Re:Migrating from Ember.js to AngularJS on Tuesday February 05, 2013 @07:08AM (#5170226)
How does an angular app deal with layouts and regions? I.e. Landing and Loggedin Layout, both with totally different regions.

Marionette prefers Region managers, and I guess ember does it in a similar way. What the angular way of doing it?

Yeah, but that doesn't explain why even after 2 years - which is almost the same as backbone, it has had such a low adaption.

PS: wary of sounding negative - I am just trying to get someone help me convince them next week.

Unrelated:

I am trying to convince a client to use angular instead of backbone.

They are however thrown off by the fact that there aren't many startups using it in production. And I can't figure a satisfactory answer to that. Any explanations why is that?

Re:Why a Computer Science Degree Matters on Saturday December 15, 2012 @02:26PM (#4926058)
But we are not taking into account cases where a CS degree does irrevocable harm.

For example, the tendency to religiously follow patterns, over-complicate things.

IMO these concepts come up all the time. A CS degree might help you to know what they are, but not when and how of applying them.

Also plenty of self-taught developers are aware of these patterns. I can't imagine a "good developer" who wouldn't know about FSM, or someone who would use redis without considering time complexity.

IB isn't a typical example of western educational system, so you are wrong there. For example I would never say that the Italian Maturità or German Abitur is better than the Indian one.

I have done both british A levels and CBSE 12, and I can say that both have their own positives. But encouraging critical thought isn't one of them for either.

For me - fullstack dev - it has been celluloid: https://github.com/celluloid/celluloid

I had to move most of our apis/background-jobs to node after getting fed up with the concurrency issues that ruby had. This fixes that. Although I don't think it can compare with node/eventmachine on the performance front. But that's ok IMO in most situations.

I am thinking about moving most of our api/background tasks to ruby from node, and using node only for cases that require some sort of proxying - for example proxying an request to a private elasticsearch server after authenticating.

Excellent architectural skills.

Just talk to me on abhishiv[at]gmail.com and you'll be sold.

This is great, I have had some scripts to do it for me manually but this is sweet.

I would also suggest everyone to use the asset pipeline for things like phonegap or pure html5 apps. It makes the entire process so clean and painless.
