I think jq's data methods allow you to store any type of object. So in the example above, '60' would be stored as a Number and not a String. When you extract it, you would get the Number and this helps if you want to do any m

Qasar's story is amazing and inspirational. Was he able to convey his story in his application to YC and is that the reason you selected him in? Or did someone at YC already know him to be able to truly appreciate his achievement? I ha

While this format may not work for everyone, for a UI person, I think this is an awesome way to apply. Great Job! How difficult would it be for you to allow printing in a resume format (hidden div with info, activated using the CSS print la

I like the landing page. As I was reading through, I found something you may want to correct: "Take more photos anyway! ... so you can _you_ enjoy all ..." There is an additional "you" in this sentence. Just to clarify, I am not trying to o

Wow! Thanks for replying. I have already been down-voted once for what I posted and was beginning to think my comment was a huge mistake. As hackers we get trained to look at details. So I was hoping others on "Hacker News" would understand

I know this is a minor issue. But when I publish something I want people to inform me of problems. Please note that I don't mean to be disrespectful and just want to help. So here goes: 3rd sentence: "There's a talk I've always want to give

FWIW, the google service mentioned in the article works via https as well. [ https://www.google.com/s2/u/0/favicons?domain=css-tricks.com ] I think the best way to handle this would be to remove the scheme from the background url. So it wou

"imagine you woke up tomorrow and there was no google". So you mean there would be no analytics (something gizmodo probably uses), no gmail, no google docs, no code.google.com and on top of it I would have to use Bing! That seems like apoca

The spec has provisions for automatic semicolon insertion that need to be considered carefully before deciding to completely ignore them. Now consider that http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/index.html says the following: "Bootstrap is d

I have created a repo at git://github.com/rajivnavada/bootstrap.git that addresses this issue in the Makefile. Basically, I added a 'proper' target that 'bootstrap' depends on. This target simply adds the semicolon to the end of the file

by Rajiv_N 15y ago
Yeah, I've been thinking about doing this. I was kinda hoping that the missing semicolons were just an oversight on the bootstrap teams part. Now that I know there is some demand for a branch of this sort, I'll share it ASAP. EDIT: the repo

Thanks for drawing my attention to this. Currently, I maintain a separate branch simply for adding the missing semicolons so that I can link the individual bootstrap files with my project. It's been quite annoying and I now know that the an

I think you are over-analyzing. Like others have said in this thread, TO's are expected from PG's. While, these stats need to be considered, you should also consider the timing of these turnovers. If his team is up 15 with 1 minute to go an

Is the SC namespace going to stay or is the code going to be refactored (ex: SC.Object becomes A.Object)? Just curious. For the name, how about dotbind.js :)? (I LOVE SC.Binding)

I especially like the logging feature. Haven't had the chance to look at the code yet but how tightly coupled to mongodb is this? Would it be relatively easy to replace the store with redis?

Maybe we should let LaTex be the way it is now and focus instead on generating better HTML authoring tools. With eBooks becoming more popular, there is certainly a need for such tools. While I understand HTML is no match for the power of La
