Turns out you can already do this. It works on El Capital, at least.

jQuery is a dependency of Ember. Angular (at least 1.x) requires either jQuery or its own subset, jqLite. Cross browser incompatibility is still a thing and jQuery remains a very good tool for abstracting the differences.

It also loads several external resources, from various sources, including Google Analytics, any one of which could (albeit probably won't) intentionally or accidentally expose your private data to a third party.

So Steve's advice is still prudent, even though "it does everything in the browser."

You could take a look at Scaleway[0]. They provide ARM-based dedicated servers (with caveats).

Well, you can at least limit it to only seeing your public repos and not the private ones[0]. Of course, that doesn't negate the fact that should the developer have coded the app to modify your code, you can't do anything to stop them.

I've been using the beta of this dashboard for about a month now and I've been really pleased with how much faster it is to use, and how much more helpful information is placed in-line in the new design - most "wtf does this button do?" questions can be answered without opening the Cloudflare docs in another tab. I'm only using the free plan with ~20 domains so I can't speak to what it's like as a "proper" user, but for my purposes the new interface is a clear improvement.

Also, the responsiveness of the development team to feedback has been very positive; every issue I've raised was responded too quickly and clearly (even pedantic niggles[0]).

[0] But seriously, what algorithm is the domain list sorted with? It's a total mystery, please fix it.

It's really impossible to use that number in a meaningful way, since you also have to take into account that most instances of file loss on their end will be unnoticed anyway (you'll still have a local copy that will simply be uploaded again).

The first rule of Macros is: don't write macros.

However, if you are going to use (and abuse) this powerful feature of Elixir, I can't think of anyone better than Chris McCord to help guide you on your way. Chris' talk on Macros[0] at Erlang Factory last year was not only highly education, but also very entertaining. If that video doesn't convince you, I recommend you take a look at the Phoenix web framework codebase[1]. Chris is an incredibly talented programmer, and an incredibly helpful, and patient guide to those less skilled than he attempting to contribute code to his projects (I know this because he held my hand through getting a pull request merged into Phoenix some months ago when I was still playing with Elixir).

I've had a similar experience, for even longer. I haven't had Flash installed on my MacBook since I got it in early 2013, and I primarily use Safari. For a while it was annoying that Netflix didn't work, and I used to run Chrome exclusively for that purpose, but since OS X 10.10 Netflix works natively in Safari, which is nice.

An opinion isn't right or wrong, it just is, no matter how strongly you assert it. And it certainly is open to ridicule: would you take seriously someone claiming, with absolute sincerity, to be the sovereign ruler of the Gumdrop Kingdom?

This is the most utterly ridiculous claim I have heard in a long time, not least because what constitutes "the best works" of art is entirely subjective.

OS X and iOS have this, it's called Keychain, and it even works cross-device[0] totally securely[1]. Safari recently (I can't remember when) started suggesting passwords, too. Being built into the OS makes it an order of magnitude more likely to be used than a third party application, in my opinion.

Hi Slava, I just want to say thanks to you and your team for the huge amount of work I know went into having binary data storage make this release.

I followed the relevant issues on GitHub closely, and for what it's worth I think you made the right choice - certainly this fits the way I want to store binary data in the database. It's a better system than even CouchDB attachments, what I'm currently using[0], and so much better than GridFS, a great solution to the wrong problem of how to engineer a storage layer on top of MongoDB, when my actual problem is: "how do I store this avatar image alongside this user as simply as possible."

Knowing how much attention was paid to "getting it right" on this one feature I paid particular attention to significantly bolsters my faith[1] in the engineering quality of the project as a whole.

[0] and what ultimately made me chose Couch over Rethink for my current project

[1] which was already high.

The semantics of Elixir are a superset of the semantics of Erlang, so by learning the former, you're learning the latter anyway. Plus, you'll be calling a lot of Erlang libraries from Elixir, so understanding how Erlang works is extremely beneficial to using Elixir.

Were it the case in 2005 that the type of analytics bit.ly and t.co enable were nearly as big money as they are now do you think you would have implemented a redd.it or similar shortener of your own?

    [T]he users who remain silent are not too lazy to ask for
    something more, they just don't want anything.

This is an important insight, and there's an equally important corollary: many of the things users ask for will be:

- not what the user wants at all

- what the user thinks they want, but so poorly described as to be impossible to implement

- what the user thinks they want, but actually doesn't

- what the user wants, but also a terrible idea that will make your thing worse for everyone else

There are ways to get useful feedback from your users, but asking them to tell you what they want is probably the worst one.

My argument is that the author should have made that his leading premise, not a secondary point.
