33000 something, nov 2008. Just interesting to see how the growth escalated in 2009 judging by other comments here as well.

Great, the esp32 will probably never be discovered. Because when the landlord decides to fix the original problem, the whole unit will probably be replaced.

Your kids collect stones and sticks. You collect emails, and probably browser tabs and desktop icons. When you move to new PC, all your desktop files ends up in a directory called New folder on the new pc’s desktop and the journey to fill the new desktop starts over before you have New folder and New folder 2 on the upcoming pc.

"A developer’s dream is a devops engineer’s nightmare"

Well, the opposite is very much true as well.

A devops engineer's dream is usually a developers nightmare.

Sorry for the harsh attitude here.

You work as devops engineer for 15y and you reply-all to spam emails?

Look at those gifs enabling the rounded corners.

And also remember how slow connections was back then so the progressive enhancement from square to round wasnt just a blink.

So many memories

If music makes you less focused, I feel sorry for everyone working in physical stores and getting WHAM:ed every day for weeks leading up to Christmas.

Excellent release. Congratulations ant team.

Now waiting for the future without any IE support at all to make bundle even slimer and significantly more performant.

New comment by xmlninja in "My Critique of HealthKit as Both iOS Dev and Registered Nurse"

xmlninja — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 09:08:02 +0000

HealthKit is about quantified self. Aggregating data from services like runkeeper, garmin, mapmyfitness, nike+, withings, myfitnesspal, fitbit, jawbone and all the others. Apple is also clever in the way that they release this api first, making all these provides use their api first, before they release their own iWatch which likekly will have sensors to contribute to healthkit.

New comment by xmlninja in "You might not need jQuery"

xmlninja — Fri, 31 Jan 2014 06:55:51 +0000

Its not about reinventing the wheel. Its about being open minded. jQuery is great, and if you are going to use zepto, you might as well use jquery 2.0

But it doesnt hurt to understand how basic stuff works under the hood of jquery and to know native dom operations. The world is not black and white. Good developers know that, they dont get stuck in discussions whatever jQuery should be used everywhere or nowhere.
