Hadn't heard of that one but it looks really cool - thanks!

oh ha, thanks! I just fixed that.

Please excuse me pimping my own site, but if you use PHP & MySQL - this will generate a basic working app that uses backbone.js extensively. As an example backbone app, I think it may need a few improvements to go along with the latest

It's certainly not a very popular western attitude these days. Positive reinforcement and re-direction is used in place of discipline. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it but it does seem to me that different kids react to different kind

cool thanks for the response, that makes sense. I have my code working again but I'll check out the new fetch param as well.

This looks interesting but what is more interesting to me is the brackets-shell, which looks to be a chromium shell for running an HTML/JS app as a native application. It looks to be very minimal and would just be fantastic for creating de

It says right on the home page that it's maintained by Adobe & the github repos are all maintained by Adobe as well. Just curious, do you think Adobe has a bad reputation for making software that would make them want to dis-associate w

this probably isn't a bug, but just curious why the 2nd xhr parameter was removed from the collection parse handler? I was using it to check the raw response and determine if the collection had actually changed & then supress unnecessar

Google pretty much kills it with map apps. Unless Apple keeps up people will eventually complain that they want to change their default map app. I think already there are companies making better mobile browsers, mail, calendar, etc. As p

Microsoft was sued simply for bundling IE with Windows, which sounds crazy when you think about it. But at the time it seemed like selling browsers was going to be huge and Microsoft basically killed Netscape. With Windows, though, you we

Technically it is called integration testing but I agree with you on the idea. Unless there's a reason to mock something up (like simulating a fail condition from a DB or network call, or simulating other code that isn't finished yet) I pre

Starting right away with inheritance had always confused it for me, I still feel like it's a terrible way to introduce OOD. Also the fact that people sometimes refer to both classes and instances as "objects" I think is what confused me th

I thought at first you were talking about the beer can dude actually being a billionaire with 17 lamborghinis! It would be hard to imagine somebody who actually owned those cars to spend so much energy duplicating the engine sound with a b

It seems to me the author is such a proponent of TDD that the idea of not using it is laughable. The humor is so dry that it almost seems like a serious article. I got a few laughs though.

I rather thought he was saying that since 1975 there have been abstractions developed, but people aren't taking advantage of them. Or perhaps people are not trusting them in this case.

Exactly. It doesn't make sense unless eBay just considers all sellers to be high volume resellers who write off small item losses as part of doing business.

I think this is the only way to go if you have significant server expenses necessary to support the game. Still it sounds like Apple doesn't let you know who legitimately bought the app, and they also prohibit in-app purchases that don't g

AIR is still a convenient way to create cross-platform desktop apps as well. I've been trying various HTML platforms I can find and haven't found an alternative that I think works as well. It's a shame that the developer community has shr

We could just as easily be reading a post from "James" about how his time was wasted by some punk who has no clue how much value he would bring to a startup. And I would consider that equally tacky. He asked for what he wanted - it was not

"Item not as described" is the secret passphrase. Seller has absolutely no recourse. I've never tried it as a buyer, but as a seller it's been 100% effective in the scammer getting their money back from me.

I actually wrote about this 6 years ago when eBay first started leaning their policy towards protecting buyers at the expense of the sellers. I went from selling things on eBay regularly to never using them for anything. Especially an iPh

I definitely agree that working for free is a bad idea. But in the software industry we're currently enjoying a shortage of talent (well, that's either positive or negative depending on whether you're employee or employer) I kinda have on

The infamous IE box model is one thing where you could debate that one or the other was preferable.

It sounds a bit like the site owner was playing wack-a-mole for three years when he should have just wiped out everything. Once you have an intrusion, unfortunately you can't trust anything that a machine has access to and you should start

This is a really nice looking html app. There's a couple of things not mentioned that I think help it look like a native app. One is that the app actually doesn't actually try to look like a "native" app with standard iOS controls - it lo

You can also easily run unsigned apps by ctrl+clicking them and selecting "open". Once you do this once the app can be opened normally from that point. Still I also worry that Apple may get rid of these workarounds in the future and wall o

Yea it seems like in the last year or two the sensors are finally starting to increase the latitude very close to film. I've heard film was 13-14 stops and digital cameras are just starting to hit near the 13 stop level. It's getting to t

I'm a bit of a film buff, by that I mean I like shooting of film & I own 16mm film cameras. (I shoot most if my work in digital though, so I don't consider myself all that snobby about it) To me some arguments for film hold up, but are
