The Dojo is a little bit more expensive so that we can improve the space for coworkers -- stuff like buying spare monitors, desks, chairs, heating & cooling, etc. There's no overhead -- 100% of the member's cash goes into rent & imp

I've been using namespaces with path methods like namespace_resource_path in 3.0.1 without issues... I think they just made the rules for calling a route more strict since without the namespace prepended on the path method could lead to co

USB would add a huge power drain to the ipad. plus I'm not sure if most people would need it. What's wrong with bluetooth add-ons? Also, where are these cheap tablets running honeycomb? The only one I've seen available so far is the Xoom

I guess you'll have to find a new place for email when your business grows beyond 10,000 employees... When you have 10,000 employees, you could probably just get a team to author their own version of gmail.

Does it? I don't see it in mine. HN doesn't use jQuery and when I fire up my console, the $ variable is not overwritten with a jQuery object, also there is no jQuery variable available.

According to WSJ, the average developer in the bay area makes $99k: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870343950457611... So if you're making $100k, you're just making what everyone else is making :-)

Depends what kind of developer you are. If you're a developer that requires a posix environment, you're definitely better off in the mac world. Thinkpad with Linux is sometimes an option if you're confident that everything is supported, b

the '$' is just another character from the view of the javascript interpreter. It just so happens you can use A-Z, 0-9, underscore, and the dollar sign as variable names. Libraries like Prototype & jQuery have popularized using the do

you're probably misremembering -- there's a little arrow next to the update items which require a reboot, and even after installing everything, you can still choose to reboot later. I still have a system running Tiger so I don't think it'

we use it to send & receive faxes because we don't want to buy a fax machine :-) I have a small 50 line ruby script that converts attachments from emails into outgoing faxes, and a 10 line ruby script that converts incoming faxes into e

Are you using freeswitch to send & receive faxes? I've been using it for almost 6 months now and it feels much more robust than asterisk's system.

I like Eli too, he's pretty good at dry humor. I know him from the georgia tech days.

My experiences with nailgun have been mixed for rails development. Nailgun doesn't search & parse all the ruby libraries found in your Gemfile, or included as part of the rails startup time, so rerunning "rails generate x" doesn't seem

There are great non-blocking IO examples out there which are pretty easy to find (look at any database, file system, or networking library), but I think jsdom is a rather unique library that is hard to find in other languages: https://gith

Significant compared to most hackathon prizes is what I meant. Most hack day prizes are a pat on the back or useless company schwag. I don't believe hackers attend hack days for the purpose of actually making enough money to fund their li

One easy way is to give away prizes to the top 3 apps built at the hackathon. The reason why people actually coded at the iOS hackathon were the prizes (I attended). Obviously submissions built prior to the hackathon would be disqualified

One thing I hated about jslint is that it would exit after catching a few "errors" too many, even if the errors were not actually syntactically incorrect. it's basically impossible to use if you're using jslint over large js projects that

osdir isn't actually too bad -- mailing lists are very poorly indexed by google and osdir exposes some of the data to be indexed.

You missed a very hectic & crazy starcraft bracket. I think about 30% of those that signed up didn't show, but was filled with a bunch of random people that were on the waiting list and present. So if you don't sign up in time, you ca

Of all the companies I've worked for that use Rails, almost all of them currently use jQuery and not Prototype -- this includes quite a few of them who are on rails 2.x.

pg already gets tons of applicants per round, I don't think Yuri's plan will triple the number of applicants so I doubt it will be a problem in the short term at least.

I think it's a great idea. Our company has various projects on github that could use a second pair of eyes other than our engineers. We wouldn't mind putting a bounty on it if someone were to commit a python library or two.
