There is potentially a big legal difference between tinkering on your side projects at work, compared to carving out time for them at home. Unless you have a specific exemption in your contract, then your employer owns all your work that yo

Do these corporite politics apply to a company the size of, say, segment.io? How about Dropbox? Apple? I have a hunch that they type of politics you encounter will vary widely based on the size of the company. Edit: scare quotes were not ne

How many data points do you need to uniquely represent every person in earth? I bet its a smaller number then the number of constraints and requirements in your system.

I'm sorry for coming across as a dick, but the idea that you "wasted" time learning a framework that became obsolete is silly to me, and it seems to be a common sentiment. Ask yourself: at the time you used prototype.js, did

I couldn't have said it better myself :) One hard lesson I learned is that you can't bet on a front end framework having the same mindshare for very long. The churn can get pretty crazy, and in my mind this nudges the needle a bit

I agree there. Deciding on tooling for a long term project is a very tough balancing act. Although I am a bit afraid that people overestimate the costs of rolling your own code, or "re-inventing the wheel". In most cases you aren&

Those problems are best solved with Engineering best practices and culture, in my opinion. Each tough / innovative problem is probably somewhat unique for your startup, and picking a solution (a front-end framework) before you even kno

What is wrong with leaving everyone high and dry? The CEO has no qualms about doing that to devs. If an engineer leaving puts the company in a bad spot, then they are understaffed and need better management that can foresee and handle those

I think the truly important question is: Are those differences caused biology or society?

It's far worse on low-memory Android, in my opinion. iOS apps have to support being suspended and resumed (although bad apps still do it badly). This forces apps to deal with this eventuality on day 1. Android, on the other hand, doe

That almost looks like it was built by a mechanical engineer, not an electrical engineer. All the effort seems to be focused on building a sturdy case for the batteries, and the actual electrical connections are all steel screw terminals an

Why can't you just verify that the whole chain is SHA-1 instead of using the expiration date as a heuristic?

You keep bringing up Microsoft without mentioning thhat they gave their users 2 years of notice, while you are giving your users less then 6 months.

I think your last paragraph is generic enough, we can use it as a reply to your comment: You really aren't that good as you think. Your problem is you grossly overestimate your capabilities and achievements. We all were there, most of

What about credit cards? Chargebacks are quite common.

Also, let's not forget about the fact that all those controls are /tactile/, which means they can be operated without moving your eyes at ll.

What problems do dependency injection solve for you? I haven't had a chance to use it yet, and I've always been curious about its benefits in real projects.

I'm really excited to check out this Nunkucks project. I ended up evaluating a bunch of JS Jinja-style libraries and also ended up choosing SWIG. Unfortunately, SWIG does not run well in the browser. The code is converted with Browseri

Fortunately, with a bit of hacking, this style of syntax is possible without generators :) (I'm hoping to open source a library I wrote that works all the way back to IE6) Here's your example rewritten in the 'monads' li

That's not quite true -- it is entirely possible to write a 64-bit integer class entirely in Javascript, and have a JIT / ASM.js compiler recognize that and swap out a native version (See ecmascript_simd [1] which I believe was wr

You can check out code samples in a bunch of different languages here: http://www.robertpenner.com/easing/ Funny note: That site and code has been around since the early Actionscript 2 days, and I went to hunt it down

Do you have a team of coding mercenaries? I am now quite curious about your company. Did you assemble a team to execute ideas for other founders? That seems like a pretty solid industry, if that's the case. Edit: just saw some of you o

You can spend over 8 hours a day, average, writing code? That doesn't seems sustainable to me .

I probably shouldn't respond, considering the (very stoner) name of "throwaway420", but the employer is in a position of power, so it is not unreasonable to want laws that draw bounderies around your commitment, especially wi

This threw up a bit of a red flag for me: "the kind of person that wants to be comfortable and taken care of". Wouldn't that person be more productive? Likewise, I tend to think that the ass-in-the-seat 40+ hour workers tend

I've personally found that it is much easier to think about the product outside of the office when you aren't wearing yourself down with a 40-hour work week. When you hit the 40 hour mark, work dwarfs freetime (excluding sleep, of
