Wow, is this an EB-MVP (Extra Bare MVP) or what?!?

This is something that came to mind while reading the comments: Why should me, the owner/developer of some service, care if somehow your password is stolen/guessed by any mean?

I'm not saying we shouldn't take care of our users, but how's our fault that their email is hacked? We can't do anything to protect against this and placing more complex policies would hurt users who have enough common sense to this properly and expecting the same from us.

P.S. I'm in no way saying to to ditch all security procedures we can, but to one point security is about trust, and if you can't trust your users to keep their freaking passwords and email accounts secured, then hell with them. Put it in plain text in your TOS and be done with it.

Sorry, but what was that all about? All I could see was some Ruby stuff I don't care at all and nothing on PostgreSQL. Title misleading at least.

The alert call is what makes that one easy.

Air-to-air combat on today's conditions aren't close combat at all (as Hollywood might want you to believe). Most pilots won't even see their target being taken down by a missile with a 30kms range. By the time a dogfight takes place, most of the aircrafts have been taken down by missiles.

In the case of JavaScript, at the beggining it didn't just "came" with all browsers since it was first implemented by Netscape. Why MS included it in IE is far from my knowledge/interest into the history of JavaScript/MSIE. I guess that once your language is in 90% (Netscape + MSIE) of all platforms, then yes, all (Chrome, Safari, etc) had to follow along.

I wouldn't include JavaScript on the list of PL that are popular because of a huge corporation behind it but more on "this is what we've got, suck it or die".

Wooosh! Time to re-read your "HTML for Dummies book"

Yeah, also 8am on January 1st is a good day to feel alone on Earth.

Really?

[/me searching job postings for Node.js]

NOT!!!

But hey, the more developers jump ships to Node the more money I make. Look at the Cobol guys and their salaries.

"Getting shit done over attending meetings"

And yet I've seen "agile" teams waste more time in "agile" meetings than in anything else... except for PingPong.

Exactly. And don't get me started on all the buzz-following-I-never-wrote-two-lines-of-code hipsters at this events.

Oh! And also, Lego. I'm a grown man, come on!

Yeah, it's a personal opinion, but Angular is weird, and ExtJS was easier to get a hold off five years ago, so go figure.

I've been creating the same webapp (a simple bug tracking system) over and over again in different frameworks to learn the stuff I care the most:

-Localization (amazing how many web frameworks suck at this, specially, client-side frameworks)

-Learning curve

-Authentication / Authorization

-CRUD, REST, TDD, LoC

-Template language

-Fragments/Tiles/Panels support

-Deployment (i.e. grails WARs are amazingly big)

Over time I've made this webapp in Grails, Play, CakePHP, RoR, Django, Flask, Wicket, SpringMVC, Struts1-2, Hibernate, jOOQ, Angular (ugh!), ExtJS, Express and Meteor.

What I like about this is that I don't have to think about how the product will work, no design, and I can reuse most of the HTML structure (header, footer, menu, etc) and I can compare and reach a conclusion about the framework pretty fast. If I can't make the freaking thing work after two days, the framework sucks or I'm simply too stupid to use it.

I've been doing this for 15 years and it sucks more and more. Now we have complex as hell client-side frameworks like Angular. A framework on top of my framework, great! More and more screen sizes/devices/browsers, but not a freaking way of handling any of this information because, for some stupid reason, the User-Agent header is useless. CSS media queries are useless. JavaScript window.size is useless.

The problem is: HTML is not made for applications, it's made for documents, linked documents. The day someone put a form in HTML hell broke loose and even after 20 years, the web is seriously broken and things are just getting worst. For example, date input fields; supported by Chrome and Safari, but not by Firefox. You want to localize it? IT SUCKS! I thought Java's Calendar was crap, but JavaScript's Date is pure mayhem... And I could go on and on about why HTML/CSS/JS is all a bunch of crap which, instead of evolving, are making things harder.

And now they want to add Future/Promise to JavaScript... HAHAHAHA!!!

My wife has a new Lenovo and I despise the stupid annoying keyboard layout because of all you mentioned AND the freaking position of the FN key and that function keys are not anymore function keys.

Want to close a window? Press Fn + Alt + Mute Microphone... WTF?!?!!

At least their ESC key is one of the biggest I've seen, so a big win for viers.

For my college project (2003?) I modded UT:GOTY and its map creator tool (UnrealEd) to work as an architects design tool when pretty much everyone was using CAD tools.

I was able to provide to an architect a tool that was very easy to use (UnrealEd was pretty cool), to create structures and allowed real time 3D visits of them, modify the textures and modify the sounds.

Funny thing, I didn't have the time to remove/hide a certain feature of the game: dying. So if a visitor of a virtual building dropped from more than a meter, the game would play the hurting animation or die if it wasn't in god mode.

Dark Souls lately, RPG's in general (Fallout is my personal fav)

As a programmer I try to get as fas as possible from "programming" games.

What I'm using for my latest project is a not a hash, but using an internal 128 long key to encrypt using PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 and persisting the result to a blob.
