Openresty and Lua are great, but Go is a more generally applicable language for building web services. So when taken in that context Go makes more sense if we look at it as a learning exercise as well as a new part of the stack.

We did have some configuration - it was stored in Varnish and Nginx. The time cost of shipping new redirects when content is moved or new routing configuration for new tools coming online is non-negligible, particularly as we're in the

Not sure what that has to do with semantics. Are you saying that NAV etc. aren't valid semantics on applications?

PATH, exec-path etc. are mangled because of the way OSX loads environment variables. Here's an Emacs package that fixes that: https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell

This is a great move for me, and I hope ultimately for Ben. This way I'm empowered to fix my own issues, and pay someone else to run it for me.

It's opt-in, otherwise most packages would break. To enable it per-file use a file-local variable: ;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

I think the learning programming thing falls under "personal creative projects", and I am with you 100%.

Dashes map more cleanly to existing CSS syntax, eg nth-child, background-color, etc. Much like camelCase looks more like Javascript than my_variable.

It might force the developers to commit more in the granular Git way, but it doesn't force bug reporters and discussions to be more mindful. Looking at my timeline, and following Backbone.js and Handlebars, about half my feed on any given d

WebSockets don't have much startup time at all really. If you're using Socket.io or another Flash-based abstraction you can expect long lead/start up times due to the Flash policy file, but plain old WebSockets should be as fast as any othe

Emacs gets a new release frequently. 24.0 is about to come out (it's in pretest), and 23.4 was just released. Also, since it's a Lisp machine, it doesn't necessarily need to have IDE features added - you can just write your own extension in

Multi-threading is asked for because when you run a complex thing in a single buffer (i.e editing something over Tramp mode, compilation, magit doing Git operations etc.) it can block the editor. Hence, multi-threading is a potential soluti

I was specifically addressing the notion that gambling is risky or "low profile" (which I assume to be a synonym for shady) with regards to the "appetite for risk" reason stated by RBS in their letter.

Disclaimer: I'm a Smarkets employee. Well it's not entirely clear that it's just related to gambling - Betfair, the UK's largest betting exchange, do all their merchant transactions (customer deposits and withdrawals) through RBS as well -

`i` is for "italic", and that quote means that you should be using `font-style` instead of an HTML element to make your text italic.

Because it's not an app in the regular sense, it's an email filtering and tagging web service. You'd be paying for their servers crunching your emails over the time you were subscribed to them. Edit: From their FAQ: Mail Pilot is more t

We use Erlang to run our (several million messages a day) WebSockets implementation. It's been fine, way more stable and less resource intensive than the equivalent Tornado server.

Not sure about having an editor in a browser, but if you want a (mostly) decent IRC client in the browser you could try: https://irccloud.com/ I have 3 invites if anyone wants to email me (my email is on my profile).

If they're using Node (and I assume they are, based on the fact that it's a Node.js podcast), I don't really understand why they wouldn't render the HTML server side (I may be showing my age by asking this) instead of relying on the client

It's not another JS template engine - it's a pure JS implementation of Mustache that's apparently significantly faster than Mustache.js. They also support compiling of templates for deployment purposes, which is nice.

Chromium and Chrome are identical except for one compile flag (which means you can at least check it yourself): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3034755

Working with Javascript off != accessibility. Most screenreaders (the common face of accessibility technology) run on top of regular browsers, so your JS experience needs to be accessible too if you are legally mandated to (or even better i

The Emacs book was written in 2004 and is about Emacs 21.3. Current Emacs is 23.3, with 24.0 in pre-test. I know things are relatively stable in Emacs world, but a fair bit has changed just from 23.x to 24.0.

Not 25 devs (although that doesn't necessarily change the salary question) - if you want to go "full GitHub" and use the issue tracker for everything, you want all your staff to have access.

I hope they're going to offer pro rata on seat volumes between multiples of 20. If I have just 25 users it's $10,000 (assuming their pricing widget is completely accurate).
