I think this could be used by staff that aren't familiar with github/scared of it (this is more common than you think) to manage issues in a simple and familiar way. I think it would certainly be helpful in my organization, but l

I think if you have experience with JS in general and also experience with non-JS MVC frameworks you should be fine. The JS MV* frameworks are new and it would be ridiculous to assume that someone needs to know that if they are an otherwis

Or even better, are there any technical reasons why we couldn't just use email as an IM protocol? I'm thinking an extra header flag to denote that a message is an IM would be all thats needed to keep IMs out of your inbox (and th

You can use the organization issues dashboard. Its almost impossible to find though (you just reminded me of it and I had to hunt down how to access it: https://github.com/organizations/[Username]/dashboard/issues .

I think he's referring to an information architect, which could be its own profession, or fall into the role of a PM or UX person. Architect is somewhat of a generic term, but an information architect is an important role in many organizat

Oddly enough if you copy+paste the square to your URL bar it displays fine.

Thank you! I was about to do the same thing myself to get rid of all of bootstrap's gradients.

You can see plainly in one of the videos everyone running to the site of the bombing to help those in need; during 9/11 the same thing happened. Its only those people disconnected from the event (not everyone of course), fueled by vitriol

I think there will be some cool applications with this and a Rasberry PI. I'm floating around this half-baked idea of plugging Rasberry PI's into the light sockets of my home (since they're all central to the room [better for audio and mic

Try the Public Knowledge Project. You can contribute monetarily, by helping fix bugs in one of their open source software packages, or by finding one of the many open access journals that use their software and contributing articles or edi

Honestly, for personal projects, I just use the Apple Reminders app. It syncs across devices and is easy to get to/add to. For anything that is read by people other than myself though, I use Github issues or Youtrack.

I could never afford a real NAS, and I've used many DIY setups (linux boxes, mac boxes, with software raid) but I've settled on a WD MyBook for its pure simplicity. If you just need a file server and don't need tons of space (2TB is plenty

I've been thinking about this a lot lately -- What's most interesting to me is the implications for urban data modeling and prediction when the end user has full control of how the data is used. Remember that article a few weeks back about

I'd like to see how more traditional websites (i.e., not web apps but more like company web sites) are being/could be transformed by meteor. I'd like an excuse to work with it at my company (a creative agency) but we don't build web apps a

I just took a pay cut for a new job and I'm loving it (however, the pay cut is more about the region I moved to having lower pay overall). If you spend 8+ hours a day in the place, you should really enjoy it. However, as another poster sa

Plex and MyPlex is also a pretty good solution to watching your media library away from home. And Plex is really a great media center on its own.

That works for personal use, but when sharing between multiple people KeePass will get locked up when multiple people have the application open at the same time (despite warnings people will keep it open for long periods of time). This

Ooh, nice; I've seen this before too but forgot all about it. @ksokhan, maybe think of linking up the CDN URL's from cdnjs.com to your site? Your site definitely offers more as far as discoverability.

...Its just a list of JS projects -- Its much harder to browse IMO.

Would be great to have something like this also serve up the JS files via a CDN, and provide a JS-based loader (like require.js for remote scripts). Plus maybe dependency management?

Maybe they're just limiting their growth right now? I would agree that a dropbox revenue model in the future would be a lot better (especially considering how much they're comparing themselves to dropbox).

But what you say shouldn't be generalized to Canada; Gastown, which is probably the heart of Vancouver's tech scene, is spitting distance from the poorest postal code in Canada. Homeless people migrate to places like Vancouver and San Fran

Wait, so in previous versions, when you destroy a view, event listeners weren't destroyed? I haven't noticed any issues in my Backbone app but this seems like it could spiral into a memory issue.

I'll be waiting for this before I get a Fitbit. And excuse the imagery, but it seems you have to wear clothes in bed for the vibrate-to-wake feature to work with the existing versions ;)
