I watched a talk posted here a while back that also explains how Ring middleware works pretty well, and I'd recommend some of the other parts of the talk to Clojure web developers as well: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2971919

Wouldn't it be possible to just write a front end for the iPad, and run a LaTeX service in the cloud? I think this would be by far the easiest way to do it, and I don't think it's really optimal to do all the LaTeX stuff client-side on limi

Sure. My understanding is that you can't include GPL'd code in a project that is not itself licensed under the GPL. This may be an oversimplification, since you could potentially use the tools without actually including them in a project, b

I noticed this is licensed as GPLv3 as opposed to a BSD license for SciPy. Isn't this going to be a huge barrier to adoption, or am I missing something?

The content of the pledge seems to indicate that there are a lot of (or at least some) cases where large companies are suing very small companies (< 25 people) over patent infringement. Is this the case? I've only heard about the patent

Missing part of the title: "...But We’re Taking It to the Next Level" And there's no "totally" in the original title. This editorializing seems to imply that there's something wrong with competing with an existing business and trying to bea

Not sure why you got down-voted for this, maybe you touched a nerve. I up-voted you for having a realistic perspective. Obviously (good) programmers are some of the most valuable employees around--but what about sales, support, etc? One can

Haven't used Eclipse for a while, but I'm pretty sure the amount of time you wait for the pop-up is a setting. Set it to zero and it's instantaneous on most modern hardware.

Yes, I think this is exactly right. The key can be in some sort of 'escrow' where it is not accessible to DropBox employees, but accessible to the government upon subpoena.

Why should Apple agree to distribute (presumably positive) content about their primary competitor? I can't find anything wrong with this decision.
