Do you mean like npm's shrinkwrap [1]? [1] https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/shrinkwrap

Unfortunately that won't work as expected, you'll need something ugly like: Array.apply(null, Array(26)).map((_, index) => String.fromCharCode(65 + index))

I find it useful to have `unary` and `apply` around: [1,2,3].map(unary(User)) [[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]].map(apply(User))

In dynamic languages I don't see the need to create a Monad interface. I'd create classes/objects and simply use instances of those objects. As long as they conform to the desired …

Function declarations inside blocks are illegal, technically, because of hoisting. See http://kangax.github.io/nfe/#function-declarations-in-blocks

I was a Photoshop user for a long time, but haven't looked back since I moved to Linux full time a few years back. The challenge was to use libre software for everything and reduce…

Nice laptop, but unusable website. It takes 3+ seconds to at least see something, and the scrolling effect makes everything seem so slow. There is an obvious memory leak somewhere,…

I find this paper [1] very interesting and elaborates on this issue -- "From experience it appears that there are three major semantic hurdles which trip up novice imperative progr…

I agree. I think music and sports consciously impact your code as well. Skills with a mix of creativity and endurance are going to affect the way you think about problems, in gener…

Then Windows Update: "Your computer will restart in 10 minutes". Postpone 4 hours. Glad I'm on Ubuntu 99% of the time nowadays.

Australis looks nice in Ubuntu. The new menu is much better with big icons and can be customized however you like it. It's great IMO. I took a couple screenshots from latest nightl…

"You might not need jQuery" -- But you have to cope with ugly syntax, browser compatibility hacks, and disconnected pieces of code. By the time you re-factor all of this, make it u…

In LiveScript there's a := operator. From the docs -- "However, unlike CoffeeScript, you must use := to modify variables in upper scopes" -- I find LiveScript overall a better alte…

Looks like a nice library, but I'm not in love with the syntax; I find it a bit confusing TBH... But it packs some nice features, specially the validation and precendece awareness.…

You can use viewport units in modern browsers. See here http://caniuse.com/viewport-units

I'd use: bar = bar != null ? bar : 'default';

Ubuntu 13.10 on both desktop and laptop. I just love Unity.

Just an experiment. Gist https://gist.github.com/elclanrs/8034102

I would definitely go with ASUS Zenbook. I have the 13.3 Zenbook (i5, 4gb, 1080p) and I can code very comfortably on it. The IPS screen is great and even better once calibrated. It…

Well, I downloaded IE11 to replace IE10 on my VM, and all the issues I had with my current WIP are still present. I'm using `calc()` heavily for a quite complex responsive layout, …

ASUS Zenbooks are great, very light, solid aluminum build, 1080p IPS matte panel, 6+ hours battery life. I'm quite happy with mine.
