This is a great new feature. Another thing this reminded me of is how good the github team is at releasing new features, clearly explaining them, and getting them integrated smoothly and across a wide user base. Its very impressive to me si

I'd like to give as much helpful criticism as possible, but I can't say much about the general idea, doesn't ring with me, but I'm not a photo/sharing social media person so I'm not the target audience here. Otherwise, I would try to get a

Hey Danny, I know where you're coming from, I taught myself everything as well and its pretty difficult when you go that route (though personally, I think it makes you better since you learn a ton of stuff along the way you wouldn't otherwi

Good article, after reading this article I #1 know why google is against it, and #2 am against the proposal as well. IMO the google site http://www.google.com/intl/en/takeaction/whats-at-stake/ could have benefited from some of this kind

Wow, this is a very nice demo. I was quite surprised at how simple the demo script is - no offence :), that shows some maturity for cannon.js and three.js that I wasn't aware of. Great job BTW!

Experience tells me this is not a huge problem and my personal opinion is that it won't become one - don't have any references though just IMO. What I mean to say is that basically if you're making a production level app, you just build it

could you reveal more details about what the position entails from a technical side? What programming languages, experience, or app stacks for instance?

Ruby because the development cycle is blazing fast and once you reach a scale where it matters there's plenty of options.

It seems this has sparked some debates on nuclear vs renewable energy so I thought I'd add a ted talk that explains some pros/cons of each for those interested: http://www.ted.com/talks/david_mackay_a_reality_check_on_ren...

Grab a cup of coffee, and read the source of these libs till you know what's going on: underscore - http://underscorejs.org/ backbone - http://backbonejs.org/ dojo - http://dojotoolkit.org/ They all have great comments in the dev vers

I think it would take IE not working for something a lot of people want to do. The problem with IE is that it works for end users. devs build websites that work on IE so most everyday people never even notice or care that IE is such a pain.

I haven't read the Atoms of Language but this sounds plausible and is if I remember correctly, more or less, what is believed to have happened. The diachronic study of english from say 900 to 1300, shows a language undergoing drastic change

First, the dojo docs are (or were last I checked) more or less garbage especially if you're expecting something really extensive like the jq docs. But I think its more than made up for in dojo by having awesome source code that's super clea

This is a very nice infographic. I've programmed a lot in PHP and still wonder why its rep is as bad as it is. For anyone deciding what language to learn, I think they would look at the stats and see that PHP is the fastest, the easiest, an

interesting article. This assertion does go against the last 200 years or so (since the Grimm Brothers) of thought about the origins of the English language. I'm not an expert but I did major in linguistics and have studied the history of

maybe it depends on how you view the specs, but I think what most people mean by HTML5 is the full spectrum of new features outside markup that enable app building, ie. filesystem API, Websockets, web workers, webgl, etc, which is to no whe

This needs to be renamed, keep original title. Otherwise, this is an interesting article. I was surprised to see Toronto so high and Paris #11 topping out Berlin #15. What are big Paris startups?

these are some much needed bug fixes (is_readable for example), but personally I'm most exited about 5.5, there are some really nice features coming in it - coroutines :)
