Yes, it needs to be provided and enabled on all mobile devices by default. It might increase the health of entire populations.

Agreed; these animations are actually excellent and can be very useful in cases like those you described.

Optimistic updating needs a serious amount of code and robust error handling on the client and is therefore non-trivial. This approach seems aimed to reduce the amount of work while being relatively fast.

The language doesn't matter if it's portable. One giant benefit of a single tool is in projects using multiple languages. Using multiple similar tools side by side is a pain. Even for a simple web app with JS it's already nec

The bitcoin protocol may have intrinsic value, but that does not transfer to individual bitcoins.

Would it be possible to create a solid, language independent package manager so that it's not necessary to create a new one for each language/community? I'd love to see Pip, Bundler/Rubygems, NPM, Cabal, Maven, etc. repl

Intrinsic value (in the context of finance) usually refers to the value of something when not used as investment or money. Gold has intrinsic value because you can use it for jewellery and electronics. A bitcoin has no intrinsic value becau

Thanks for the response. Communication of the status of the releases was very clear, so we were aware that not everything is 100% production ready. At least it's good to know for sure that we have to plan for downtime when upgrading, a

Is there any way to upgrade clusters without downtime? It seems the import/export requires a shutdown, and nodes running different versions cannot join the same cluster, correct?

You're correct, some people that have been approaching us had several thousands of images to compress monthly from their web shop or CMS system. We're offering the free plan for people (perhaps like you) that just want to convert

Have to agree with that. A very ugly workaround is something like: r.branch(r.table("users").getAll(email, {index: "email"}).isEmpty(), r.table("users").insert(user), {})

Yes, pngquant is awesome. TinyPNG uses it internally and combines it with other, lossless optimizations. We built TinyPNG for ease of use (no configuration, no settings to mess around with) and to reach a wider audience. Definitely use the

I'm one of the creators and I can tell you we don't know either. We're a web development agency and this is a side project that got more popular than we imagined. After we launched we got a massive amount of requests for lice

TinyPNG combines lossy and lossless compression algorithms. Optipng and pngcrush are lossless only. The difference in file size can be huge.

The rem unit is awesome! All the benefits of em (relative to browser text zoom level) combined with the benefits of px (does not change depending on parent element font size). If you don't need to support IE8 you should start using rem

Some rendering screenshots would help. I'm viewing this on my iPad and the only difference I see is bad kerning in the examples on the right.

Better yet, use passwords plus client side certificates. It prevents these scenarios without requiring you to trust a third party with your two-factor authentication tokens.

Flux is fantastic. I just wish it were built into iOS too, so I can have something similar on my iPad/iPhone without jailbreaking.

The first logo is not a dodecahedron; the geometry is wrong. In reality it would be impossible to see all the three faces drawn at the edge of the logo from the same perspective. Perhaps people subtly pick up on this geometric imprecision a
