Great write up! I've been working with maps lately and this was a very interesting read. I've tried the Leaflet SVG layer and it can become quite slow when loaded with thousands of points. Another approach would be to use a custom

Would this be a hardware cache + proxy that's specific to a particular app?

We're doing that with the Shared Solar project ( http://sharedsolar.org/ ). Some parts of the project were spun off into a for-profit business by former lab members. Interestingly, although SMS payments were built into t

This is a huge problem that we're chipping away at. I'm only starting to get involved in the energy group, but I know that we've had a project focused on providing off-grid solar energy ( http://sharedsolar.org&#x2F

It's interesting that you mention that. Yesterday I was visiting the neighboring teaching lab and a student was working on making a cheap braille reader. They were using a series of parallel rods that can slide up and down. Here's

I had fun playing with this. Are you going to add some authentication in the future to prevent malicious editing?

I've spent a ton of time customizing my Bootstrap-based site, but I didn't use the available tools. Why? Because like most programmers, I build things incrementally. The first iteration looked like a typical Bootstrap site until I started t

Your intentions may be pure, but I think it's a bad idea to copy unlicensed code into a public repo, especially without the author's permission.

Neat. I didn't know that. Just to clarify, Handlebars supports server side pre-compilation so that slower clients such as mobile devices can get a bit of a speed boost in the loading process.

Just because someone is in a non-design field doesn't mean they don't appreciate design. Even though two resumes might say the same thing in text, the better designed one will convey important information more efficiently. By standing out,

Recently there's also DMARC, which allows a domain owner to specify their support of SPF and DKIM, and how to handle email that doesn't pass authentication. Another benefit is feedback reports from major email providers on messages that hav

It doesn't look like it supports multiple users on one account. So a 100 person firm would need to use 100 individual accounts.

Not to mention another big flaw. It's nearly impossible to differentiate between A, B, C, D, and E as individual letters since they are all represented by one dot.

If the creator happens to read this, I'd suggest upping the font size significantly. There's a reason children's books have such a large font. When we learn how to read, it's much easier to focus on large single characters. Only after we be

After reading the recent article by Lyons ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3587730 ) I'm getting real skeptical about press releases from TechCrunch. How is this an "amazing" app? I watched the video and it just looks like another to-d

Months and years are tricky because they can consist of a variable number of days. To me, it's a better way of handling things without being ambiguous. For example, is one month from now exactly 30 days from today, or is it the next month

Why do you find it difficult? >>> datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1) datetime.datetime(2012, 2, 1, 23, 33, 30, 591993)

Hey thanks, That's my site! I don't have much traffic at the moment so I was surprised to see some referrers from HN. To give credit where it's due, the front page was inspired by these guys: http://www.geckoboard.com/

He's saying that fonts that have multiple weights/styles are also fonts that are more likely to be higher quality. Personally, I would use this tool to find a font that could be used throughout the page for different elements: such as body

How would this be pushing the boundaries? Putting the format in the URL itself is much easier than having to fiddle with HTTP headers. Not to mention the ability to view API data directly within the browser is a major advantage in discovera

Different people different experiences. I'm happily using VLC on my Macbook air, and it is pretty close to perfect for me.
