You bet, glad it helped!

Re: IndexedDB on iOS 8 – Broken Bad

JP Richardson — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:16:00 -0000

I'm sure that I can predict the answer... but does iOS 8.4 fix IndexedDB?

Hey Patrick, I appreciate you stopping by to say this, as it's nice to know. I suppose I just need to make it a priority again. I'll consider it :)

How about 8.3 release that just came out today?

Which bug?

Damn, I came here to ask that specific question :( Hopefully Apple will fix this madness soon.

Re: Turn Node Applications into Executables

JP Richardson — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 07:34:07 -0000

Cool! Does this work with atom-shell or node-webkit? i.e. Can I build an app with atom-shell or node-webkit and then use this to compile a single executable?

Although you'll have to pry CommonJS modules out of my cold dead hands, I applaud the author for making the async modules pleasant.

Re: DailyJS: Small and Reusable Browser Modules: npm-dom

JP Richardson — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 23:17:44 -0000

So in other words, it's like a subset of component (https://github.com/component) packages but published on npm? I like it. Is the scope related to any DOM pacakges? SVG included?

**Edit:** seems I spoke too soon on the svg aspect: https://github.com/npm-dom/svg

**Edit 2:** Judging by all of the component forks, this is exactly what it is. Excellent. Component was an ambitious and quite possibly a great idea, but it is too inflexible. Browserify/npm combo is a joy to develop front-end with.

Re: Six Things Bitcoin Users Should Know about Private Keys

Excellent article! For those who want to know more about private keys and how addresses are created, this article I wrote may help: http://procbits.com/2013/08...

Re: Client-Side JavaScript Management, Browserify vs Component

JP Richardson — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 18:08:04 -0000

I've briefly looked at webpack. I'd love for someone to write an article on Webpack vs Browserify.

Re: Generating a Bitcoin Address with JavaScript

eckey is a JavaScript library. It's included in BitcoinJS. Open up your JavaScript console and follow along with the article to verify for yourself.

Adam, I didn't know that your service (GoInstant) existed at the time of this article. This article could have easily have been titled "Poor Man's GoInstant" and the principles/code would be the same.

Re: Poor Man's Firebase: LevelDB, REST, and WebSockets

JP Richardson — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:14:39 -0000

Yes, but that hardly makes for an interesting article. I could have easily titled it "Poor Man's Firedup" and the points of this article would apply.

https://github.com/jprichar... is the start of it :)

Re: Poor Man's Firebase: LevelDB, REST, and WebSockets

JP Richardson — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:11:02 -0000

There isn't one :( All the code is contained in the article. Although, if there was enough interest, I'd probably start one.

Re: Poor Man's Firebase: LevelDB, REST, and WebSockets

JP Richardson — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 00:43:44 -0000

No unfortunately not. I had some JS console error messages. I sent a message to support, support said that they pushed an update. After that, it still didn't work. But the few times that I've checked recently, it seems to work.

You want a public address to start with a '7'?

Re: Generating a Bitcoin Address with JavaScript

JP Richardson — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 12:25:32 -0000

Thanks. I'd like to include a random source that is within grasp of the common person. So, if I took your revision and added at the end: "such as radioactive decay or hardware noise." In your opinion, does that seem appropriate?

Re: Warming Up To Grunt: Compiling Less and Browserify

Ya I agree that Grunt is heavy. Thanks for posting your solution, it seems pretty simple!

Nice. I use to be a huge fan of GWT until it felt that Google abandoned it. I finally embraced JavaScript. Send me a note when you get your project up and going :)

Re: Why Do All the Great Node.js Developers Hate CoffeeScript?

JP Richardson — Mon, 02 Dec 2013 07:44:09 -0000

Author of the article here. For the most part, I can't stand CoffeeScript now. The only exception is for Grunt files, ironically, I like CoffeeScript there. But in my particular case, you nailed it... I was a Rails developer who jumped ship and needed something to get me into the wonderful world of JavaScript. That answer was CoffeeScript.

Yep, thanks, fixed.
