Can't do much about the time it takes light to get here, so I guess the answer is we'd have to learn to love 75 minute ping :)

This article hits the nail on the head, but twice-a-day is extreme and not realistic for my position leading a development team. I found the mute button & fiddling with notification settings to be the middle ground. I do the same as y

Seeing a lot of comments about how Angular had no migration plan. Migration was discussed at length at ng-conf back in March, including a large portion of the keynote(s). They made it very clear a smooth and simple migration was top prior

I can't figure out how Kickback gets around the gambling legalities if they are hosted in the US. They also say they use PayPal for withdrawals which is shocking since gambling is against their TOS.

My guess is even basic obfuscation of his code via minification/compression would eliminate the majority of these copies. The version of his portfolio linked in the article has no obfuscation (granted it could be in dev mode)
