And it's still a weasel apology

Generally a weasel apology would be:

"I'm sorry If I made someone feel bad"

Not

"I am sorry. I feel terrible that I made someone else feel terrible."

Corey's apology did feel nicer, but I don't think that Steve's was a bad apology.

In his "apology", Steve says three times that he was "accidentally" an asshole. That doesn't sound very sincere.

He also talks more about his feelings than the person he's apologizing to!

Frequent use of ASM in a web dev shop? Really?

Not to a huge degree, admittedly, but enough that more than a few of us have ended up with a more in-depth knowledge of assembly than one might expect.

This has typically arisen from working with existing OSS projects which incorporate vector transforms and the ilk in ASM, often badly or subtly brokenly, and from building optimised functions for doing fun things like creating n-dimensional maps of customer/product relationships in order to determine purchase propensity based on cluster profiles.

So yeah, ASM in a web shop. Except we're only kinda a web shop these days - client sites are our marketing platform, but our business is business systems.

Data binding solves this generically. It allows you to build state machine trivially Stuff like angular and ember do this amazingly well though it would be nice to have a nice standalone library. (no idea if one exists)

Great send. That crux looks very fun!

All I could find. https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/plugin-futures/2010-April...

Yes. I can't tell if that's a bit or not.

Aww, I would be much more excited to go read if it were a bit. (A comedy routine, or alternatively, very very short)

We just switched from backbone to angular. The thing that sold me was data-binding. You could write your own with backbone but it's done so why bother. Also the code reduction was about 1/3.

You don't need to write your own data binding in backbone. Several smart developers have already written plugins for this very thing. I usually forget about backbone plugins when workin on a new problem, and get halfway down my thought process before remembering to check https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/wiki/Extensions,-P.... To be fair, the backbone website does a terrible job of promoting these resources.

Thank you very much for posting this. I've been working on a Backbone app and have never seen this before!

You're welcome. Good luck!

Because newer members not familiar with the guidelines typically post the more inflammatory comments that we have seen as of late.

Then this will reduce the amount of impact they have on the community as a whole. They will be doing us a favor by starting out ruining their karma.

Also, to state the obvious, every member here was a new member at one time and I'm not ready to say that is "typical" behavior. It's just very memorable behavior.

The whole reason why I submitted this was because PG said it wasn't the comments that cause issues but that bad comments were getting upvoted too much.

Jiggy I honestly think I remember you especially if you played under this exact name. Anyways I was on the other side as a core myg0t member for a while. It was fun, and why I started programming.

I take that back as my dyslexia kicked in. I knew. Jiggy2001

No, not me. I only used this handle on HN because the one I wanted was taken.

No, but it certainly looks interesting. According to the collective intelligence that is the internets current tDCS products cost upwards of $600, so this might be an interesting alternative.
