I'd say that the best qualification they have is that they know their kids , and care deeply about them. They provide student/teacher ratios that are impossible to match. Each child has different needs and different strengths and

Hi, I'm Kevin. Pleased to meet you. Now you know someone who doesn't fit either of those molds :) I'm co-moderator of a secular homeschooling group and your description doesn't really match anyone in our group (20-30 fam

For people looking for something more substantial, you might enjoy this c2 page about FBP vs. Actors: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ActorsAndFlowBasedProgrammingDiscussi... The basic idea with FBP is that you have multiple pr

The idea is that while you're waiting on some kind of I/O or other asynchronous activity to complete, the thread you're on can do some other work. Threads are relatively heavyweight compared to the sort of cooperative multita

I wonder if the feature to install workflows from pages like this would run afoul of the terms: http://editorial-app.appspot.com/workflow/6231550869897216/6... I seem to remember Codea having some sort of sharing

Interesting that 27 people have opted to pay the $830 today, rather than the $600 that they could have paid.

by dangoor 13y ago
You could withdraw the $600... I do appreciate you pointing this difference out though, because it does mean that folks will have $600 (or $830) tied up in this from day 1 and not from day 31.

Didn't the original article mention setting Apache to redirect the requests to the static site? I would imagine that Apache (running on something better than a C64) can handle an absolutely ridiculous amount of traffic that it's j

Despite the "extreme inefficiency", HTTP/HTML have managed to work successfully for a very long period of time (and even worked decently well on very slow hardware in the '90s). There is actually a binary format that muc

For people looking for an editor in which to try out TypeScript, I'll note that there's a neat looking community-written TypeScript extension[1] for Brackets[2]. (I work on Brackets). I've been using dynamically typed languag

by dangoor 13y ago
The trouble is that, at the moment, asm.js is not a garbage collected environment, whereas TypeScript is much closer to JS than it is to C. Static typing alone is not sufficient to make asm.js a good target for a language, I think.

For Brackets, I went with something that's not a regex because I wanted certain parts of the string to be "special": http://www.blueskyonmars.com/2013/03/26/brackets-quick-open-... But, I'

If someone has coded up a "self respecting bot" then I think we've lost all hope against the spam harvesters (unless, of course, that bot's notion of self respect includes the recognition that spam is annoying to innocent people :)

That wasn't what was being said... What was being said was "leaving the office and watching tv for 5 hours will run you down". Or that people should be active for more than 40 hours per week.

CoffeeScript and JavaScript are semantically almost the same. CoffeeScript is not going to magically become faster because of asm.js. As I understand it, asm.js is really intended as a compiler target for languages with different semantics

This is really neat. It would be cool to combine it with one of the JS-based presentation engines.

It would be cool to be able to try this out for open source projects (with public archives and all of that), though I'd imagine that's not their primary use case :)

I've published some children's fiction this year, but I suspect I will publish programming works again at some point. I'll give another plug for Scrivener[1], which is really a great tool. All of the editions that I have in the major online

My thinking is that many developers will build their mobile apps starting with just Firefox (and the Responsive Design View). Once they really start digging in to some of the APIs that exist in B2G but not yet in Firefox, they'll switch to

Most of Web Apps are already in the standard (appcache, indexeddb, etc.) and I know there has been some communication around manifest formats (but I'm not directly involved in that). Generally speaking, though, the difference between one

You should be able to make iOS apps with Python. Plenty of iOS apps have interpreters. You just can't download and run code from the net. (See, for example, Codea which lets you write and run Lua programs right on the iPad. There are simila
