Yeah we paid a lot of money for an enterprise setup of a dropbox competitor called 'box' that is a gigantic PITA to use.

I really don't understand blocking the 2nd half of websites for all users.

Sure, for front-line wage workers who are basically a commodity, you want productivity and to avoid them burning you by getting a virus, etc. but all users???

Looking for some architectural help with Angular. This is the first non-toy thing I've built with Angular (the first time I've needed ngRoute, for instance). I'm building a thing to set up ticketed events and there are various views that will have different aspects of setup (basic details, ticket types, tables etc). My plan is that I'm downloading one big model which represents the whole event and am going to preload the views as well.

Anyway, I'm having that thing where when you're new to something you don't know how it should be structured. Obviously I should have one controller per view, but after that I start getting lost. What's the best way to share a single model between controllers? Do all the controllers have to go in the same script file? Should they all be bundled into one module? etc. Quick description of the structure I should be aiming for would be appreciated.

Paging candybar...

In the mean time - I think one controller to one file is a good convention. They will be part of one module.

Here is what our folder structure looks like:

- apps
- controllers
- directives
- filters
- services

(neat how alpha order = hierarchical order)

In our world 'apps' are full page controllers, and 'controllers' are something like a widget that can appear on any page. All controllers extend our custom module.

The custom module just extends angular.module and adds a couple things:

Code:
var ourModule = angular.module('ourModule', ['our.form', 'ngResource', 'ngSanitize']).run(function(){
  FastClick.attach(document.body);
});

ourModule.config(['$compileProvider', function ($compileProvider) {
  if(typeof ourClientData !== 'undefined')
    $compileProvider.debugInfoEnabled(ourClientData.debugInfoEnabled);
}]);

ourModule.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
  $httpProvider.interceptors.push(['$q', '$rootScope', function ($q, $rootScope) {

... lots more stuff ...
A controller looks like this:

Code:
ourModule.controller('detailsController', [
  '$timeout', '$scope', 'launchPlayerService', '$env', '$location', '$window',
  'minHeightService','playlistService', 'programDownloader','reportingService', 'myPlaylistService', 'overlayActiveService', 'proximityService','signInService', DetailController
]);

function DetailController(
  $timeout, $scope, launchPlayerService, $env, $location, $window,
  minHeightService, playlistService, programDownloader, reportingService, myPlaylistService, overlayActiveService, proximityService,signInService){

  if (!ourClientData.detailsData)
    return;

... lots more stuff ...

for symmetry, i'll give everyone something to lol at me about.

i am trying to backup my iphone to itunes on my mac laptop (rotflol!!), and i can do the backup part all right. but now i want to delete the 2G of text messages from phone to free space. all the tutorials i find googling tell me download some 3rd party software to achieve this. apparently apple provides no way to delete all text messages from your phone? or i'm too inept to figure it out.... i changed the setting to keep them for 30 days only, but that's not freeing the space.

ideally, i'd like to keep the backup of those messages so i have a historical record of them on my computer. but if i need to restore my phone i don't want them readded to the phone. basically, all i want is: 1. get them all off phone permanently 2. put them in some folder in dropbox

What suzzer said is good and also I think you're missing that controllers and views can be nested. If you're creating one big model object that needs to be accessed from multiple places, you can bind that object to an upper-level scope that's common to the views that need to access the object at an upper-level controller.

I'm pretty sure they don't want to give out that market data tool for free.
They probably just analyze their users, with where they visit online in searching, leaving google webpage/services and if you use chrome; they got your soul on file.

If they can link all that to a Facebook profile, they have age and photo for fitting person into whatever category based on looks alone.

I don't know about the text message question but that seems like a good app idea to manage all that.
You may want to run with it if you think you could program it to be a utility app like something like a password manager but text message manager.

Looking to migrate my domain names to one place. Is hover.com still pretty much the gold standard? Money isn't really an issue I just want them to be at the best place possible (least hassle, upselling nonsense etc.).
Are there any ZOMG three letter agency issues with using a US company for domains (I'm thinking worst case my domains could be seized easier and matching me up to my domain names is easier...not that it matters for my hobby projects but I've actually never thought about what power those companies could theoretically hold)

This country needs to ditch social security numbers and use a token identification system built off something comparable to the blockchain fast.

That presentation is a major reason why we need a token identification system with subtokens that can be given to agencies and go by time expiration or can be revoked.

Biggest reason is how easy identity theft can occur nowadays when someone gets your information.

Thanks. I've seen vague dark mutterings that accessing parent scope is a Bad Thing, but I have no idea why that is or if that is accurate.

Yes this will happen about 2150 when we finally switch to metric.

I have a new one for the company culture thing. I did a phone interview with the company and they said they'd contact me shortly for a face-to-face (which is over beers, lol).

The other day, I get this email (slightly altered):

Thank you for your interest in employment opportunities with our company!* We are so thrilled to introduce and share our new website, which we have fully revamped to reflect what we believe are our two biggest perks: our people and our mission.

[mission statement]

Our new site gives you an opportunity to:

-- See how we leverage the best of data science, predictive analytics, and machine learning to help drive our mission **

-- Meet our Founders and Leadership Team who continue to be deeply involved in the work we do

Perhaps the thing we like most about our new website is how it showcases our people. You’ll see photographs [of us working with huge smiles on our faces, along with a bunch of in-house parties and kayaking on the river] (R) <- yes, they did a trademark about their culture / community.

Follow us on social media!


* The use of verbosity and superfluous exclamation points is a common theme here in Austin. In one recruiter's email, every single sentence ended in an exclamation point. (!)

** I didn't apply for any of those items.

The screwy part is that I'd really like to work at this company, only because the job opening is very interesting, I believe I'm fully capable of doing it, and I like what the company is doing. It is just so strange to get emails like this. I think it is more in-your-face here in Austin than other places.
