I just switched to a sit/stand desk. I'm not ready to go full-treadmill, but it has helped my back. Getting a pad for your feet is crucial, though. I also wrote up my research / materials here: http://goo.gl/JxhMq

This was a polite way of saying that the blog is pretty darn unreadable. It really does hurt my eyes. Content sounded interesting, though.

I don't think this is new. I abandoned FB about 2 years ago, and maybe a year ago I re-established my account just to setup a developer key using OAuth2 for an app I was building. I also got locked out of my FB account at that time, and i

Try ng-grid http://angular-ui.github.com/ng-grid/ -- to get editable cells, you just make your own cell template. Fairly straightforward. I just built something with this, and it worked out nicely.

Do you really lack this much tact? Why not build up your own YouTube frontend without any framework / library -- post it here, and then we can chide you for all the time you spent re-inventing numerous wheels?

Most of these individual pieces can be had through many other vendors for a fraction of the cost. Volume isn't limiting factor here.

Patents aside, I'm always amazed at how well Sparkfun does when their prices are marked so ridiculously high...it seems like a business experiment to see how much margin they can squeeze out of a customer.

I'm using AngularUI for the nice google maps directives, but this one appears to have some nice directives (e.g. date/time pickers) that don't require me to pull in jQuery-UI...which I welcome with great zeal.

I can confirm that there is very little coverage of these topics -- perhaps a bit about ES5, but I've read the MEAP, and I don't recall reading anything about the rest of them.

by zenocon 14y ago
I bought the MEAP a long time ago (allows you to read chapters as they are released...before edit), and I've casually read along. At the time, JS was not a strong language for me; I've put in the effort to reverse that. The main approach

I don't think you read it very carefully; the second sentence links to the earlier article where they list the reasons they chose that tech over others. > I wrote about what I was thinking at the time here [1] [1] http://codeascraft.et

why not? admittedly, i didn't use nzbmatrix, but i do use nzbsearch and the ui is simple, easy to use - search is ok , but it seems to get the job done.

I'm old too (using USENET since mid-90s). There are other indexers out there. Try http://www.nzbsearch.net/ , http://binsearch.info - and if that one goes belly up, there will be others, or install your own private indexer (or write yo

I bet Team Romney / Orca would have paid handsomely for this at zero-hour, despite all the cost-cutting they did up front.

Thanks for the downvote. I felt the conversation was civil and fine until it seemed I struck a nerve with you. I still haven't really heard why just reading some advice here http://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/10/10/kalzumeus-podcast-3-grow...

You make some valid points. I am undercharging. Most projects I go into, I end up doing the work of 5-10x of their engineers. I know this. I've known it for a long time. It is the reason I went into consulting in the first place -- that

Why not just raise your rate regardless of some book -- isn't that really the take away message? I've also been consulting as an independent for 7 years now. I have not raised my rate, but nor have I lowered it (ever). I have turned down

Exactly. ..and while I can appreciate the frustrations and tales of woe, I read the #*%#k out of the docs as well as build a number of prototypes before I go all in. I also read all the top questions on StackOverflow on that tech, as well
