As a company we’ve been experimenting with xstate for about a year. Generally speaking, bug counts go down as a direct result. We’re at a point now that it’s part of our process — a key deliverable as part of our first phase of development

The author positions his pitch about being all about the product and the value the customer sees in it, when I think a large portion of the potential client's decision to pay 35k is based on this guy's ability to actually bring it

I should clarify he does have a bank account (with his own Interac card) but no way to access it online. This is with TD Canada Trust. I don't imagine it's much different across other Canadian banks. Edit: sorry, to actually answe

With my 6 (almost 7) year old I've been giving him 2% daily interest on whatever is in his chequing account. He's aware I'll scale it back when it gets out of hand :) But so far he spends enough on nerf equipment that it hasn

I ended up removing instances of try catch and also setTimeout 0 (or equivalent nextTick) in the promise library I use. Those two things caused me enough grief on several occasions to force my hand and modify the library's implementati

I've used Meteor for a frontend project (websockets using wamp.ws talking to a hardware box, local databases being websql and indexeddb). Meteor is a build toolchain (minify etc) and a collection of packages, each providing a feature t

Upgrading now just to try this! (Now to get past "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" on boot... I should have waited for the weekend to update to a beta release!)

I'm also eagerly awaiting HiDPI support (I have one of those QHD screens on a 15" display, 3200x1800!). There is apparently some support for it in the GNOME version (I've read it was not perfect though). Don't recall whe

I wrote music exclusively in Impulse Tracker 2 for well over 10 years (and it's been at least that much time since I last wrote anything). Lost all my source files not too long ago, I literally cried over it (over 500 tracks...). My ba

For large client-side databases, minimongo won't cut it especially on low memory devices. Minimongo is essentially just an API on top of a JavaScript object. And that makes it a synchronous API too. This could pose performance issues (

Ah perhaps you mean static content then. I agree it is an odd choice for hosting static content (I'd go the static site generator route myself), but in the case of Meteor's website, I don't blame them for eating their own dog

It's built using Meteor, and the page is constructed on the client. You can determine this by right-clicking the page, and selecting "View Source" in most browsers. If you're having trouble with this, see this guide: ht

Not sure, but you can time how long it takes to load their site: http://www.meteor.com/ It uses Meteor itself so the framework is sent down the wire and rendered client-side like any other Meteor app.

The recent release of 0.6.5 intends to make it possible to take only the parts of Meteor you need while still benefiting from the surrounding ecosystem (i.e. leveraging smart packages like minimongo, deps, and third-party ones like ironrout

I almost did an edit to my comment to say "less" instead of "much less". Generally speaking, Meteor is less verbose.

Thanks for this. I have similar requirements (back-end already provided), which is why it was natural to choose Angular. But with the work done in Meteor 0.6.5 and guides like yours, I would have chosen Meteor. For those curious as to why I

I tend to agree that this probably serves better as an "about me" replacement for someone's own site. I wonder if there's a way to have it generate it as static HTML (cleverly bundling styles too--at worse in an inline &
