@k_mcq Apparently having an Irish surname is no guarantee of knowing anything about Ireland, the UK, or the history of terrorism therein.

@ChaseSupport trying to calculate gross income for credit card application. Can I use salary of an accepted new job that hasn't started yet?

Apropos to the “Web Design: The First 100 Years” article that made the rounds last summer. #intel #cpuarchitecture https://t.co/Ux7172Ch7d

Good discussion of limits/problems v. long-term benefits of "put a sensor on it" approach to tech. #IoT #BigData https://t.co/fySABvxglk

Anytime I see something about Brian Kernighan, I squeal with joy on the inside. At least I try to keep it inside. 😃 https://t.co/j4eqnLPsNk

@lukdomanski thanks! it's not exactly sophisticated but it was my first time putting together all the parts of the MEAN stack. 😊

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

I made this yesterday. It’s my first full #MEAN stack application. :)

My find of the day. Exciting to hear about new #WebRTC uses!
Check out this cool episode: https://t.co/Fkyl9kxmRU

@RichardBansal this started as a hackathon project but we didn't get the video working because no sleep and experimental APIs don't mix lol

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@RichardBansal once the demo is done I'll def post it. It uses #WebRTC to natively record video in the browser and stream it to a server.

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@RichardBansal yeah I'm fairly new to promises. Gonna take a break to read up on how they work then come back to it tomorrow to finish.

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@richardbansal promises. the promise isn't resolved at the point in execution where I try to return the module's public API object.

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

Trying to get a demo of a #WebRTC project up and running. Getting the #async pieces to play nicely inside a module pattern isn't easy.

@saltnburnem it may help it may not, but for me it made using and understanding JS pretty straightforward @getify @ydkjs

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@saltnburnem take a look at Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. it's not JS but it is the functional paradigm @getify @ydkjs

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@getify @saltnburnem I'm definitely looking forward to it! I'm just going through the series in order since no volume is very long.

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@saltnburnem @getify @YDKJS otherwise a lot of the functional aspects of the languages feel familiar from doing some Scheme programming

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@saltnburnem @getify @YDKJS not particularly. what still challenges me is shifting my thinking to fit into an asynchronous callback model

[Amanda @periphrasislove]

@saltnburnem @getify @ydkjs same here. just finished Scope & Closure this afternoon.
