Does/will Noms have proper support for multiuser sync? That’s an issue with CouchDB.

I mean: instead of syncing whole the database, only syncing the parts that a user has access to, and being able to define those accesses. The standard use case for consumer apps.

+1 for not saying “written in Go” in the title.

Yeah, this is bad.

> I don't think most FB users and business pages are aware that their "public" posts and pages are now obscured by sign-up nag sliders.

Unfortunately, I guess most FB users would be more surprised that some people don’t have a Facebook account, not that they are greeted with a signup window.

I see the big potential in having an always-on development environment in the cloud. It would enable better collaboration. It also enables features not possible with in the old way, like easier deployment, ready-made persistence, moving back in time, … .

But for me the problem with them is that the text editor is not Emacs. I guess a lot of developers who are somewhat experienced have similar attachment to their editors and scripts. And it’s not just an emotional one: it directly affects productivity.

Not trying to be negative here, but this is really an issue.

Does anybody know if there is any plan for updating the Camel Book for Perl 6?

Heroku has a decent offer: https://www.heroku.com/postgres.

Another option is intoGres: https://www.intogres.com.

The part of the “xxx is not for creative work” argument that bothers me is the assumption that “creative work” cannot be organized and planned. Let’s call writing, programming, … simply “work,” not “creative work,” and we have to do them like other kinds of work.

Of course, some parts of everybody’s work need more focus/mental energy/physical energy/..., but that doesn’t mean they are special and can get away with being disorganized.

Van Morrison once said in an interview that when he has a song to write he simply sits down and works on it, whether he feels like it or not. Are our iOS apps more “creative” than his songs?

What’s wrong with the fox? I like their logo. A lot of big, mainstream brands have fun-looking mascots. They may have to redesign and improve it as they grow, like everybody does, but I don’t see it necessary to replace it completely.

> No bounty if you're in Iran, North Korea, or some other problem countries.

I’m a Tarsnap user from Iran. I’m not interested in these bounties anyways, but the phrase “problem countries” feels a little strange to me.

on.google.com/hub for a product named OnHub? Does that mean more OnXXX products are on the way?

Thanks for the references. I’ll look them up.

Kind of OT, but has anybody read this book? How good is it? Seems very interesting and the articles on the site are good too, but since it’s not on Amazon I haven’t seen any reviews.

Oh no.

It’s OT, but why is there so much “promotional” crap all over the blog? One can’t read the text without distraction.

Awesome news for nginx users. But why should the first reaction should be about criticizing the other option? Some HAProxy users may or may not switch to this new product in the coming years. I probably won’t. Even today there is a big overlap between what HAProxy, nginx, and some other tools do and yet everybody works with what they prefer. Adding another feature that until now HAProxy had and nginx didn’t have doesn’t mean a dramatic time for this “competition” (even if such a thing exists).

I’m doing the same thing very happily. The upside is that you can have email addresses that you may rarely use, but still prefer to have, without having to pay separately for them too.

FastMail’s “personalities” make it possible to do this very easily. Almost all the mail clients have decent support for this too. (I use Mail.app on Mac and Dispatch on iPhone.)

It’s not a separate mobile site. It appears they’re adding a little responsiveness to the current design. And that’s a great idea for this kind of content.

You’re right. What makes this project interesting is the idea and the design, not Go, yet it would be much harder to get this publicity through that. And that’s exactly what I’m saying: why should people upvote just because of the language?

I know. That’s kind of true for all of us. But yet I believe this is not that important. Specially not important enough to put the language like a badge of honor beside the project’s name or description in the title, like how these “written in Go”s are.

If a projects seems interesting enough for someone, it’s more than easy to see what language is it written in. BTW, that’s how things work: you don’t decide to contribute to a project because it’s written in your favorite language. You first have to like the project itself, and if it happens to be in a language you’re comfortable with, you may contribute to it.

Why should being written in a particular language matter? We see a lot of these “written in Go”s these days for a lot of new softwares. I’m a big user of Go myself. Love the language and use it for almost everything. But I just don’t get why an editor or IDE or static site generator or any other piece of software brag about using a particular language or library.

And... here’s an implementation: https://github.com/mattn/streeem

Well, that was quick.

Or, it could be a result of Go making use of some novel approaches that a lot of programmers are not used to.

> it is not even physically available to spit on

Right on!

Interesting that a lot of serious and important tools of today are being written in Go (like Docker and Rocket which made another news today). Very impressive for a young programming language which is still at version 1.3.

Yes, that’s awesome. They’ve always been doing that. I love that too.

A more comprehensive test data would be awesome.

Why not? It’s available. But you’ll need GAE setup and Go source code compilation. BTW, it’s actually for the developers of Go itself.

It’s talked about in the link given up there by kristianp and matiasb. Please follow that link. (Both are the same.)

When I read “Kraken.js” for a second I thought it’s a JS client for Asana’s Kraken project: https://github.com/Asana/kraken

Are we running out of names for open source projects?

Each?
