They each have meaningful competition. I'm not sure what your definition of "monopoly" is if it includes companies like those.

This is my worry. Can the 1.2GHz version run IntelliJ and SBT comfortably "for the most part" (I don't really mind if a clean compile takes ~30% longer) or will I wish I'd bought the 13" i7 MBA? I wish I knew how to

Ditto all this. I haven't read the Medium post, but just looking at the website: I have no idea what it is or what it does for me, and I'm being asked to sign-up first thing. Further reading still doesn't answer any questions

Piggy-backing on that: "Troubleshooting" might as well just be called deductive reasoning IME. If you approach an issue by verifying your assumptions and disregarding what you can prove isn't broken, the actual culprit tends

The Neophyte's Guide to Scala is the best language intro I've read. No other platform I'm aware of has anything like Typesafe Activator, which is an awesome learning/tutorial resource. There's also Scala Koans out t

Ditto. Too fast. For me this isn't an exemplar of effective communication. It's a complete failure to deliver whatever that animation was trying to communicate because I only got 1 second each to absorb the text and the slide. May

This reads like you're just point-scoring at this point. If the site worked on the Tube before, and now it doesn't, that's a pretty massive failing.

The copy needs a fair bit of work. It needs to be more brief. The sentence fragments are difficult to read. It only works if I imagine two voices, like one of those commercials employing a fake conversation.

JSON is still rendered. It's not "render or send JSON", it's "render a string that contains formatted display output A, or a string that contains structured data B". Facebook probably requires a lot of per-user

I should have mentioned the assumption you'd be caching the render on the server. My bad. So I imagined it as 1 render vs potentially thousands. Another thing to note: You'd (probably) have to try real hard to find a server side t

I never noticed that. (I switched to Macs around 8 years ago.) Huh. In that case I guess I have to wonder what the point is? Why store three hashes as opposed to just upper-casing the plain-text before hashing? You end up storing fewer vari

All three of them? The Hash for the password as-typed, another for as-typed.invert(). What's the third? I feel like I'm missing something obvious. :-/

What honest person interprets "response" as anything but "attack"? Seriously? I didn't mean to imply that there'd be a body count attached to the "response" BTW. That's (hopefully) far-fetched. B

The US shouldn't attempt to convince their citizens of anything before attacking another country? I mean, Obama has straight up said that he plans to attack NK. At least to me that seems a very reasonable interpretation of the fuzzy po

Thanks. Missed it in the for-comprehension just before the yield.

Was it the whole island or just the building along the Seawall? It doesn't appear to be 10' above sea-level in many places, but I could just be a bad judge of height. They did rebuild and continue to build new on pylon foundations

I'm definitely interested in playing with React. My Angular experience was pretty painful. If I can summarize your point: Data-binding can simplify complex pages. That can be true. I do think most page interactions for most websites do

JSON is just banging strings together on the server side. Rendering HTML on the server side is just banging (somewhat bigger) strings together. JSON has lighter-weight transfer than HTML, but after compression the real-world impact is proba

Tipping incentivizes a waiter to over-promise (sure I can take care of both of these sections!) and sometimes results in under-delivering. They intend, and try to give good service 99% of the time I think. So for me at least, that's wh

Nobody, but that's not a problem with namespaces. Just a problem that they didn't specify a default. Treat them like namespaces aka packages aka modules in programming languages and I don't see a downside. Import what you nee

I don't need an IDE to write Scala (or Java I'm sure), but I certainly feel more productive not having to bother with memorizing package structures. Working outside of Rails, I've found there's actually a fair amount o

What's wrong with namespaces in your opinion?
