For a start, you can't edit docs on mobile. But if you just use it for a while you notice there's a fairly large amount of bugs which need working on. Try entering a couple of dates and using their autofill to extend the sequence.

So you would suggest using external text files to store every SQL/Cypher query that is used in a model-based node app?

I use Browserify with Coffeescript modules, and the source maps work great. I'm using Coffeeify to do it: https://github.com/jnordberg/coffeeify

I respect where you're coming from, but I disagree. One of the huge advantages of npm for me is that it's so transparent and I can see exactly how it's mapping to the file system. I know exactly which code is being run, from

I disagree. I think node's approach is easily understandable, and quite robust. It's incredibly easy to dive down the dependency chain and see every package, and know exactly which one is being used where. Not something that can b

I'm slightly confused by your wording but I think the functionality you're referring to is already available via Object.defineProperty's "get" and "set" options: https://developer.mozilla.org&#x

You can set a custom getters and setters, but I wouldn't call it operator overloading. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... So... > var x = {} > Object.def

Well, to be fair, make and browserify do completely different jobs. You can't substitute browserify for make, nor vice versa. But to be honest, if you see learning new things as wasting your attention on new fads, I don't think th

Well, source maps are usually the solution for me. And yes, browserify supports source-mapping all the way back to coffeescript files using browserify-middleware. In the off case that I need to debug something in a browser that doesn't

They did not say anywhere that the 25% speed gain was the reason they did it...

I think it's more likely he found it was not taken on npm so he took it. Async is, these days, one of the most popular libs on npm.

Interesting. I use Github's issue tracker every day and love it to bits.

I'm not disagreeing it took them too long and they did it in a ridiculous way, having already made the MS deal, but I don't understand how you can still say it's "not credible". Go use it.

Have you ever used a meego device? The N9 is a solid phone, and at time of release Harmattan was far better than the Android offering. What makes you say "they had no clue how to turn it into a credible consumer OS"? That seems to be exactl

I've heard really poor things about UQ's IT department though. I've heard that if you're doing IT related things, the reputation of the universities is backwards: Griffith is best, followed by QUT, and UQ is rather poor.

I can back that up, it's the same case for me.

Presumably because the € price includes VAT (which is usually 20%+ in the EU), and the US$ price does not. The real US price would vary by state, and they usually don't show the amount of sales tax on the purchase price. This is a tax thing

This was Microsoft, not Scandinavia. Noone was impressed by what they did. Apart from this, it was a great conference.

If you take an hour to sit down and understand the type coercion, all of these "hidden surprises" magically disappear.

Similar to you I can only speak from my somewhat limited experience and group of friends, but since moving here (Bergen) in January from Australia I've met a ton of very well educated, up to date and motivated people working on interesting

Furthermore, the author was just about to stream a video which would likely be much larger than the app itself.
