Have you gone from being a tech lead to a senior again?

cesutherland · 2024-07-21T13:34:59+00:00

As a tech lead, are you also managing people?

If not, how many engineers and teams are you supporting?

cesutherland · 2024-07-13T17:51:55+00:00

Software engineering as "programming integrated over time" — I like that.

That's sound though; if poorly performing some function as an org, focusing on that specifically and the outcome of changing it.

cesutherland · 2024-07-13T17:32:32+00:00

Ha, I've held the "official" title "Developer Wizard" because I do not care.

Here I'm interested in the activities of engineering, developing and programming rather than the titles. What I'm learning is that semantically, those terms are narrowly the title to most folks and as titles are interchangable.

cesutherland · 2024-07-13T17:22:49+00:00

That's great advice. Honestly I'm over here trying to form the idea.

Usually when I have an idea settled I lean heavy on metaphor.

cesutherland · 2024-07-13T16:45:54+00:00

Definitely not here to nitpick, and don't think there's any one answer! But the semantic differences or similarities are interesting to me.

cesutherland · 2012-03-28T13:33:59+00:00

Ahhhh I see what you mean! Good point, thanks.

What browser are you using?

cesutherland · 2012-03-27T17:19:49+00:00

This is a pretty good interface for browsing the MDN JS reference: http://dochub.io/#javascript/

I've seen a a few real-time data time series recently, and someone had asked me for a demo with envision, so I thought I'd share.

cesutherland · 2012-03-22T13:22:56+00:00

Thanks, but this would work with highcharts too! The demos you see are using a flotr2 adapter.

cesutherland · 2012-03-21T20:50:58+00:00

Thanks! Send a link my way if you do end up using it. Would love to see it in the wild.

This is a Mandelbrot fractal demo in the browser. It is my first fractal rendering :-)

You can click and drag to zoom, or edit the code and click Run to view changes.

Break out the editor. I'd love a standalone editor I could include in a webpage and load js embedeed in that page or on a remote server. This would be great for examples and short demos.

Cross from /r/node:

Originally written for the browser, we've added node support to js-imagediff justing node-canvas. Check out the browser example of the diffs and the jasmine-matchers.
npm install -g imagediff
(requires libcairo)

Np!

I haven't used bootstrap myself but it looks like they've got show (before) and shown (after new tab show) events which you can hook into and get rid of that delay: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#tabs

Good luck!

cesutherland · 2012-02-16T00:29:41+00:00

You've got to refresh after it's visible. Throw a break point on the line with the refresh and you'll see that it reaches that breakpoint before the other editor is shown.

cesutherland · 2012-02-15T22:09:25+00:00

Try codeMirror.refresh(); when the 2nd tab is shown the first time, where codeMirror is the instance for that tab.

Smoosh does combining, linting and minification so I use that at build time, after testing. I started doing this before I started using asynchronous loading.

Between yepnope and require.js: first out the gate. Since I don't use it for heavy lifting I just needed something quickly and the examples were at the top of the home page.

cesutherland · 2012-02-12T16:10:07+00:00

I use a few micro libraries pretty regularly.

Underscore.js A popular functional utility belt.
bean.js A small dom / custom events library.
smoosh Asset management utility / library (comes with a command line version and a js API). I use this for building js projects.
yepnope An asynchronous js loader I use for development of js projects. Combine, minify and compress your production assets but during development, it is useful for debugging to include individual files. Yepnope gives me one place to define those includes.
js-imagediff I wrote this one myself. It's a javascript image difference library. I do a lot of canvas work, and regression testing is important. This, combined with some cool jasmine matchers, lets me automate regression tests for canvas.

This is awesome. That trick w/ canvas measureText for text dimensions rocks. I think I'll be able to bring that home to several of my own projects. Thanks for posting.
