Very interesting. Can you speak more about your architecture?

This is very cool! Maybe 2 feature requests, if you're taking them: - Have some popularity measure (github stars or otherwise) either in your list or hosted somewhere - Have screenshot previews of anything, hosted somewhere (would be a

Why does it need less code than React?

If competing with flat files, and assuming you don't need concurrency, I don't think it's better than just using one or more json or csv files. Those are much easier to manipulate and manage (same benefits in terms of admin a

Probably, but that's not saying much. Anything a player does could in theory damage their reputation (e.g. something ridiculous like saying you like AMD over Nvidia can damage Blizzard's reputation with Nvidia fans). I think the f

Besides Spark, is there still a niche that Scala fills? Why wouldn’t you just use Kotlin or Java 11? I guess I should ask the inverse question too: why wouldn’t you just use Scala for everything?

This is great advice. It's akin to my manager asking me to write pieces of my own promo packet throughout the year. It'll also be a great time saver during review season.

Looks really nice. For operational-types things, I do wonder if curses UI's are better than web UI's.

Those seem like pretty big downsides to me, and I don't believe the new terminal marketing gimmick. I will admit Windows has been very attractive lately for gaming reasons, but from a development standpoint, MacOS still seems way ahead

The Ryzen 7 3700X looks like it hits a sweet spot. 65W TDP, $330, almost as fast as a 9900k. Was originally planning to go for the Ryzen 5, but with these specs it seems silly not to go for the 3700X.

How does news like this even get out of the country with the information controls in place?

Every time I unplug an external USB prematurely, the next time I plug it into my mac, it does a full filesystem check of it which takes a few mins.

That’s a really long read. Can anyone summarize?

Isn't that completely logical. If you build something that makes it so that you don't need 20 people making 50k/yr doing it anymore, you're saving 1m/yr which is very lucrative for anyone.

Fuck, I use Wunderlist and love it. Guess I'm moving away from anything Microsoft buys from now on.

Thanks for the reference to Caddy! Looks like a pretty neat project. I'm also bummed by nginx's lack of end-to-end HTTP/2 support.

Interesting. Then, why isn't the bytecode always stored with the caller, that way you can have return-type dispatch?

I learned this lesson years ago when I was 12 and selling some software online. Paypal for no reason froze my account which still had 300$ in it (which is a ton of money at that age!). All appeal attempts failed, and they just didn't g

As much as we'd like to blame this on Trump. This is just border officers being dicks, and they pretty much always have been.

What's wrong with the code? It's just HTML. Do you expect some NodeJS responsive React Web 3.0 app for this? I think the format, layout and code for the website is entirely appropriate for this.

FSF is an ideal. The ideal that all software is open source so that it's more secure and has all the other benefits of open source. What you're doing is being childish. "Boo hoo, big bad Google killed a product I liked, so I'm going to make

That doesn't mean we should settle for that. I don't see why we can't have our cake and eat it too. You need a mix of strict procedures, but also lawless vigilantes. Only having strict procedures leads corruption/loopholes which leads to lo

Some procedures also end up safeguarding the not-so-innocent.

Uh.. you gonna back that up with some proof or reasoning? Or are you just trying to spread FUD? What's your gripe with data mining anyway, and you can always use OTR.

> So what? They couldn't make up excuses? ?? If there's practical reasons, then you need to explain why the practical reasons are not strong enough to warrant this? Just look at what was accomplished by this, they were able to delete ov

Wow, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. Pretty sure it's a troll post trying to make frontpage with sensationalist bullshit. For example, he claims it's a political move, yet the official FAQ lists many practical reasons for

If you're going to badmouth this decision, then please at least read the articles and address the reasons they mentioned. It's pretty stupid and pointless to make irrelevant generalist statements.

Hmm.. not exactly true. I had the old version of Facebook before "likes" we're around, and we had an "Interests" section instead. All of those magically got converted to "likes" somehow, so yes they did "like" things on my behalf. I had t

I don't get anything, but sometimes I'd like to show support to some particular effort/product that I think is worth my time. Also, I think it used to be an "interests" section in Facebook, and all of those interests somehow got systematica

The question is: can I opt out of this, or am I obliged to deal with this as long as I'm a Facebook user. I personally find this is pretty bad. I don't want my friends seeing my past likes from several years ago and seeing me endorse someth
