We're pragmatic about FRP and also rely heavily on Backbone. For some cases, the MVC approach seems better, for others Bacon is a better fit. In Flowdock, there is a form that automatically validates parts of the data in JS while needs to c

There are libraries to handle stemming and Unicode equivalence which are easy to add into this kind of boolean search. If ranking documents would definitely mean that some other approach, e.g. vector space model, should be used. https://gi

I don't mind the mouse lag in normal use, but it's very annoying in FPS games. I've actually spent a day or two tweaking OS X mouse acceleration curves and whatever settings I could find. At the desktop I could get more "windows-y" feel, bu

I sometimes listen to ambient-ish classical music while coding. Ólafur Arnalds and Jóhann Jóhannsson have been recently on my list.

Emoji code points (including the pile of poo) have actually been in Unicode since 6.0, but now they've added colored "emoji style" variants for the characters. Previously the standard only defined black and white "text style" glyphs.

Even though Growl 1.3.0 was distributed via App Store with the same price tag, the source code was published at http://code.google.com/p/growl/source . Seems like that practice has stopped as well.

Numbers in commit messages don't really make any sense. I don't understand what value they might have. The narrative of your codebase is hard to follow when large number of your commits don't have any message explaining what you've done. I

I would guess that China will provide infrastructure to some african countries in exchange for raw materials. Political stability will also improve as China will support the regimes regardless of lack of democracy.

When Chinese labor becomes too expensive, (some of) it will be outsourced to Africa. Chinese economy seems to be in pretty good shape for this, but political instability could ruin it. Jobs moved to China are likely to be lost forever. Auto

No. The scope of plugin seems to be to enable audio and video tags, not to provide JS API. Html5media basically just replaces each video and audio tag with FlowPlayer (swf video/audio player) instances if browser doesn't support HTML5 tags.
