If "here" means the US, then yeah. WhatsApp is replacing SMS with I guess pretty much the rest of the world. WhatsApp is also not associated with the titillating "share nude pics" culture of SnapChat.

It is quite well known that WhatsApp uses Erlang. I bet it must been discussed here already.

WhatsApp are primarily used outside the US - this probably accounts from the lack of 'flairs' and vanity coverage on them.

The biggest question is off course when they will finally migrate from their Erlang backend to JavaScript.

I am sorry for your loss. My friend committed suicide in a very public way almost three years ago. She was at that the time just completed her master degree, got a high paying job, recently married and fund-raised thousands of dollars for c

True this. I live in Cairo at this moment. It's similar here. I visited Kiev three years ago. It is a beautiful city.

Greetings from Cairo. I will you all good luck in Ukraine, especially in Maidan Sq.

It's just data for ractive.js to display on the DOM. There's no assumption on whether this is a Model, a View Model or whatever pattern you adopt for your app.

by dodyg 13y ago
The thing is it's better set things manually so the boundary between your DOM data and other parts of the application become clear. There's no chance of mistaking this.set('keypath', data) with something else.

+1 Damn right. I love Ractive.js. I could train my developers by pointing them to the interactive tutorial and they can pick it up in two hours or so. There's very few concepts to learn. We use it with jQuery, PubSub and TypeScript.

You can start with the latest build. It is that good. There is no need to wait for the 1.0 version.

Kotlin has changed so much that you can't really rely on that 2012 road map.

This is my worst nightmare - I have had my company for 10 years and we've come close to this position twice, first in 2008 during the global economic collapse and second in 2011 when the country I am in had a revolution. I can still re

Faster iteration isn't necessarily better actually especially if people don't care forward compatibility. Maybe it's just different culture. For example bootstrap 3 is a breaking upgrade and suddenly your just finished bootst

Thanks for open sourcing this. It looks like a useful web application.

Indeed. Being happily married is one hell of a productivity booster. There's no need to waste time to get lucky or handle the frequent dramas in trying to figure out someone new.

|Unlike the PS4, there is absolutely no available functionality for the system until that update is performed. Seriously?

Well that's just fine. He's a President, not the most wanted terrorist in the world. Are they tapping the phones of his children/relatives as well?

I am Indonesian. Look, we know other governments are spying on our President. This comes with the job - however, tapping the personal phone of the First Lady is pretty much beyond the pale. She's not an elected official. This is done i

This is a wrong way to see things. These millions of code runs the world - it works. We don't rip off the majestic buildings of Manhattans because they are more than 50 years old. We preserve the buildings that survive the test of tim
