I think what he meant by do not scale well is that sshing into 1000 of your servers to manually run apt-get just don't work. apt-get is fine, it's just that at some point you need an automation tool to trigger it. A lot of chef re

Well, I don't see why Travis-CI, for example, would have to go on a paid plan to be part of the program. They are first class users of the GitHub APIs but it make no sense to be on a paid plan for them.

But it's not trivial to know that it's a date. It's ok if you are expecting a Date. But when you want to write generic code that "discover" the properties, then you have to do dirty things, like trying to parse ever

Sprockets is a frontend build tool. It works basically the same way. The main difference between sprockets and grunt / lineman / broccoli, is that sprockets do not watch files. It's a web application that compile your asset

And worse than that both are subject to concurrency issues.

Well, that depends. If you want to implement a simple `truncate`[0][1] function, then you need to count graphemes [0] http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/TextHe... [1] https://git

The thing is, when you profile a typical backbone app, with a list of view. Most of the time (IIRC 60-70% for ~20 events) is spent registering DOM event handlers. Instantiating the view itself is nothing in comparison. So registering all th

Come on, stop the French whining, and then maybe the French bashing will stop. I wont even comment the 71%, because any educated reader will understand that theses taxes do not add up like that. And even if it was true, a French engineer is

In France we do have a limited supply of taxi licences. But they are usually owned by the driver. Since they worth a lot (~250k€) and that taxi driver is a liberal profession, they acts as a retirement plan / life insurance. This is wh

It's not a trap. It's just required knowledge. Saying you're a Javascript developer without understanding the behaviour of `this`, is like saying you're a C developer without understanding what a pointer is.

Well, given the new trend of fat JS clients, if you have no clue about algorithmic complexity, you can fairly easily end with a very sluggish application, even under Chrome. I don't expect from a front-end engineer to just drop ran

Someone that did not wanted to generate syntax errors in older browsers ?

by byroot 13y ago
Yep, it took only 5 years to be implemented by one browser, and will take another 5 years to be usable in production. It was really not worth it to create wrappers.

As much as I love CORS, it unfortunately have a ton of browser compatibility quirks... And not just from IE.

Ruby ones are a bit pointless, rake, jquery-rails, sqlite3, uglifier, sass-rails and coffee-rails are all rails defaults.
