maxmzd_ | 10 years ago | on: Why a German billionaire says that pledges like Mark Zuckerberg’s are really bad

While that is true, and a problem, it doesn't make the point of the article any less valid. If anything, you are agreeing with it now.

I believe it's assumed that if a species is capable of producing a mechanism to communicate with other interstellar species, then they necessarily have an understanding of math and physics.

I've worked with Blake on several projects and he's on a different level. Highly recommend this action!

Very well done. Love the simple approach. Definitely going to check this out.

Awesome list! I used Zach's interaction library, Impulse, in a recent project and it's fantastic. http://impulse.luster.io/ This guy really knows his stuff.

Thanks. Impulse is a new interaction library: http://impulse.luster.io/

Thanks! And not yet, but I'm working on a blog post to show it off a bit more.

Thanks!

Did you happen to resize your browser? I notice that some things get janky because of the waypoints after resize. Need to work on that.

I wrote custom Backbone.js views and subviews to handle the shop tags. But you're right, this would be an awesome WordPress plugin. The affiliate network RewardStyle has something similar, but it's lacking a few things, which is why I wrote my own.

Hey, thanks for checking it out!

Where are you seeing the emails and IP addresses of the commenters?

maxmzd_ | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Custom CMS using Node and Backbone for my girlfriend's fashion blog

Yeah, lots of opportunity here for sure. One thing I've been getting good feedback on from some fashion bloggers is the "shop the look" feature on each photo. Affiliate links is how many fashion bloggers monetize.

Thanks!

I learned Node.js by watch some of Pedro Teixeira's screencasts: http://nodetuts.com/

I'm using Express.js as the backend framework and read some tutorials on that. Can't remember which ones.

I learned Backbone.js by reading the docs: http://backbonejs.org/ along with reading source code of projects I was familiar with.

This best practices article came in handy too: http://geeks.bizzabo.com/post/83917692143/7-battle-tested-ba...

For layout design, I tend to sketch my UX ideas on paper. For this site, since it's so minimal, I designed straight in the browser using HTML / CSS (SASS)

Cool, good to hear! I will push towards it. Admin panel is located at a hidden URL right now. There are no user accounts yet, just a single, protected resource with a private key. That's one of the things I need to add.

maxmzd_ | 11 years ago | on: Show HN: Custom CMS using Node and Backbone for my girlfriend's fashion blog

No, I wrote it solely for the purpose of this blog, but I wouldn't mind open sourcing it after I add a couple more things to the admin panel (if there's interest).

maxmzd_ | 11 years ago | on: Why don't you want to be a full time employee?

AngelList is a great resource. Fill out your profile, connect with people you know, and list yourself as a contractor. Then go through jobs looking for contractors and hit "Yes." This is how I've found 90% of my contract work over the past 3 years (in the Bay Area).

Love this one "...you need to have that long-term willingness to be misunderstood. It's a key part of invention."

maxmzd_ | 12 years ago | on: MasterCard's Simplify Commerce

Please do. That's the one feature of Simplify I saw that made me want to switch.

In Dog Dental I really like how the bottom of the D forms the dog's neck.
