    My team works like this with a twist. You merge your own pull request. You have developers, designers, pm's, etc to help review the change. You use them if you need them and you ta…

    I'm not quite sure what you're getting at but it's weird to me too. You never know what lead to that decision (target markets, promotional video production issues, or maybe they ju…

    Mike Bostock is the author of at least three javascript visualization libraries that are in heavy use today. It's safe to say he's got a firm understanding of javascript. While inc…

    The author glosses over the fact that encoding of special characters in the hash is broken in firefox. As an application there's no way to know if you're getting the data you want …

    I believe even NodeJS's libuv came to the same unfortunate conclusion for non windows hosts. https://github.com/joyent/libuv http://nikhilm.github.com/uvbook/filesystem.html

    Lets not get rude, I've met some of them. They're bright folks using all sorts of technologies. I've seen vim and emacs (though mostly emacs). Their website does have some rough co…

    The video is now private, does anyone have a mirror?

    The painstaking lengths people go though in honor of Tolkien is amazing. Along those lines I think http://3rin.gs/ deserves a mention, especially as maps are a "visualization" of s…

    Know any port knocking as a service companies? If there was a reliable way to get a udp connection between hosts that I didn't have to write myself, I'd be tempted to take this on.…

    One of the bigger hurdles I had to deal with at my work at a :BigComapny was getting mongo installed. But even on our older systems I had no trouble with their provided packages. W…

    This is awesome! I think I know where I can offload my assembled older projects when I'm done with them. =) One note: When singing up you should redirect away from the registration…

    Humans are the resilience in any system. No system is ever perfect, and no system will ever be. I think we'll be fine.

    Just make little things. Backbone is fun, make some little backbone views/models, they'll work perfectly with any other JS you have. Want to try rails? Do another little project in…
