What? Open source in a cloud service stack means that if the NSA thugs show up and order you to insert intercepts into your software on pain of being "disappeared", it's far EASIER to change the source and recompile than it i

No more than taxing labor income (which the US does disproportionately) If you have a point to make, please try doing it without blatantly lying. It's common knowledge that the US has substantially higher corporate tax rates than

Sociologically: there is a surprisingly large contingent of people who believe that if a company makes a claim, it's the God's honest Truth. The OP may not necessarily fall into this camp. Technically: if the browsers were someho

Lotteries like this are a tax on people bad at math Most of the time, yes. Some lottery games with fixed odds and variable payouts have rare moments when the expected value of a ticket turns positive. I'm fairly good at math and I

That's what I do, and it's easy enough, but that's not the point. Revel is trying to be a comprehensive "ready to go" framework - and as such, it has all these other features fairly well covered, but it's fall

Preface: I absolutely love Revel, and I hope to put something built on it into production very soon. That said, I'd be hesitant to bring up Revel's session as a positive. It shoves everything into a cookie instead of using the

Huh? All browsers on my rMBP upscales images( and css font-size specified in pixels )to match what the dimensions would be if the resolution were that of a standard 72-100dpi monitor. Are there browsers where virtual pixels are not automati

Is there a target milestone for a production-ready release of RethinkDB? Is it 1.8 or 1.9? 1.0 is supposed to mean production-ready. Are you suggesting this should be a 0.7 release?

Yup. All this outrage is fabricated. This isn't country versus country. This is people versus the State, and the people have already lost. The german government is doing what it must to fool the people, yet again, into thinking thei

Well I think part of the problem is that most of Go's target audience come from languages where nil/null are used to be meaningful. They recognize it to be "wrong", but the languages in use (e.g. Java) force them into s
