Node: yes

Express: yes

Neo4J: why not

Angular: rather not

With 'more than 6.5 million monthly' they should do between 50K - 200K/m depending on the bizdev and sales skills.

50K is not enough to keep operations running, 100K would work with editors from low-wage countries.

But still a bit odd that they ran out of money.

Don't know if the concept of DevOps is bs but I know that it's unfortunate if a developer never did system administration: there are many of this "git push heroku" kind of devs who pee in their pants if they have to deal with bare metal and the production servers. It's not that they wouldn't be able too handle them, it's that they are afraid because they never did and besides, good system administration knowledge leads always to better application and system design.

Dogmatic thinking is never good. I've been on many conferences and many could been perceived as wasted time. And on one which was one of the worst I met tons of 'useless' people and by accident one guy who invested in me $4M.

So you never know who will be 'useless' and on conferences you meet so many people in a very short time, that it's ultra efficient. And you get appointments easier because meetings can be quicker.

However, most important with any conference is that you try to get at least 5-10 appointments for a conference which means you have to reach out to min 50

Hijacking the thread: Anyone made already experiences with HTTP2, Node, Express and Nginx together?

Where do you see 1sec latency difference?

EDIT: ok found it and it's striking, the difference is even more than 1 sec (total loading time)

Do they have a showcase where the same app is implemented on both iOS and Android?

How to save context with any note/todo app/list:

Just append a "#context"

Many folks in this thread are expressing that it's the OP's fault and not Ruby's.

The OP made his post as objective as possible, politely written and nobody is loosing his face, neither Ruby as a language nor the Ruby community. But people are still resentful and fire back.

I believe it's not a discussion about Ruby anymore, its strengths, its weaknesses and wether Ruby still fits in 2015—no it's the fear of people that their core competence might be less worth in future. That all the time and energy they invested all the years into one language might be not a good investment anymore. The fear that better tech will replace their tech and that they have to start at zero again.

I know I am going to be heavily downvoted for this post. Before you downvote just think a second again why you'll downvote me.

> The persistence module is an optional extra

But a DB offers usually persistency and you called your product ForerunnerDB

I still think that the communication/positioning/branding of ForerunnerDB could be improved since it's misleading.

But at the end you have to store it somehow and thus you employ the underlying browser DBs for that (like IndexedDB or WebSQL) => wrapper

> but it had come across as confusing

I would disagree here, there is another great resource online for 2 years and showing up as #1 on Google when searching:

https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

re 2.: sure? And did you try it with the new Google Mobile Freindly Test too?

I thought all browsers support IndexedDB?

However, I think it would be helpful to communicate this as a wrapper around IndexedDB instead of positioning it as another new DB.

What does is offer significantly more than the browser built-in IndexedDB?

My recent experience with Yahoo:

A while ago after I installed uTorrent all my browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) switched to Yahoo as my default search. Then I changed them back to Google.

After a while (I guess after I rebooted the computer) again all browsers showed Yahoo again. I googled for some help I found a hint that I have to disable and remove the 'Searchme' extension. I did so.

After a while (I guess after I rebooted the computer) again all browsers showed Yahoo again and the Searchme extension showed up again. And still Searchme is there—I took a screenshot http://imgur.com/OsH9o0m

EDIT: Why the downvotes?

Nice post and promising future for Rust as a web stack.

Just wondering if a simple blog post on a blog would have been enough—registering a domain and creating a dedicated site seems a bit like overkill.

> "Google Play is a package manager" doesn't make any sense.

It makes totally sense. Google Play is a package manager like apt-get, npm, etc. and Play is a nice name which covers many uses case since it's a playful synonym for "start" or "to start something": "start a game", "start a program", "start an app" or "start work"

The term 'package manager' would be to long and is not learned among the mainstream but again it's exactly this, check Wikipedia:

"A package manager or package management system is a collection of software tools that automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages for a computer's operating system in a consistent manner. It typically maintains a database of software dependencies and version information to prevent software mismatches and missing prerequisites."

I think you are confusing use cases, the iOS Enterprise Developer program is something totally different. It serves companies who want to either test own apps within the organization or use own apps just for internal use (like intranet apps). Meanwhile the program got rather abused for doing test flights and beta tests.

What Google does is different: the company IT can decide which apps are allowed and they can automate installation, e.g. company xy wants to install Salesforce, Trello, and 5 other apps on company devices in addition to the OS apps.

> By deciding that only users of Go can criticize Go

This describes my feeling when going through the thread and reading that significant weaknesses of Go are not significant.

> City Fears Being Overrun

What does the city exactly fear?

Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS support it for more than a year now => 93% of the market

While I find the post a bit odd I value the 3rd bullet legitimate for debate:

Since the collapse of the USSR and the rise of post-Tiananmen China it has become glaringly obvious that capitalism does not require democracy. Or even benefit from it. Capitalism as a system may well work best in the absence of democracy.

I am also quite impressed and wonder how China got there where it is today in the absence of democracy. But I am not sure if I would agree with the OP since there many examples where states economically failed/are failing and assumingly because of the absence of democracy.

This is inaccurate. Nowadays, the 300ms goes already away if you set the meta viewport tag with width=device-width etc [1]

> Vertical centering has been relatively easy since CSS 2.1 (Table model)

But not with divs which are more common

> Presumably, it will be available when Apple release the next version of Safari

How do you know? It's was unprefixed already ~3 months ago, so why should it happen with the next release? And when does the next release come? And why do their release cycles are not as short as those from Chrome or Firefox?

Because it's not their core business.

> ... to be lack of contributors on WebKit's part than anything.

Exactly what I wrote: Apple is focussing on other stuff than the web because—again—it's not their core business. They have two browsers, mobile Safari and desktop Safari and none of them got this important upgrade yet. A fast innovating web isn't in Apple's favor.
