ewoutkleinsmann··on How to Wire Up Ruby on Rails and AngularJS as a Single-Page Application
We (10KB) have built our own CMS combining Rails and AngularJS. Our main goal for our CMS was to turn every website made with it in a Single-Page Application, but at the same time maintain support for server-side rendering.

We loved the combination of Rails and AngularJS, but we didn't like that we had to write a lot of stuff twice (ie. Rails routes & Angular routes, Rails controllers & Angular controllers). Therefore we have written quite some glue code to automatically generate AngularJS code from our Rails code. I have been wanting to make a full write-up of all our experience in combining Angular & Rails for a while now, but didn't get to it yet. I did write-up a quick and dirty way to automatically generate Angular Resources from you Rails controllers, though. (http://10kb.nl/blog/automatically-generate-angular-resources...)

And, if anyone has any questions about combining Rails & Angular feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

ewoutkleinsmann··on Show HN: "Dropbox for Wi-Fi"
Yeah, maybe, but it would still leave me guessing about what it exactly is the service provides.
ewoutkleinsmann··on Show HN: "Dropbox for Wi-Fi"
When I read "Dropbox for Wi-Fi" I thought the app would be something like a shared folder between clients in a local Wi-Fi network.

"Couple your Wi-Fi passwords to your FB account and easily share them with friends" would have been a clearer description for me.

I really like the idea, though. I sincerely hope it will catch on.

ewoutkleinsmann··on Show HN: Increase your productivity with ambient noise
I didn't read the whole research, but a quick glance at it told me that moderate ambient noise boosts creativity. The research doesn't mention productivity, though.

EDIT: And neither does your website, I see now. Why did you use it in the HN title?

No problems here in The Netherlands.

$('#home #fly').click()
ewoutkleinsmann··on Yes, I was hacked. Hard.
You can disable that, so that the one-time codes are your only backup method.

Thanks, I sent you an email.

Thank you for all the great tips and invitations. Love this community :) Naturally, more tips are always welcome.

You're right, but that is also exactly the reason we'll be visiting Berlin that weekend. Since the university is also closed that weekend, we won't miss any classes.

Hi Philipp, thanks for the invite. I will email you this afternoon.

Will do, thanks for the tip :)
ewoutkleinsmann··on Numbers API - An API for interesting facts about numbers
Some will argue that such a number doesn't exist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interesting_number_paradox). Others say it is 11630 (http://www.nathanieljohnston.com/2009/06/11630-is-the-first-...)
ewoutkleinsmann··on Turn.js - The page flip effect for HTML5
I think that is a bug in the hardware acceleration of Chrome. I've got the same problem on my website where I use CSS to do a crossfade on the background image. Everytime the images are crossfading all the text on the website gets blurry.

By the way, if someone knows the real problem and, even better, a solution for it, I'm very interested.
