It has a built-in debugger that you start using `node debug /path/to/script`. See more here: https://nodejs.org/api/debugger.html

I'm also left handed and have tried out way too many pens. As others have suggested, Uniball Jetstream pens are fantastic and are nearly impossible to smudge by accident. They also come in a variety of sizes. I really like the 0.38mm f

I've been working on a lot of node stuff and lately I've been noticing how crazy big some of the dependency trees end up becoming. So I just did a quick check on ghost: currently there are 487 total dependencies in the dep tree wh

Maybe they're using functions so the values can have names? Perhaps easier to debug.

Ori FS does replication and atomic snapshotting: http://ori.scs.stanford.edu/ Some of its underlying architecture is very similar to git. Check out Section 5.4 of the paper: http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145&#

We did a little bit of OCaml in our undergrad PL class at UCLA. If I remember correctly, it was only a couple weeks, and you're probably right in that it was a bit unusual. The less exotic classes I took mostly used C++.

I think the main concern is that in many systems each key doesn't have an equal amount of work associated with it (this sort of thing is usually referred to as a "hotspot"). An example: suppose you have some distributed syste

I think taeric is saying you "effectively undo" an edit, meaning that you could modify the state to a new state that happens to be the same as the old state (so it'll be a different object).

It looks like there's partial support in other browsers too (I think it's still vendor prefixed). I see columns in Chrome using the example page: http://www.wiumlie.no/2014/css-figures/koster/prefix.

I really like starting documents where I write most text with Markdown, but write out any equations with LaTeX syntax. Pandoc works great for this. Invariably, if I work on the document for any lengthy period of time, I end up giving up on

Exactly, Pinboard has a pretty good API, so you can handle the backups yourself without too much trouble. I came across a post [1] with a backup script. It refers to another link [2] that shows you can just use a simple curl and get all of

I think Cassowary [1] is what you're talking about (particularly section 1.2 where they talk about some modifications to make their system very fast for incremental updates). Apple has based their constraint-based layout system, Autola

Overall it is, but when the above commenter mentions box-and-glue, they're talking about the building blocks of the line breaking algorithm TeX uses (you can read about it in this paper: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/d

The catpcha is fairly permissive at letting you make a lot of mistakes (i.e., don't go back and fix your mistakes, just keep typing). It feels weird at first letting yourself make mistakes like that, but you can probably type a lot fas

Thanks for the info. I actually went through a whole mechanical keyboard phase myself and went through several keyboards without numpads. I spent months using these keyboards, but in the end I found I was fastest and most comfortable typing

It's actually unclear whether it's less efficient or not. Sean Wrona, one of the fastest typists in various competitions, generally uses it in place of shift. He posts about it here: http://forum.colemak.com/viewto

Yup, it's its own key. People tend to refer to this combination of modifiers on OS X as "Hyper" because of this post by Steve Losh: http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/#h

I ended up doing something very similar after reading Steve Losh's article. I kept Control where it was, using Caps Lock as Escape/Hyper . The best part by far is using Caps Lock + hjkl for navigation. At work, I leave my arrow ke
