Are You a Geek or Nerd?
Well, I can tell you about SproutCore developer's experiences with Ember's views: they're ripping them out of their apps.

About 10 months ago, Strobe was trumpeting the "Ember" model for views (auto-updating templates, heavy nesting, bindings everywhere) and a lot of SproutCore developers began to use it.

The bloom is definitely off of that rose. At the latest user group meeting three weeks ago, many developers spoke up about having to remove all of their template view code because the performance was absolutely terrible.

At this point, "Ember-style" template views have been relegated to a separate opt-in library, are only being recommend for lightweight read-only data, and the recommendation for developers to use them is being removed from SproutCore's documentation.

Completely agree what the author says.
"Apple also has nothing to gain from completely closing off OS X. It would destroy their developer base and be really bad PR"

That is the situation today. But a few years down the line, when the vast majority of apps are signed, we find ourselves in a completely different environment. One were it becomes possible to prevent untrusted apps altogether, because there's not that many of them, and it will help "protect" users.

They're doing this now, to create an environment where they can do more in future. This may not actually be their plan, but it strikes me to be a very likely outcome.

There will be OSX jailbreaks of course. But how many people are going to feel comfortable voiding their warranty on an expensive Macbook?

Credit-card security: Outfoxing the fraudsters
Ember is definitely an alternative to Backbone, but people should stop conflating Ember with SproutCore: the two frameworks are targeted at completely different types of apps.

FWIW, the SproutCore community has rejected the Ember approach for the kinds of apps SproutCore is meant for: large, desktop-style apps that need to run fast in modern web browsers. The supposed "features" Ember provides, like auto-updating templates, have proven to have such bad performance in existing SproutCore apps that developers have almost universally been ripping them out (this was discovered at the most recent SproutCore User Group last month).

Ember is an alternative to Backbone -- a 600 LOC micro-framework. That should tell you all you need to know about Ember's scope. (SproutCore is well over 20K LOC.)

Probably a better question for the Redis group, but I'll throw it here anyway.

Can someone explain why there's no Ordered Map in Redis? Basically to achieve and ordered index, one has to use Sorted Set and a classic Hash Map, and pair these two when ordered data are needed, which is an extra level of indirection and wasted space. Am I missing something?

A presentation on UI that uses px for examples CSS units... shame!
There's a lot of stuff on HN I like, and a lot of stuff I find boring or irrelevant. Unfortunately, the stuff that I really like tends to be novel and unpredictable, so trying to teach some kind of Bayesian classifier to recognise things I'll like is probably not going to work.

Personally, I think I'd be perfectly happy with an old-school killfile: do not show me posts whose headlines contain the strings "X", "Y" or "Z", or that link to sites "A", "B" or "C".

Wolfr - This is really good, really appreciate spending the time to document this in a presentation. It's amazing how some of the smallest things get overlooked.

Here is another goodie but specific to mobile UI design:

http://www.slideshare.net/mringlein/designing-for-mobile-678...
When I first saw the app, I thought I could take a photo of an outfit and it would return purchasing suggestions.

So if I understand it, you take a bunch of photos, some fashion interns find places online where you can buy similar looking products (although they probably only look in places where you get an affiliate commission) and then you list those items where the user can individually go and purchase them to make a complete outfit?

Some problems I ran into were that items you linked to were no longer available. Most of the sites you linked to were not mobile friendly, so I wouldn't purchase from them on my HTC Desire anyway. And who are you targeting to? There is a huge range of prices, $50 to $1600 for jewellery?

And why only for women? Women love shopping, going to the shops and looking round. Why not target it for men? You've seen how well The Trunk Club is doing.

Certainly the way we discover and buy fashion is ripe for disruption, but I don't feel like Kaleidoscope (on mobile) is offering me any better alternatives that what already exist.

I also think the title is misleading. What it actually does is take me from a photo to a breakdown list of the constituent parts of the outfit. I then click on one constituent part, say a clutch bag, and get taken to another list of similar clutch bags chosen by some interns. At that point, I choose one of those clutch bags and get redirected to a non-mobile friendly website where I can choose to add that item to my shopping cart on that site and go through the checkout process.

Actually, "Takes You from Photo to Purchase" would be something like, "buy this whole outfit for $270", on click purchase you take care of ordering the constituent parts from the various retailers.

I want an app like this to succeed so I hope you guys have more coming - unless I missed something already.
I think it's less an absolute, and a lot more "it depends".

If you're building a 3 page website for a mom and pop operation, then ok, have a JavaScript free site. If you're happy with the sites from the 1990's, then no JavaScript is just fine.

It's possible in some cases to use progressive enhancement, so that those without JavaScript get a working, albeit really poor, experience. How much effort you put into creating that option, and maintaining it, depends on your cost-benefit analysis.

If however you want to build a site that the user interacts with, then JavaScript makes such an important difference that not to use JavaScript results in a crappy user experience.

I want every bit of data entry to be validated when it's entered, either on the client or the server, not wait for the user to click "submit".

I want forms to morph as the user enters data. Shipping address same as Billing address? Great, user clicks "Same As Billing" and all the Shipping Address fields vanish.

Shipping out-of-country? Ok, shippers that service the US only are removed from the Shipping options drop-down.

