   Still suffering a pretty crippling depression from that loss, was hoping to at least escape it with sticking with HN and other of my non-sports related content sources.

   I'd think the use case being addressed in the article (having to share backbone views that can be rendered either on the client or server) would be the sweet spot for node.

   I don't understand his point regarding higher resolution displays as enablers of "flatter" design. Wouldn't textured, skeumorphic designs benefit as well?

   Wow, thanks for building this! It's leaps and bounds more usable (and fast) than the official jQuery docs.

   Not only that; but I find the use of CoffeeScript to be distracting when trying to learn the fundamentals of Backbone (which isn't really more 'optimized' for development with CoffeScript, despite the fact both were created by Jeremy Ashken

   Maxwell's equations were not "written down to explain it to someone who doesn't already know what it means". They, quite simply were written down to express relationships between the motion of charge, and the behavior of electric and magne

    The whole point of Bitcoin is to act as a decentralized currency free from the controls of banks, other financial institutions and government fiat. How does Bitcoin-Central square with those aims?

    I don't get it, is the value of hosting projects on your own servers worth the substantial leap in cost over GitHub.com?

    The UI performance was so abysmal for me that it didn't make up for the higher resolution. Spending 4k on the maxed out spec system, and having to deal with sub 20 fps while scrolling a web page is just ridiculous (and one of the main reaso

    I don't think i'll ever fully understand this approach. Most of the web is simply broken without javascript.

    Sorry, I should have clarified a little better. I'd like to avoid installing anything on a server to make this happen. (My development workflow/environment is completely decoupled from any servers I control: I use Parse.com as my backend w

    Tangentially related, but does anyone know of an easy way to push a github repo to an S3 bucket (configured as a public site)? I'm pretty new at git/github, but understand that the solution may involve a post commit hook that somehow calls

    Here's an off the wall idea that i'm not sure is even technically feasible, but: How about a way to "OCR" the drawn interface in a way that the software is able to parse the elements out (buttons, toolbars, swatches, etc.) maybe using the i

    "1) Their sales and marketing expenses are incredibly high." I see this point being made in pretty much every Groupon related analysis. Why is it so expensive, and why isn't anything being done to cut down on these costs? I'd think that o
