> cromulent I had to look that word up on urbandictionary, wiktionary, and tvtropes (apparently a Simpsons reference). From what I gather, if that's the word you meant, then it doesn't seem that you believe Node.js is a viable

It was a list of ideas. And you can do all of that, just not in a single day.

I was curious so I googled it. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Time_Dilation Basically, EVE Online's universe spans a bunch of server nodes. When a node is under a lot of stress (large battles, high volume), the node's game speed slows

I've finally arrived at the fascination with learning something by just starting with nothing and building onto it one step at a time. My first two to three years of programming were spent jumping into random tech (like Rails, SQL, jQuery)

I also do that, but it's because I'm scared of recurring subscriptions that I've forgotten about, especially those that decide to sneak into my pocket after I've deliberately canceled them.

Now that's the kind of out of box thinking I like to see (leaning on selection auto-copy). Works well, thanks.

Much of the DSM is toxic legacy from the dark ages of psychiatry -- an era that we've yet to transcend. Meanwhile, your conclusion doesn't seem to fit with the text of the article you linked. You say: > Asperger's syndrome will be

The brain didn't evolve to address the struggles of today. My ancestors weren't trying to stay mentally engaged to a computer screen for eight hours at a time.

This reminds me of how my grandmother used to leave voicemails in a robotic, staccato voice so that the answering machine could understand her if the machine's default robot voice picked up the phone. To her, the answering machine's voice i

With a s-expr edit tool like Paredit, you never have to write closing delimiters.

Cool stuff. The danger of this, though, is that you risk doing unidiomatic examples a disservice. I thought you were just going for line-for-line parity until I came across the Clojure example. I think you could've written that same `for` l

Some jarring issues with testing in the Rails community, and these aren't things I recognized until about 3 years into it all (in other words, recently) and finally had the wherewithal and exposure to other tools/paradigms where I could fin

I'm also 24. Spent much of my life struggling to do basic things as well. 24 years of hearing the familiar platitudes of "just do it", like telling a depressed person to "just smile". Fortunately I stumbled upon slow-release d-amphetamine a

> this is the logic of someone willing to adapt to the environment around him. How is this true? OP is saying devs should dump their app into memory and that devs need to adapt to OP's limitless RAM.

This extension just adds a new workflow option. For instance, your workflow doesn't work for me because "bookmark" in my life pretty much means "lose this page in my junk drawer of pages that I'll probably never read again, but I might if I

I think you described Padrino ( http://www.padrinorb.com/ ). Sinatra is good for APIs but it's easy to find yourself reinventing Rails/Padrino when you have a view layer.

While I started with iOS development through the traditional route of those Stanford courses, I learned the bulk of my more in-depth knowledge after focusing on RubyMotion. "You'll still have to learn the iOS API" is true, but I think it's

OP is lamenting about the Objective-C language verbosity/ceremony compared to Ruby, not the Cocoa Touch framework. After all, you're still using the same iOS framework with RubyMotion. But you do get to use Ruby, and more interestingly you

Cocaine and amphetamine result in the same flood of the same neurotransmitters. Cocaine has no surprises for anyone that's ever been cracked out on instant release speed. Except maybe making them go "...is this it?" Lots of overlap between

When you take amphetamine every day, you incur a debt that can only be repaid by taking a break. If you don't pay back the debt, you enter the risky business of increasing your dose and dancing with the loan shark that always collects. So I

Sure, but there's a difference between some nice lil gutter glyphs in the background and a deliberate ':Gdiff' command. In other words, why not both?
