The point of it is that it would be best if I only have to pay one provider for cloud storage, not multiple, especially when I have so much storage available for me on Dropbox. Entitled? No. Annoyed when yet another service wants to provide

I hope more software comes out that use Dropbox for storage. I want an Instagram for Dropbox, a music locker with a player for Dropbox, a Skitch for Dropbox, an Xmarks bookmark sync for Dropbox. One Password, Hackpad, O'Reilly Media, and no

When Experts Exchange does this, everyone loathes and ridicules this, but some how Quora is better? It is the same tactic. For a time I found the community on Quora enjoyable, but the site is aimless, demands too much like real names, makes

What is the latency like developing in vim over ssh? I would find the little bit of wait with each key stroke annoying quickly.

What happened between 1998 and 1999 that flipped the percentage so dramatically in favor of IE? Was it all the new people joining the internet for the first time who simply clicked the blue e instead of installing netscape or did people aba

Eventually everyone's editor search ends with vim, emacs or a management position. All these editors like Sublime Text 2, Chocolat, Light IDE, Cloud9, etc fail at very basic task: sticking around. They also fail at another task: being avail

Nope, because: (engineer * number of engineers) - (average monthly payment * number of customers) < 0 An engineer's salary at a small startup is at the very least $50,000, let's just round that down to $5,000 a month, so how long do you

Operating word being "believe", which is basically "guessing". Unless there's data and demonstrable things that work, this is hogwash.

The Neverending Story reference to Atreus seeing the Rock Eater after losing his friends to the Nothing was a huge flash back moment for me. Very well done.

This isn't related to the question that your parent comment asked. That comment was asking why the Amazon and Apple map products are mobile-only, with no website component. Not sure how a comment about embedding Google maps has anything to

It's weird that one can't easily find any links to their github page from the site. Here it is: https://github.com/jstat/jstat I almost thought they weren't on GitHub.

It can't seem to create or open JavaScript files. How does one use it with Django?

It's a place where data is stored. Wikipedia says "A database is a structured collection of data." I think redis qualifies given that description, but I agree it's different enough to raise eyebrows if someone referred to it as their "datab

I suspect the police department used a document disposal company, and this company took advantage of an opportunity to supply some organization at the parade with paper and simply ignored the security requirements of their customers. Given

Cool, although I remember when the Dojo Book was the primary documentation for Dojo Tookit before there was any reference. It was quite a frustrating experience. While books like these are useful, the book format is not a great main source

What's wonderful about science is that the facts don't change just because someone doesn't understand them or misrepresents them. It's just the cold hard truth of our universe. Regardless of what anyone says or wants, the world is as it is.

Flot actually leaks quite a bit. We use flot at work and I had to hack the code to keep it from leaking. It doesn't leak as bad as NVD3, but it leaks. You will see it never surrenders the canvas element if you call shutdown on it if you che

My comment history is more varied I think. My development environment runs a lot of stuff, so even if running two vm's at once were realistic, it wouldn't be.

As I mentioned simply using d3 should be good enough. I have not found a chart library that cleans up after itself. You can take a look at the "basic charts" section: https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Gallery

My development environment runs on a VM. You can't run multiple VMs on a host. I actually didn't want to reply to you because of your sarcasm. Also your comment history is very windows focused.

NVD3 leaked memory terribly. For us creating and removing a small number of charts quickly ate memory in the tens of megabytes. While the code was readable, it was not a very efficiently written library. I also took issue with how it used a

Others have already mentioned the probably slow pace of IE updates. Another thing I'll mention is that testing IE requires Windows, and I haven't worked at a place in years where anyone on my team was using Windows. Years. I've worked at As

I disagree with abandoning one statement var declarations. This will bite you. A variable declared with var is in scope for the entire function because of hoisting. It's also just bad form because of how people write Javascript, for example
