This is all great, and indeed solves the security issues in exposing AWS. And I'm sure it does wonders for locking in clients to AWS APIs ;) As for scalability, there's no inherent scalability issue with middlemen services. There&

One more example I'll use next time someone asks me "why service oriented architecture". Interaction with AWS should be wrapped in an app service. So the keys will be on your server. Your web sites or apps talk with that serv

If half my resources aren't loading, or aren't loading in full, despite all the fallbacks built into HTTP itself to avoid precisely that scenario, there's no fallback on Earth that can work around this. If my JS would load

We're talking about a submit button here. You're claiming, millions are filling in long web forms with their feature phone numpad keys? Give me a break.

False dichotomy. Building reusable APIs has nothing to do with forcing yourself to consume them with client-side JS. Maybe that approach works as a training wheels type of guide for developers who can't stay focused, but a service laye

You're confusing server CPU usage with scalability and performance. HTML template rendering on either the server or client is embarassingly parallel, as it just takes a viewmodel (basically) and populates a template of HTML with its va

So then the solution that comes to mind before I drop my entire stack to use yours, is to simply use the language the CMS itself was written in (Python, PHP, whatever), instead of the CMS. Sorry. Work on your value proposition.

Did those old times include being insulted and outraged at every word your co-debaters said? It's quite ironic for you to be sad about the lack of civil discourse, when you used the opportunity to hijack the original point of the poste

And you also make the same unsubstantiated claims of superiority, without any explanation. What is this magical hosted CMS that limits my freedom, exactly?

Gee, aren't you an outraged little fella.

Congratulations. With this arbitrary limitation you just eliminated the cheapest, most scalable and most simple part of the entire web application - HTML template rendering, to replace it with fragile and invisible to search engines JavaScr

An image. Excuse me, but that's not a remarkable hack, that's just B.S. hack, which can't be fairly called sending an "email".

Lua's most popular use is for scripting game engines. From simple side scrollers to powerful FPS 3D engines. So it's basically like "a taste of the world of Lua" or something like this, to make the presentation less dry.

Allowing only POST requests can help for one simple reason - it's harder for people to share the link without knowing what they're giving away. Of course, using POST is not the only solution here (requiring the invitation to be by

Explain yourself why we "always need a fallback plan" if JS is disabled. Without saying "screen readers", as they're 90%+ JS enabled these days.

Schofield, you're fired ! Maybe the incentives are wrong. Less bugs, less work for the dev. Maybe the people processing bug submissions should be paid more per bug submitted and should not be on the same team as the developers. But th

So this is not exactly news, is it. It's just the ramblings of a blogger, based on a bunch of hypotheticals and old info (i.e. again "not news"). Which part of this "editorial" is actionable here? Should Microsoft h

What a coincidence that sites using it, including the beelinereader.com site itself, use super-tight line-height. Thing is, line-height helps with the same issue (but without the weird colors), so if they'd fix that, the funky colors a

Ok, why on earth is almost every word in this article body a different shade of gray? I don't like articles where I need to bring up the browser dev tools just so I can read it.

There's something really wrong with that statement, but I can't describe in words what.

Have you seriously not witnessed an online fight over tabs vs spaces so far? Or braces style? It doesn't matter what it's about. It's just an excuse for this: http://pixdaus.com/files/items/pics&#x

I think the disruption of cable TV is that many people don't care about any kind of TV anymore. Apple TV is interesting because you can watch your movies and home videos on a big screen with the family. It's not "TV" for

8-bit music is a nickname for a music genre. 8-bit audio sampling is a specific level of digital audio fidelity. Human language is context sensitive. Pedantic doesn't mean we have to be stupid.

I find the cognitive dissonance of talking how every line of code is a burden, yet talking about you needing a "massive test suite" entertaining. That test suite is also code. How about we go delete some stuff there?

A joke or not, this makes SVN look bad. As a SVN user I don't appreciate the message here. Every piece of technology is a platform that needs mindshare to survive. If it has no mindshare, it might as well be an excellent piece of engin
