Thank you Tom Dale for continuing to make ember better with Fast Boot. I personally write and live-test a lot of my apps on 4chan's /g/ and /r/programming (which I imagine hosts a large "tinfoil" user base

RIP in pieces, Dread Pirate Roberts, the Blackbeard of our era. May we meet again in 5 or so years on the silver screen.

Partner, I know exactly how you feel (except in my case, my partner is my mom, lol. And I run masterrace ember-on-rails instead of plebian angular on node), and I completely agree, sometimes it really is too much. We see the other people in

I was plotting 2 functions (the production function and the cost-of-production aka communication cost function) onto the same graph and looking only at the top-right part where X > 0 and Y > 0, in this case, X = number of people and Y

Initially, I was on-board the whole "yeah, screw you school!" train with the students (presumably left over trauma from being intellectually sodomized by UC Berkeley's physics department), but then I read the prompt 3 in ques

Thank you jashkenas-sama, please keep the good works with coffee (and underscore, backbone, etc.). We Rubyists and Pythonians are all (well, at least I am) eternally grateful to you for having delivered us from the evils of brackets, parent

If imaqtpie has about 15k median viewers, works at least 8 hours a day for 30 days straight, and makes about $15k from that, am I approximately right in saying, in video-game streaming land, the going rate is $0.0042 per hour per viewer? An

It's also possible folks will continue forking and improving CoffeeScript so that it keeps up with future releases of vanilla js (which is actually what I hope will continue to happen). Folks like me who come from a Ruby / Python

As an example of WebRTC this is pretty decent... but please work on getting navigator.getUserMedia to screen-capture into a stream more easily; right now, the browsers' screen-capturing apis are extremely wonky and difficult to build a

It's kind of hard to say Isomorphic js isn't the answer when we're not even answering the same question. Granted server side JS probably might not be the best answer for slow client load times, but it certainly is a pretty de

I remember being such an undergrad at UC Berkeley. I'd walk into Physics 7A at the beginning of the semester with wide-eyed admiration for the teaching staff, undisguised interest to learn all about Townes's lasers, Smoot's u

Out of curiosity, what was your idea and why did it fail? Pls share your wisdom.

Depends on your idea and your plan of execution, I'd say. If your idea is to build a social network or similar community thingy where value is directly proportional to how many people use it and your monetizing strategy is to get big e

Modern instructive writing (as oppose to creative writing like novels, short stories, erotic fiction, etc.) all suffer from lack of pictures. I know that sounds incredibly childish, but bear with me on this one. Unlike our computer overlord

Just another reason to install nodejs with a node versioning machine like nvm or n... or to chown your /usr dir so you don't have to run sudo every time you want to npm install. Since you need super user privileges to accidentally

Thank God Nick didn't bring a dictionary. If he did, he would most likely not only be detained in a small jail for several hours, but probably sent to a secret underground torture chamber to be water-boarded. After all, he must obvious

Yes, it does help. You have set me on the right track and I will now look into the Ember.Resolver. Thank you.

While we're on the subject of Ember, can an ember guru please share some of your wisdom by explaining the following: Q1: When given some instance of DS.Model, how does DS.Store figure out what child-class of DS.Model it is? Q2: Where a

One can just as easily make the counter-argument people understand theory, not computer instructions. So the cleaner and more functional your code is, the easier (and faster) it becomes for other people to build on top of / around it.

I remember a while back a bunch of anti-feminists were building a tongue-in-cheek language called C+= to make fun of your average SJW (and presumably also compile down to regular C). Did that ever get anywhere?

Doing DIY legal for your business is like doing DIY earthquake prevention for your business. Chances are, if your business is going to fail, it'll probably fail because you're out of money, time, customers, employees, etc., not be
