I'm just amazed that yavascript wound up on top.

Personally, I think "cowboy coding" is the best derogatory name for this. IMO, what all of these ninjas have in common is that they don't realize that software development is a team exercise. Berkeley did a study on BSD and f

This is just going from version 1 to version 2. It's not like the new framework[1] that's replaced React. /s 1: https://github.com/developit/preact

Google does expect you to put in a lot of continuing effort to use their APIs as well. I suspect this is deeply engrained in their culture.

Or, you could spin this as ethical investing. Presumably, Thiel backed Hogan with an expectation of being compensated if Gawker lost the suit and had to pay damages. So, from an investment perspective, this was a good deal that paid off. It

I'm not using fastboot (just not worth going from rails to node in our use case) but if you have set that up, won't all of your users see a non-js website before they see your js website?

That is the greatest rebuttal of all time. There's no way I'm going to read that page so, instead, I'll just thank you for your diligence and be on my way.

because you aren't a qualified investor and the SEC mandates certain obligations that the company must comply with to have you as an owner.

I'd argue that there's a resurgence in non-JS web sites due to server-side rendering. React and Ember both support this really well at this point. So, you'll actually get a non-JS view of your SPA then progressively enhance t

I prefer mocha to qunit and I'm a fan of coffeescript (ES6 can wait. I love the existential operator). My company had made a few decisions before ember-cli that weren't on the Ember Happy Path. I've tried to stick to those de

This is why I like Ember: you get setup in 2 seconds. Sure, I don't like all of the decisions they've made in the framework but it does work really well out of the box. I think having a cli will become standard for JS frameworks.

The problem is working with fanboys who refuse to use the tools that you've spend a year or two investing in. When the people you work with throw away your projects every couple of months, there's nothing you can do to keep using

We started a brand new project in Ember (our second Ember project) in December; launched it in January. We've now started another project in Untangled because nobody wants to work in Ember anymore (apparently, it stopped being cool las

I think the difference is public vs private money. If we are in a bubble (which I'm not sure of but let's assume yes for the sake of argument) the investors that stand to loose their capital are all "qualified investors.&quot

It's not a claim. It's a bet with $100,000 backing it.

exactly. Rspec/rails is my favorite vim plugin but I really hate the time I spend waiting for the spec to run after I've typed \s (note: that's the actual key sequence not an indication that I'm being sarcastic).

Maybe I've missed the meme that Ruby isn't fast enough but I've always found the ability to easily write my tight loops in C and compile it as a Ruby module to make Ruby a go to choice _for_ high performance.

HN editorializes much more than Facebook.

Are you claiming that Facebook was responsible for the "free speech zones" that silenced our protest against the march to war in Iraq?

I was talking more of my experience than C projects in general. However, I'd expect a smaller percentage of C projects to support modules compared to Ruby given the differences in the language.

The only other C project I know of with a module system in Linux. I've actually found that Linux modules make development _much_ easier because you can isolate your code from the rest of the Linux code base. Of course, the last time I

What projects are people using Redis for? I'd love to know how others are using Lua or plan to use the new module system specifically. We're using redis as a queue (Sidekiq) and also to store the index.html page for our SPA. We ha

I'm confused. Are corporations only entitled to 2nd amendment protection when we're conflating money with speech or does it also count when it's actually speech?

There are 3 main areas as I see it: healthcare, foreign policy and rebuilding NYC after 9-11. On healthcare, she was influential in getting SCHIP going (after the Clinton administration took a huge hit for pushing for universal healthcare).

I like Hillary because of HillaryCare. It's what we used to call ObamaCare when Hillary was laying the groundwork for the ACA. I also don't care what she says; I'm looking at her accomplishments.
