I am happy too. Anything taking views from this hate and lie spreading paper is good. Ad block should not even try to circumvent this.

Nice Article. Unlike what Der Spiegel wrote... They quickly associated the protestors with: Pegida, NPD, Front National, Bulgarian Ultranationalists, American Tea-Party and Donald Trump.

"Wer nichts Schlimmes daran findet, sich gedanklich bei Pegida-Bachmann, Marine Le Pen und Donald Trump unterzuhaken, darf bei der Demo heute gerne hinter dem Plakat mit dem Chlorhühnchen herrennen."

Unbelievable.

I only agree about the 'energy predicament' not being taken seriously. I don't think progress can be measured like he described. The steam-engine and frequency signaling where huge, transformed our society greatly and still are the base of many things we do now. But he sounds like "there are no hoverboards so progress must be declining".

First time i read a README from first to last word. Good job!

Doesn't work :/ OSX Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 (64-bit)

I am a bit curious about what "massive instability" you have in mind?

With photorealism not being a speed problem but more of a artistic problem, i think its natural that tools focus on artists rather than programmers.

Movie-like assets for games are hard, expensive and artists who master all the skills that it takes are rare.

Very simple: Instead of making 200 requests, http2 will use a single requests and stream in the chunks continuously. Also noticeable by the pictures not appearing randomly but in the same order they are sent out.

Success mostly depends on the size of the team and their culture. Do they do code reviews? Refactor early and often? Is there a architecture plan that is enforced and trained to new hires?

Frameworks do give you a corset to work within. I do not claim backbone wasn't a success. Just providing that was big.

Not trying to be cynical, but i am kinda glad that backbone is "over" for me. Been with it for about 5 years or more and i have seen big projects fall apart. You don't see the tree behind all the leafs after a year of coding.

With flux/react/angular around development is a lot more fun again. I can't imagine going back.

Wow. This is the first time i played a really cool and addicting websocket/webgl game. Most games try to be too big for the current state of the platform. This nails it!

Do your apps run single-threaded? Why wouldn't you cluster? In-memory state is easily avoidable. Using in-memory sessions even prints a warning in express by default.

From my experience there are a few people in IT who can learn from this and start self-reflecting. They are NOT the majority but there are angry white sociopathic nerds.

The monoculture is often criticized in the programming departments and being nice would be the first thing for diversity happen sooner.

It basicly a wrapper around Promises.

Nothing of your sync functions work until after you do syncify.revert which gives you a function taking a CALLBACK.

Yes. And a redesign. And a paid premium (200 chars) account. And a enterprise (500chars + in-tweet-auto-playing-video) option.

There is clearly not enough advertisement on twitter, no wonder the users are running away.

Would be enough to look up the first 3 editors of this article. Rudolf Augstein would turn in his grave if he knew what happend to der Spiegel.

...because of your career? Are you working in IT or the Mafia?

I'm Looking forward to get a new Phone. I am however undecided on Firefox OS and Ubuntu OS. Leaning towards Ubuntu but this device looks like a first-gen smart phone... once you see the bezel you can not unsee it!

I feel discussing weed vs alcohol really tiresome too. I never had "paranoia" smoking weed and I never started bar fights or stole cars while drunk. It's a personal thing. If you smoke weed and jump out of windows or smash people faces because you got drunk, you are probably already bent in some way.

These are soft drugs and should be legal simply for drying out the black market. And have them available in a controlled manner.

Latency is low enough that nobody cares about making it faster. I was at a awesome ISP 10 years ago playing quake with < 10ms ping (through clever routing to certain servers). This is still unmatched, I would say that latency and connection quality actually decreased. Fluent "live" interaction over the internet is still decades away.

I use webapps every day. I don't really have a problem with the majority of them and i do not run into most issues he described often. When he talked about mobile i got to think: Hey most of the native apps on my mobile suck! Awful UIs, crashes, "bookmarkable state?" forget about it! Calendar widget not loading any entries? Restart the device!

Javascript is not the killer platform. I got it. Can we stop complaining?

Also: 10+ years of experience - does not understand `this` ha.

... =(

I saw his movie on assisted suicide. I hope he left us with no regrets. RIP

Since nobody else mentioned it: Directory Opus. Looks big and clunky at first look but it's actually very fast and 100% customizable. You could strip it down to a dual list view and operate it purely by keyboard shortcuts. Buttons are defined in a copy pasteable xml format, are scriptable, come in various forms and let you bind events for left/right/middle click. The only caveat is: windows only. I would kill for a Linux version.

So far i only heard of o2 (telefonica) having bandwidth throttles and when you can choose o2 you can usually choose other providers. Most cities have local providers with really good connections, stable rates and no overly expensive prices. Kabel Deutschland is a problem. Their 100mbit is a joke and not better than 16mbit from a proper provider. I wonder if its just the cable technology or them throttling traffic randomly. They alsp give me horrendous international routing. Websites not located within europe go through 300 hops are slow and unenjoyable. I had better experiences in the same city with other ISPs.

This is really bad for rural communities. Not only for having not internet but alos for their Economy. I know a company who are stuck with 1mbit and after experimenting with satellite internet and mobile-internet they are pretty much on the brick to move towards the city. Is everyone left behind is suppose to grow potatos for a job?

Data caps do not exist for non-mobile Internet connections in Germany. The speed of the Internet is still increasing. We are at a point where i don't even care about getting more. Bandwidths of 250mbit are announced to come to the market in the coming years. I can live with stable 50mbit. The real problem are rural areas where people are stuck with 2mbit/256kbit lines and throwing away net neutrality will not change a damn thing about this. Laying kilometers of fibreglass into the ground for less than 500 customers will never be profitable. Even if they can charge half of them with a premium fee.

Derp. Have you read any proprietary software license before? Do you have an iPhone? What planet are you from? Your comment made me go and donate again now.

Yeah i can see that it is a lot of work. I could be reduced to influential companies that are listed in the stockmarket or are somehow else classified as influential. Food-watch for apps and devices... I am just winging it now. Time to do some googling.

I wish there was a website illustrating the political compass of companies. Showing their affiliate network, money flows, endorsements/statements, tax-haven parent companies and ivory collections of elephant hunting CEOs. Call me reactionary.

I just donated $15. If there is nothing to stop large companies completely ignoring the GPL then what good is it?
