   It's weird jQueryUI hasn't implemented touch events for dragging yet. Here's an example using YUI: http://www.orangebits.nl/code/gallery-slidecheckbox/gallery-...

   It's not about languages. With a certain level of experience languages can be learned to a useful point in a weekend. The problem is the knowledge of the platform, the APIs, the problems each platform has, which parts you should use, which

   I think you were just confused with their definition of "obvious". Something obvious is something that can be made with a combination of existing patents.

   And that's because design, when done right, is obvious.

   Your app has a lot of potential! Nice use of Bootstrap too. Oerfect use case for Scrollspy. It'd be nice if it allowed you to create a plan for a whole week. It could even give you a shopping list.

    I really like how writing little tools like this in Node is so simple: node -e require('request')('http://www.asdf.com/').pipe(process.stdout)

    Strict mode should save you from a lot of those. (function () { 'use strict'; var a = 1; b = 2; }()); // ReferenceError: b is not defined

    I'm surprised no one considers that single page apps can still work without breaking hypertext. HTML5 history lets you do that and fall back to full pages. Just look at what GitHub does in their repo view.

    I see that happening to Chrome as well. Freezes for seconds doing intensive hard drive work.

    And JavaScript is looking good for casual numerical analysis, mostly because you can very easily create UIs with dynamic plots that you can publish.

    The previous article on the subject explains what "structure, sequence and organisation" means for copyright, patents and APIs: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4050490 (and the first comment by grellas is also highly recommended)

    Wow! The infinite scrolling feature just made me a lot less productive at work. I used to just look at the homepage... Feature suggestion: could you add a different link to the discussion page? Something more prominent and easier to click?

    I actually ran into code once that had a variable named "position" (totally common name) and then used "with" on a node's style property to set another style based on the value of this "position" variable. Instant bug. It took me a while to

    A lot of people think playability = gameplay = fun (more precisely _their_ concept of fun). Games are very personal. People take them personally, for some reason think their way of having fun is the only way, and are very vocal about it.

    I think they're still missing the point. The idea is to stop using jQuery like that. Think of it as another required module of your application and move everything to requireJS. You'll gain speed and peace of mind once you learn to modulari

    Yes, but unless I'm mistaken I think lithium is not mined in open-pit mines but in salt evaporation ponds. Activism is focused on open-pit mines at the moment. It's also worth mentioning that the plan in Argentina is to produce batteries an
