   It's pretty cool. The entire meteor animation is done on canvas using javascript.

   I'm curious, what are you using activejob/sidekiq for?

   With a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache you should not be hitting the database very often. I take this a step further and cache the entire site (not just resources) on CloudFront.

   One thing that definitely can be improved is using "Controller As" syntax. It solves most of the $scope issues. Here's a good writeup: http://toddmotto.com/digging-into-angulars-controller-as-syn...

   Yes not to mention that displayName() will crash next time it will get called.

   That's because it checks every file that has /* @flow */. I'm guessing you're not running it on a specific file but instead on all files in the current dir and sub directories.

   Looks like a great tool. The documentation at http://flowtype.org/ is excellent. Should be easy to add it to a Gulp/Grunt workflow.

   To be fair, unlike google they are not cancelling any services. I think Amazon first builds these services for internal use, and then releases them to the public.

   There is no need to litter your HTML with non semantic div tags that just represent rows and columns. I'm a big fan of using a framework like Susy (there are others as well) that just lets you assign the number of columns an element sp

    Good read. After you finish this book I'd suggest the free Javascript Allonge https://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge/read An excellent intermediate/advanced javascript book.

    Writing is like any other skill. The more you practice the better you'll get. Keep writing, don't let some of the negative comments discourage you.

    For a solution for older browsers you can use fastclick.js ( https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick ). For angularjs webapps there's also ngTouch.

    Because you study and read the CSS source and become better at CSS. That is exactly what I did.

    The NSA must have somebody working on the inside at google. Otherwise it would be extremely difficult to reverse engineer the RPC protocol that was used by google's servers to communicate between each other. Even on an unencrypted net

    The website is very simple. Which means that it would not be a big deal to throw some media queries in and make it mobile friendly. This is 2013, I don't understand why rwd is still not applied everywhere.

    I do think LinkedIn has ill intentions. In my opinion, their intentions are to collect, analyze, and ultimately profit from their user's email data. All under the guise of offering some marginal benefit.

    This is essentially a mitm attack. I am amazed that a company the size of LinkedIn would think that this is in any way appropriate. These are the tricks of spammers and cyber criminals. This is what LinkedIn has become. Will customers be ex

    Another vote for Susy. It is ridiculously easy to create a responsive grid using their sass mixins. Susy should not be compared to Bootstrap/Foundation since it is just a small grid system and not a full blown framework. It can be comp

    Another option is using Grunt with the watch plugin.

    Great idea offering the online version free but charging for the convenience of an ebook file. I wish more authors would do this.

    You can run node on raspberrypi. I don't see how this is so much better.

    My (a couple weeks old) Ubuntu 10.04 server locked up, no ssh or VPN access but could ping it. I contacted support and was told to destroy the droplet and create a new one. Still have no idea why it happened or how to avoid it on my product

    If anything, I found his post discouraging. He's built a great app and only managed to get people to notice it when he made it free. If a top20 app only managed to earn under $500 what does it say about the current state of the app mar

    Thank you for posting. I think you will inspire a lot of younger devs to seek more meaningful employment than working for big corp. However I fear that you will lose your job over this post.

    This is great. I was planning to purchase a few of those services at full price anyways.

    I enjoyed SQL Antipatterns by Bill Karwin. Very easy to read and offers some practical approaches to common issues.
