That's great ! Definitely a argument in favor of Perl. Being more used to NPM (for Javascript) and knowing that you can (or at least you could) unpublish a package, I'm glad to see that with Rust, I won't have to worry about

That's amazing. Google has taken over the web with ads. And now that everybody hates ads, it's suggesting you remove those ads with another Google product. It doesn't get any smarter than that. (this is not sarcasm, I actuall

Here is the most important part to me: "Take care when publishing a crate, because a publish is permanent. The version can never be overwritten, and the code cannot be deleted. There is no limit to the number of versions which can be p

The experience for me is the same because all products I use regularly have good mobile apps and/or mobile webapps.

Looks cool! Clean design and simple drag / drop workflow. For non technical people, definitely worth a try! First missing thing for me would be responsive images though. I can add an image, but unless it has the perfect size for the sc

Same here. I used to have Google Mail, Google Contacts, YouTube, Google Search, Google News, etc. I was feeling more and more dependent on one company's goodwill. A few months ago, I renewed my Fastmail [1] account for 3 more years, be

A lot of what you say is purely subjective. I would consider C++ to be way more verbose than Javascript. Especially with ES6 coming (and things like Flow / Typescript allowing you to use ES6 today). Weird scoping? What are you talkin

Author here. I recently was looking for a good WIFI spot to get some work done outside my place (where I tend to be less productive). I called out a coffee place and was told "Sure, we have WIFI". It turns out every page load took

Yes, they did. But as I said, they didn't given much detail. But they did say that only a few emails were disclosed. If you call that "serious", then OK, but it could be much worse. The competitor is just profiting from somet

@defied is basing his promotion of his/her product on an email from a hacker. BrowserStack hasn't yet explained what happened exactly. That means that he/she believes the email from the attacker? This is just wrong. He/s

That's pretty crazy, though with the hack publicly disclosed, it was bound to be exploited. What I don't understand is why this report incident comes so late. The hack has been public for a large amount of time. Could anyone expla

They have, apparently. Check it out: https://cdn.polyfill.io/v1/polyfill.js?features=Array.protot... Docs about this can be found here: https://cdn.polyfill.io/v1/docs/api

It looks like Mozilla is testing for virtually any web browser that is in use. That seems OK. And, you can choose to do feature detection if you wish. Here's a quick example: https://cdn.polyfill.io/v1/polyfill.js?

AGPL means that if you modify VirtKick itself, you have to contribute these modifications back to the project. GPL does not enforce this for software run on a back end.

For me, that page is lagging like crazy (although other tabs work fine). Also, this is another good example of a headline that doesn't state anything about what the product actually does. Going further down the page does make it more c

That looks neat in a video. But as the person that receives the email, I would not feel valued at all by the thought that Joe doesn't even take the time to reply but instead lets a robot reply for him. If you don't want to take th

You say "everybody trying to make this into a tech fight", but the truth is that you are the one opposing communities based on important but not essential metrics. Some like Angular, some like React, some like Ember. Companies are

They should, but they don't. That's the problem. Every time I get a crappy text version of an email, I try to contact the company (via email or Twitter) to get them to care about text emails. Usually, I've received encouragin

That's "just" a website? You are kidding, right? Facebook is way more than "just" a website: - the only platform that has managed to make people share this much content - a way for businesses to advertise and thus m

What's in it for developers who give their time to people not willing to pay? As I understand, this platform is just a chat between people, no mention of payments at all. Sure, it's nice to give time, but giving time privately for

Yet another centralized initiative? Every new initiative is good if it brings new ideas. But sadly, most new social networks we see try to convince people that Facebook is bad (ads, privacy concerns, etc) instead of convincing them that the

This sounds like a joke to me. 1- "Hosting for Node.js apps done right": Like everything else is done wrong? That's just weird. 2- What does "designed for cloud" mean? 3- "Free support"? How gullible do yo

A developer social network? Coderwall or even Github to some extent. A designer social network? Dribble. A photographers social network? 500px. The problem with social networks is that there are thousands. For every possible thing. And some

Another idea would be to auto select the link when you click it. This means you could have a "workflow" similar to: click, cmd/ctrl + c, done

IMO, what would be cool would be an open API where you don't need any kind of developer key to create a short link. Isn't Bitly free too?
