Damn people are so dumb.. way to ruin your reputation. This is why I should start my own start-up :|

Oh and did the developer of Flat UI file a counter takedown notice?

Edit: Sorry if I offended anyone, just posted what I thought.

Does this break Meteor.js? (It uses <template> for.. templates)

Actually that's the only bit confusing part of the documentation (which now everyone is quoting to troll Angular).

AFAIK CSS uses camelCase for variables.[1]

I don't find that post hilarious but good thing: they no longer need to do the dirty-checking in the latest Chrome[1], which will improve performance significantly.

Angular is used internally by Google for bit-more-than-complex projects so its possible my friend. It was also used for the Double Click for Advertisers rewrite.[1]

>and still lot of things they didn't support like proper callbacks upon rendering, etc

Heh render callbacks in Angular? That's so Backbone. Did you read the hello world tutorial?

>Angular.js. Now this is more like it in terms of magic. Then, the other day, I decided to add a date picker to one of my forms. Uh oh: http://www.grobmeier.de/angular-js-binding-to-jquery-ui-date.... - how many lines of code just to make it a date picker? I couldn't have written that code myself without several more days of banging my head. Wonder what'd happen if I really try and do something it doesn't agree with... So out the window with that for the time being.

To be fair, you can just use Angular UI as that article says: <input ng-model="date" ui-date> for a date picker and the ui-jq directive for any other jQuery plugin.

Re:Web Scraping with Node.js and Chimera on Thursday January 03, 2013 @01:43AM (#5001284)
Just in case this saves someone's time:

phantomjs-node uses ridiculous hacks. Not being rude but I think the author was drunk when writing that. I ended up wasting quite some time when trying to customize it.

You do NOT need to use any hacks whatsoever to run dnode on phantom, just browserify(https://github.com/substack/node-browserify) the shoe and dnode modules and use the example code at https://github.com/substack/dnode .

Makes me kinda hate the book since he was such an awesome blogger. :(

>There’s no way to download resources with phantomjs – the only thing you can do is create a snapshot of the page as a png or pdf. That’s useful but meant we had to resort back to request() for the PDF download.

That's not a "problem", you shouldn't be using Webkit to download files.

Totally agree. Even worse is when someone tries to shove another language down your throat in a JavaScript tutorial i.e., CoffeeScript.

Same. I also feel bad for the people stuck with Backbone.
I won't suggest any non-technical person to use the "open web" you guys want.
