   A URL in with "ass" in the domain will almost certainly be blacklisted on a school network. When I was at school there was an online amazon like site for electronics called "egghead.co.uk" which was blocked for having &q

   It would also really help if you were verbose in the naming of your methods as to weather they were async or not. At first I didn't realise db.remove() was async (sorry perhaps that's my fault). Also on your timing diagrams it may

   This article has a lot of ambiguity which I think adds to the confusion. For example I was looking at that question(3) thinking, does doSomethingElse() return a function, another promise, nothing? Part of the problem of having a very forgiv

   Wouldn't it get blocked for having "ass" in the name? Slightly ironic choise of name IMO.

   I guess it's a slight reassurance, for example if I want to send a password to someone I trust, I could do it with whisper knowing if someone picks up their phone in a weeks time it will be gone.

    I would agree with VCS, preferably distributed and centralised. It does mention GitHub and Kiln (Mercurial) "Work on a small piece of a large system (codebase), read and understand existing code, track down documentation, and debug thi

    Unless your users are happy to view UTC you will have to deal with it when you display it to them.

    I think a more considered way to say that is it's a UX challange. You have to think about what the user want's to enter and what they want to see. It's especially hard if they are doing something like booking a flight, or car

    I'm not sure I understand the point of saving the offset: "To avoid ambigiuty we also save a third piece of data: the UTC offset. Note that the UTC offset is only there for the rare cases when the timezone does not change, but whe

    I find most people doen't understand the difference between timezone and time offset. I reciently had a huge issue trying to explain to people why we couldn't (easily) show the offset next to the city on a date time input, because
