Plugawy··on The Hitchhiker's Guide to Modern JavaScript Tooling
Can you post some examples of your Makefiles?

I'm trying to work out how I can replace Rails' asset pipeline without getting a headache caused by overwhelming number of node-based tools I'd have to install.

Having one tool + make sounds like something I'd gladly adopt.

Plugawy··on Show HN: Tail out log files from multiple remote hosts with one command
So it's basically:

    tail -f <(ssh -t host 'tail -f /var/log/sth') <(ssh -t host2 'tail -f /var/log/sth')
+ I need to install nodejs?
Plugawy··on Textmate2 Goes Open Source
Vim had abbreviations way before TextMate has been created. Think about that.
Plugawy··on Show HN: Weekend project - Gitscore
I had the same problem and it turned out that if you block Facebook and/or Twitter you will break things.
Plugawy··on Dotfiles.github.com - A guide to dotfiles on GitHub
Why not? I've been using it without any problems. It's just easier to manage.
Plugawy··on Rails 3 Performance - Not Good Enough
ree is 1.8.7 - Rails3 doesn't work with anything below 1.8.7
Plugawy··on Google Music Service
That's what I did - I got a cheapest VPS for $5 so that I can stream stuff from Hulu/CrunchyRoll/and few other services.

Plus - it's always useful to have a VPS anyway.

Plugawy··on Mozilla Chromeless 0.2
Wow, it's pretty much the same as Titanium Desktop.

(yes - I remember XULRunner and Adobe AIR - but the first didn't have any usable documentation, and the later is just Flash with webkit web view + AS<->JS bridge)

Plugawy··on Ask HN: Review my status board startup
Any chance for adding own data through REST api?

I'd be nice to see output of my custom monitoring daemon sent as JSON to your service and displayed in the Dashboard.

Plugawy··on Ask HN: Review my status board startup
Any reason why I can't sign up with my real name (which contains non-ascii characters)?

Come on! It's XXI century.

Plugawy··on Ask HN: For the prototype.js users -- is it worth it?
Oh, good to know - I haven't looked at jQuery since 1.2 since Prototype and MooTools where doing the job for me.
Plugawy··on Ask HN: For the prototype.js users -- is it worth it?
Depends on what are you going to do - I created quite big apps in both jQuery and Prototype.

Whatever you want to do - you can do in both - it all depends on the size. I find Prototype better for big projects where you can use it's class system. It feels like Ruby as well.

jQuery on the other hand is small and gets the job done, but without a plan on how to structure your code things can get really messy.

Plugawy··on Alfred App
Interesting thing is that the latest version of Launchy works on OSX as well.
Plugawy··on They Make Apps
They need an app for that I'm afraid...
Plugawy··on [dead]
Wow. How could the forget about Mighty Mouse?
Plugawy··on [dead]
Box of chocolates is a bad advice, unless you want to it them yourself ("why did you buy it? you know I'm on a diet...")
Plugawy··on Common REST Mistakes
Not true, XHR allows to use DELETE and PUT without any problems.

But yes - Flash can only use POST and GET (or maybe only POST? It's been quite a long time since I used Action script)

Plugawy··on Amusing Comment Thread
True. I've seen it way to many times - instead of just typing facebook.com (no http or www required!) they just type "facebook" in Google search in Firefox
Plugawy··on JavaScript memory leak patterns
One more way of avoiding memory leaks is event delegation - here's quite good article about it: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2008/07/23/javascript-event-d...
Plugawy··on JS/UIX - a unix-like OS written in javascript
http://www.haxney.org/2009/08/its-alive.html

and of course:

Plugawy··on Emacs as a tiling window manager
Cool stuff - especially when I decided to switch to emacs from vim.

Fixes one of the annoyances (moving between splits)

Plugawy··on Beautiful fixed-width fonts for OSX
Dominoes!

I know what my next pet-project will be.

Plugawy··on JSpec: JavaScript Testing Framework
I've been using evidence.js so far, but this looks much better organized (and can be more easily integrated with other environments)
Plugawy··on Quake 1 ported to Flash
I have to disappoint you - I played original Quake on Pentium 133 running at 38fps, software rendering, without any glitches.

As far as I remember - not many things were running slow at that time - it was either you had the hardware to run stuff, or not.

Plugawy··on Quake 1 ported to Flash
Strange. I've tried it on 3 year old mac mini, OSX Leopard, 2gb ram with Firefox. Worked just fine.
Plugawy··on Jquery Basics Series
jQuery doesn't support classes on its own. There might be a plugin for that.

Taking from my own experience (I built rather big Adobe AIR app with jquery) if you need classes (and all the stuff that comes with OOP) you are better of using Prototype or MooTools. When you reach certain size of an application written using jQuery maintenance becomes a nightmare

Plugawy··on Jquery Basics Series
That's enough! jQuery is the most popular JS framework -> everyone is writing about it -> there are thousands of tutorials on how to start working with jquery/understand jquery/build a toilet with jquery -> why another one? Can we see something more advanced? Like - how to create reusable pieces of code instead of

    $('stuff').click(function() { alert('wowza!'); });
? Thank you.
Plugawy··on 30 years of failure: the username/password combination
Interesting - I've been using the method for a while now and I thought I'm the only one who does it :-)

Plugawy··on Tig, the ncurses front-end to Git
Never liked svnx - seems to be very unstable/slow (or it's just our svn server). Coming back to my question - I was thinking about exactly the same application as tig (which is awesome btw) but for subversion (not gui but based based on ncurses).
