"The set-theoretical axioms that sustain modern mathematics are self-evident in differing degrees. One of them – indeed, the most important of them, namely Cantor's axiom, the so-called axiom of infinity – has scarcely any claim to self-evidence at all". John P. Mayberry

Modules are evil in my experience, they have many disadvantages, much more than the writer points to.

When I looked up for some wrapper to Backbone I came across ChaplinJS: https://github.com/chaplinjs/chaplin/ and it was nice, but using the module system was a nightmare. It was so painful, that I forked it and remove the module system from the code (which was a pain, but still less painful than handling the module system). the fork is here: https://github.com/snird/Mildred and I use it in production now.

Since they switched to be chromium-based they stopped publishing for linux. is there someone who knows why? I can't see any technical problem stopping them..

it might just be. the idea of open source encourage them to contribute and make current projects better - if nautilus isn't suit for them for some reason they should try to cooperate with this project developers to add features and changes, and IMHO only if they get some really tough "no" on their most needed features they should start their own replacement. preferably as a fork. just as google does with webkit - they contribute and make the current open source project better and only when the project management (AKA Apple) blocked them too hard they had to fork it.

walled garden? ActiveX? your comment is pure FUD. dart is as open as possible - open source, open standard etc' etc'.

This is a genuine attempt to make the web better - I'm definitely supporting it.

He explains the problem well, but I yet to see someone who explains the docker solution (into more details) well.

I think what will cause most damage to the ubuntu popularity is the new Unity integration with advertisers, I for one, start using Mint instead, getting the ubuntu environment I'm used to without all the bullshit.

For this specific problem Object.observe will offer a better solution, but for now Object.observe is only supported in Chrome while proxies are only supported in Firefox. Not that it matters in any way, as IE is far far behind..

Dart is as open as possible. this is nothing like silverlight or activex.

"protect free expression online"? and who will protect us from google itself?...

I think he meant a full OS comparable to Windows 7 and OS X, let's say Ubuntu or Fedora for that matter.

If it is not JavaScript, and it gains it's performance by static typing - well, we already have a language like that, and it's more production ready than asm.js - it's Dart.

I am an Israeli soldier, so I work all day long, waking up at 8am and finish working at 12pm. 16 Hours per day, 5 days a week and more 6 hours of work at Friday, it sums up to 86 hours a week. But still, this is an exceptional situation we have here in Israel, I also get paid only 70$ a month.. (btw, sorry for my poor English)
