bib971on HN Plays 2048

Anything to backup your claim about Socket.io?

I hate it and minimize its use while using other build tools whenever I can (in the same project).

Bobby, you said every app is a client of the API. I notice Trello.com consumes API from https://trello.com/1/xx while an OAuth client (from one of your Jsfiddle examples) consumes from https://api.trello.com/1/xx?key=xx&token=xx. I suppose the former just passes through to the later? If so, does the former needs to pass over the key and token (I suppose you can generate on the fly based on auth cookie)? I'm trying to get my head around the fact that your app provides OAuth for other clients and at the same time (from what you're saying) your app is also one of such clients. Not sure how it really works.

bib971on TldrLegal – Software Licenses Explained in Plain English

This is even a shorter tl;dr: use MIT or Apache. Who would choose other licenses, more complicated, if they didn't mean to screw you later.

bib971on Alcatraz – Package manager for Xcode 5

Just curious, how to implement the scrolling effect like this site? Does it require JavaScript or just CSS?

Always got "DoesNotExist" error whichever valid address I put in

bib971on Lawsuit: Oracle called $50K 'good money for an Indian'

And are these 100+ engineer forced to accept that term? Or more likely they think it's a good deal for them (i.e. living in India earning Indian wage)?

bib971on AngularJS from an Ember.js perspective

What do you mean "Angular encourages you to build the framework"? What kind of framework?

bib971on Show HN: ngProgress - slim, site-wide progressbar for AngularJS, without jQuery

In case you're interested, I built one that doesn't use Angular or jQuery: http://buunguyen.github.io/rainbow.js/

bib971on Show HN: ngProgress - slim, site-wide progressbar for AngularJS, without jQuery

One technique that I used when building my own progress indicator is using a maths function which approaches 0 as the progress bar approaches 100% and use the result to increase the progress.

That way, the progress bar appears moving slower and slower but never actually hits 100%. I think that's better than having the progress bar completely stalled at 95%. See code here: https://github.com/buunguyen/rainbow.js/blob/master/src/rain....

bib971on NProgress: slim, site-wide progress bars

A couple weeks ago I built something similar, except that my solution is even smaller (doesn't depend on jQuery, 1 single file, 1KB gzipped and minified). Check out: http://buunguyen.github.io/rainbow.js/.
