Proper front end engineering PRODUCES measurable, testable, predictable, reproducible and stable solutions. If you're calling yourself an engineer, you should be able to build a full application client side with separation between the busin

Also, when this is used, it's likely to be quite small - the gap between the tail of the '5' and its upper curve is slight. I think it will have a tendency to resemble a '6' at smaller resolutions. Someone realized this. If you look at th

I know Brendan Eich has mentioned that he would like to bring python-like generators into the language. They're in Mozilla's engine, were in ES4, and they're a ES Harmony strawman. http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:generators

All the outcry over this I've read is basically a complaint that you can't ship one codec for HTML5 video, which you've never been able to do. That's what the whole argument over the video tag has always been about. The only difference this

If you're coding, you're in the air conditioning when it's 95°F and out in the mornings/evenings. I spent 9 months in Austin starting in February and it's not that bad. I grew up in Atlanta (85-95°F and 80% humidity) and summertime was abou

You only need to know a few basic pure motions, mostly for moving around: h/j/k/l, gg, G, <count>G, 0/^, $, <C-o>/<C-i>, <c-d>/<c-u> The more important motions are %, f/t and the text-objects (:help f

I've switched over to CoffeeScript for all projects where I get to choose. It's an all around better language than js if you tend towards the functional side. Iteration/comprehensions work like they should[1], destructuring simplifies extra

I have a DI as well (with an undervolt/overclock kernel) and while the stutters are quite short, they're definitely there. As an easy example, scrub left/right quickly using the optical joystick on the stock home screen. If you're looking f

Programming for both is hard in different ways. With web programming, you can generally throw together arbitrary designs quickly but once it works, you have the second half of the work ensuring it works everywhere. With device programming,

I consider text objects and the f/t motions to be the core Vim editing motions. I'm always annoyed that vim intros go through teaching the w/e/b motions when you can easily get by with f<space>/t<space>/T<space> and

It's a tradeoff between compatibility with existing JS versus perf/capability enhancements. The ECMAScript committee goes back and forth on this topic. The biggest stride in that direction was strict mode, which is intended to catch most of

They don't mention that they're tracing. I think they're just optimistically optimizing functions in hot loops.

I was mystified at this. I can't imagine a way to measure weight with accelerometer that doesn't involve spinning around in circles or jumping up and down on springs.

One of the more unique programming approaches I've come across is the Leo editor, which was written to support literate programming but also functions as an outliner. When you're working with Leo, you work with a tree of text nodes instead
