@rob walch – see also the Differ page on the wiki – http://techzingwiki.com/doku.php?id=differ

The differ NPM module is meant to calculate a diff between two Javascript objects and apply them. It sounds like you need something that’s more of a classic string differ library. Anyway, in case you’re interested, here’s a link to the differ module that Guyon and I created:

https://github.com/uber/differ

I’m in a situation where I’m thinking of creating a Chrome Plugin that would monitor a page for a RegEx match, and then notify the user (Chrome/Mac Notification) of a match.

What I just thought might be more useful is a plugin that would trigger a notification on any diff and then highlight the changes. It would just have to reload the page on some interval and check for changes, or a RegEx match…

Anyone know of something out there or want to bid on this project? 😉

I think we’re currently on episode 8 of House of Cards. I hope we don’t stall out as well. 😉

regarding burnout, a quote from B.S.G. is apropos (at least for me):
“All of this has happened before, and will happen again.”
🙂

I’m kind of stalled out on House of Cards with 3 or 4 to go. I guess it’s a little to slow for my taste. I’ll finish it out though….I think I see where the story is going.

I built the skeleton Mecruit site with a candidate sign-up form and some basic copy on how the service will work. If Lola, the founder, can hustle up enough candidate profiles to demonstrate viability from that side of the market, then I’ll go ahead and build out the rest of the site. Lean startup style! But you’re right, I probably should attempt to promote Mecruit to the TZ audience to help jumpstart it. For anyone who’s interested, here’s the candidate profile form:

One thing about the effort by Jason to do up the show notes etc, how about just jot down a few words and let the listeners help fill inthe blanks? The wiki is perfect for this and it seems to work ok for TWiT network.

I’m sure there’ll be situations where people will ask for the exact links to specific things that Jason/Justin are talking about, but maybe they can just be slotted in later.

Would make it less onerous on you both.

Just an idea.

Cheers

@justin – ok, you were right about whether Jason would bring it up on the podcast if you left him waiting outside the gate, and you even won the game on HackerNews of picking how long he’d wait. (kidding) But seriously, have you ever considered Digedu for participation in Jason Calacanis’ education tech related conference? It may be too late for the upcoming event, but I think it’s a recurring edtech conference.

LAUNCH Education & Kids
June 26, & 27 at Microsoft’s campus in Mountain View
20 awesome edtech startups + educators, investors, developers
More info at launchedu.co
Sold out! Join the waitlist.

@TechzingAudience – man, oh man, the date of the recording for this episode juuuuuust missed all of the news, rumors, disclosures, leaks, denials, and government statements related to data collection and privacy. Hopefully, we’ll still get to hear Jason & Justin’s thoughts on the matter in the next episode.

CHEERS!

That’s a good idea about getting someone on to talk about the trading stuff. I just need to figure out who would make for a good guest.

I’ll be sure to mention you in my blog post: “Why I quit web startups to do M-trading.” 🙂

Also I added a series of basic topics under regular segments such as:
– cognitive biases
– logical fallacies
Since they come up regularly, I included the links from previous episodes too – as this is something I definitely need to do more reading on.

Had a good series of flashbacks and LOLZ during the discussion on COM interfaces, CORBA IDL, and just in general packaging components such as Ruby gems, Node modules, or .NET nugets. 🙂

@Jason, how about interviewing the person who wanted to hire you to do work on a trading platform? It sounds like the story would be fascinating. And this might entice the person to do a series of blog posts after that.

Mecruit’s founder found a developer to build its website? or she’s waiting for more developers to show interest? maybe using your network and podcast’s network you can find developers who’ll be interested.
