   One way to get a comma-free JSON-like format is to write the document in hjson, which is a superset of JSON. http://hjson.org/ var config = HJSON.parse(fs.fileReadSync('config.hjson')) Another more obscure, and mo

   Here I thought the title was describing how plastic CD media became brittle after 20 years. The hack is way more interesting.

   a feature of UUID PKs is to allow merging of groups of records. Say there were 1000 records from an old backup that need to get into the database because they were left out/forgotten for some reason. Doing an insert will just work. If

    I find a great answer in this area is Crystal. I consider it 'go in ruby clothing'. Like go, Crystal is a typed language and outputs binary executables. They kept the beautiful ruby syntax and made better internals. http:/&#

    Same problem here. Sign-in with github was very nice. Then drops me into the dashboard. Open tasks are 0. Its a UX dead end.

    The dot sounds great but I cringed when I read about the tap. Its increasingly common for people to play cell phone audio in enclosed places without consideration of others. The tap seems to be designed to make it even easier to do so.

    I assume they mean the 900mhz band in the US. How is a cell phone supposed to communicate with the Beartooth? If its not a cell tower, the phone only knows bluetooth and wifi on 2.4/5Ghz.

    Hydrolysis from solar is '30% efficient' of nearly limitless solar radiation. Hydrogen fuel cells emit no CO2. Its hard to underestimate what a gigantic win that is.
