There's a 'copyable plaintext' button on hover. All of the data is extractable, but I believe they want you to pay for it if you use it for much more than simple manual work.

Mmph, have done this with XenServer (can just self-built OSS) and just standard RDP clients for the short while I had access to a machine about that powerful. That worked beautifully and gave me (yes, just me :P) a bunch of very practical i

Looking at the GitHub[1] or LinkedIn[2] pages for the repository author on this project is a good reminder-to-self (for me, at least) both that: - time and dedication/enthusiasm can enable some pretty great things in a whole range of d

Scanning over the page and the 'explanation' page, I found a headache developing as I tried to read everything there. My experience so far is that I find this far harder to read. For reference's sake, I don't do paramete

It's a shame this is titled to target Haskell developers - it feels like it would be a good read for most young developers. (though I can see how the endless feature-incorporating (typeclass-based) refactor cycle is particularly releva

Since we only get one life to live, might well be worth getting to try out a few different lifestyles throughout it? After years of night productivity, maybe one wants to try something new? :)

I think by all means use this for a shopping cart - it's namespaced by require (say under 'fast' as in the README) - you are, for all intents and purposes, calling just some library which just happens to reimplement JS builti
