Maybe somebody can translate the last paragraph into English for me. I read the preceding paragraph several times and I'm coming up empty: Based on our experiences at Filepicker.io we learned that it is important to delineate the dif

What's wrong with using Rails to run your blog? If your website is built on a given web framework, it is often more sensible to run the blog on that than to introduce a standalone blog engine.

Wow, who would give a program like "iCloud" access such that it could wipe your mobile, tablet, and PC? I hope the author can recover his data, but it sounds like he set himself up for disaster by linking all his systems so strongly.

Likewise for DejaVa Sans Mono. Try as I might, I never could detect any difference between your favorite and myown.

I like to flip a book open that I'm considering at a store to random sections. Not one of 20 pre-selected pages offered in some online shop, but just random places, so I can see if it's my speed. This has saved me from purchasing many (seem

I think you and I are saying the same thing, but to be clear, this was "common sense" on CLJ long before mainstream libraries adopted the practice.

Regarding #2, regulars on comp.lang.javascript have been saying this since at least 2008, notably in critiques of jQuery. Resig even posted to some of these threads defending jQuery's misbehavior (though I don't recall if he defended browse

Agreed. I had no idea why this was notable (it is tragic, no doubt) before reading your comment.

Does that include charter schools? Because those are public as well. I think you are ill informed. I also think that "LOL." is an immature and inappropriate way to make any point.

Did you not read the headline at the top? Note: This document is very very old. It describes a speed comparison between archaic versions of SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL. The numbers here are old enough to be nearly meaningless. Until it

As a starting point, your logo is confusing ... I thought you had used some fancy unicode "F"-like character ... but you are substituting a ? with a "-" for "F"? Seems off.

This isn't a reason at all ... if I'm trying to sell web software as a product and not as a service, there's a very good chance I'm going to write it in PHP, and neither myself nor my customers will care that PHP internals lack documentatio

I note the same in another part of this thread, showing how you can write his JS in less CS code. However, I'd argue that the reason most people are adopting CoffeeScript is for the "class ... extends" as it lets them model their JavaScript

I am not a fan of CoffeeScript for my own reasons (it doesn't offer enough for me to drop drop JS), but there is nothing stopping the author from writing his CS like so: move = (aDistanceOf) -> it = @name or "It" alert argum
