Given that the email is encrypted, the FRA laws don't really matter though, right? The question is rather if the Swedish authorities can coerce them into handing over their data (including gagging them on even letting people know it ha

I'm a big fan of bacon.js. Is there any way you can abstract over values over time, or asynchronously? This was always my big problem with knockout.

If you want a better alternative to RxJs, also written in Coffescript, check out Bacon.js. https://github.com/raimohanska/bacon.js

Regarding the nosql, RavenDb is awesome in my experience, using it for a passive income project that does ok. It's not prohibitively expensive to license even for me.

I'd say for sure it's one of the best "gateway" desktop linuxes. The only competition here I see are the ones based on Ubuntu, like Mint.

Well, the point he makes is that the same is true for the other statistics. It'd probably be cheaper environmentally for a garbage truck to pick up all your garbage for instance, rather than each person traveling to the recycling cente

You never had to pay for. The news is that you can get it standalone from the .net framework. As for free as in freedom, AFAIK it hasn't been made open source.

Sure, but mathematical language only applies to very specific concepts. You're free to talk about the applied domain (if not pure math) using informal text. Programs need to be interpreted by a computer, and as such need to be written

This is so bizarre. He's not even taking the Machiavellian advice, which would be to actually _not_ take stuff away from your users (assuming he wants happy users, which, I guess, doesn't actually concern him). Instead he's s

Opera 12 vs. 15 comparison on caniuse. http://caniuse.com/#compare=opera+12.1,opera+15 I was surprised to see large parts where the 12/15 feature lists are disjoint, which is exciting, as hopefully the v12 features wil

"Checkout the guide for more examples" ...nope. Looks cool but really early. Any particular reason the Elerea library would be particularly suitable for game development? I'm not familiar with this particular flavor of FRP, b

Kinda weak post, though what he said in point four vibes with me, where he argues for using OO on the lower level with a functional API / abstraction. This is a really underutilized design strategy. Much too often architecture is discu

Sure, but that doesn't guarantee Microsoft's relevance in that space. I still have a feeling that many of MS's cash cow products in many cases could easily be replaced by FOSS, and increased irrelevance on other platforms cou

True, but sensationalizing this type of issues also does harm. What we get here is a description that hints at omgsexism, and some deeper misogynist motives from the authors since that gets your blog more attention. I don't think those

Yeah, a better idea might have been to put up a picture of the team to communicate the same thing. On the other hand, if the intent is to communicate the same thing, should we really be that upset about it? The ad is a bit crass I admit, bu

Benchmarks are not everything. Firefox feels sluggish and less responsibe when scrolling, switching between tabs, on startup and just in general. This might not be the case one every machine, I don't know, but it's been consistent

As Erik Meijer said, there are many ways to be dirty, but only one way to be pure. Haskell allows you to annotate classes of side effects such as "changes state" or "might throw exception", not necessarily the full IO mo
