Exactly. That's also the reason the rewards program is on there (I work for BigDoor). Brad is great at dogfooding his own investments.

I realize this is a different project, but since it looks similar: installing Janus was the worst decision I ever made while looking to improve my Vim experience. It actually made Vim worse , sometimes by just slowing things down, other ti

The technical advantage is getting around the same-origin policy by using JSONP (which by its nature can only be used with GET requests for the script).

What about under the same conditions, I wonder? People handle vinyl pretty delicately, but toss around CDs with reckless abandon.

Read again, he didn't say it was ugly. He just pointed out that it wasn't 1:1 because the Go code omitted the logging and comments. A valid criticism.

This is about trade dress, not features. Multi-touch and IPS are irrelevant. And the IQ770 looks like a hideous product Apple would never, ever make: http://www.strongengineering.com/images/products/detail/hp40...

Indeed. I was disappointed that the two prior submissions by other folks (the other was of the direct repository page) both had 0 comments. Figured I would resubmit it anyway during a more active time, given that it's genuinely worthy of di

Do you mean this SFS? http://www.fs.net/ That appears to literally be the official website. Sorry, but your post just sounds like "get off my lawn!" But good luck trying to convince everyone to write their web apps in C++.

To be fair, V8 (the JavaScript engine under Node) is really, really fast. Even without introducing any event-driven code. Normal procedural code will (in general) be an order of magnitude faster than standard Python and Ruby runtimes.

"You lose expressiveness, you lose maintainability, you lose peace of mind" Really, you found all that out after your experience...wait, what experience? You said yourself you failed to build a single simple app. So it seems to me you can o

Having just worked on a mobile site using this technique: it's fine. The one issue we found is that some older Android browsers support 2D translation but not 3D. We ended up using translate(x, 0) for the actual movement, but kept translate

Trust me, these tips are still useful. My team is working with a company whose site is just shy of the top 100 in the US by traffic. Big company, been around for almost 100 years. What surprised us was that 50% of their traffic comes from m

One day I noticed that Heroku gives you access to netstat, so I started trying to figure out the actual number. Running this: heroku run "netstat -l | grep lxc | wc -l" ...seems to imply that it's actually 100 ± 25 dynos per instan

Sorry to be off-topic, but is there secretly some good Lua documentation out there people use? While learning Lua yesterday (for use with Redis), I was astonished at how poor the official docs are. Even the book and the Lua Users wiki are

I like the sound much better than RainyMood.com. Kinda weird feedback, but I actually find the images with people in them a bit stressful. When I think of enjoying some rain, it's from a cozy dry spot. Being where those people are just look

Using aircrack-ng to get onto a wifi network looks surprisingly like you'd expect from a movie: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/screenshots/aircrack-ng.gif (pretend those digits are constantly updating)

I've looked and haven't found any. But it should be relatively easy and cheap to run your own specific throughput tests, since databases are metered by the second just like dynos. I just confirmed with Heroku support that you could (for exa

I love that they technically let people do this, even though it seems like a "loophole" ripe for abuse. It's a nice attitude. (For those who don't know – Heroku gives you 750 free dyno-hours per app per month, forever. This is in contrast

You can add as many free dev databases as you want with a single account AFAIK. You aren't limited to one per app, account, or plan.

Since the dblink extension is available even on the free dev plan, is anything stopping you from creating a bunch of dev databases and linking them together to overcome size restrictions? Sounds kinda fun, although there will of course be c

To your two points: you'll see that there is a blue (sometimes yellow?) ring around the number that presumably serves the same purpose as the speedometer needle – position & movement at a glance. And the volume is controlled by a physic

Agreed. On the left I saw an app I'd use, and on the right I saw an app I wouldn't use. Nothing wrong with the project, but a bad example.

Just in case anyone is confused by this comment, though, this isn't a jQuery plugin.

Not quite, I think? That page suggests that you can only use versions in this manifest: http://heroku-buildpack-nodejs.s3.amazonaws.com/manifest.nod... ...which doesn't list 0.8.

All the parts about avoiding px units for width, line-height, etc. are somewhat outdated with modern browsers. The default is now to "zoom" the pixel dimensions as well. It's also much more practical to just use pixels. With relative unit

If you consider something to be fast and scalable (e.g. Go), then something with ~80% of the throughput (e.g. Node in this test) is probably also pretty fucking fast and scalable. Scalability and performance don't walk fine lines like that;
