A minimal surface is the surface of minimal area between any given boundaries. In nature such shapes result from an equilibrium of homogeneous tension, e.g. in a soap film. Minimal surfaces have a constant mean curvature of zero, i.e. the sum of the principal curvatures at each point is zero. Particularly fascinating are minimal surfaces…
Most of Node’s objects — like HTTP requests, responses, and streams — implement the EventEmitter module so they can provide a way to emit and listen to events. The simplest form of the event-driven…
I’m sort of obsessed about iteration speed. I’ve written about this in the past and it deserves more posts in the future, but the quick summary is that iteration speed is always going to be the strongest competitive advantage in this industry. There’s of course many ways we can iterate faster, but for today let’s focus on two particular aspects of it: testing and deploying more often.
