I'm sorry, but I really don't follow at all. You call this approach heavy handed when in fact it's relatively small amount of source code that makes for much more readable developer code down the line. To me, Maybe seems like

I think the point is that most projects don't need/can't be functional "all the way through". Like any sufficiently complex application many of us work on systems (or at least parts of systems) that could benefit fr

If they don't think that Light Table is going to be profitable for them as a company long term then yes, that's a problem with the current product/strategy. You're making a lot of assumptions about what the company can o

This sort of thing (a pivot) happens all of the time with services, so why is it not ok for pure software? I backed Light Table and enjoy it (though it is nowhere near my daily editor) but I'm excited about the shift in focus. Sometime

If we're being pedantic, Vim isn't installed everywhere either. Vi is, of course, but if you're evangelizing the benefits of the posix shell over vim-specific plugins I can only assume you didn't mean to :%s/vim&#x2

This blog post's interpretation of "illegal" would include any change to any product with the intent to stimulate user behavior. It's a very slippery slope.

And that's not to mention the fact that each user had effectively "signed" a TOS agreement that no doubt covers these sorts of scenarios. Informed consent (as I understand it, might very well be wrong) is given if the user in

iTerm2 and vim work well together when you feel like using the mouse. Not sure what the situation is like in Linux though.

It'll be interesting to see how this develops. I'm a little worried that people's first inclination will be to always offer half of everything and hope it goes through, which might cause the sellers to simply raise their pric

Finally, we can both agree that jquery dom manipulation is a great way to find yourself in a mess of unmaintainable code. If you're a fan of backbone views though - why not React? IMO it's very similar to backbone but with sane st

Javascript, in a browser, exists to manipulate the document. If your opinion is that decoupling the elements of that document from the actions that might happen as a result of interacting with that element then so be it, but I couldn't

That "confusion and mild irritation" is what I'm talking about. If you don't think their marketing page is up to your standards maybe constructive commentary based on your apparent demographic suitability would be a bit

Having actions tied to the object declaratively is a paradigm that javascript frameworks have been moving towards, rather than away from, for the past few years. When managing a complex, JS-heavy application, it is infinitely more developer

It's a safe bet that this product is not for you. Constructive comments are one thing, but anger over the fact that the value prop of a kid's game doesn't resonate with you is...awkward.

Re: Copying the example code - LPTHW and others of that style are huge believers in writing all code out by hand. Even if you don't know what it's doing yet you're letting the language syntax and style start to soak in. I hav

Not trying to be rude because this obviously took a ton of effort, but why on earth would I ever want to build iOS/Mac apps on an iPad? My fingers hurt just thinking about it.

I'm obliged to agree. Even the "contrived" example is easier for me to parse given that I have years of seeing "{}[]()" as delimiters. Not to mention that filter/each functions will get even easier to parse onc

Looking through the Blaze wiki I'd say that Blaze is more concerned with calculating updates based on changes in data (either by user action or networked bindings) and React is more concerned with managing the entire lifecycle of an el

I read it that way, too. Quip is still a young company focusing on product more than anything, going down the rabbit hole of long-tail user re-engagement optimizations would be a waste of time at this point. I'd go as far as saying tha

PH has been a pretty great resource for me. There aren't enough hours in the day to keep up with every company that launches. Quality > quantity any day of the week.

Are you properly incorporated yet? If so, ask for their specific legal advice and take the meeting. Don't disclose anything that the potential acquirers could use to build their own product and see if their interest is sincere. If so,

Thanks for putting that into words more nicely than I would have been able to. Grow looks interesting and I applaud them for the initiative, but it's hard to agree with all that they are saying when their definition of a "web page

As opposed to non-data science, where they just make things up out of thin air? I think what you're trying to say is that "data science", as a field, is able to be much more productive these days because of an increased avail
