Sounds like some 4 year vesting...
polysaturate··on Getting started with Meteor.js
That is a perfect explanation, that I was looking to make.

Not to say mongoDB and noSQl don't have their place, but I don't think that place is, all of your application's data.

polysaturate··on Getting started with Meteor.js
Completely agreed. Without real proper officially supported SQL db connectors, I don't think meteor will really take off.

I say this as someone who has used it and like a lot of the features. I just can't see myself taking something to production on mongoDB.

Also, now that the meteorJS codebase is stabilizing, I think it may be time for some conventions to mature around it. Right now, it's essentially the wild west of JS.

polysaturate··on Show HN: Empress - Blogging with Ember.js and Github
I second a demo/preview/you porting your blog page...

Maybe a demo for users to see the 'admin' type side, and a your ported blog to see the finished project.

polysaturate··on Card management API
This brings a lot more clarity to the API update a few days ago. The API update was a bit more cryptic being only a short description of the change.

Is this becoming the norm? I'd hate to think that this is a good way to filter applications to top developers.
polysaturate··on IFTTT goes Mobile
Kind of off topic and cynical, but I wonder how this product is making any money. It's free, the iOS app os free.

I want to hit the NFC note here:

The NFC attack sounds way worse than it really is. Firstly, NFC attacks can not be made on an idle phone, phones need to be on, unlocked and practically touching the NFC tag, or other device.

As well as the fact that Android has technology that should mitigate the malicious use of NFC. I can't remember the exact measures, but I have read about it at one point.

I would think that NFC would be lumped into something around the issue of ATM/magnetic code skimmers, as possible, but not very likely.

That last line worries me...I live in phoenix and most summer days are above 110' F...41'C is 105.8' F :/

Hopefully there is some clarification to explain how I won't die...

polysaturate··on Apple To Release Mountain Lion On July 25
I'd venture to say you in the minority for upgrading a 6 year old Macbook....just sayin.

It's actually due to GPU capabilities of the older Macs. Thus, as well as your SSD'd 2006 Macbook runs, it still will not perform up to the standard they want on Mountain Lion.

I disagree that this would purely be done for a "profit increase"

polysaturate··on I built my blog on websockets
I'm not going to knock you for building something. I imagine you started here, because, fundamentally a blog is one of those "getting started" projects with relations and structure. Though, I am not sure if this really showcases the use for websockets, unless you constantly post. However, I am unable to view your site correctly this time. I am on the latest version of chrome, if that helps.
