   I foresee lots of confusion between Ember.js and Ender.js. I hope I'm wrong, because both projects look great!

   I'm not patio11, but I have noticed something interesting about QR codes. All of the interactions with my tech/geek/entrepreneur friends seem to intimate that they think QR codes are kind of a weird thing that will never catch on with norma

   I went to school in Minnesota, and I think I know what they're talking about, at least when it comes to the math curriculum: we never had a trigonometry class. Sure we learned trigonometry, but it was never a dedicated class. Instead it w

    What I'm taking away from this is that it really is important to check up on the background and specific accomplishments of new hires, regardless of prior accolade or title.

    By far the best introduction, from the few that I've read, is Amazon's Dynamo: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2007/10/amazons_dynamo.h...

    I just write a little graph_fetch function, attach it to whatever model will hold the user's facebook_id and token, and that's pretty much it.

    Yeah, especially keeping in mind that extra engagement means more registrations as well.

    OK so this post is hyperbolic and sets off most of my BS alarms, but it appears to be Nick Frost, who has been pretty impressive in hustling for his startup http://startupli.st/ so it might be interesting. It'd probably be worth it for a
