enkrs··on Vue.js 2.1 Released
Not in websites per-se, but even the simplest contact/enquiry web form/wizard with some validation/interaction is a breeze to program in Vue.js compared to jQuery.

We have multiple internal enterprise applications where both jQuery and Vue.js are available. More often than not, when there's a pull request, even for the simplest UI interaction, it can be refactored to few lines in Vue.js from the jQuery event and DOM mess. We plan to move away from jQuery in a year or so, and no new jQuery plugins are allowed.

Vue.js has also allowed us to iterate much faster on complex UI than it would be possible with jQuery.

For bigger apps, you can add components, and for even bigger - add Vuex. Vue.js (same as React) really is the new jQuery.

enkrs··on Intel In Bed with NSA?
Definitely paranoia. If you want to believe NSA is spying trough your Intel system, they could do it trough vPro and not some RNG calculations. One might assume that NSA can easily tap into the built in VNC server[1] of the CPU.

[1] Computers with particular Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors enjoy the benefit of a VNC-compatible Server embedded directly onto the chip, enabling permanent remote access and control. A RealVNC collaboration with Intel's ground-breaking hardware has produced VNC Viewer Plus, able to connect even if the computer is powered off, or has no functioning operating system. http://www.vnc.com/products/viewerplus/

enkrs··on Too Many People Buying iPhones Other Than the 5
If this shows anything, it's that Apple is feeling the pressure to for faster planed obsolescence. People don't go running after Samsung Galaxy S2 released around the same time, because for a long time Galaxy was stuck with an out of date Android version, while the iPhone ran the latest iOS as soon as it was released and will probably run the next one.

Devices that last long, can't get todays' short term investors happy.

enkrs··on Reminder: secret_token.rb is named so for a reason
Maybe not so intrusive, but they could add it to https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Ruby.gitigno... . Not sure how many people use that repo tough.
enkrs··on How to Divide any number By 9, 90, 900 and so on in just 5 seconds
Unrelated note, you can do simple multiplication by 9 with your fingers: place your palms on a table and imagine your fingers are numbered 1-10 from left to right.

4 * 9? Lift up your fourth finger - you have 3 to the left and 6 to the right - answer is 36.

8 * 9? Lift up your eight finger - 7 to the left and 2 to the right - answer is 72.

I hope it's not totally common knowledge thing.

enkrs··on Flash For Linux Will Only Be Available For Chrome
In that case I realy hope to see this site change soon: https://wiki.mozilla.org/NPAPI:Pepper
enkrs··on How to set up a mail server on a GNU / Linux system
It's mostly because you're not yet proved to be NOT spam. When you start a new mail server on an IP there's zero diference between a legimate email server and a spamhost. Your IP will not be in spamhaus and other blacklists, but you might get stuck in McAffee and other more enterpricey filters, especially if some other IPs in your subnet are known to send spam.
enkrs··on A git Primer
So like "File->Save As Copy" from Photoshop. Makes sense.
