Angular: Just say no

A collection of articles by AngularJS veterans, sometimes even core committers, that explain in detail what's wrong with Angular 1.x, how Angular 2 isn't the future, and why you should avoid the entire thing at all costs unless you want to spend the next few years in hell.

Reason for this: I'm getting tired of having to explain to everyone, chief of which all the indiscriminate Google Kool-Aid™ drinkers, why I have never believed in Angular, why I think it'll publicly fail pretty soon now (a couple years), and why it's a dead end IMO. This gist serves as a quick target I can point people to in order not to have to parrot / compile the core of the articles below everytime. Their compounded reading pretty much captures 99% of my view on the topic.

This page is accessible through http://bit.ly/angular-just-say-no and http://bit.ly/angularjustsayno, btw.

I won't be using Angular for my next project...and neither should you. • Robe

How to connect PS3 controller to a Mac or PC

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:

Hi, all.

Encouraged by my successful experiment with a Node.js view server, I am now working on a branch, nodejs_couchdb, with the following properties:

Remove couchjs from the project
Remove dependency on SpiderMonkey, libjs, 1.8.whatever...all that is gone
Remove dependency on libcurl
(Thus, simplified autoconf version dependency Hell)

Phase 1: Dependency on a "couchjs" executable which you install via npm install couchjs

	#! /usr/bin/env bash

	# Install any build dependencies needed for curl
	sudo apt-get build-dep curl

	# Get latest (as of Feb 25, 2016) libcurl
	mkdir ~/curl
	cd ~/curl
	wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.50.2.tar.bz2
	tar -xvjf curl-7.50.2.tar.bz2

	interface Window {

	let someMockWindowObject = {
	// add some mock functionality here
	};

	# Automated AMI Backups
	#
	# @author Bobby Kozora
	#
	# This script will search for all instances having a tag with the name "backup"
	# and value "Backup" on it. As soon as we have the instances list, we loop
	# through each instance
	# and create an AMI of it. Also, it will look for a "Retention" tag key which
	# will be used as a retention policy number in days. If there is no tag with
	# that name, it will use a 7 days default value for each AMI.

	# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.
	#
	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
	# programs.
	#
	# Once you're done here, go to
	# http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html
	# to learn SOOOO much more.
