If only there was one of these for computer science degrees. I stopped part way through my degree because the tuition was ridiculous ($1000 per credit hour). Now I'm at a point where I want to finish, but all undergraduate programs in my area are oriented at full time students. The only place with online and night classes has equally ridiculous tuition ($60,000 to finish the program).

Take a look at XWT[1]. It uses the native rendering on each platform.

I think isomorphic JavaScript applications are going to replace the current frontend paradigm. Microservices are becoming more popular, so imagine an isomorphic JavaScript application as a frontend consumer of many backend microservices. Plus there are a slew of security considerations that cannot be solved with current frontend JavaScript.

For instance, how do I call a protected API without leaking the API credentials to the consumer? Currently you can do this with trusted hardware or the traditional server side rendering. An isomorphic JavaScript application can solve this problem using server side rendering without needing a separate backend.

Also a Pluralsight course.

I will try it out this weekend.

I've been looking to abandon Chrome and I would definitely give Metro Firefox a try on my desktop. I enjoy the metro split screen with the Windows 8 Store Twitter client (it's awesome to get push notifications). If I had a nice browser for metro then I would definitely try to migrate.

That game hurts my eyes.

You could trying porting the web games using phonegap[0] or titanium[1].

You can add SPA functionality to any page on a website. There's nothing preventing you from using your favorite SPA stack on specific pages.

Knockout is my go to library when I need data binding. It's lightweight and doesn't interfere with your markup.

    >because it's such a design ripoff

Considering Github is based on Twitter Bootstrap they'd need to be actively using Github's custom css.

Bring Docker to windows and I will use it.

One of the general misunderstandings of libertarianism is "since you're pro-market you must be pro-business." Free market libertarians are generally business/labor neutral as libertarianism simply provides the framework for the players. A libertarian would view a business/labor union that relies on government cooperation as a failure.

Long term capital gains is less than the alternative minimum tax. Executive compensation probably consists of a mixture between stock options and company paid expenses (airfare, company car, vacations, travel, nice office equipment, etc).

I work 7:00 - 3:30 and go home early on Fridays.

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript. It has classes, interfaces, static typing, and object oriented polymorphism. TypeScript is designed to be used on larger projects.

Why not TypeScript?

Well Bitcoin is currency not a bank note.

I use Windows 8 which has built in MSE. I also have Malwarebytes Pro which does active monitoring.

After Dwolla banned Bitcoin transactions I lost most of my interest. Bitpay and Coinbase have much better merchant programs and their fees are much lower.

It's really quite interesting that they build the queries from the AST. To contrast C# generates the Sql for Linq to Sql by building up an expression tree using the IQueryable interface.

This simplifies step one of the Pony ORM author's answer.

Not sure if this counts, but Bamboo Detroit (Detroit, MI) (http://www.bamboodetroit.com/) is one I've heard some buzz around.

Well he put the source on Github and it's very interesting to see how some projects come together.

I have several 8 foot folding tables that I tetris together. I never saw the value in spending an excessive amount of time or money on something fancy.

The one trait I've noticed about these articles is the applicant must have a significant amount of planning.

It doesn't sound like YC is something that you wake up on Monday and say, "I'm going to live in California for 3 months on savings without a reliable source of income and hope I can turn my idea into a business."

Aren't emails sent in plaintext? What are the security and privacy implications of using this service?

I think on paper you can get close with derivatives although you'll never be able to liquidate them.

1) Where is the privacy policy, data usage, and terms of service?

2) What makes this different from Expensify or Mint?

Honestly the JavaScript it generates isn't very nice to read. I'd rather use a language like TypeScript which tries to generate idiomatic JavaScript.

I'm going to fiddle with that benchmark[1] later this weekend. I have an inkling that some of the languages could have better performance. There is also a difference between a web based game and a traditional application server game.

Well some months ago it was a separate landing page, but I guess they changed it. They still don't display the information unless you agree that you are in a legal jurisdiction to use the service.
