At my last startup Outspokes, our product was an embeddable JS-widget. While we did load jQuery after initializing the widget, we still used basic Javascript to load the initial widget (think bookmarklet-like code). Because so much of our

3 books that I helped me tie my daily work back to more abstract computer science concepts are: - Ruby Best Practices - Javascript, the Good Parts - Higher Order Perl I recommend picking these up after you've done work in the languages they

I especially liked the Ruby Hoedown, and Magic Ruby conferences because they were free admission. All you had to do was convince your company to pay for travel and lodging. The quality of talks and technical skills of people who went to t

jch@whatcodecraves. I misspoke about Blank Space's location. Glad to hear that you guys are opening up in Santa Monica though. Ideally, I'd want to do something within walking or biking distance.

I saw the link to Office and Company in Pasadena. The rates are a bit steep for me at $325/month. I've also been to Blank Spaces in Santa Monica. Are there any folks out near Caltech that be interested in sharing a space or just working t

This looks really slick. avk and I were were planning on building bug tracking features into Outspokes, but we've stopped work on that project. Our original goal was to have a JS widget for teams to collaborate on their sites. Hopefully yo

I was also a big fan of remapping capslock to control. Fortunately, in OSX 10.5+, it became a configurable option in the keyboard prefpane. Thanks for posting your list! I'm looking forward to giving Lyx a try.

the landing page design really grabbed me, but I'm also really impressed with how simple and functional the actual dashboard is when you login. I had signed up with another beta autoscaling service, but I never heard back from them again.

offtopic, but guitaryst looks pretty sweet. You guys should compile a list of other cool apps built on top of last.fm great job on the UX for tastebuds. It's not only pretty, but the barrier to entry was low and really draws you in to try i

Related to Sinatra, the Padrino docs and guides are really good. On top of reference style documentation, guides and tutorials like the ones at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ that are topic based are really helpful

I have the same problem when it comes to buying electronics. I've missed out on having a smart phone because I'm always waiting for the next iteration, or for my current contract to run out. It's an endless cycle of not buying. What helps

When they were explaining how to form letters, the movement reminded me of dialing numbers on a rotary phone, except that the possible combinations were expanded because counterclockwise "dialing" is also allowed.

Not sure exactly what you guys are building, but I hope it makes a fat dent in how credit bureaus work. I went through my first credit report from the 3 credit bureaus. Not only was the process archaic, but along the way I was bombarded b

My girlfriend is a chemical engineer. We both try to talk to one another about what excites us about our work. When she starts talking about nanotech materials, she can't help throwing in a lot of technical jargon that fly over my head.

I like the idea of this because there are benefits for both the employer and the freelancer. For employers, it's a labor model that's pay-as-you-go like cloud servers. For freelancers, you're motivated to complete tasks and not watching t

We have a short demo video on the homepage and a tour page. We also made a free account for people to try out. I wanted to make a bookmarklet demo to let you install the widget on arbitrary sites, but it's not a high priority at the momen

We recently added a script include that referenced the google AJAX api via http instead of https. That was causing the scary message. It's been fixed now. I agree we need to add some copy and badging to reassure the user that we store all

The Braintree API wasn't too hard hard to integrate with, but their web interface for configuration and management is pretty ugly and unintuitive. I especially dislike how they share test instances between multiple customers. Their custom
