About loginx

I'm a software architect located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. I'm very interested in discrete mathematics & algorithms, cloud computing, Javascript/Typescript, ruby, python, web frameworks, and RDBMS.

I'm also a co-founder of Opreto; a software consulting firm that specializes in running dedicated project teams.

    What business? This seems to be completely free, with no pricing, in-app purchases, or anything. That being said, it's strange that it doesn't seem to be open-source.

    One thing I always appreciated about CoffeeScript was its [heregex syntax]( https://coffeescript-cookbook.github.io/chapters/regular_exp... ), which made regexes clear and easy to …

    I got a stylus for my iPad and i felt that way at the beginning but I learned that i visualize in my head what I'm going to create right before I draw, and the difference between w…

    Does that do the same thing as simply putting quotes around your search term?

    Well, I think a lot of the uptick happened last week because that's when it was published in the Toughtworks Tech Radar for this quarter. The audience is large, presumably larger t…

    If you haven't already, set up a profile on upwork. The barrier to entry is a lot lower on short term projects, so you are more likely to find some work to keep your finances from …

    I think this is exactly what I've been looking for. I like going for walks and listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and I've been using Google's recorder as a way to "highlight" m…

    I think you're not seeing it mentioned here because this is comparing apples to oranges. Node is not a web development platform, it literally IS only a runtime. Rather than compari…

    I love it, excellent work! One thing I noticed is when signing up with github, it requires read/write access to all repos. Does it write anything, or is that just the only access c…

    The planning and project management aspect sounds like it's straight out of a post apocalyptic bureaucratic nightmare. It was intended to be a strike drone, but wait, let's flip th…

    Where did they announce that? I still have that setting enabled, and I'm using it for backing up exactly the same way you described, so I really hope this doesn't just get magicall…

    Pardon me if I'm being dense here, but can't you just try out reasonML with a quick npm install from any platform? That's what they say in their "Quick Start" docs here: https://re…

    I would say, that's exactly what you want from your honeypot. What I don't really know, I guess, are the legal implications of entraping people on such a mass scale. I'm also not s…
