I'm not sure what the definition of a tax haven is, but here's a page from the jersey govt. I don't study this, but it seems like it is a light/very light tax regime? http://www.gov.je/LifeEvents/Mov

In 2013, does it make sense to put each user in a docker/lxc container? I don't know the resource overhead, but I'd hope/expect that it would be within tolerances. Then you can have rich features like includes without wo

I think this is pretty the same thing as storing a secure cookie? Except the 'cookie' is the private key on the phone, so it's tied to the phone not to a particular browser. Other than that, I don't see a difference be

Thanks. I misunderstood the original comment to refer to golang code. The edited comment is clearer.

Thanks. I misunderstood your (original, unedited) comment to refer to a golang goro (go func()), not clojure go macro. Yes - this seems to be a key difference of golang's approach. The runtime+scheduler conspire to make a blocking goro

Interesting, thanks. Note however that the ZX spectrum also did tokenized input. Each key corresponded to a different basic token: http://fms.komkon.org/Speccy/SpeccyKeys.gif . In the context of lexing and parsing, I wa

Are there many (computer) languages which don't use a text file (in some encoding or other) as their 'normal' representation? If the compiler interpreter wants a tokenized input, perhaps we could/should save in that form

OK, thanks for the detail. I've suffered from having designed bad/limited APIs before and watching as people dig into bits I didn't want them to dig into, limiting what I can do in the future. Not sure on the best way to avoi

I'm not an fb developer and don't know the platform, but was that documented as the format? i.e. were you expected/allowed to destructure an id in that way or was it intended to be opaque?

I like slicing and dicing with awk, grep and friends too. One thing I find odd that you have to drop to a full language (awk, perl etc) to sum a column of numbers. Am I missing a utility? echo "1\n2\n3\n" | sum # should print
