You aren't doing yourself any favours by making these comments... you seem a little too easily offended that some people disagree with your message.

Scala! You'll have the excellent Play Framework and Spray IO. WebJars, SbtWeb, and its plugins lets you add all sorts of goodness including calling nodejs stuff on your javascripts. And you won't stray too far from the JVM.

This ends up being my thought process. When I'm inevitably rewriting the frontend in a few years, or creating a new one, I imagine the current state of the art is going to be different enough that the decision doesn't really matte

I use self-hosted GitLab. It's very similar to GitHub, but our company has full control and ownership over our code.

You can request to have your school's domain accepted. My school in Canada has a .ca domain and I have the student license.

Yes, it is. It is well known that the battleground in all these areas is over what should be "default" settings because most people can't be bothered.

Having your fingerprint as the key is no different than having a physical key. Which the police can steal and use. It's not in your head, so there is no 5th amendment protection for self-incrimination. I only see it being useful as an

If you're being contacted by an anonymous person you have no idea who they are in the first place. Since you don't know an anonymous person's identity, how are you supposed to fetch and validate their public key?

I'm not sure I really understand what this is about. What exactly does DuckDuckGo want me to hack? Are people writing plugins to improve the search results of a for-profit company's proprietary search engine?

As someone who mostly writes Scala at work, I love it, and definitely recommend you to. The language is not without its faults, but it remains my personal favourite.

In my experience, trying to use KDE is always a waste of a _lot_ more than a few hours. And even once I've got it configured the way you like, it feels like it's barely holding together with duct-tape at the seams. There's al

Why? It provides an lower boundary on the human response time. It's significant because the ideal response already represents _at least a whole car length_ of travel distance. We don't even need to delve into what a realistic resp

Been working with Scala for 1.5 years and loving it. sbt feels easy to work with, compile times have improved (and you can improve it further by modularizing your app). Scala gets a lot right. Type inference makes it feel dynamic while st

Not to mention a hard-wired muscle-memory response system for crisis situations.

I really don't understand how coffeescript is cleaner or easier to understand. To me the syntax is much more confusing and ambiguous and takes more time to understand where things go... or just to hunt down the little comma responsible

It's certainly a more objective measure than what you've offered.

Given the disclosures and discoveries of the last couple years, this isn't tinfoil hat conspiracy material. It's a legitimate concern.

What the heck is the big deal with Ello, anyway? It's just another social network by a private company, and one that isn't even complete.

Firefox? Faster? Tell that to my browser which gets sluggish whenever I have large or complex pages open. Tell that to my browser which slows to a crawl when flash or HTML5 video is loaded. Tell that to my browser which slows every other t
