Posted a much earlier version of this a while back, made some decent progress on it since then, but still a ways to go. Let me know what you think!

So I'm sort of nitpicking your comment here, but the purpose of @"" for verbatim strings wasn't created just to deal with directory slashes, it's just a handy way of writing string…

There's also a really nice pre-existing library for this: PathJS. https://github.com/mtrpcic/pathjs Been using this for a while, with a lot of success.

Since everyones already covered the Jetty side of it, I personally like Freemarker as a templating language. http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/ It's pretty simple and straigtforwar…

For rich client apps, having a router is useful in my experience. I've not used backbone however. What makes you think it seems out of place?

It does, when you install an app it lists out which parts of your phone the application can access (phone, internet, location, etc)

I'm pretty sure that both Microsoft and Sony are on a 10 year plan with both of those systems, which means you won't hear anything about a PS4 for another couple years at least. Th…

This seems like it's interesting but could really use some audio. This definitely comes off as a slide deck that someone used in a presentation and wasn't meant to just be read. Do…

This is a side project I've been working on for a few months now, and I'd really appreciate your input on it. If you're an artist or designer or just like art, it'd be amazing if y…

No, it's actually been around much longer than that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookss_law Not even sure if that's the origin of the phrase.

For a weird, distorting effect, press control to zoom all the way out and pan around. It seems that it tries to put you're view point "behind" the actual camera location. Not sure …

Does anyone have info on exactly what was done to make these? Is it just taking frames and stretching them vertically?

Ok... again, not trying to be combative but: a) This still doesn't really answer my question. b) Would it be illegal to put up a website and say that essentially no one can use it?…

Not being combative, just genuinely curious, but how is this not legal? If it's part of their ToS it seems like it would be enforcable.

If you haven't seen this yet, this is probably the best example of a hack like this that I've seen. It was submitted for a contest that radiohead held, and I believe was the winner…

As someone else mentioned in the thread, make the email address optional, with the understanding that without it they can't recover lost passwords. This is probably an unacceptable…

Is this really any different? They're just instating the VP instead, who I imagine is probably not much better. This might make sense if they're planning to hold another election s…

She has a blog post explaining the x's here: http://www.stubbornella.org/content/2010/12/09/the-hacktasti... Edit: I also agree with your sentiment. This seems to move away from wh…

Im curious as to how this works, but there doesnt seem to be any code examples and the download link seems non-existent. Can someone explain how this is used? Edit: Scratch that, t…

Somewhat related, but Joel Spolsky has a really excellent tutorial on Mercurial: http://hginit.com/ It covers a lot of the conceptual differences between the distributed version sy…

Honestly, I feel like the title here is a little misleading. The message from the netbeans team is that they just didn't have enough resources to support both Rails and upcoming Ja…

It works with some images, but not others. At first glance, it looks like maybe it just doesnt support PNG.

Yeah, the percentage statistics are worded kind of oddly. I tried spain, which has about 18% unemployment rate vs the US's 9%. It tells me I have a 94% greater chance of being unem…
