What's the Couch ecosystem look like these days? I poked around with CouchDB over the Christmas holiday but it seemed kinda dead. Is Couchbase still going strong?

> Clyde has better experience of actually developing programs. Agreed. In this specific case Alice was in the right, but there are only so many problems that can be solved by installing Wordpress.

(not eric, but had the same thought) Everything just feels way oversized, in a Fisher-Price kind of way. The font, the colors and "chunky"-ness of the UI. The full-width content-area doesn't help either. The whole page gets r

Yep, a lot of businesses got burned very badly with Final Cut Pro X, and to a lesser extent Logic X.

I desperately hope this is humour, and if so then well done, you had me going there :)

> Hopefully, a quantum computer in the future would have low-bandwidth write access to my brain in the past. Quantum mechanics. Wait, what? I'm pretty sure that's not how computers (quantum or not) work.

You'd think so, but no. I actually uncovered a bug in a JWT library once when I wrote a test for my application to verify that an invalid token would be rejected. Let's just say there was no corresponding test in the libraries tes

This, along with the topic link, give me the impression that the Internet of Things can't possibly work, not in the medium/long run. Not without a huge shift in how manufacturers and developers think about security and maintenance

Data is forever. If you've got a working model (and system) for Users, Widgets, Gizmos and Sprockets, then there's little reason to change. New client devices come and go though, and users expectations of a good interaction experi

Same. Welding the frontend to the backend is a definite no-go for me, regardless of the supposed benefits of this isomorphism.

One thing I missed while evaluating OneNote (and coming from Evernote) was reminders/alarms on notes. I searched around for a solution, but it seems the only way to do it is by using Outlook, which I'm frankly never going to do.

See also the promise of greater powers for Scotland before the 2014 Independance Referendum, a promise which was later reneged on. Westminster still very much holds the leash, and reserve the right to yank it at their leisure.

Certainly, that alone would be a move in the right direction. > London as a separate federal part Not the first time I've heard the suggestion of ejecting London from the Union :)

Interesting. My group of friends seem to routinely come back to the topic of the UK becoming a federation of city-states. Seems we're not the only ones thinking that way.

Was just about to ask the same. I have enjoyed their longform 'legitimate' journalism, but want to not lay eyes on all the click-bait toxic sludge they publish.

It seems like Heroku's business model is to make it easy for startups to build on their platform and then bleed them dry of all their investment money.

Why? Do you have any evidence to back up this claim? On the contrary, it seems both the Xbox One and PS4 are doing a roaring trade, with gaming overtaking Hollywood in terms of market size and revenue
