If anyone is interested in buying a System 76 product and have it delivered outside of US, please take into account that the price doesn't include VAT. This has to be payed separately, which usually means that each device is ~20% more

Both products are really good, but Github needs to realise that they have to be more open and listen more to their users. There is an opportunity for Gitlab here and I'm happy that they decided to make this announcement. The community

Any idea what happened to breach? It looked very promising when it was first announced, but I can see there hasn't been any contribution for more than 6 months.

Great and very useful plugin. Good job!

Go has a much better runtime system than Python (can spawn lots of green threads in parallel using goroutines), but it's also broken in so many ways (e.g.: type system).

It's more or less a matter of time until everything will be migrated to go. Since it has better performance and works good for them, there's no point not to do it.

Makes a lot of sense to me, Firefox is an excellent browser. I hope it will keep its independence though.

I've also added a Later Edit (LE) in the article and I hope some things are clear now.

It's hard for me to make more comments here. I don't know your tech background and also how much experience you have with frontend or any kind of frameworks. Unfortunately, you rush to make conclusions. It's my first post on

In angular you'd never need the line with className, so you'd end up with even less code, because of its declarative style. A good reading when thinking that's necessary to bind dom elements, events, etc is here: http:/

If you're really interested in Avira and its products, it's up to you to take a look into this project from time to time and you may change your impression. I added certain links in the article (e.g. http://www.funnyant

It's a tech post, not an avira commercial. Maybe it will help someone make a good decision when choosing a js framework, based on real experience and facts. You can read more about the product here http://www.avira.com/

I think that it may be simpler to learn than both angular and ember. Unfortunately, given the fact that it's missing 2 way data binding and it's not declarative, you end up with lots of boilerplate code and in the end you invest m

We rethought the backend API calls and made all of them in parallel. Also, the websocket - server connection is initialized sooner. So, I'd say that this part could have also be done in backbone. It was also fast before, but we gained

Great post, really made me take a deeper look into the product. I wasn't disturbed by the short video which explains most / all the features, but I can see the need of also having them as separate web pages (also useful for SEO).

While I tend to a agree to a certain degree (e.g.: you may want/be allowed to take some days to work remotely on a quarterly basis), there's a reason they saw this principle isn't working and even called back the people from large companies

Ok, I'll work then at creating a documentation and adding some tests. The project was written in coffeescript and someone only needs to extend a class and implement 2 methods and a list of starting urls. Using node cluster and concurrent co

Very true indeed. I was also randomly changing user-agents (Mozilla, Safari, Chrome, IE). I thought that this will be harder to tell whether there is a lot of traffic from the same network or someone is just intensively crawling the site. F

Yes, but it's hard to tell how complete and updated that subset is. There is (was until few weeks ago apparently) also http://www.imdbapi.com/ which was retrieving their data by crawling. Unfortunately, it was shut down.

Not bad at all. I build just a few months ago (not publicly released even though I plan) a crawler using NodeJS to take advantage of its evented architecture. I managed to crawl and store (in mongo) more than 300k movies from IMDB in just a
