Would be interesting to see a list of software that installs a local server (http or otherwise) and whether or not it typically runs in the background on startup.

Several comments here are along the lines of "I haven't done much monadic error handling but here's why it's bad." That's silly because the benefits of this type of programming can't be grokked until you u

Thought experiment - what if we can either have automated machines of all types or no automated machines at all, and the net gain of having the machines means more lives are saved even though there are a few rogue killer robots that need to

Yes CSS is too damn hard. Too hard to learn? No. Too hard to use? No. Too hard to do elegantly? No. It's too hard because it doesn't need to be nearly as hard as it is. Advanced layout can be done using techniques like pivot, rela

Thanks! Are they all interconnected, so that if I use a service like https://www.medicare.gov/manage-your-health/medicares-blue-b... I will get the collected records from different doctor visits at different hospitals?

How about transparency of medical records - i.e. if I provide some credentials, can I definitively get a copy of my medical history so that I can easily take it with me to another country/hospital? By definitively I mean within some fe

Yeah I agree... especially with stuff like Starling Flash/AS3 was (and I suppose is) an amazing dev environment with robust capabilities. I think one of the reasons "flash devs" get a bad rap is because a huge amount of the p

How about a grid of equal-height items, but intersperse something between each row- can this library do that? For example, consider a bookshelf design where the books are the items and each row has an element underneath it (the element woul

I decided that Rust is the natural next step for my personal side project stuff, which I want to be more on the browser-based gamedev side of things. The learning curve is enormous - since coming from like Unity and Flash, so much is done f

Right - so why can't we have this for the DOM? Much of the power of QML could work wonders for that, for example setting anchor points based on other elements. I think the problem is that in many cases it needs either weird css hacks o

What sorts of things can you do in the Haskell type system that you would not be able to do with the Go generics proposal?

Oh I see... AppEngine is also "pay for what you use" but it seems it's rounded to 15 mins rather than CloudFunctions which is 100ms. Thanks!
