   I would say that lines of code is not a useful metric. From a developer standpoint, what I care about is how much "surface" a library adds, and in how many places. The React API is relatively small, easy to understand, and confine

   I've been using Fluxxor http://fluxxor.com/ for a relatively large application. Has been working well! When I started the project the flux concept was still very, very new and there were not many implementations. It to

   I would say it was the point, but not for the shady reason you think. Rather, it ensures that people applying know what they are getting into immediately. Quite a good pre-filter.

   I agree. We may not even be seeing the Rift CV1 until much later this year. Who knows what the experience on that will be like - DK2 is close but not quite there.

    It works so well in Elite Dangerous that many, many players are buying the DK2 and don't play a minute without it

    The targeted servers are directory servers, which are not what the user runs. AFAIK there is nothing that can be done short of supporting TOR through donations, so they can focus on whatever needs to be done.

    What ability does TOR have to operate in a decentralized manner without the directory servers? Is that something that is possible now, or is it being worked on, or is it even possible? edit: this question was asked in the blog comments, her

    Deployment in a controlled environment is not the ideal use case here - the benefits come from when you are shipping to non-technical users.

    One thing I have not seen - what are the plans post-landing? Has there been any information on how they plan on securing the landed booster?

    I use I3 and highly recommend it. I used to use Awesome - i3 has felt much easier to work with and configure. The docs are pretty good. I can't go back to a non-tiling manager now!

    What I don't like with these shots is that they show an unrealistic picture of what the milky way would look like - the human eye can't detect colour like that. They are beautiful shots but if your intention is to show what it&#x2

    One thing I learned while getting into astronomy is that full dark adaptation can take up to 25 minutes. Some will use an eye patch to keep their observing eye dark adapted (this may also be the reason that we associate pirates with an eye

    I think you'll find that it hard to argue that the efforts of exploration are linked to our industrial pillage of the planet.
