It's funny to see the level of fetishism around sushi. Here in Japan the spectrum goes all the way from cheap 100-yen-a-plate sushi joints, to Jiro. So it feels like sushi is a dish just like any other. In fact it always seemed to me l

I agree that a lot of people have preconceived notions and can be prejudiced, but I think "very, very racist" is going a bit overboard. I don't think it would be very hard to find places that are a lot more racist that Japan.

Rather than evaluate every framework under the sun to try and find the one that's perfect for your specific situation and needs, I would probably focus on finding something that's widespread, well-documented, has a lot of momentum

Awesome to see the Kadira team branching out beyond Meteor-only content, can't wait to check this out!

A currency-independent parallel banking system that uses smartphone apps sounds like a very cool thing, actually. It almost makes me wish that we had a chance to see it implemented.

Out of all the technologies out there right now I would say Meteor is the fastest to learn to get a prototype out the door quickly. Rails is also always a good option since it's so popular. If your priority is building a prototype (and

I've been "stopped and frisked" in France before, and it didn't seem out of the ordinary at the time. I just assumed random identity checks was part of the police's job. So I wonder how other countries' laws co

Just because they've raised $20M doesn't mean every single positive comment about Meteor is part of their "PR machine". How do you know people are not genuinely happy with it? Disclaimer: I'm one of these "wide

Creator of Sidebar here. You're right, it's not the best showcase of Meteor. The reason it's this way is because it's running on a very old fork of Telescope ( http://telescopeapp.org ), and I haven't had

What's your criteria for telling that something was written by an evangelist and not just someone's actual positive experience with Meteor?

Nice tips. In Osaka there's Knowledge Salon in Umeda, but you need to know somebody there that can invite you as a guest, so it's not really drop-in… Oh, and you should also post this over at http://www.startjapan.org&#

It should, but it doesn't yet. It's on the roadmap though.

Thanks for using Telescope :) Let me know if I can do anything to help!

Very cool! Thanks for yet another great contribution to the Meteor open-source ecosystem.

While I agree in principle, I think it's fair to point out that glueing various libraries together takes a lot more work than using an all-in-one solution like Meteor. If you can do it, more power to you, but I'm pretty sure there

I think you're under the wrong impression. Meteor is somewhere between a platform like Node (which it runs on top off) and a full-fledged framework like Rails or Django. So I feel your criticisms are a bit unfair. Meteor doesn't p

I listed a few here: http://www.telescopeapp.org/blog/telescope-vs/ As far as I know Telescope is the most active open-source project of this kind though.

I'm really not sure what you're talking about. Do you have a specific example in code? Telescope is not the prettiest codebase in the world, but it uses relatively simple code. So I'm not sure which "unnecessary abstract

That's a fair point, and definitely something that needs to be fixed. We've been slowly refactoring the app into a better, more modular structure but there's still a lot to do.

I'm trying it out. As you might expect, it's very focused on US-centric journalism and news. Which might be great for some people, but until they add more personalization features or just get a bigger community it's probably
