OTOH, without LESS a lot of us would have to add Ruby to our stack :p

It seems mean to give her a transparent skull, if that's the final product! I mean, it's pretty cool but not if you want to feel "normal" :)

That doesn't sound right. You suggest if you give the computer something that looks like a face, then add a filter, it has somehow created an idea on its own. Yet you are still telling the computer what to do, it has done nothing creat

By problem, you mean there are not enough bike lines? I agree :)

For the record, one thing I like about Angular... I think the library tries to support existing/future technologies rather than define its own way of doing things. For example, the devs are planning that components can be 'exporte

Looks like a neat game, but I'm skeptical how it would work in reality. For example, it looks like the 4th dimension (time) gets frozen (for the observer) when you want to traverse it. That means, the second you 'travel in time,&#

It's a good point. When I started doing JS full-time, I wanted to squeeze out ever ms, writing for loops over using $.each or _.each, for example. But in the end, it just adds more lines of code and makes code harder to read. Also, the

worse, it redirected me to VistaPrint on some sort of auto-timeout :(

Angular has a few core concepts that are hidden by poor documentation and a lot of 'sugar'. For example, a "factory," "service," and "value" are just fancy implementations of a "provider." S

You can also get a list of un-used CSS Rules using Chrome. In the Developer Tools, under Audits, the list will appear under "Web Page Performance."

lodash is a replacement for underscore, so it's definitely not as bad as all those '$' libraries. Just make sure lodash gets loaded after underscore, since it's a superset (and faster)

Actually using var makes the function more reusable. For one, having the reference allows you to pass it along to other functions. Further, declaring a function without var is not the same as throwing it into global scope, it can still only

I'm looking forward to getting a fitbit one soon. I have chose it because I don't like having anything on my wrists/arms, and it also should be more accurate since it sits in my pocket and not on my arms which may move when I

based on experience, i'm pretty sure Google maps will take train times into account. but you have to give it the endpoints of your journey and it doesn't actually show the times.

That does not make any sense. I don't expect Angular, for example, to tell me when I have a syntax error. Also, things are rarely so clean in browser-land, anyway. Just because you have a framework doesn't mean there's not an

there's a huge difference in what a startup is when it's 3-4 guys vs hundreds. The latter is not much different as working for any other company, and you can probably get paid in cash.

Correction: Backbone doesn't try to be the kitchen sink like Angular. Its source code is about 500 lines, and its docs say as much: "Two way data-binding" is avoided. While it certainly makes for a nifty demo, and works for t

You missed his point. His ideal job would give you enough diversity that you wouldn't feel you had to get that from outside work.

You can "aim high" working long days in your 20s, 30s, or 40s. But in your 20s maybe there's other stuff you want to do, like chasing college tail, or not having kids.
