I have a pebble. It's a lot less disruptive to glance at my watch when something happens than it is to get out the phone. With my phone in my pocket, I'm less likely to fidget with it. And yeah- with my watch vibrating, I can leav

This is actually not true. If you're using polymer with the full webcomponents.js polyfill, there's a known bug which breaks contenteditable execCommand calls (which means a lot of rich text editors break when you include the poly

This is especially problematic for the market I work in - small shop, vertical market. Modern, fully-supported html5 and javascript means I can build cross-platform webapps that do really interesting stuff on desktops and mobile devices. Si

I'm currently on t-mobile, so the project fi network is at least as good as what I have now. The pay-as-you-go data plan is also going to work out to be cheaper for me - I currently have the 3 gig plan with rollover, because every few

Huh, ring.to looks like a good idea. I can switch my handset number to being just my plain-old GV number I've had forever, and port my legacy cell number to ring.to and set up autoreply on SMS and some other stuff just to help the tran

by pfooti 11y ago
Yeah, I did the same thing. The problem is just that a small percentage of my friends and family still call my original actual cell phone number instead of the GV number. Moving to fi would mean I'd keep the GV number but lose the olde

Huh, the part where you can either keep your original handset phone number or your GV number on one account (but not both) is problematic. I've been trying to get people to call and text my GV number for ages, but some still use my leg

Self-driving cars will be the future, as long as they're all rock-solid on cooperation. Imagine normal intersections, with inefficient stop lights where half the cycle is idle (all the cars on the green side went through already) due t

This is a fascinating meta-post. First, it's a slideshow, so there need to be some posts about right arrows and general complaints about scrolling (as if Eich created this content himself to post to HN, instead of to be a speaker aid f

I think one could argue that function scoping is no longer necessary - there's nothing you would do with function scoping that you couldn't do with lexical-block scoping, since with lexical scoping, you can still declare variables

I have a very fine stainless steel mesh strainer for my aeropress (replacing the little paper discs). Using it, I'm able to let the coffee steep for 45+ seconds, gaining the benefit of the inverted method without needing to mess around

Socket.io also transparently handles sessioning and resuming of sessions (automatic reconnect), namespaces, filters, and a ton of other useful stuff for a moderately-complex application. If I'm just sending events between client and se

For what it's worth, my gulp build handles both ES6 and Coffee files (although coffee is being phased out it is still present) on both the front (angular) and back (node) ends. It then takes the built files, merges the two streams (as

In my experience using grunt, gulp and broccoli as task runner / build systems for complex applications, they all end up doing about the same thing. In a way, it makes a lot of sense that broccoli is part of the Ember-CLI system - I fo

Yeah, all the people I know who have a pixel (three) spend a lot of their time in linux. I think that the pixel is better conceived of as a really, really nice linux laptop rather than a netbook. That said, the market there is probably real

I'm torn here. I agree that this is one of the Nice Things about javascript - I can do stuff like let foo = opts.foo || 'default' Which is nice. On the other hand, if you look at how V8 does its JIT compiling, it seems

Interesting quotes from Eran Hammer: "0.12 is DOA" and "There is little doubt that io.js represents the future of node" All in all, I agree with his sentiment- the 0.12 and io.js versions of node are both interesting-loo

The story I got from the article is (a) feminine presenters are more likely to get that kind of feedback, and (b) masculine presenters are more likely to get feedback on the content of the presentation.

The typescript move is more along the lines of "we had these extensions to typescript we were calling AtScript, but now they're included in the forthcoming release of TypeScript, so we'll just call it Typescript". It doe

FWIW, I have a regular pebble, and was a KS backer from the first campaign. I'm considering a second backing, mainly because the delivery date is may 2015, which is probably late enough that I'd be in the market for a new one anyw

I work for a nonprofit, and this looks interesting. However we do already get Salesforce at a ridiculous discount, as salesforce has a great nonprofit pricing scheme. That said, the real price of salesforce is in hiring people to write apex

Huh, wow. I hadn't realized template strings can be used that way in ES6. Here I was ready to snark about sql injection. Instead I ended up learning that you can really tweak how these template strings get compiled into code, in such a

io.js is built against a much more current version of V8, which notably has default-on support for a lot of ES6 stuff. Quite frankly, as a casual node user myself, I'm sticking with node v0.10 for the time being. I want to see how ever
