I can't see any reason why application logic would be any less robust on the client vs the server. With regards to authorization there's examples from the nosql world, e.g. couchbase's sync gateway[1]. You could argue that yo

I'd love to see a jsonapi[1] interface to postgres. I'm mainly building ember apps at the moment and the rails layer is really just an interface straight onto the database(all the logic is client side). [1] http://jsona

This might actually be a great vehicle for promoting more secure technology. For many people this hits a lot closer to home than any of the arguments that were presented with the NSA revelations.

Their proposed solution offers more flexibility in that you can use media queries to specify the upper/lower bounds and also specify the filenames. This feels over-engineered though, firstly because the above solution provides enough i

Another option would be to allow the source to be specified in css (stylesheets are loaded before images anyway). Then you could do <img id="cats" src="fallback_for_old_browser.png" /> @media (max-w

A simpler solution might be <img src="image.jpg" sizes="640,800,1024"/> Then then the browser can choose the most appropriate size based on the screen size. The filenames would simply follow the conve

This seems like a perfect example of a pattern applied in the wrong way. The builder pattern is supposed to be used to construct new instances (in other languages named parameters make it pretty redundant). I could perhaps understand allowi

Nice game! On an iphone I had my thumbs on either side of the hex, I find that I often hit the reset button with my left thumb, maybe move the controls to the top?

I use ember full time now but I have done projects in angular. IMHO the directives were by far the cruftiest part of the experience, they had their own structure which didn't really fit with the rest of the framework. This in part beca

I don't see any reason you couldn't have the greater of: a fixed term (say 20 years) or when the author dies (I don't have any problem at all with an author living off their own work for as long as they live).

It leaves me wondering, are the parameters also scoped to the class(seeing as they're declared at the same time)? Wouldn't this cause an issue with concurrent access to the function?
