What are your thoughts on Mozilla's http://openbadges.org and have you considered integrating with them in some way? A single unified badges project would be very useful for online education as a form of showcasing accumulated knowledge a

I remember seeing steeltoe on reddit. I like the fact that it's simple and does its job. Care to share any more?

Good stuff there, but unfortunately we'll have to wait a few more years for these to be usable (at least for me). Modules, block scoping, default parameter values are great additions. Proxies sound good as well. On Maps, the concept is nice

Cool thanks. Isn't this ability a bit dangerous or worrisome? It means that for every Scala package you use you need to review the code. It does make a good prank though :)

On topic then, this is the first time I see Scala syntax and was somewhat pleasantly surprised (the only languages I really know are JavaScript and Python). On slide http://monkey.org/~marius/talks/twittersystems/#16 : case class Sto

Companies are increasingly opening up to the possibility of hiring remotely. It is a huge step forwards for any company to take but sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks so it happens [1]. I've been working remotely for about a year. We

I am really impressed with the direction Parse is taking. It seems to me they are fixing the right problems and they are doing it step by step. One thing I would love to see, is a way (an API) to abstract their Javascript library. I would r

This would be much much helpful if you had a single timer ticking and would check to see which callbacks it should call on every tick. I would think the goal would be to minimize the amount of timers you have on a page.

> This should serve as a loosely coupled, managed API server which acts as a load balancer to a larger extent, if it can intelligently cache requests and act like memcached for API requests. I would pay for this.

Is there a particular reason you are using Hawk.def and Hawk.gen instead of something more "traditional" like Bird = Hawk.create(...) falcon = new Bird(...) How do you deal with inheritance? falcon insteanceof Bird; // =&

I love the idea of viewmodel and automatic UI updates! What I don't really like is the implementation of that concept by these three frameworks. For example, from Knockout's homepage: http://knockoutjs.com/img/homepage-example.png That mi

My bet is on brain waves/some sort of EEG. I don't know much about the subject but at the moment it's impossible for a device like Glass to function as an EEG but I think we are not too far away (maybe 10-15 years) from figuring out a sexy

Or both. I admit that my primary motivation in completing my degrees was the huge amounts of money my parents have invested in me. Of course I liked (most) of the subjects I was studying and certainly that helped a lot.

So after all these years we continue to support the middle-man idea (Google) instead of trying to figure out a way to move away from that. It's not OK for people to not know how to use the internet.

I think this is not an opinion shared by many, although I find it to be spot on. It's very similar to what happened with notebooks or netbooks or whatever they are called - small laptops that are more portable than a 17' laptop. Yes, people
