I've just signed up (henry.oswald) your drop down on the pay now in chrome crops off the cents in the price.

Fantastic implementation. Out of intrest did you think about using Ace? Do you prefer codemirror?

Support for DBRefs is fantastic news! Not having this has been my number 1 frustration using node & mongo.

I always wondered about this word, I never really hear it, is it an Americanism (UK here) or am I sheltered?

In the trade we call this a typing mistake, ment to be a 3 or a 1.

Thanks, for me it makes sense to use the smallest unit available as the main unit, i.e. cents not dollars / pence not pounds.

I had never heard of her but her wikipedia background seems to be quite 'techie'. BSc in Symbolic systems, MSc in Computer Science, first female engineer hired at Google.

Im not a security expert but saying something isn't in the top 10 worst anymore isn't the same as saying its now better, Flash & Java may have become more insecure.

Of course it is ok.

onto the real question why is it not used more: I think it is partly a community based cycle the developer community has which I know I was swept along with, a lot of cool technologies are on nix first e.g. node.js, this attracts good people, the good people develop interesting stuff for nix and repeat. Cost and being open source are perhaps factors people cite for their choice but I often don't fully by into that.

I am about to start at a company which is 95% .NET and although everything else about them is great that was slightly turn off at first because I would be leaving the 'cool' side, then I realised how irrelevant it really is.

An attention grabbing headline but all the same I have been using now.js and its been a great tool (although a cut down on the print statements would be nice).

Are they going to fully integrate firebug into firefox rather than having it as an extension?

in the current form its impossible in vim. perhaps vico can implement something but im not looking to jump on that ship.

All I can say is finally! It shouldn't have taken this long but will be very welcome by everyone.

Thank you very much for the offer, this is something I love to do and would be ideal for me, I was a lazy teen and dropped maths after GCSE when I really shouldn't have (I droped just about everything hard, I was a very kevin and perry teen and went to a bad school). 10 years later I really regret this, I would love to understand the basics of things like analysing algorithms, encoding/encryption stuff etc. I've moved into CS relatively late and the lack of maths has caught me out when it shouldn't. I am currently finishing off a masters in Information Systems which has gone fantastically well but my maths is still lacking by miles. Networks was particularly hard when it came to understanding things like encryption.

I have watched a couple of MIT videos on introduction to Algorithms but they were a bit beyond me so I need to take a step back first. I've watched a few kahn videos but there is just so much I am not quite sure where to put my time. I have thought about taking a Maths A level course at some time when I get time but this year has been full on with other learning.

I start my first professional developers job at the end of September and being able to just do some basic big-O would be amazing. This thread is actually becoming valuable for links and recommendation to other resources I should explore.

"Dislikes JavaScript" prefer to elaborate?

its a small comment, I found my thought process quite interesting. If you want to talk about really blurring then a framework which can easily and safely share the same models on both the client and server would be very interesting. (looking forward to seeing what batman.js is)

I am working in Node this summer and when I read "Javascript MCV" I thought great a new server side framework. off topic yes, but blurring the lines between server and client has unexpected repercussions.

Does anyone have the numbers/more info to hand? i.e. what are the charges.

I love the gid-scribe idea, I am learning backbone atm and one of the problems is the changes in 0.5.0 seem to put lots of old resources out of whack by a few degrees.

I think resources should be paid for (I just bought the peepcode videos from a comment here) I would be mildly worried that $49 might be a little high for some, but then again I hope I am wrong. Previews are always nice to see, the first couple of chapters to get a feel.

Without sounding condescending there is a lot of law, is it US or EU law? related to software, IP, liability etc or murders and fun stuff?

"FWIW, I'm not a core contributor or anything like that, I'm just a guy who's made a hell of a nice living using Drupal. "

Would you mind expanding on that. Do you offer a plethora of services or focus on one or two things? A friend of mine set up shop building small sites for local business with drupal and is always tell me how great it is.

4.x has Git integrated which is one difference.

Me to, youtube must have the most active user time of any of the google sites, this must be a missed opportunity?

Been playing with it this evening and it will be replacing terminal for me. I also found this nice collection of themes to pimp it out a little:

Is FB better than chrome dev tools?

I see the EC2's are in different regions but not the RDS, can you choose which region your put your RDS in or is that not a factor?

I agree totally. Of interest I put on my facebook status I am in Google+ and can invite people in, out of 300 people 7 asked. Make of that what you will.

I bought the alpha a few months back because I was very impressed with the demo. Its fast, looks good and has good amount of power, power close to Vim level in my opinion. But at the end of the day I use Vim because it is so ubiquitous (and open).

a couple of reasons I think we see so many

1) the development time / potential number of users ratio is attractive for a developer (easy 100+ watchers on github etc) 2) many people have built their own grid system over the years and feel like sharing them, documenting it and putting it on github isn't hard.

missing r/node which is occasionally has interesting things.
