Have you tried coffeescript? Your examples are pretty close to valid code that does what you want.

If you use the Travis CI integration, it actually tests the result of merging a PR, rather than the branch being PRed. This seems to solve a lot of problems on projects with thorough testing.

I haven't read it too carefully but typically something like this would be done by having one program run on the port in question and then it would determine which protocol a given connection is speaking and hand it off to a different

I'd like to second this. Where I work we get catered lunch, and it's clearly a win-win. Getting food outside the office is at least a 15 minute round-trip and, amazingly, almost always costs more than catering. We also have a go

Yeah, those hexagonal offices are on the next floor down.

While it has meant both every two weeks and twice a week for a long time, this is an interesting case where convincing people otherwise would pretty clearly improve our language. Even the page you linked to implies this: > The ambiguous

I'm late to the party here, but `free` is a no-op on a null pointer. So checking for null is just duplicating the first thing `free` does.

Watch the video - the door rotates 90 degrees (like a normal garage door), so it's half the height of the door rotated into depth.

I work at Trello. I believe we're seeing ~1000 updates/sec and ~10000 reads/sec at peak. That said, our data is split across 7 shards. Total documents count is in the low billions.

I think you're conflating the public/private divide with the college/university differences. I went to a public college, which avoids the issues inherent in enormous universities without the skyrocketing costs.

"JQuery is bad because some people who use it do unrelated things wrong"? Should I stop driving because some other people who use cars happen to cheat on their taxes?

> Airfares are most definitely higher than they were in the mid 2000's We've established that. The data shows that flights this year were about 13% higher than at the lowest point, which was 2009 (recession). They are a littl

That's a deeply misleading summary of the data. The table excluding inflation is meaningless in the context of parent's comment, so I won't even touch that. Real prices have dropped 14% in the past 19 years, and have been ba

For others who are confused by this syntax, it appears that there are *'s that got eaten and turned into italics.

I don't know what logic you're using, but it didn't come from my post. As I pointed out elsewhere, I didn't make any value judgments. I claimed, essentially, that someone taking a job hurts others who may have competed

I thought that "local labor market" implicitly only contained people who were local and could do the requisite labor, but that might not be the agreed-upon meaning. Sorry for the confusion. Strawman-ness is contextual. You were

4k would exceed that significantly on a 6" display. Thus why parent compares an 8k phone to the 24/192 discussion - the benefits are nothing more than being able to advertise a larger number.

Okay, fine. I may have sounded as if I was trying to be precise, when in fact I'm just trying to point in the right direction. Let's try "every H1 is a positive percentage of a job a citizen isn't getting". This d

by thedufer 12y ago
Note that there's no value judgment being made here. Nor am I claiming that H1s are low paid. You're still arguing against the same strawman. To reword: if an H1 gets a job, a qualified citizen is not getting that job. Except

by thedufer 12y ago
I don't think the point you take issue with is really debatable. The only way it could not be true if there is actually no one in the local labor market who can do the job, and that's a very difficult argument to make. Outside o

There's virtually no cognitive load if you already know music theory . That's a very important distinction - music theory in its current state is completely undiscoverable for no good reason. How undiscoverable? I grew up in a

In my formulation, x is the proportion and L the total weight, so I believe it would be x^2 L/2. I also just realized that the denominator ought to contain xL, not L. My solution is a mess, clearly. The original idea is right, though

by thedufer 12y ago
That was the point hundreds of years ago, but its now fairly inaccurate. For the purposes of food labeling, a fluid ounce is defined as 30mL, which makes a fluid ounce of water weigh almost 5% more than an ounce. Sodas are typically more

Hrmmm. I did a full write-up assuming that worked, and then managed to convince myself it didn't. Looks like you're right, though. Here it is: Let's call C the weight of the can, L the weight of the liquid, and x the propo

#10 seems to have confused a number of people, so I'll share my thoughts. The reason that decreasing the amount of liquid lowers the center of gravity is that you're removing liquid from above the center of gravity. Likewise, the

I think you may be behind the times when it comes to psychology. Modern psychology looks down on Freud and isn't based on it at all. As of a couple of decades ago, parts of psychology would probably be well classified as pseudoscienc

Can you share your definition of pseudoscience? You are clearly using quite a different one from the rest of the commenters here. Under the usual definitions, philosophy is neither science nor pseudoscience, and psychology is firmly in th

"broadcast" is the wrong word here. The whole point of Aereo is that it was unicast, which is hard to rationalize as being different from running a wire.
