While I agree with you, I think you may have missed his point. Enjoying eating is different than satiating hunger/nutrition. People enjoy eating food that tastes good. Fast junk food tastes good to a lot of people (including me, even k

This seems a bit cynical. Either Mastercard is changing their organization around from the top, or there happened to be a rogue product team that managed to fight their way through the bureaucracy to launch something cool. Either way, props

Status quo is fine and all, but I don't think it's really a step in any direction. Though the fact that they're still giving me what I want (digital downloads on all games) means I really have nothing to complain about. Digit

I think the hidden gem there is that all games will be available digitally. Once they figure out how lucrative their equivalent of Steam sales can be, that should start driving the cost of games down and also really hurt the used game marke

Sad news. This is why so many IT depts don't trust Google. You can spend so much time and energy trying to get something adopted in your dept, and then Google leaves you hanging. It's good for Google short term, but I can't h

I've used Chef extensively and found this to be exactly the case. In my experience, going back and running deploy scripts I wrote a year ago have about 10% probability of still working. Aside from chef's breaking changes (and versioning mes

This is fine on the street, but not inside a Starbucks. As soon as you start approaching customers inside a business, they have the right (and obligation) to ask you to leave.

This looks pretty good. Currently using http://jpanelmenu.com/ , though I'll have to try this one out to see how it compares.

I share his frustration with the JS community. There is a rampant wave of a sort of "Ludditism" where people fight tooth and nail against innovations trying to make things better. The argument always comes down to "what we have is good enou

Really nice constructive writeup (as always by Rob), and I think it should be addressed by some better EmberJS docs and tutorials. They do a good job explaining the "what", but it could probably use more "why". It took me a while as well to

I meant I don't understand why Chrome forces this error with no bypass. Do we really need to be sniping?

by jacquesc 14y ago
I don't understand this error (I get it too). Why doesn't Chrome allow you as a user to understand the security risk and bypass it? Firefox and Safari let me at least continue. http://cl.ly/image/2c1I0U2o3t0I

I'm sorry for calling Tom a zealot (which I've since removed). If it makes you feel better, I'm a client side MVC zealot. For Aiur!

Bummer. Well, I guess all I can say it's nothing personal. I thought I was arguing against Thomas's opinion (which I disagree with), and his constant attacks against any JS framework over 2K in size. Best of luck with your ventures.

A few. Don't worry, I'm a fan of your work. But I think you're way off base on this one point. We can still be friends :)

"I’ve come to the realization that this much client-side processing and decoupling is detrimental to both the speed of development, and application performance" While Fuchs is a credit to the early JS community, he's been railing against la

Totally agree about refinements. Hopefully the community pushes back enough on that experiment so it gets deprecated and removed. A better design approach to achieve this effect is wrapper objects (similar to jQuery and Underscore.js) where

I'm not 100% sure on the history, but I believe 1.9.x started as a dev release and then they changed their minds and decided it was a wide release. That initial confusion might be why the community took the time to go from 1.8 to 1.9. I thi

This is pretty exciting. Might be too early to tell, but it feels like the Ruby versioning recently has been done very right. The switch from 1.8.x to 1.9.x was slightly painful, but I think 80% of Rubyists have made the jump. I'm hopeful a

Yep, I did read the discussion. I think wycats brings up a perfectly good concern, but the key point which he misses is that there is time, and CoffeeScript can change to fix what I think is a very solvable issue. The current estimate for E

Prediction: Google IO will be heavily focused on Google Glass and they give everyone at the conference a free pair. Hope they do this because I want to see some amazing Google Glass apps when they launch this year.
