I may be missing something, but it seems like the purpose of this library is to solve the problem that if you run too much code in javascript in the browser at any given time you can hog the application thread long enough that it makes the

Did you see that there is a thoughtful seven minute audio interview with the author of the article? That's the content I was posting. I found the original article interesting too.

I like this bit on using multipane layouts to be flexible on both tablets and mobile: http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/multi-pane-layo... Good advice for rich web apps too.

As a geek who's now trying to start my own company I can say that conversely, just being a geek who knows how to build things does not make success easy either; other skills matter too. I have gained a much greater appreciation for product

Though the article claims to be targeted at users running on linux, most of the the info is still quite useful regardless of the platform - just figure out how to install python and and pip and the rest is pretty platform agnostic.

I'm taking the ml class right now, thank you! Everything you say is absolutely true, enrolling in this class vs watching some videos is like night and day: - a large number of other students who are at the same cohort helping each other -

I like the artist hub, and streaming / syncing offline of my library. But I really don't like the absence of a subscription option to listen to whatever I want. I can't imagine paying nearly the price of one month premium rdio or spotify

What it really means is that with each person you allow to "volunteer" for you are opening yourself up to liability that they could sue for back payment of minimum wage if they ever became disgruntled. Same goes for people who work for swe

Thanks to employment laws it would be illegal for any US startup to let you work for them for free; there's no legal form of volunteering for for-profit companies (save a very clearly defined educational internship where the benefit is to y

Desktop apps eventually got replaced by web apps because it is more convenient to access the app from anywhere - from any computer, not necessarily because web apps were easier for developers. Now with mobile apps developers are hoping for

i think http://leaflet.cloudmade.com just got a lot more interesting; like polymaps but supports older versions of ie.

http://polymaps.org could be a good alternative if you are willing to ditch support for <= ie8 (non svg browsers).

Cool, I hope so. An account I heard described the engineers having had access only to test boards, but perhaps that was earlier on before physical prototypes were made.

That's pretty cool that Jobs was willing to meet with Page, particularly given how miffed he was about android. One area where I hope Google doesn't follow Apple is in engineering culture. For instance, isn't it true that most of the engin

It's interesting that dart provides the translator at the html level, which allows dart to support direct inclusion of dart scripts in an html page, and for one dart script to require another. However, it seems like this would actually make

Thanks for the details. Merchant account setup with intuit through recurly was very easy though, we had that setup within a few hours. At this point, sounds like stripe would be cheaper though (~50 paying customers at $40 a month).
