PHP by a long shot. For the record, I think JS is a decent language with easily encountered flaws that don't really affect me day to day. The few people I've encountered who think it's the best are...wrong. It has problems and here's the li

I've never heard of IronMonkey but ScreamingMonkey was at least planned as a Tamarin replaces js engine in IE project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:ScreamingMonkey

I thought the official tutorial was good enough to start reading the library code. That's probably about as good as it'll get until the language stabilizes. * Note: Rust is my language for the year. I can read Rust, follow program flow and

It's not particularly efficient but that's not a design goal of the system. The tradeoff is robustness–can't lose or corrupt data as long as the master data set is safe–and flexibility–generate whatever views you like on the data whenever y

Nathan Marz has been promoting this as the Lambda Architecture, has a couple presentations/blog posts about the idea and is writing a book. While other people probably have similar ideas, I'm unaware of anybody else attempting to teach them

I've been in the process of switching from Vim to ST2 for a couple months (custom plugins in both, not in a hurry) and the main reason for doing it is because Python and the extension API are MUCH better than the Vim equivalents. If you don

The answer is no. It's kind of sad since WebOS had by far the most awesome OSS community. As a dedicated frontend developer, I'm rooting for a phone ecosystem using the browser stack for apps but B2G is my current hope and I don't give it g

It's not the service you base it off of, it's what the people you're following on the service share. If you're friends with a bunch of people on facebook who share hollywood/pop culture stuff, that's what you get. If you follow a bunch of g

I seeded it off twitter, which I primarily use to keep tabs on developers and software projects I care about. I've been happily using it for 5 (?) months now and find it to generally be the highest signal to noise aggregator of tech news th

Why would we not want to? It's cheap entertainment if nothing else. As a taxpayer, if you're making $100k gross, your annual contribution for NASA's entire budget is about $100/year. I have no issues with spending $10-15 a year (it's not go

A pulley system would save manpower but manpower wasn't the limiting factor last night. It was buckets and throughput. Pulley system wouldn't work inside. There isn't a gap in the stairwells and it's not a straight shot up. Going over the s

As someone who works on Grand St (at least the one in soho Manhattan) I assumed it was local since this is the south end of the Manhattan startup cluster.

The effect is the same (it's composition vs inheritance) but the SASS CSS is going to be more space efficient. The way I think about it is that @extend copies the selector while mixins copy their contents.

If you're looking for a Rich Text Editor, this is the only one I will recommend. I wrote a proprietary RTE last year and continue to maintain it because nothing available both worked and produced clean markup. Redactor came out this spring

Thanks for writing it up. I've thought about dataflow programming before but building the dependency graph up was always annoying and the idea of sticking everything in a map and building the dep chains by introspecting the argument names h

I don't use 3D view but I've used Jesse Rudderman's topo bookmarklet[1], which is conceptually very similar, for years. It's more useful in IE so you can see what tag IE is failing to close but it's useful for getting a quick feel for unfam

Any toolkit that attempts to shoehorn a consistent experience on the web is doomed to failure. People have made efforts, earnest efforts, at solving the problem (dojo, ext, closure, capuccino). None have caught on and at the moment I'm assu

I'm not sold on forward compat. I'm only an interested observer of TC39 but to my knowledge only arrow lambdas and modules (the cross file ones) are near consensus. The rest of the features added have either been going around for a long tim
