TypeScript and currying

In functional programming you often want to apply a function partly. A simple example is a function add. It would be nice if we could use add like:

var res2 = add(1, 3); // => 4

var add10To = add(10);
var res = add10To(5); // => 15

AngularJS Directive Attribute Binding Explanation

When using directives, you often need to pass parameters to the directive. This can be done in several ways. The first 3 can be used whether scope is true or false. This is still a WIP, so validate for yourself.

1. Raw Attribute Strings

   <div my-directive="some string" another-param="another string"></div>

# This script ensures that your new subtrees point to the same commits as the
# old submodules did, unlike most other scripts that do this.
# THIS SCRIPT MUST BE PLACED OUTSIDE OF YOUR REPOSITORY!!!!!!!!!!
# Otherwise, the script will interfere with the git commits (unless you add it to .gitignore).
# Save the script in your home directory as `~/subtrees.sh`
# `cd` into your repository
# Run `~/subtrees.sh`

/**
 * VH and VW units can cause issues on iOS devices: http://caniuse.com/#feat=viewport-units
 * 
 * To overcome this, create media queries that target the width, height, and orientation of iOS devices. 
 * It isn't optimal, but there is really no other way to solve the problem. In this example, I am fixing 
 * the height of element `.foo` —which is a full width and height cover image.

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

How to connect PS3 controller on Mac OSX, PC, etc.

This is how you connect PS3 controller to Mac OSX, PC, etc. when previously connected to a PS3. You will need a Mini USB cable. Overcome your laziness, get up of your chair, and go get one!

A big misconception is that keep holding PS button will reset the controller's pairing. It DOES NOT! From my testings, the controller keeps paring with the last machine it was CONNECTED VIA A USB CABLE.

Here are the steps:
