I'd have to say it's your loss, it's a shame to discount a programming language simply based on a blog post. I remember plenty of blog posts about Go popping up a few years claiming that it was unusable due to the lack of gen

The original codebase suffered from reinventing the wheel - badly. By composing together well tested high level abstractions, most of the tricky, broken parts could be removed from the responsibility of the application codebase, leaving onl

Rather than a poster, check out the original source[0], I find Ira Glass' delivery more relatable. [0] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI23U7U2aUY

I make mainly hiphop beats and some experimental stuff, as well as recording and mixing hiphop artists. I've also recorded acoustic stuff. I would generally say that Logic would be a better choice for recording (though Ableton does hav

As one of the other replies to your comment touched on, I am of the belief that it is very difficult to optimise a complex interface for all skill levels (while maintaining the same level of productivity for users at the high end). You seem

I've been a long time Logic Pro user. Since the updates to Logic slowed to a trickle I've also been using Ableton Live a fair bit. I've always appreciated Logic's clean, well laid out interface (as opposed to say, Cubase

To expand, this SDK mostly only builds a few DLLs which allow mods to override various parts of the game logic. It doesn't include the source for the main hl2.exe, for example. This is how all mods have been built for Valve games datin

I'm pretty sure this is their previously released SDK (though a new release for 2013) which is already available through Steam. What's new here is that they've put it up on GitHub.

Considering iOS 7 is a 'flat' redesign, it's hardly surprising that it bears stylistic similarities to other flat mobile UI designs. The flat trend in web and app UI design has been building for the last couple of years. We&#

I've been following both ShareJS and Derby because, while I believe that the future of web application development is in realtime 'holy grail' frameworks, I very much dislike many aspects of Meteor, such as disregarding npm, the lack of pro

When moving from a weak password hashing scheme to a stronger one you can keep old passwords around and just hash them again with the new system (that is, run your existing hashes through your new hashing function), and mark them as using t

In the case of querySelectorAll, it does[1] (after performing some checks for easy wins) and if this test[2] is anything to go by, it can actually perform better in some cases. [1] https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/blob/master/sizzle.js#L23

I certainly didn't do the decimal-binary conversion in my head (mental arithmetic is not my greatest skill). You can open your browser's JS console and use: Number(x).toString(2) x being the decimal value.

You can also just read the code (the third parameter is the decimal representation of the 'password'): ww.mode.register("home", ww.mode.HomeMode, null); ww.mode.register("cat", ww.mode.CatMode, 231, 8); var isAndroid = navigat

You could also use node.js with Clojurescript, if you're willing to accept the compromises of Clojurescript.
