Came here to ask the same question. Been a while since I used the gem, but I remember it being very useful, and fairly extensible. Sounds like @akanet did not have the same experience. Would love to hear from others if they have run into the same issues, and if so any alternative gem/libs they recommend.

You would have to dive into how the library was implemented and see if it is compatible as a node module. There is an issue right here in the repo you can follow: https://github.com/frappe/charts/issues/6

I use Kerl on OSX and have had zero issues with it switching between different Erlang versions. I haven't evaluated other options, but can confirm Kerl works on a mac.

Agreed. I had a project recently and was looking for something like this. There are "API first CMS" systems like Contentful and Prismic that could allow this, but they are paid services. A cool open source version that has plugins for middleman and other static site generators would be really cool.

For me as a consumer, the format is very much correlated with price. I am always willing to spend more money for a physical copy of a book than the digital version. For them as publishers, it also costs less to come to market with a digital versions, and so should be reflected in the price. I do hear what your saying about value being derived from content, but without a free preview of a couple chapters and a price that I deemed to high, I ended up passing.

Is it just me, or does $49 seem high for a digital copy? I went to buy it expecting it be somewhere around $20, and then had a bit of sticker shock when I was in the checkout path. I know it took a lot of time and effort and on the author's part, so not saying it isn't worth it, but for a non-physical copy it seems like a pretty steep price. I ended up passing, wonder how many others did the same as me.

I have a friend who worked at Zenefits and told me about the offer. Everyone in the company was offered two months salary and paid COBRA health benefits for four months if they wanted to leave. According to him more than 10% left.

This is great!

Feature request: When a component pane(code snippet + preview) is open, allow escape key to close the pane.

Is this code open source? Would be happy to submit a PR for this feature if it is.

I have never used Firebase, but I think they handle the data store and all the ways to access it's data (auth, sockets, etc.). So if you needed some kind of backend logic or task to happen, you would wire a separate backend app that authenticates to the firebase database and then it could read/update/create data.

That all makes sense and is very sensible. Thanks for taking the time to explain, I know your busy.

Just curious, why was my submission moved in favor of the other submission?

Good observation! If you watch the video to the end, this actually happens.

I agree. I think dressing up as Thor and playing up the crowd the way you suggested would have gone a long way. Also putting the fingerprint scanner where you one actually grabs the handle from, somewhere midway on the shaft, would have been a better design.

If you like this kind of stuff, check out Colin Furze's youtube channel. He does some similar experiments, and is very entertaining.

Pretty cool effect, though as others have stated it looks very resource intensive. Reminds me of an old project from Hakim El Hattab http://hakim.se/projects/meru

You can use virtual-dom diffing in Meteor. https://github.com/reactjs/react-meteor

I wouldn't hold my breath. I refused to use the service when I first discovered it because it was facebook only auth. I believe that has since changed, but user privacy is not a huge concern of theirs.

My guess is the performance benchmarks would be much different if you are dealing with an app with a high number of nodes where the diff/repainting benefits of React really kick in.

Vue is a framework that caught my eye a while back, and it's approach seemed like a nice compromise between backbone and angular. I haven't seen much published about it though, does anyone have experience working on a decent sized project with it, and if so how was the experience?

Looks like it. I see Scribd as the company most affected by this.

Thank you! I searched google groups but was unable to find something like this. I did try and code up a simple prototype and ran into the same scope issues as the author of the linked thread.

I have a somewhat related question for anyone with chrome devtools experience.

Is it possible to control the size (width and height) of the chrome debugger panel using the devtools api? I want to build a chrome extension that provides window management like Hydra or spectacle, but for the developer tools window. Building hot keys that could do things like send the console window exactly half screen in any direction or full screen, and also the same controls for the second console window. I spend a lot of time in the developer panel (as I'm sure many people do) and think a window manager could be a huge help. I read the api docs fairly thoroughly and also posted this same question to the google group and the stack overflow group with no response to either. Anyone out there know?

Wordpress is less than ideal for managing via git, primarily due to their plugin architecture. The best way I have managed to use git is to put the repo at the wp-content level and only watch the theme and plugin directories. Then anytime I make updates to a plugin or group of plugins, I make sure to commit those changes as a seperate commit to what I am normally working on. It is tedious and hacky, but it at least gets me basic version control functionality with the ability to roll back on any code that can effect theme functionality.

From a quick glance of the project, that feature would just be a building plugin that leverages the existing api.

I noticed this too. Seems like the potential for a lot of angry customers, though if I remember correctly when it was spacebox it included stipe's fees in its pricing. Must have been too costly to attract customers.

Very interesting talk. Thank you for sharing

Angular is a framework, knockout and react are data binding libraries. You can get dependency injection and testing with both, its just something you have to set up yourself.

I stand corrected on not being able to attach properties to a function, but what I said still holds true. The keyword this refers to the object that owns the method. The original commenter was saying that it was the method itself that was what this points at.

letsdrive = myRide.drive window.model = 'mercedes'; letsdrive.model = 'bmw';

letsdrive(); // outputs mercedes

Your example is wrong. You can't attach object properties to a function.

Javascript context is pretty simple. The keyword 'this' by default points at the object that the method belongs to. When you invoke this function :

myRide.drive();

the myride object owns the drive function, so any keyword 'this' inside of the drive function will be referring to the myride object.

when you do this:

letsDrive = myRide.drive;

letsdrive is now a function that belongs to the global object (window) since we did not declare an object for it. So 'this' is reffering to the window object.To get the output in your example, you would say

window.model = 'Mercedes';

And invoking letsdrive() will now return the expected result

This is great. Is it possible to use this as a rake task? I think it would be better to have team members run this locally just like they would run a test suite, make sure everything is up to par, and then open a PR. This would keep the communication stream in the PR nice and clean, focused only on code implementation.

Last time I tried to run airbrake-js, the airbrake script itself was throwing errors in IE8. The github repo says nothing of browser support. Would love to know if this is still the case.
