I would be interested in more opinions about Paleo. I'm actually on this diet myself and experiencing similar results (however I've added Crossfit and I think that's been more influential than my diet). My curiosity is about the notion that

But it's not. In fact intelligent completion is incredibly hard for dynamically typed languages. Those IDE that do perform intellisense or autocomplete with dynamic languages do it with very basic ability. In a real world dynamically writte

Soon we will be talking about "exit strategies" in the platform sense, not in the buyout sense.

I've thought about this too. For me it's a matter of what somebody really "gets" with those keys. If I'm compromised by someone whose taken my keys and programmed a script against my service are they stealing anything? Well if I've applied

I'm of two minds about this. On one side I think it's a very smart service to use. It removes what otherwise might be a ton of work to duplicate. On the other side I think it's a very dumb thing to be bound to. They certainly free you from

I know the future might be LightTable ... maybe. But for now I'm happy to see that it's becoming fashionable to have your IDE "small" and "thin". Not only in the hardware that you use it on, but also in the features and functionality. Even

That's a very good thought. We struggled with that during the development of -hitch-has() and a few others. Ultimately we landed on the position of getting an implementation out there that was functionally equivalent. CSS Selectors 4 ( http

Yes in trivial cases you might put a class on the P element. But what about when you have dynamic updates to the DOM? If I have 15 P elements in a collection and not all have content (think of a discussion thread and comments) - how would I

Thanks for taking a look. We'll get on those links (thanks for that! ). Hitch is quite a bit different than Sass/LESS. I wrote about this here: http://clint-hill.com/2012/05/06/changing-how-css-works-hitc... Essentially Hitch looks to add

(one of the authors) We agree with you. Yes it is being discussed. But you can do it now with Hitch. Our goal with Hitch isn't necessarily to create a new standard, as much as it is to influence the standards to move more quickly. Likewise

This reminds me of a lot of classes where we never touched a computer. Instead we drew our programs on paper and then tried to write the programs to make them on screen. If it weren't for Logo, I don't know if I'd have ever grown to love pr

Another part about this kind of magic IMO is that it requires you to start from the ground up within this system. Otherwise the magic is either not doable or very hard. I know it's a tired argument but it's a reality - enterprise will have

I don't intend to minimize your point, rather I want to point out that if you are saying "don't write unless it's real" you are really truly stepping over what value creative writing provides. Even to disclaimer is to say ignore what was wr

I agree with the point of your question, but I do know that in some cases it's a matter of codebase count. Which is to ask would it be better to have 1 codebase that serves as your website and native views? Or is it better to have X number

I didn't know about this and it's quite interesting. But I wonder why it no longer exists this way? Is there a reason why a "for-profit" discontinued a service like this? EDIT: Seems I found a clue .... "In 1862 insurance companies told the

Police, Emergency and Fire departments are all "good" and "provide value" however they are not profitable. Nor do people run out to voluntarily pay for them. And there are a few cases where counties/municipalities created subscription like

This feels similar to the advice I give my kids. When they get into circumstances where fighting feels like an option, I remind them to "use their words". I try to emphasize that not everyone they meet will "use their words" and that the sm

I realize you're trying to help. However. Necessary evil is an "enabling" statement. In my opinion this doesn't help circumstances but only prolongs it. It's more evil than necessary and it's only necessary because we keep allowing it to be

This debate is getting really thin. It seems we all live in a world where 5-6% of users are on IE 6. Yet we give this percentage huge leverage in our development efforts. Arguments that "clients are using it on sites/services they pay for"
