So I could use this to setup a local dev env? Instead of using something like https://github.com/localstack/localstack

“We can now, with real knives and real guns, PK them again, win again,”

I read that as poesklap!

What is the difference between censorship and management of spam, fake news, sock puppet accounts etc?

Invented or discovered?

I agree bitcoin is an extreme waste of electricity, but plastic bottle caps... maybe it's "good" plastic and most of it is recycled

What? The L-shaped magsafe is ideal for sitting cross legged. All other power connectors jab into the side of my leg. And I've never had the magnet disengage

I don't know, most times it is much quicker to do `--help | grep something` or similar than clicking through nested menus with limited or no search

And "what the hell is this?" when you see a data structure called "options"

> most Chinese are probably not ready for their message of political openness

Isn't this exactly the problem. Someone else deciding what you are ready or not ready for. For me democracy is about everyone having a voice, even those on the lower levels. There will always be different levels.

> calculate the amount of time before humans consume the entire universe

I've heard this same argument made using energy instead of mass. That article correlated economic growth with increased energy usage. It does make sense, our universe might be expanding but it is finite.

However, what if this is a social and not a physics problem? Maybe more and more new people are required to keep human social structures functioning optimally. Maybe the solution is virtual reality.

> most family members of a person with a severe illness will tell you that they struggle to get their loved ones admitted even when the situation gets dire

In South-Africa you have to beg private hospitals to admit patients with certain psychiatric conditions. The default is to send patients to public hospitals, and that will likely involve much more restraint and much less care.

My respect goes out to people that keep on trying to deal with these situations with limited resources.

Thing is, my social life isn't restricted to "loved ones". I just want a way to connect online with anyone I might bump into in the real world. I hate the fb ux and how it breaks the web in so many ways, but currently there isn't anything else that comes close. Taking my ball and going home is not an option. I wish there was some way to force them to make a decent API that allows you to do everything that can be done via the web or the app.

I've never seriously considered using Azure, I'm quite happy with AWS. Problem is the closest zone to South Africa is EU. This might make me consider using Azure. I hope Amazon has similar plans in the works.

> the idea that you can figure out where someone is from by analyzing their written text

That idea is quite well known, so it's likely that the post was written like that deliberately. I was just wondering if you could create a similar sounding post with a chain of people rewriting the original in their own words.

At least with separate companies dominating distinct pieces of software there is some degree of de-centralisation. As opposed to a tax system with a centralised agency for collections

One of my favourite authors. I like how optimistic his books are, reminds me of the Culture series.

> But if a hot new chat app becomes popular

...Lord have mercy, not another one!

> by taxing companies on every item of theirs which goes into landfill

Second that idea. From my perspective, if recycling was perfect the only limitation on single use items would be how convenient it is to dispose and obtain another one. Also, I hate searching for new clothes that fit when the current options go out of fashion.

That statement seems simple and correct at first, but the term "user" is not well defined. Even if there was only one user in the world, me, it still isn't well defined. The reason being that I can't tell you right now at this moment about all the possible use-cases I might have for some software in the future.

But it is not just the solar system, and the time frame is a bit tight... http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/07/galactic-scale-e...

I've used template libs to do this in the past, e.g. mustache.js, handlebars.js, Jinja2, etc. Then generating JSON as output instead of HTML. Usually quick to learn the template libraries DSL, and I find templates easier to read than transforms.

"Your 3G connection isn't like your home ADSL or cable internet connection - it is designed for browsing web pages and downloading data off big servers, not serving up content to the whole world, like a mini version of a Facebook or Instagram server."

If you had a container running somewhere in the cloud talking to containers owned by other users then the mobile device doesn't have to be a server?

Is this not what Google Buzz was supposed to be?

Gives new meaning to the word "scarecrow"

"Do I miss IE6? As a CEO, actually yes." Seriously? Article should just have started with this, then I wouldn't have had to read the rest.

How does this compare to https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin ?

Interesting that no-one has mentioned HTML5 yet. If everyone programmed web apps for this platform then "app neutrality" would not be an issue. Assuming the devices all implemented the spec consistently.

I have actually written some software for keeping track of pallets. This was about 6 years ago. There was about 10K wooden pallets and 90K plastic crates to keep track of. We also had CHEP pallets. These had to be tracked separately and manually updated on CHEPs IE only website with no API. No RFIDs were involved. The system required two manual counts. One on pick up and another on delivery. If the two counts were way off, or one end was missing, the shipment would be flagged. It kind of worked.

No it doesn't - I haven't really seen any significant improvements when using bindonce. An additional problem is that Angular is not fast generating the DOM from template either. Never mind the performance hit of 2000+ bindings and what it does to the responsiveness of the page. Just for generating the HTML string from a template and appending it to the page I've found, for example, Handlebars to be 10x faster than Angular.

I use jQuery to speed up specific Angular controllers with lots of binding. The jQuery allows me to avoid the bindings on things like lists entirely. I create a companion directive to my controller with isolate scope. The two then communicate via events. Or the directive just calls the controllers functions from the child scope. Inside the directive I can render the list using something like Mustache, Handlebars, PureJS, etc. All of them seem to be faster than Angular by a factor of 10. Using the jQuery I can then bind, for example, one click handler to the entire list.

I load jQuery after Angular. This means Angular is still using jqLite - and prevents the extra functionality from being abused in simpler use-cases.

Sometime in the future browsers will support Object.observe natively. At this point I will scrap my companion directives and use Angular binding even in long lists.
