Openresty and Lua are great, but Go is a more generally applicable language for building web services. So when taken in that context Go makes more sense if we look at it as a learn…

We did have some configuration - it was stored in Varnish and Nginx. The time cost of shipping new redirects when content is moved or new routing configuration for new tools coming…

Not sure what that has to do with semantics. Are you saying that NAV etc. aren't valid semantics on applications?

PATH, exec-path etc. are mangled because of the way OSX loads environment variables. Here's an Emacs package that fixes that: https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell

This is a great move for me, and I hope ultimately for Ben. This way I'm empowered to fix my own issues, and pay someone else to run it for me.

It didn't test well: http://digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/2012/10/03/why-weve-chan...

It's opt-in, otherwise most packages would break. To enable it per-file use a file-local variable: ;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

Not sure about radio, but black and white TVs are cheaper (£49 vs £145.50). http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/about/media-centre/news/black-a...

I think the learning programming thing falls under "personal creative projects", and I am with you 100%.

Dashes map more cleanly to existing CSS syntax, eg nth-child, background-color, etc. Much like camelCase looks more like Javascript than my_variable.

It might force the developers to commit more in the granular Git way, but it doesn't force bug reporters and discussions to be more mindful. Looking at my timeline, and following B…

WebSockets don't have much startup time at all really. If you're using Socket.io or another Flash-based abstraction you can expect long lead/start up times due to the Flash policy …

Emacs gets a new release frequently. 24.0 is about to come out (it's in pretest), and 23.4 was just released. Also, since it's a Lisp machine, it doesn't necessarily need to have I…

Multi-threading is asked for because when you run a complex thing in a single buffer (i.e editing something over Tramp mode, compilation, magit doing Git operations etc.) it can bl…

I was specifically addressing the notion that gambling is risky or "low profile" (which I assume to be a synonym for shady) with regards to the "appetite for risk" reason stated by…

Disclaimer: I'm a Smarkets employee. Well it's not entirely clear that it's just related to gambling - Betfair, the UK's largest betting exchange, do all their merchant transaction…

`i` is for "italic", and that quote means that you should be using `font-style` instead of an HTML element to make your text italic.

Because it's not an app in the regular sense, it's an email filtering and tagging web service. You'd be paying for their servers crunching your emails over the time you were subscr…

We use Erlang to run our (several million messages a day) WebSockets implementation. It's been fine, way more stable and less resource intensive than the equivalent Tornado server.…

Not sure about having an editor in a browser, but if you want a (mostly) decent IRC client in the browser you could try: https://irccloud.com/ I have 3 invites if anyone wants to e…

If they're using Node (and I assume they are, based on the fact that it's a Node.js podcast), I don't really understand why they wouldn't render the HTML server side (I may be show…

It's not another JS template engine - it's a pure JS implementation of Mustache that's apparently significantly faster than Mustache.js. They also support compiling of templates fo…
