It didn't support transpiling generators to es5. Compiling to es6 would work and you could add babel to transpile down to es5 so in practice this wasn't much of a problem.

Async iterators are very exciting and builds should be faster without babel in the pipeline.

I'd be surprised if they block tracking which is the other half of what ad blockers do and arguably the half that I think is more important.

It would be neat if they checked your DNT setting and then blocked tracking based on that.

Have really enjoyed using Apollo Client with React, Redux and Redux Saga. It plays very well with TypeScript too.

Great article. I laughed a lot. Thanks for that!

Typescript works quite well with React, redux etc.

I'm unreasonably happy about Async Iterators being on the roadmap. Makes it much easier to write imperative asynchronous streaming code.

I could have been clearer. I meant that setting up docker for his use case i.e. a single 'standard' web application, is relatively easy. Especially if you're using something like Amazon Elastic Beanstalk. At least, that's been my experience.

You're right that docker can become very complex e.g. dockerizing and orchestrating mariadb with galera for high availability was not pleasant.

Docker may be overkill to start but it's relatively low cost to implement and it will definitely pay dividends over time:

    * You can be sure that what you're running locally 
      is exactly what you'll be running on the server
    * Your deployment experience will be the same 
      regardless of which tech stack you're using for the 
      web application
    * There are many places you can deploy docker 
      containers (Google GCE, Amazon ECS, Amazon EB, etc.)
    * A web application is often composed of several 
      services (e.g. the web app, a database, redis etc.) 
      and docker compose makes it easy to fire all of 
      those up in development e.g. if a new 
      developer joins, they only need to install 
      docker rather than web app framework + 
      database + redis
    * Docker sets you up quite well to grow into a 
      more complex deployment (e.g. using Kubernetes)

Why do you believe it will run so much faster than wetware? It would be great to see the math. Also, how much power do you think it would take?

We're using serilog and seq together and they are fantastic.

I wonder if the 'strings attached' is that the 'pre-paid steam revenue' needs to be paid back if the game doesn't make the money back on steam.

Docker?

Anyone know which version of NodeJS they're using? AWS is stuck on node v0.10.36. Fortunately, it's easy to use babel to transpile back to it.

You could also have a TypeScript to babel to ES5 workflow e.g.: http://gurustop.net/blog/2015/10/27/babel-typescript-compile...

Unfortunately not. I'll make that clearer in future.

An alternative point of view: if your one-man-show consultancy was not IR35 compliant, paying corporation tax instead of NI and PAYE (i.e. salary) would be a sign that you're avoiding tax.

> First of all, that's Facebook employees paying tax. Not Facebook. That's their money that they are taxed on and they pay it.

I'm reasonably confident that HMRC is entirely happy with corporations choosing to pay their staff more (and have those salaries taxed appropriately) rather than paying their employees less and paying corporation tax on the profits.

This will be amazing for the 3rd world, if it works, as postal services are notoriously ineffective and there's now way to overlay a trust model on them.

A long time ago, Dave Taylor left id to create Crack dot Com. They then wrote the game "Abuse" using C++ and a lisp variant:

Although, from the FAQ:

http://abuse.zoy.org/wiki/doc/faq

"Approximately seven percent of the game engine and Abuse combined is Lisp code. The rest is C++."

First off, nginx is awesome and you can do all the things we did with vulcand with nginx, so it was just a question of friction.

The reason we went with vulcand is that it natively supports what we wanted to do i.e. route to micro-services based on dynamic etcd driven configuration. To do the same thing in nginx (at the time), we would have either had to use confd or custom lua.

Instead of nginx, we've had a pretty good experience using vulcand (https://github.com/mailgun/vulcand) as the front-end router for our micro-services.

This looks like it's done server side. How is it sandboxed, I wonder? Would it be feasible to do it with emscripten instead?

Anyone know what this table means:

        2 words  0

        5 words  19d
        6 words  405y
        7 words  3My

Does it mean that if your password contains only 4 words, it 3 minutes to crack regardless of the words?
