Cool. Looks like M is missing for the middle of the screen.

Heck, I took a big pay cut to be happier. I was a .NET entperprise developer in the six figures. There's something about building things otuside the box instead of being part of an…

If you like node.js, backbone.js, redis, mongodb and looking for an internship in San Diego, CA. Let me know. We're a small team with big plans.

It would be great if Mozilla followed through on their projects. Prism to Chromeless to stalled. Chromeless has potential to expand their core product, which is the browser. Why do…

Except you left out setting the prototype chain to extend from the super class. CoffeeScript expresses it succinctly. The example above, while readable, already has much more noise…

Love CoffeeScript, but yeah omitting parens makes it hard to read in this case. I follow Visual Basic convention. Use parentheses when using the return value. In this case, the con…

It's a big baloon payment. It is not FREE after the probationary period. There are definitely strings attached. There was a big stink about this with a well known open source .NET …

May I ask what is so bloated and unpolished? Back up your dribbling. I have been using iTerm for a while now and it's as fast normal Terminal. It has profiles. It has 256 colors so…

Nobody stays king for long. Social networking sites are only good until the next best thing. I'll bet a good dollar within 5 years Facebook will lose much of its popularity. Then G…

One of the reasons we did not switch from HAML/SASS/SCSS to LESS/Jade/Stylus is the output. HAML and its cousins do the extra little things to help developers diagnose problems lik…

"all you need to do is call eval on a JSON string to obtain a first-class Javascript object" need i say more?

There are already client-side MVC frameworks in place---sproutcore, backbone, ... Of course Microsoft will try to put "architecture quality" into their framework. Let's just hope w…

Where's the tutorial? Github pages for tutorial not doing anything. I'm very interested as this seems to allow more features than a Chrome Packaged Application desktop app.

As a long time .NET developer converted to Ruby and Node.js, you hit the nail on the head. The innovators and creative types are on the open source side. That is not to say I have …

Does not surprise me at all. I remember being in Japan in the service for only two weeks. Two things I remember: 1) I left a noodle restaurant and left a little too much for the bi…

U kidding? JRuby is slow to startup. The performance increase isn't realized until the JVM "warms" up. Good luck running JRuby on a 512MB VPS.

Agree with you. jQuery UI is not at the same level as jQuery. It hasn't been since day one. If it didn't have the jQuery name I wonder how popular it would be. On a related note, j…

There's a simple AppleScript which lets you do it though. I'm not on my Macbook otherwise I'd leave a link.

Mozilla has been using the term chrome for a while now ( http://www-archive.mozilla.org/xpfe/ConfigChromeSpec.html ). "Chrome is the user interface parts of the application window …

We're doing the same using Google Chrome Packaged Applications, which is based on Webkit. We use FireBreath NPAPI extensions for any OS specific enhancements. The end result is not…

Serious stack overload. Why so many sites to get answers? We need a "which site stack" to ask which stack site to go to. Isn't that what tags are for?

For rich JavaScript app I find Backbone underwhelming. There's too much wiring up to do and as you say you might as well bind events and actions directly. If you've written richer …

They lost 95% of the .NET developers. There's a command line involved.
