Another Vancouver sw eng here. Only got here 3 years ago. Have to rent, impossible to buy unless I move outside the core. Then why bother living here if I have to live in Surrey? Unhappy with the fact I have to raise my first kid in a 500sq

So basically xmonad + with a tagged file indexer. Although fzf + https://github.com/rupa/z works for me most of the time. With respect to eye tracking, I had a similar idea the other day. Imagine holding a key, then mo

It would be a stretch to call express a framework. It's just a collection of connect middleware and a few helpers.

Recently on the voices of vr podcast, Dr. Thomas Furness mentioned that he also tried it, and it was based off his (Human Interface Technology Lab)'s virtual retinal display technology/patent. I'm guessing this is what you&#x

I had a decent experience with it. We got $24k for using Haskell for a project. All I had to do was a couple writeups here and there explaining why Haskell was a technical uncertainty for the given task. SR&ED funds Haskell dev!

I don't think we need another build system, what we really want is a package manager that knows how to fetch and build dependencies and gets out of your way. This is why people like npm. This is why nix is awesome.

Yup, it works in conjunction with other build tools. nix knows how to build make projects, cmake projects, cabal, etc. This is what allows you to depend on pretty much anything. Then I just use nix-build and it will build all the dependenci

nix is starting to replace all my build tools, building c code is as easy as putting together a small nix file like this: https://github.com/jb55/polyadvent/blob/master/default.nix The nixpkgs community

Recent versions of Amethyst https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst have made a pretty much xmonad-like experience on osx. There are a few quirks but I don't see me going back at this point.

I have a single, permanent Bitcoin address (1jb55g498MEa274Z1YWUXQFxZE5NzvhV7). I don't pretend Bitcoin is anonymous and I always set my change address to go back to the inputs. I understand the risks of how the address inputs and outp

We have been using redo for the longest time until parallel builds broke on Mavericks. The project basically has 0 maintainers so we had to switch off of it. It's a shame because redo was pretty great while it worked.

Note that this is just a generator yielding callback functions/promises. You need an interpreter such as co to actually run them.

They are the two most common node abstractions. You can get by without them but it's pretty important to know about them. Streams are the more important one. Once you embrace streams in your applications a lot of things become easier.

We've come to the same conclusion with coffeescript but for a different reason. We're starting to move away from it to simplify our build process. We have tons of little modules that are all in coffeescript that need to be compile

It's genetic. It has a very unpleasent soap-like taste. Even if there's a little bit it tastes like someone put a bar of soap in your meal.

I am one of those people. The worst part of eating out at restaurants is finding out at the last moment that they put cilantro on everything, making it inedible. It might as well be called tryratpoison.com. The site is not as unpleasant as

It's unfortunate that people still think they need monolithic libraries to get anything done on the client side. The node ecosystem showed this doesn't have to be the case. It becomes even more important on the client side to keep

I've always viewed OO as a nice optional UI for most programmers. Given an object to mutate and call methods on seems to click for most people. I tend to go for a more functional style internally for the composibility and maintainabili
