For the libraries that do not conform to CJS or AMD, most loaders support a "shim" configuration: * http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config-shim To load a library that uses Node/CJS modules: * https://github.com/requirejs/cajon#why

An Oauth2 token via http header works very well. Of course, you'll want to send only encrypted requests.

One of the problems I have with that project is that none of the functions are namespaced or sandboxed (i.e. all global); but then again, it is emulating PHP, so there you go :)

I'd be more a fan of: - curl -s url-to-php -o ... - ./configure && make && make install But to each his own :)

Good call...and for those not necessarily using something underscore.js-like (thought almost always nice-to-have): var report = ['name', 'dob']; var person = { name: 'Andrew', dob: '1980/03/23' }; report.forEach(function(prop){

Other questions one might answer: - Were other libraries (YUI3, Backbone, Ember, ...) evaluated and if so, what were their weaknesses and how does this improve on that? - What are the core strengths of the framework?

It is actually a very strong language with a few very well known warts (like every other language on the planet has). The problem is that people try to use it as if it were Ruby, PHP, Python, Java. One can do that, but just know that it is

What everyone is missing with the filtering argument is: (1) normalization (things like trim, etc. so you don't do stupid things like invalidate an email address just because it was input with trailing spaces). The result is passed to a val

If you don't like that command, do this instead: > curl -s http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar -o $HOME/local/bin/composer ; chmod +x $HOME/local/bin/composer Assuming that $HOME/local/bin is in your $PATH, the current user wi

> What's wrong with array_keys? It's extremely useful. I don't think he was arguing about the utility. I think he meant that: array_keys($aHash); is less desirable than: aHash.keys. Also, if you you really look at the PHP example, the s

I love and use many parts of symfony2 (as well as other high-quality libraries); however, that doesn't change my highly negative opinion about the core PHP language. It is still a far cry from desirable, elegant, fluent, or expressive.

This is an excellent point that I think too few PHP developers care to admit.

Looks interesting; however, the signup form doesn't validate if there is trailing white-space in the email input box.

Personally, I find that Python and Ruby are comparable as it relates to utility. I'd think it is fair to say that argument is a wash. It is Ruby's expressiveness that makes it my choice before Python: --- Ruby --- letters = ['a', 'b', '

This is a great idea. A protocol/standard to handle front-end asset packaging. There will likely be suggestions to use existing tool X or Y; however, a non-language specific standard (as this article suggests) would be the most useful to al

Correct. It isn't just programming. You actually summarized it well when you wrote that people need to do other things (besides programming or besides whatever it is they identify so closely with) so that they don't resent others for "slidi

This is a pretty fair point you make; I do commend them for going as far as they went with helping the customer. That being said, I still don't believe that in this particular case (maybe they do in others) they live up to what they lead to

Sure, Square has to "live within the existing system"...in fact, from everything I've heard from them, their value-add is that while they live in it, they shield you from it. They are very sympathetic with regard to how crappy banking techn

I agree...I don't use Rails for production work (yet); however, I dig what is going on here and I've also donated. The Rails community definitely takes care of business and seems to have a much more entrepreneurial spirit than most (if not

While I agree that leaving the industry might not be the best choice (luckily she did not), we do need to realize that even though this happens in many other industries, IT is one with relatively few women in the first place so think of how
