The proxy can be generated from the Parle Browser extension which overlays HN and Reddit discussions directly on the page. You read more about it at https://www.parle.co
I don't think its just China. Horns used to be one of the ingredients in classic chinese medicine, but its drastically reduced next to none after horns were banned a couple of decades ago. India itself is a big importer of horns and I think much bigger then China
I wonder by Babel was ruled out, in conjunction with Flow. DefinatelyTyped was a game changer for us, as it already has a large repository for popular libraries.
But except that, typescript has some catch up to do in terms of typesystem with Flow.
The only reason why Node is taken seriously is the fact that beginners only have to learn one language and switching languages initially can be a deal breaker for many.
I have personally taught programming to a few people, and most people are really motivated if they get to see a usable web app rather then a terminal program, and for a web app NodeJS + Browser is far easier to teach then PHP,Rails,.. + Browser in my experience. They never really understand callbacks initially, but they can mash things up to see something on their screen.
Another big thing about Node is the boilerplate to run NodeJS programs (compared to PHP where installing apache can be a nightmare for beginners, and makes it much harder to understand the big picture)
Async is hard, and takes a long time to breath in I agree. But closures + callbacks nearly look similar to to sync code in other languages. Async code looks much more scary in other languages
React is a pain to use with web components. The event handling in React blows up when it is rendered under shadow DOM, so building chrome extension through React can be a bit of pain.
They are aware of the issue, but too slow in responding to pull requests and mostly reject them for being 'not good enough'
Its not just about being a helper. All peers have complete access to each other's machine, not just to initiate http requests. It even allows peers to download files from each other, and steal other personal information. Its just insanely stupid to come anywhere near this software. They should immediately patch the software, well before changing FAQs.
Sure, they have complete right to safe guard customer data with authentication checks.
But the situation here is that the customer is offering its consent to use their data on another platform or application.
The same holds for rooting android/iphones and making them do what you want. Not getting into legal details, you should own your data across services and your hardware that you buy.
Adding technical barriers is one thing, suing and interdependent group of people trying to learn the API and building tools on top is completely unfair.
I am not sure why they modelled their pricing model on a per node basis rather then the total data storage. I guess the nodes will be isolated from every other cluster, but that makes the initial price to setup a cluster a lot higher then lets say using Azure Table storage.
On a side note there is already the Edge project that allows NodeJS and .Net to run in the same process. So you can run Asp.Net MVC websites with NodeJS side by side. And it runs on all platforms using Mono Runtime
I also use i3 with vim and a browser as my setup, but I would always go for SSD more then anything. The whole machine feels snappier when compiling and running stuff, although I do back it up with 8GB of ram.
Games in js have had similar requirements, or even tougher. expectation out of a game has been increasing for a long while, and there are games being built on js (even full fledge games using asm.js and webgl),
So i dint think the requirement for latency is as insane, you just need good dicipline, which game develers have had for decades
I dont think kqueue fulfils the need of listening on file system events. Mac OSX has FS Events, to fill the need of inotify. Kqueue is more of a replacement for Epoll and works consistently across all file descriptors, not necessary for listening events on file paths.
I agree. Xamarin guys have done a great job at delivering cross platform UI, making C# first class on most platform, but their API's still lag behind .Net official framework and are stuck to the .Net 4.0 era.
The biggest reason why I still dont use coffeescript is that most compile javascript tooling doesnt work. I cant use types from TypeScript, or use JSX extentions with coffeescript.
Yeah, BTW I am also super curious how they merged the tabs UI with the top window bar. That also seems to be a pending issue in atom. I have a feeling it may just be nwjs.
