I've found a movie that caught my attention, but I couldn't find any link to the imdb page - I wanted to read more about it, so I decided to select the title c/p and Google it - but what do you know, you can't select text.

Please fix this.

I'm curious, on the technical side, what stack/technologies have you used? Also, did you scaffold the typical crud endpoints or manually wrote them, for each resource?

I'm trying to gain experience in building APIs and yours seems like a good model for doing so :)

I don't understand why people that say it's not useful or not interesting get downvoted, but the ones that say the opposite, don't. What's the logic in this?

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought at first, too. But I guess it's just an example on a simple game to show how you'd do more complex applications with Angular.

What a crap article. Just because this guy can't focus on his work, doesn't mean multiple monitors are bad.

When I work, I don't like getting distracted. And I certainly don't fill my other screens with Twitter and whatever the author is implying, unless it's work related. End of discussion.

Right, as if I'm going to pay $49 just to use your fancy icons which I can substitute with something similar for FREE, like fontawesome.

Seriously, who thought this crap out?

It is very frustrating when loading up a website and seeing a mostly blank page because the fonts are still downloading.

Yes, annoying, can confirm. So I load the page, and all I see are text decorations like underlines, but no text. I have to wait like 1.5-3 seconds, depending on the connection. I mean, seriously, come on!

I know, right? Atleast he wrote a notice:

Sorry guys, I can't handle the pressure. Just kidding. Server will be back in a few hours (about 8 hours or so).

I was very motivated when I got into the university. I was hoping we'd learn compilers, functional programming, low-level stuff, I was eager to learn everything. (..) but we didn't get to start actual programming until maybe third year (..) Most students didn't care either because they were there “to get the diploma”.

Are you living in Romania, by chance? Because the situation looks EXACTLY the same here.

I got into college hoping I would get some guidance learning something I find very interesting, but instead I get a big fucking joke.

Of course I tried to learn by self-teaching, but it was hard and I didn't even cover what a decent university would cover. And, like you said, the rest of the people are there just to get the diploma.

When I talked with a friend in Austria about how things are done here, he was shocked. You can't even call it an education. More like a big waste of time.

Right now I'm stuck in third and last year, with a dozen failed exams on subjects that god knows who placed them in the curriculum. I wanted to drop out in the first year, after seeing the horrors for myself, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Sucks so hard seeing all those years passing by and barely even learning anything from what I was eager to learn.
