Very cool. I wrote something similar a while back: https://github.com/napoleond/localModel My implementation leaves a lot to be desired with regards to re-use (there are certain project requirements which happened to be met by the project

Why should I spend $1M to bring something innovative to market if it can be copied instantly by a competitor? You seem to think that WO patents, the answer is different for hardware and software. Why? Because software companies have sho

I readily concede that the situation is more nuanced than "software patents are bad". However, I think we are coming at it from two different perspectives. You seem to be suggesting that ideas are innately deserving of protection. I don't s

Sorry I didn't get to this earlier, no idea if you'll see it. One aspect to the answer (and I am not a patent expert by any means) has to do with the much longer time-to-market represented by hardware development--hardware innovation would

Jeremy, I don't know much about CoffeeScript but I'm having a really hard time parsing your last example. Did you mean app.get '/', (req,res) -> res.send 'Hello World' ?

Wouldn't it be easier/faster to just parse the desired URL from the link?

That blog post really resonated with me. Thanks for writing it.

I was only with them for six months and after that time they managed to irreversibly destroy everything I had been working on, including the backups I'd paid for. (They said that the backups were on a different server which also happened

Often there are multiple options for what the thing you are making must accomplish (though some may be more valuable than others). I have found this fact liberating with regards to novel writing in particular, a case in which I personally w

Not dumb at all! It's a common shorthand around here because in vim (and presumably other text editors) that is the syntax for replacing strings - in this case, replace "webkit" with "moz". It was a useless comment on my part. What I meant

I've had decent luck on Odesk with Wordpress stuff. (Tangent: I enjoy using Wordpress less every day. It's time for something better.) I only outsource easy/boring work. I found a couple developers for the first job that were good enough fo

This is actually pretty cool. When I clicked, I was expecting some sort of hardware card. When the page loaded and I saw the QR code I was about to hit the back button... but realizing that I could track how the QR code on a business card

My interesting ideas almost always come to me when I'm trying to sleep or when I'm in class. However, the subject of my idea is almost always unrelated to sleep or to the subject of the class at hand. I think the meat of an interesting id

The reason to avoid running the CoffeeScript compiler in the browser is that it takes time to compile a script, time which can be easily saved for the user by sending them a pre-compiled version. Of course running the CS compiler in the bro

I've been using zepto in a project for a couple of months and so far it's been pretty solid. It's true that it does not achieve feature parity with jQuery, but it doesn't pretend to (and I don't think it ever did). It does successfully mi

Hashbangs are only a stop-gap at this point - modern browsers ship with the HTML5 History API.

Now we are talking past each other ;) You're right, of course, which is why I said I'm not sure FT would be useful in this case. I was giving the grandparent the benefit of the doubt, however: it is at least conceivable to me that the even

That is false. (No information is lost in the Fourier Transform.) However, I'm not sure how Fourier analysis would help in this case - image processing is not my forte. Perhaps there would be a spike at the spatial frequency where the disco

I'm leaving this here instead of contacting you through your site, that way if anyone else is interested they can take part, too. I recently made a really simple Backbone.js extension ( https://github.com/napoleond/localModel ) that reduces

Hmmm. I appreciate the way you laid out your argument, I'm not sure I understand it entirely though. I agree that the concept of authorship is not very logical in the context of your example, but I don't know of any HTML spec which requires

Awesome, thanks for the reminder. I've been waiting for ep.io to get back to me as I asked for an invite a while ago, but apparently Gondor is out of beta now and anyone can sign up! I don't mind App Engine that much though, to be honest. T

While I certainly agree that there is tons of room for improvement with HTML/CSS/JS, I get confused when people start discussing it in such hyperbolic terms. It's not that bad. Most data on the internet fits really nicely into the documen

Cool, I will take a look! And not every back-end dev is lucky enough to be working in their framework of choice ;) (I would actually call myself more of a front-end guy, but I do plenty of back-end work and the only time I get to use framew

Why haven't you tried it yet? I have tried it, and I love it (same goes for Backbone and Underscore, by the way - you are the developer who's work has impacted me the most positively in the past year) but I haven't used it for anything

At Drew Houston's Startup School talk he mentioned something almost in passing which I think summarizes exactly why every investor wants or should want a piece of the filesharing pie: these systems have the opportunity to become the "file
