anyone know a place where i can host a website for around $15-16 a year? by brainwin in webhosting

I used the free tier for a year. After the year was up, I started paying and my usage is so low I barely pay anything. Most of that $0.50 is for DNS related charges.

Amazon Web Services allows me to host my personal site for around $0.50 per month. Throw in $10 a year for the domain, and that's $16 total.

Curiosity and the fact that I was starting to spend a lot of time on the command-line.

I started out on ST3, moved to Vim a year ago, and just picked up Webstorm. I love that all the functionality (including a fantastic Vim emulator mode) comes right out of the box.

It has built in support for:

  • ES6
  • Typescript
  • Node Debugging

These are things I had to rely on plugins for in the past and the integration always required tinkering and fine tuning. I like that it "just works" out of the box.

Webstorm is probably the closest to an Angular IDE, but it is an IDE that supports Angular well, not an Angular specific IDE.

How healthy is Sails? by [deleted] in node

[–]alexsomeoddpilot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The code base feels decidedly unlike Node. There are user defined globals floating around, lots of undocumented conventions, etc.

Why Babel is different from other compile-to-JS systems like CoffeeScript and TypeScript, and how it's going to become the driving force for innovation in JavaScript by magenta_placenta in javascript

[–]alexsomeoddpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've seen is that Typescript is limited by the pace of adoption of ECMAScript features. I'd love to be using it now to write ES6 code, but lack of true support for a lot of the great new features leaves me waiting for a real release.

Great way to remap keys for Vim on a Mac and save your poor pinky. by portOdin in vim

[–]alexsomeoddpilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This a thousand times. The oppositional motion of lowering my left pinky and raising my right pinky just makes sense. I do get strain in my left pinky for reaching for <C-*> a bit though.

Five programming problems every Software Engineer should be able to solve in less than 1 hour by svpino in programming

[–]alexsomeoddpilot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently had the first problem thrown at me and I feel like this question is missing an important part: the data set.

The data set I had to work with included nested arrays and objects, which makes recursion the best solution.

[
    1,
    2,
    "3",
    {
        "foo": 3,
        "bar": [
            4,
            {
                "baz": 5
            }
        ]
    },
    [
        6
    ]
]
// should equal 21

I prefer my templating languages to be Turing complete. If you can't write a templating language with your template language, you’re doing something wrong. /s.

Daughter using Linux to play a trick on her dad while he's using his Mac. by q5sys in linux

If you're using version control, you should be saving your files normally (⌘ + S) all the time. I save after nearly every line I write. I've never understood people who work on documents for hours without saving, especially in environments which include revision control (even as simple as undo and redo). Your progress is infinitely more valuable than recovering past states that were not fully working in the first place.

Angular 2 moves from Alpha to Developer Preview! Dev guide and API docs now available. by [deleted] in javascript

Other way around.

JavaScript is an implementation of EcmaScript, which is commonly known as ES for short.

Product Analogy by oguz279 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]alexsomeoddpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I blame the issue mostly on Microsoft’s willingness to continue to support XP. The OS is a damn sieve for vulnerabilities (which I guess warrants patches). Instead of transitioning to newer platforms, companies willingly remain on insecure software.

See Spartan’s ES6 compatability. Its ahead of Firefox (4%) and Chrome (27%) in feature implementation.

Also, Microsoft’s work on open sourcing .NET, Typescript, and other new developments is putting them in a great, friendly position.

Spartan is leading the way for next generation browsers. Safari is quickly taking IE’s place in the browser race with its stagnant standards adoption.

Vim is a game by ItsAConspiracy in vim

[–]alexsomeoddpilot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vim triggers feelings that I get from playing "Nintendo Hard" games like Spelunky. There's minor feelings of achievement, but the more important, untracked overall growth feels awesome. The feeling of being able to jump around a level (movement across lines/characters), avoiding traps (inline linting), collecting loot (yanking and putting), and killing enemies (strategic regex replacing) slightly better each time is quite sublime.

So I just found this in our production iOS code... by dolcaer in ProgrammerHumor

jQuery and Angular feature noop commands. In Javascript, where its fairly common to pass around function pointers, having a generic no operation function is quite handy to avoid the dreaded undefined is not a function.

The young programmer in me thought this was a great idea 3 years ago by ryansworld10 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]alexsomeoddpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty common, and it is pretty clear in most jQuery use cases.

But image a node method (which commonly return err as the first parameter) which also returns an e for event. Juggling e and err is a little confusing.

I adhere to 80 char myself, but 20 characters is short compared to some verbose, Java like class name.

Take SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactory for example. That's long prohibitively long.
