I'm already organizing one together with a friend. Stay tuned. We'll post some details later when we figured out a good date. In the meanwhile, if you'd like to propose an interesting talk, just send us a mail to hackernews

Let's say you want to define a function to be used for a certain operation on two numbers dependent on some boolean. if (addition) { // operation = add } else { // operation = subtract

The variable declaration is hoisted to the top, then is assigned a named function expression `func` so that `func.name === 'func'`. Useful for proper error messages and stack traces. Something else I'm missing?

It's actually slightly annoying that Github sorts the commits by commit date instead of the author date. When you rebase your branch a few times to clean up the history, you may end up with a PR commit overview that does not chronolo

5. A gear is no longer (and was never) either mechanic or organic, it's simply a pattern for solving a certain type of problem. Humans and evolution both found it, but it's more useful for humans.

I was at the BattleHack in Berlin. The event itself was absolutely fantastic. It was definitely the best organized hackathon I've ever been part of. Still, the final results felt similarly weird. The winner was a (non-technical) dude

If you make your `db.load` method resolve the promise with `this` (where `this` is `db`), and do the same for `setupDB` and `collectData` you can easily chain them without having to have a reference to `db`. db.load() .then(se

But the size of the number is such a programming-centered view of things. In my opinion it doesn't at all reflect the mathematics behind it. It's completely dependent on the representation of the number, which could really result in anythin

I think you're both talking about the same thing. Basically, if you realize you had a typo somewhere in an early commit, or some other random easily fixable error that you simply overlooked and thus isn't part of the evolution of developmen

I think the intended point was that you should always work on feature branches, never on master, rebase your feature branch work against upstream/master which is the one true published history and thus never rebase master. In this workflow

I honestly don't feel like any of the "large scale (JS|Backbone) applications" posts really addresses the difficulties you run into when scaling JS applications. Most of these things are common sense (eg. "use namespaces", "make use of co

Interesting, I didn't realize that. Thanks for informing me. I guess 'hype' travels a lot faster than truth.

From what I understand, this is not about cookies. It's about cookies storing information about pending server-side background tasks so the cached parts of a website can be sent out immediately and the slower server-side tasks can send ov

The original link you submitted is very interesting as well. From what I understand this massive text describes a simple automatic caching strategy. A part of the system figures out what resources are requested the most and caches them. The

I just looked at http://www.instadesk-app.com and noticed that you forgot to add class="teaser-imag-container" to two of your slider image containers. That causes the padding to be off and the images overlay the text. Just thou

I used Knockout.js on a project before switching over to Backbone. My experience was that while Knockout is great for simple projects, it becomes a lot more complex than Backbone once things get complicated. All those data-binds in the HT

The Nexus 7 has the same resolution that most 10" tablets have now, so why would you need reflow? Shouldn't everything look the same as on the current 10" tablets, just sharper? It might be because my eyes are still young, but I prefer smal
