For stuff I need to be remotely accessible, I use BitBucket and a commercial GitHub Private account. For stuff that can be local only, a series of local git repos. If security is a…

Also useful in HTML/CSS/JS-driven desktop UI through Chromium or similar as a way of preventing selection on user interface chassis elements.

Interesting ah..perspective. To me, and to most builders, Windows desktops, and OS X / Linux desktops, are far more viable than iOS or Android; not less. Even John Gruber admits th…

@sprucely -- thanks for the downvote -- you prove my point. https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=sprucely

"In preparation to join US wars, Japan dismantles freedom of the press". What US wars? Populist hogswaddle. Such assertions should be backed up if you're going to make them. As for…

Secretly one of the better authoring tools out there, but handicapped by an association with "Windows Live" (worst brand ever) and by an overly Windows-centric architecture. This t…

Possibly just Round 2 of the massive DDOS from March: https://github.com/blog/1981-large-scale-ddos-attack-on-gith... http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/04/ddos-attacks-that-cr..…

Nice! I had fun with this, especially comparing Ember's half a meg footprint to Backbone's 20K. One helpful data point could be whether the library supports a (formal) custom build…

Location: Charlotte, NC (USA) Remote: Your choice Willing to relocate: Yes Technologies: Grue hunting and delousing and left-handed spin-widget analysis. Also any major web or desk…

It would be nice if you wouldn't derail the conversation with another tired old "but it's not as good as gcc when it comes to X". This is a CTP. You split hairs over minor points o…

This is just outright disingenuous. Both books have ample violence and the Quran specifically commands followers to chop off the body parts of the infidels. I can quote you the ver…

Atwood was (is) a C# developer, and before that he was a VB.NET developer. These days he also does some Ruby and a bunch of other stuff. His initial MS/.NET focus and more generic …

I don't think they would've chosen C# at all were it not for ASP.NET MVC . It was the MVC, more than anything else, that made lean-and-mean WISA stacks possible. C# with ASP.NET MV…

It was difficult for me to get past the self-referential (and reverential) tone of the writing, which felt more like an advertisement for the author's cleverness than a real discus…

I've always thought of a lot of DFW's writing as a kind of programming. There's the main narrative thread of whatever he's talking about at a given time-slice, then there are the "…

Grew up in Boston and spent more nights in the stacks at the BU bookstore than I can remember (third floor). I never met him and wouldn't have recognized him if I had but I stumble…
