And here I was excited thinking that they'd finally fixed the terrible performance and interface of the browser app.

But, in this case, GitHub made an effort to get in contact with the repo owner and warn them of their violation of the TOS before taking action. Why do you believe they wouldn't do the same for you?

Oh sure, but that's not the context it was being used here, and there's no indication that this was some sort of automated email that was sent purely because a use of the word was detected. I don't think anyone's out the

Ticketfly is doing a good job. They do charge some fees, but not to the egregious extent of Ticketmaster, and have a much better interface that holds up against traffic. Unfortunately, Ticketmaster has a habit of just buying/merging wi

Blog post with more useful information: http://influxdb.com/blog/2015/06/11/InfluxDB-v0_9_0-released... The lack of an upgrade path from 0.8.x makes me feel pretty stupid for trying out that version. The

Outside of some stability/compatibility issues that I hope are ironed out before release, I've been pretty impressed with Windows 10 preview so far. I only use Windows for games these days, so I can't really speak to it from

I don't think it matters who's first either; I'm just excited that Python's one of the first languages to implement these concepts beyond C#. Only used the term "scripting language" as a way to say "ligh

For context on this, check out PEP 492: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/ It's a really exciting proposal. AFAIK, it'd make Python 3 the first mainstream imperative scripting language to hav

I got into WoW for a couple months just before the launch of the newest expansion, though I fell out of it in favor of a few other games before the expansion came out. Even if you're not into the endgame grind of the modern MMO (turns

asyncio seems to me like it should be the biggest killer app for Python 3 - a universal replacement for the sprawling, confusing, and opposing async options out there for Python 2.x (Twisted, Tornado, gevent...). I'm hoping that aiohtt

It's worth pointing out that Microsoft primarily invented this for HTML5 Windows 8 apps (along with some interesting, if incredibly underbaked, JavaScript view libraries to go along with it). That is why the APIs here might seem like w

No problem, just wanted to point out one of the reasons for the transpiler's relative verbosity :) There's lots of other good test cases here that should be adaptable: https://github.com/esnext/es6-module-tran

One of the reasons this is so relatively simple is that it doesn't appear to handle cycles like es6-module-transpiler does. See the test case here: https://github.com/thomasboyt/es6-cycles-comparison The es6-modul
