Actually, I was surprised you were surprised :) I always wear my watch while sleeping, never seen a problem in that. But then I realized in other comments that you were not alone in that. My bet: people who remove their watch for sleeping a

Mootools is not an ancestor of jQuery, it actually was released after jQuery (by a few days). From what I recall, the success of jQuery was not because it allowed to do more things. It was mainly because developers by then considered javasc

Didn't think about the "global freezing" of cards in the same bank - indeed, one more problem. The diversity could indeed be a great point for cryptocurrencies. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but here in

Oh, I see. We've been wondering about that with a friend for a while, without finding the answer anywhere. We assumed it was to allow people to react in case of fraud, being less active on week-end. Thanks for sharing!

Totally, I don't see it either as being as game changing as it's often mentioned. The main reason I'm interested in cryptocurrencies is because I tend to view current banking system for individuals as a problem more than a so

That's the whole challenge for cryptocurrencies :) (although, not really related to the current issues discussed in the article) For the sake of providing hypothesis, I can see one reason for which it could help. I've watched doge

Yep, by altcoin, I mean variants like litecoin, dogecoin, etc (there are already tons of them). Indeed, this will become an exchange problem, especially since it's already difficult to get merchants to allow bitcoin payments. But that&

There is something the article seems not to point out: this looks like a failure if bitcoin is the dominant cryptocurrency, but all those conclusions seem to tend toward a success in a ecosystem of altcoins. If the problem of bitcoin is pur

Why won't people get PH is firstly about curation? This is the point of Ryan in this article, and nobody seems to get it. PH is not made so you can promote your startup, it's made so that product loving people discover new cool st

Hate everywhere, for a change... I don't get why people think PH owes them in any way. Yes, it's all about curation. But yes, anyone could post there, provided they have a good product and they socialize a bit. And this is what th

I get your point, but the same argument could be made to say we should avoid having computers, or at least avoid connecting them to a network :) (any hardware or software company could be sold to bad people who will find clever ways not to

I'm surprised seeing Kik in there. I remember seeing it years ago (like, really long ago), and thought it never took off. Do you have any idea how they managed to acquire a teenager user base?

Oh wow, that's awesome. I'm sold :) Thanks! Edit: btw, you should probably advertise this more on the home page, I'm pretty sure zero downtime is a big no go for many when it comes to docker-compose, especially rails users us

The biggest feature I'm missing in docker-compose is the ability to do zero downtime deployment (spawning a new container for a service while maintaining the old one up until the new one is ready would be enough). Does Kontena allow th

Sounds reasonable :) We too often build restrictions before even being sure we actually need them.

My developer has just shown me this. My first reaction was saying we already have that in our rails project using `rake notes`. As he mentioned, the rake task is very slow, though. It will also ignore a lot of our code which is not rails sp

I have mixed feelings about this article. In one hand, this is a good thing that journalists are investigating leaks. This is a lot of data, and regular citizen can not take the time for analyzing it all. That's quite what we expect fr
