Nice! I didn't know the closure compiler toolkit handles css/html templates too. That explains why googles classnames are mangled.

While I am not aware of any open source framework doing this, as long as the programmer holds itself to a few basic rules, this should be possible. If all html/js/css is generated by a template language, you keep the css classes e

You typically download SSH once, while you download js potentially on every page load. It is also much harder to monkey-patch a native binary than to inject js into a browser tab. Browsers by default trust any of hundreds of CA's, whil

I really like the idea and I expect to see a lot of great tutorials in this format. I would really use a version that works with tmux or iterm though, something like asciinema but for multiple terminals + a browser. I wouldn't even min

I once started writing a podcast app like that. As a listener I would reallly like the idea. Unfortunately I don't see why a podcaster would do the job of adding metadata on my platform if they don't get anything out of it. If it

Exactly. Firewalls like Little Snitch primarily filter traffic primarily based on the binary initiating the connection, and only secondarily based on the target port or address. When little snitch pops up the 10th time in 30 seconds, you wi

I once was on the phone for hours with Time Warner Cable about a $50 security deposit charged twice, that was a mistake on their side. Turns out I was paying someone elses bill! At the end I explained to the supervisor that I will keep call

Same applies for Bitbucket.

Because I have to pay for private repos and teams however small they are (bitbucket private repos are free). Also because I generally tend to prefer the silver (underdog) candidates like Pepsi, the Falcons or Hillary.

It's an Australian company publicly traded, so they must be doing something right. The only thing they suffer from is NIH syndrome. I am a happy user of Bitbucket and a sad user of GitHub, so there is that.

Anyone has a list of what are the typical sources of non-determinism (other than compiler and automake versions)?

This info is actually very useful for me as it confirms my (rational) fear of accumulating expenses. It's way too easy to just spend $10-$50 here and there and before you know it you are spending $1000 a month, while the core service i

If someone answered with "I'd google it", I would say "go ahead". I don't mind if someone doesn't know or remember something. That is a random signal. I want to know however if a person is mentally lazy an

Sidenote: We always say the hardest things in software is cache invalidation and naming things, but I also found the problem to be dependency tracking and reproducibility. It's just so hard to get started with ANY non trivial software

Basically. It's a little different because you have more control. It's way too easy to assume exceptions won't happen and basically ignore them. But they happen in unexpected places (e.g. every time when dealing with IO). Exc

It's pretty normal and you will get used to it quickly. Thanks to this pattern it's very hard to ignore errors. The only think that could be done better is instead of always blindly returning an error, one could wrap them in highe

Scala not having a single well defined networking library and having to revert to using Java is exactly why I prefer Go for networking. Gotta call a http endpoint in Go? https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/

Does it have to be one or the other? They are suitable for different things. You will find it hard to write an enterprise level application with complex domain logic in Go. Go is low level. Scalas type system on the other hand is very well
