Re: Let's make nw.js easy to start up

Angelo — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 13:53:49 -0000

I've honestly had nothing but problems with nw.js during setup. Especially getting it running cross platform. I ended up switching to working with Electron which has been amazing: http://electron.atom.io/

Re: 10 Node.js best practices you should follow

Angelo — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 14:33:25 -0000

Personally I feel promises are a step in the right direction, but not the solution to callback hell. Instead, native await/async (as opposed to the async module) is what will actually solve the issue.

I've created a gist of the "Startup" script. You'll need to change some things (name/path to script)

https://gist.github.com/Ang...

In addition, you'll need to do the following.

1. copy the script to /etc/init.d (assuming it's copied to /etc/init.d/hello
2. enable the script
chkconfig --add hello
chkconfig --level 35 hello on

You can optionally control it via:
chkconfig hello start|stop|restart|status

Re: Serious problem with GMail

Under the settings section of Gmail (the desktop version), you should see a "Filters" tab. It serves as a quick sorting mechanism.

I had experienced a similar issue and I had found a filter that was simply bypassing my "inbox" and was being archived right away. I'm not quite sure how it got in there, it's possible I was playing around with it and left it in.. or there was something more nefarious afoot.

Re: Serious problem with GMail

You can check to see if there's any filters applied to it in your settings.

Alternatively, take a look and see if it's in the All Mail section of Gmail

May I ask why you prefer the master-branch approach as opposed to utilizing separate feature branches which result in pull requests back to master?

Re: What's the best JavaScript editor?

Hahah, I've been keeping up on progress for MyWord and looking for an excuse to use it - but I feel like I have very little to say most times. This might be a good way to contribute something =) I'll fork and play around a bit

I haven't looked into this in too much detail, but I really like the editor in ghost: https://github.com/durgesh-...

Re: Chrome is dying, day 4

I wonder if you'd find the same issues on Chromium? (http://www.chromium.org/Home)

Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac or else I'd test it out and let you know :/

Re: Recommended: Turn off Flash in Chrome

Angelo — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 12:03:38 -0000

What's worse is.. I haven't actually noticed any issues with swf files if I disable PepperFlash. I've never needed to re-enable it at any point. I wonder what it actually does.

Re: Recommended: Turn off Flash in Chrome

Angelo — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 11:03:01 -0000

I'm not 100% sure how it works on Mac, but on Windows, I've had to disable PART of the Adobe Flash plugin to get stability.

1. Navigate to chrome://plugins (or about://plugins)

2. Hit the Details button on the right

3. Scroll to Adobe Flash and disable the Pepper Flash plugin.

Once I did that then my Google Music app started playing in surround sound and youtube stopped crashing.

Re: Finding Good API Developer Talent Is Hard

Angelo — Tue, 04 Mar 2014 17:27:29 -0000

I think the problem is more than just "being approached by PHP shops for API development". The problem is that someone (probably not a dev) is approaching you with pre-conceived ideas of how something should function without evaluating the actual needs and goals of the API.

In addition, to most companies an API is something they need to have, but they don't flesh it out from the beginning. They attempt to tack it on later, which makes it a lot harder.

Re: Lines of Code

Hey Arandur, most developers realize the stupidity of LoC as a measure.. it's just that damn management ;)

You'll find as you go for job interviews, an interview for a senior position has a lot more questions that don't directly relate to code. There's a lot more to it than just being able to plan out solutions- there's the whole leadership aspect as well as the interpersonal skills of the person in question.

Re: Why JavaScript I/O is so awkward

Angelo — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 02:40:33 -0000

I think this idea lends itself well to evented systems. IE: Instead of passing in callbacks that are executing code, the callbacks should simply execute an event. Things that are looking for the event watch for it and update as necessary. The benefits of this are code that is a lot less coupled, and easily adding multiple things that can now happen near simultaneously. For example:

Event.watch('httpReadUrl', function(xmltext) {
hello();
});
httpReadUrl(url, Event.trigger('httpReadUrl'));

Re: Level Up Your Shell Game

I'm surprised no one mentioned this, but you don't need to open a new terminal window: just 'source ~/.bashrc'. Generally .bashrc includes .bash_profile

Re: Theming Fargo - Editor Version

Angelo — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:03:47 -0000

Thanks - the only think left to do is some bootstrap specific color changes on the topbar and then I think it's good to go.

Re: Bring Concord Right Into WordPress

Angelo — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 02:02:57 -0000

This seems like a pretty interesting project - you'd get to ease people into Fargo quite nicely.. plus maybe the plugin gives us an in to add even better 3rd party support for Wordpress.

Re: Anachronistic Programming

Angelo — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 18:47:30 -0000

It's true that understanding it deeply requires different requirements - but shouldn't an effort be made? How many developers out there don't realize that they're using version 1.1 of the spec? How many devs don't understand the CORS request process? I just feel like if you're going to be using a language to do something, you need to understand the pieces involved in doing what you're doing - at least if your goal is to do it professionally.

I also think my use of the word vague may have been a little... vague (/smirk). What I meant was, they don't even know that there are there other pieces in play besides the code they write. They don't spend the time to learn the system and instead rely on "It Just Works".

Re: Anachronistic Programming

Angelo — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 16:04:20 -0000

I know it's ridiculous to expect that programmers understand every inch of their stack - especially today. But I feel like even a rudimentary understanding of the underlying system is necessary.

See, you were able to trace your error back to something. You knew enough about the underlying system (granted it is your system) to be able to track down an error that didn't originate in your immediate code, but rather belonged to the system that you're working on.

I know a few developers who would consider themselves "web developers" but don't understand what's happening any further than their desired framework. On the one hand, it's great that we've simplified the entry into programming to this stage... but on the other it feels like we've lost some drive along the way to understand the system.

Then again, maybe all of this is just some romanticism for my Golden Age of Programming..

Sorry to comment so long after the post, but I was wondering if you had any updates as to if your changes made any difference to readship?

Re: Intro to Fargo scripting

Oh man, I am super excited about this! I think I'll spend a couple hours migrating some scripts over to use the new verbs.

Re: An RSS community get-together?

Angelo — Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:51:02 -0000

I'd definitely be interested. RSS isn't just a way to share blog updates, it's a way to enable content sharing at its basest level and it would be great to meet other people who feel the same way.

Re: 1940 news items still to read from my RSS feeds

Angelo — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:50:06 -0000

I this this aspect of RSS readers. That number grows so much every day and then it's this huge ugly guilt trip that stares at me every time =p

It's why I started working on my own rss reader that kinda ignores that "unread count"

Re: Error Handling with Twilio

I've been waiting for a while to find a reason to use it but, other than some prank phone-calls on some friends, I hadn't thought of any practical applications for me.
