Take a look at the source-- Backbone itself is written in the module pattern. Underscore and Backbone will both teach you a lot. This chapter from Eloquent Javascript will also help motivate the rationale behind Underscore: http://eloquen

Many friendly Linux User Group members volunteer to install and administer Ubuntu at public schools in the Bay Area. Ubuntu's a decent experience even with 256MB of ram, so schools can even reuse those 8-12 year old computers. Free softwar

I'm building a web-based IDE for Raphael in CS. My big pain point: when users define a function, JS Shell returns the JS version of the function. If the user types in a function name without calling it, they see the JS definition. Since

The issue is Ruby/Python/Java's semantics don't map perfectly to JavaScript. As it says in the documentation, the golden rule of CoffeeScript is "It's just JavaScript". For people who know JavaScript, it's not a new language-- just some sy

Whoa, same here. Got disillusioned with academic physics in college (though astronomers are cool). Been working through Haskell's Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours tutorial. There must be a few dozen of us.

The Wave-in-a-Box interface is quite barebones. Having to hack together something different in GWT is a pain though. The big advantage is the Federation protocol. Not only do you get OT between users, but between servers as well. You als

I took over the Aroma Tea Shop on Polk st for 3 months earlier this year. The biggest stumbling block was the landlord (a trust fund) dragged its feet and eventually denied my sublease application at the end of the 3 months. With a couple

Wave isn't being fully integrated into Google Docs. There's a large feature overlap, but the two products use different implementations of operational transformations (the heart of Wave's "liveness") among other things. Ideas from Wave ma

Play the board game Go. It's simple, tactile and astoundingly complex. I've found wrapping my head around that game is a similar experience to wrapping my head around programming concepts. Your son will come to you to play board games, wh

One solution is to have a "Todo" page in your Trac wiki-- but I agree, Trac isn't a great way to manage long-term planning and short-term todos. I use Redmine (redmine.org). It's got a great wiki and decent issue tracker. It also has foru

Redmine's got a ton of core functionality. Wiki, forum, repository browser, sub-projects, gantt charts-- a lot. Simple, straightforward interface with occasional quirks. I've found the plugins to be mostly non-functional. Figured I could

This would be a great side project for learning how to setup and manage a social Q/A site. I don't think it's a good business/startup idea though. It doesn't seem much different than Reddit, in particular. How about playing with the Reddit

I don't like the emphasis these companies place on "forever". To me, the tragic part about death on the internet is how confusing and muddled the event of death is. We leave behind aliases and loose ends in several different communities

I prefer the use pattern where all details of the transaction are summarized to the user, who is invited to press "Confirm". It's fairly strange behavior for your client's customers to have to enter in an identical value twice. Maybe use a
