This is where my curiosity lies. I wonder if the DICE founders were very sharp, knew what they were getting into, and had the leverage to set the kind of terms that would maximize their chances of success. For example,…
What about DICE? And BioWare? I wonder if DICE came to the negotiation table more prepared and/or with something up their sleeve. It could be that EA is hands off so long as a studio produces highly profitable titles.…
Here's a related talk, good stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQyj-kBRdo
Only habit. We're so used to var. But yea, need to transition to let for most things.
That's ES6 JavaScript (running on Node 0.11.15). We've already migrated most of our production code to this and we're loving it! If you like that kind of control flow, check out the library we wrote to do it:…
A common problem in a service oriented architecture is needed to minimize the amount of round trips to a particular service. Example: To render a UI view, I need to fetch a list of friends, a list of posts, and a list…
> If you haven't spent the time to figure out why Redis is so successful, it's very much worth sitting back and thinking about it. For anyone who hasn't explored the Redis source, do it! It's very approachable and…
What a terrible post. Actually, it does have one use. If you're a recent grad or new to the industry, pay close to attention. Don't be like this guy. Before you envelope yourself in the comfort of frameworks and…
My understanding is that Neovim will make it much easier for plugins to execute tasks in parallel and in the background. I'd use that for running ctags on save without blocking the editor, for example.
I picked one up today. Impressions so far: - Comfortable. - Looks nice, I like wearing it. Doesn't feel flashy. - Does what it says it will. No buggy surprises. - Scroll performance isn't very good. - UI feels right…
Or is this just the place where I do need to catch errors and process them? And if that is so, isn't it at odds with the whole concept of writing intentional code? No it's not. The author touches on this: Note the word…

Nothing wrong with two services using the same data source. If data locality is a concern, deploy both services alongside one another. Or you could place the data behind an API. It would speak HTTP/Thrift/whatever and…
One thing express doesn't do is manage URLs for you. I wrote a simple module that does this[0]. It helps, especially when you have a large number of URLS. [0] https://github.com/artnez/urltree
I'm also a VIM+Jedi a user. ipython is a pretty sweet interactive interpreter. Also try ipdb[0]. I can't live without the interactive debugging it offers. [0] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipdb
This is true, but existing Chrome users aren't notified when an extension is removed from the store. I had no idea of this malware until it surfaced when the redirect failed.
Since Chrome auto-updates extensions, users are likely not aware of this change. I've been using the extension for several months until I noticed the transparent redirection. In fact, the only reason I noticed the…
I was showing my Glass to a family member who visited from out of state. He's a commercial helicopter pilot, isn't wired in to the tech space, and didn't know much of anything about it. He went completely mental after…

There is a nice VIM plugin for renaming the current file you're editing. I use this a lot: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1928
A good middle ground is using a collection of well written libraries that achieve the function you're looking or. Doing that instead of using a monolithic framework has some nice benefits: 1) The libraries are…
