This is great! I'm learning to read sheet music and play the piano at the same time and have found the same problem: I'm just memorising the music, not _reading_it. Just this weekend I tried jalmus, but couldn't get it runnin

That's interesting given there's no licensing certainly on my video :) I will be asking scotlandjs to update the Vimeo page to ensure there's a Creative Commons non-commercial license specified as I'm not _super_ excited

To add another resource to the list, I gave an introductory talk to bacon.js and FRP last year which has similar diagrams to these which I animated with d3 if anyone'a interested: http://vimeo.com/m/68987289

With regards to "major version 4" we are doing our best to follow semver, where backwards incompatible changes require a bump in the major version. So yes and no, this is a work in progress (what isn't) and we will constantly

Yup, we are basically targeting ie9 as a minimum, though some pieces will be okay in lesser browsers. Obviously that will mean some people can't use it, but hey, trade offs right :)

As is typical, the day someone posts simplewebrtc to hackernews is the day our demo app (talky.io) goes down! We're on it and should have it back up really soon. Sorry!

This list is taken from this article: http://www.carlkingcreative.com/10-myths-about-introverts which is based on the guy reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Introvert-Advantage-Thrive-Extrovert-W... I read the book myself recentl

The best tip I've been given for practice is to actually sit with a piece of paper and write out your thought process whilst solving these little problems. It's feels a bit laborious at first, but I find it makes for much more effective pra

I'll third that. I was dubious for a while, decided to get one for my birthday. Definitely the right move, fantastic device.

I haven't tried, but I think this should be very easy to implement as a Google Chrome extension, if it hasn't been done already. Just had a quick look, and there is this extension: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/eochlhpceohhhf

I've been pitching quite a bit recently to various sizes of audience (although nothing as big as 2000 people) but meykey take away (perhaps unsurprisingly) has been practice, a lot. More specifically: - Practice in front of a mirror, this r

A man's still gotta make a living. Also, for every book sold he's giving away a copy to a child somewhere in the world: http://veryawesomeworld.com/foundation.html which seems like a pretty decent thing to me.

If you are on a Mac, SelfControl ( http://visitsteve.com/work/selfcontrol/ ) is perfect for this.

It's a great start, but for some reason the page won't load past the metrics diagram on my iPhone. Maybe it's just my phone being stupid, but you might wanna check for a fixed height CSS bug or something?

I can seem to repeat the bug if I: - Open Safari - Install Verbal Juicer - Edit one of the plugins - Quit Safari whilst the code-editor is still open. When I reopen Safari and try and edit an extension, I just get "undefined".

I stumbled across that later, much easier :). I seem to be getting a weird bug where after a while the code editor window pops up with 'undefined' in it and I can't do anything further. Uninstalling and reinstalling the extension seems to f

For anyone else looking for the plugin sources, they are embedded in the Verbal Juicer homepage. With Firebug/Webkit dev tools, navigate to: body > #appsCode and the plugins and you can copy-paste into verbal juicer's create window. For

This is awesome, please port it to Chrome. Also, any chance you can release the source for the page plugins you've already written? A couple aren't working for me (for example I need the weather to search google.co.uk not google.com) and it

That's the first example I got when loading the page, and that's exactly what I thought: for big projects namespacing seems sensible enough. So I thought the site was a collection of design patterns, rather than anti-patterns. Left me very

I saw this when it first did the rounds on Twitter a while agi, and I have wondered about it since; I'd love to get my hands on one. The FAQs on his site claims it will be released this year: http://www.madeinmind.co.uk/faq.php - I sure h

Nice idea, and I can see myself using it but... The "come up with a secret phrase" thing is a nice idea, but I must've sat for 10 seconds trying to work out what was actually being asked for, and then I had no idea what phrase I could use t
