1] https://github.com/

If you go with SQS, keep in mind it doesn't guarantee that messages will be received exactly once[1]. I've used SQS for large projects and this was killer because we had to implement message locking ourselves to prevent messages from being

Real-time is just a feature and it's here to stay. The problem is the amount of data available has exploded and the algorithms to sort/filter that data haven't caught up yet. But they will. Take, for example, Facebook Top News. The benefit

He mentions regularly helping people and then doesn't mention it in the context of how Buffer makes people happy. It's probably assumed, but worth saying: if you're working at a startup, one of the best (maybe the best) feeling is your user

To draw an analogy, whether server-side/client-side JavaScript frameworks will become the next RoR is like guessing whether Facebook will ever be able to monetize the way people think it might. It seems like it should be possible, but it do

While they might not get it correct the first time, I'd expect MA to be very aggressive in adopting and promoting new technologies that have obvious/clear values to its constituents. The current governor, Deval Patrick, has put forward a cl

Random question: Is it silent on Mars? I'm looking at this picture and can't help but wonder what it sounds like. Just curious if Martian weather tends to be windy or calm.

Not to commercialize the conversation, but this Nike ad (pretty creative IMO) speaks well to this issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsXRj89cWa0 . The problem with this post is it says nothing about what the alternative is. I guess it's

> They care about saving money and saving time, in that order. I don't think this is true. For most businesses saving time is more important than saving money, but with a big caveat. Your service needs to actually save me time, not save

This is a hard question to answer in the abstract. What are the top 2-3 questions you want to answer? If it's about understanding the users of your app and what they look like, GA probably wouldn't be a good choice even if you didn't have a

Tangential, but ever since browsers started to implement the behavior: if a select is selected and start typing, it automatically starts matching options, I don't mind them as much. It's a feature for power users and there are definitely ca

The other way to look at it is "resign yourself to doing it." It's amazing how easy thing become when you just decide they must happen. I made the decision that I don't go to work until I've gone for a jog in the morning and it's amazing ho

The funny thing about the problems stated at the top is I could imagine seeing a job posting today (maybe even from IBM) with the same problems and thinking, "Wow, I have no idea how I'd go about solving those problems." It makes me wonder

It's been said many times before, but getting exercise while doing a startup is a must. It's like saying you should use LESS/SASS instead of coding CSS. You just won't believe how much better it is until you actually try it for a while. For

Wow, looks like 50% use vim/emacs daily. As a regular Textmate user, I don't have any issues with my workflow, but I have to ask. I use vim/emacs when I do devops, but I don't think I'd want it to be my regular editor. Might be a matter of

Not to take a thing away from Reddit, but there are a lot of bored people out there and they don't know that many great places on the internet. To compound that, mobile devices have created more time when you can be doing something else (i.
