sverrejoh··on Every new web app at PayPal starts with TypeScript
and namespaces and enums at least.
sverrejoh··on Fusion.js: A Plugin-Based Universal Web Framework
That's true. Both Flow and TypeScript generally uses structural typing, but flow also has nominal typing for classes.
sverrejoh··on Apple Special Event October 2013 Live Stream
OS X Mavericks will have a feature I always wanted in Linux: Independent spaces for each monitor!

In Gnome (at least when I left it, but I don't think it has changed) and previously in OS X, switching to a new virtual space will update both monitors. With this update you choose virtual space independently for each monitor, and let one stay at — say — the logs window, while you change the space on the other monitor.

sverrejoh··on Valve's GDC Talk: Porting Source to Linux [pdf]
A $495 paywall, non the less. Probably a good buy for many, but a little out of reach for hobbyists.
sverrejoh··on Emacs adventures - a couple of things I’ve learned
It seems to be up now, but maybe a bit slow?
sverrejoh··on Objects vs closures
Same as in Python, except apply() is called __call__()
sverrejoh··on Land of Lisp is finally out...and has a music video.
It depends on 'libiconv', which is not part of master.
sverrejoh··on Tell HN: My iPhone 3G is unusably slow since upgrading to iOS 4.0
You can also kill Safari (and all other running apps) by holding the sleep button until it shows the slider screen, and then hold the menu button until you get the home screen.
sverrejoh··on Tell HN: My iPhone 3G is unusably slow since upgrading to iOS 4.0
I had the same problem with 3G and iOS 4.0, but after a hard reboot it became fast again (Hold the sleep button for some seconds, and push the slider). It took me almost a week to figure it out (during which the phone was next to useless), but now it seems as fast as 3.x.
sverrejoh··on Video: Steve Jobs on Flash (D8 Conference)
It did work on the iPad though, so it seems they are using HTML5 <video> as a fallback if you don't have Flash.
sverrejoh··on Another Perl success story: The Swedish pension system
Lately there seems to be much more Perl articles on the front page, is there any particular reason for that? Is Perl suddenly getting more attention for some reason?
sverrejoh··on Djng - a Django powered microframework
And Pylons isn't much more than a thin layer on top of Paste anyway.
sverrejoh··on Bespin is a Web Based Editor from Mozilla Labs
I've always thought of code editors as a bulletproof example of apps that has to be written in native code.

Very interested to see the code and how they did all this in Canvas in a sensible way.

sverrejoh··on Django - starting from ground zero - any advice?
Also, if you want to keep up with the Django community and changes to Django code, I would recommend the "This Week in Django" podcast.

sverrejoh··on Aaron Swartz's Jottit has been officially released
It's very easy, but doing so degrades the value of the site for honest users.
sverrejoh··on Aaron Swartz's Jottit has been officially released
It seems like a relaunch of Infogami.com, but with a really clever entry point. Infogami had a couple of cool ideas, like "we'll release one new feature every day" and optional commercials (support us if you want). I liked Infogami, but I stopped using it when Aaron stopped doing any development on it.
