There are HTML comments in the JavaScript at the bottom of the source, sandwiched in between the GA tracking code and some Google optimizer stuff. I didn't get any JS errors, so is that legal? Are the comments stripped before the text conte

This and js2-mode make Emacs a ridiculously good JS editor.

We are at SelfServeApps and it's awesome. Not only is ES5 a decent language but our stack is incredibly simple (great when you don't have a sysadmin). We install node on a frontend server and run our app, that's it. It talks to our backend

Sometimes WiFi is flaky and turn it off in favour of 3G (maybe the router needs a reset, or cable internet is out). For some unknown reason Scrabble recommends that you turn WiFi off and BlueTooth on to play multiplayer w/ an iPad as the bo

So true. I still like my iPhone (jailbroken, sbsettings ftw) but I complained about this exact same thing long ago around 2003 when I had one of those badass HTC phone-PDAs[1] with Windows CE. Quick 1-2 tap access to that stuff is a must fo

I don't think hard numbers were the focus of this post, and 10% vs 12% doesn't really change her point as far as I can see. edit: Even 20% doesn't change her point or personal experiences.

True, ymacs is probably not the right solution for a touch device. You'd have to have a keyboard visible almost all the time. Maybe using a hardware keyboard would be a requirement. Without a keyboard the iPad would still make a good code v

May as well be web based imo. Editor + github/bitbucket + codepad[1] functionality sounds really interesting to me. [1] http://codepad.org/ For the editor ymacs and of course bespin would be good choices.

I don't know enough here to say anything definitively, but I think knowing there's a conflict is half the battle. UTC timestamps are great but clocks have to be perfectly in sync which is unlikely even w/ NTP. And as you mentioned doesn't w

Comparing dates that aren't UTC is a pretty amateur mistake. Comparing timestamps alone is a mistake too. It doesn't really matter why it broke to be honest, something like that has to be perfect or it's useless. After it breaks for someone

The Sphinx website mentions scaling but just throws numbers out there without mentioning scaling out. Assuming it is distributed you'd have to run benchmarks with your data and queries to really know how it'll perform against Riak Search fo

At this point I think pretty much everyone agrees that Android is well on the way to gaining the lagest market share, at least over the next few years. Windows Phone 7 is the only competition and it's pretty green. iOS and webOS are tied to

Because no editor is perfect. They all have annoyances that you notice after using them for long enough. I bounce between TextMate and Emacs for that reason. TextMate can't indent properly because it doesn't actually parse code. If a functi

There's a lot of value in how easy TM makes snippets and all that. Yes a lot of free editors do more but it often requires more effort too. TM is well worth the money for that reason.

Just like Emacs and vi eh? TextMate is pretty extensible. Extensible enough anyway, and you don't have to commit to a single language for extension, which is pretty cool. I like Lisp and hate vimscript, but when extending TextMate I can use

Well, they don't. That XP users are likely to have something installed that has dragged in .NET doesn't change that fact.

The fluid nature of HTML is fantastic as well. Insert a div and the other stuff moves to make way for the new element. Remove it and things pop back. That sort of thing is a major PITA with standard Cocoa views.

TextMate is pretty popular and very productive, and it basically goes w/ the vi model. You extend it using external scripts, i.e. a bunch of little helper programs.

Of course. But I never grew up in the days of ttys or 80x25. By the time I started using unix, Linux and FreeBSD had framebuffers and even on the console I had something like 132x43. I did edit some HTML with edit.com in DOS but I switched