Don't get me started on a zillion user-interface improvements, like data-lookups, sliders, menus, autocomplete etc which enhance the user experience and make people want to use my app, and come back to it.

There are only 2 groups who don't have JavaScript support. Those using truly ancient browsers, and those who've actively turned it off. I honestly don't see the point of degrading the experience for everyone based one these two demographics. It's unlikely that either group will contribute significantly to my income, certainly not in proportion to what it costs to support them.

We make this trade-off all the time. If I write a desktop Windows program, I'm ignoring the 10-15% of folk not on Windows. If I write an iOS app I'm ignoring the folks with Android et al.

So - it depends.
Hmm. Good point.

Although using px makes for an easier example, you don't have to mention the scale in which you are sizing your ems. The example was about the spacing, not about the unit used to determine the distance between heading and paragraph.
Browser history is no longer linear
Something else that would help enormously is simply allowing stories and comments to be tagged.
Something went wrong with your formatting here:

"Custom is hard, and to me custom is really saying that you have more time to think about the behavior of a select box than Apple’s interaction design team.

And that you have the dev power to fix it. On every platform out there. So sometimes you just have to be pragmatic if you’re building a product."
The thing is, HN doesn't just contain links for the intellectually curious. It often has stories about a new school of thought, or an approach to design, or a new programming language or something. However, it also often has stories about Internet Drama in the tech startup community, or American political events, or practical advice for people entering the business world for the first time. They're popular here because they're relevant to a large proportion of the HN user-base, but it's certainly possible for someone to be both intellectually curious and uninterested in American politics.

Heroku-style deployment on non-Heroku servers
Born out of frustration with current Ruby deployment practices.

Capistrano is a workhorse, but if you combine it with rvm and bundler, you're in for a treat.

git-deploy works pretty well, but it's still not seamless and you end up having to work around it too often for my taste.

heroku solves the deployment process bang on.

This command-line utility brings the same heroku-style deploys convenience to a regular VPS, {cloud-provider} instance or even bare metal (if you're that hard core).

Agreed. Premature optimization is about "maybe", and feared performance loss.

Responsiveness matters to users; to them, speed is a feature, insofar as they can perceive it. The "JQuery tax" absolutely is a real, and user-perceptible issue.

"Avoiding premature optimization" can sometimes make it hard to undo poor design choices made early on that could have been avoided.
With all due respect Joel, it seems you missed a good number of the
inputs you could have used to train your classifier.

If I (jcr) want to know what classifies as "interesting to Joel"
(joelthelion), I simply look at the "comments" and "submissions" links
in your HN profile. It will show me the stuff you took the time to
comment on, or took the time to submit to HN.

If I want to know what's "interesting" to me, the "saved stories" link
is visible in my own profile even through it is not visible to others.
In the "saved stories" is THE goldmine of every submission I've either
submitted or up-voted.

https://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=jcr

Depending on your personal bookmarking habits, your bookmarks file/db
can be another useful input. I'm in the habit of bookmarking both the
submitted article, and the HN discussion page (if it's good). Assuming I
didn't book the HN discussion, I could easily find the HN
discussion/submission for all of the sites that I've ever bookmarked
with a search engine. Give google an URL and ask it for all of the sites
linking to that URL, then parse for HN, and you've got the target.

The serious problem I see with your approach was already mentioned by
ck2; you're creating a bubble and will miss out on all the fantastic
stuff that is interesting to you, but you don't yet know that it's
interesting to you.

One of the primary benefits of HN and similar sites is learning about
the things that others find interesting. Those things may not interest
me, but the fact that others find them interesting is, well,
interesting.

Why to they consider it interesting?

Why do I consider it uninteresting?

Even if my personal opinions remain unchanged, these are important
questions for me to keep asking myself, repeatedly.

> There are only 2 groups who don't have JavaScript support

That's not entirely accurate. While those are two of the most common cases there are plenty of other contributing factors (http://developer.yahoo.com/blogs/ydn/posts/2010/10/how-many-..., this comment makes a good case). Errors stemming from network congestion, developer error and even CDNs failing - only a few weeks ago the google hosted version of jquery (iirc) failed leaving lots of sites with broken JS and an effective no-JS experience.

Personally I think building a site that works well without JS and then progressively enhancing it is the Right Thing to do. It means you're building a robust site for the real web and the multitude of clients and conditions that comes with. In your example I wouldn't want JS failing to prevent a checkout process, it should be robust and continue working, albeit less smoothly.

> honestly don't see the point of degrading the experience for everyone based one these two demographics

IMO If you're doing progressive enhancement well then this is not the case. I don't think the iOS/Android comparison is accurate either. The web is much more varied, the differences less well defined.

You're right, it does depend on what you're building and for who. But I don't think the general case is as binary as you've make out.

I think the evil of premature optimization is attacking the wrong target first. 80ms isn't a small amount, but moving script tags around could have more potential side effects than say using proper caching, minifying etc

Is this person likely to engage in extreme sports? Hike his health insurance quota 5x because he is a "risk" to profits.

This person is likely to remain healthy for a long time, requiring little/no care for chronic ailments. Even in the event of an accident, it's likely to result in either death (free) or a serious injury (a moderately large one-time cost).

The expensive person is the fattie who develops diabetes, blood clots, and all the other chronic ailments of a sedentary lifestyle. Those sorts of things are expensive.
