Your web page does very little to explain what it does. Before listing its features, you need a secion on what it is. I could list features like "large", "grey", "slow", "heavy" but without first saying "it's a large mammal", those features make little sense.
It sucks.
I tried to refactor a large JS project and it almost ate itself. I converted it to TypeScript and then refactored in a few hours.
I'd add, it's more than just the language. I've just started working with Dart, which, as a language, is broadly comparable to TypeScript, but the big difference is how much more pleasureable and productive the Dart ecosystem is, vs anything else I've ever used.
I run all of my production services in simple *nix chroots. It's fairly simple to rsync these onto my dev machines to get the hi-fi local versions for testing. The only proviso is that you use similar environments, so in my case Ubuntu, for both production and development.
imho - no
Unlike Apache which served me well for 14 years without failure or interruption, I've had 3 hours of downtime in 2 months with Caddy. I haven't dug into the code, and I don't know Go, but my sense is that it needs to do much better at compartmentalising and isolating failures, and providing meaningful diagnostics for things like configuration errors.
Two specific examples:-
- If caddy can't obtain SSL certs for a configured domain, it completely fails to load. As an ops guy, I don't want 5 virtual hosts down because of a problem with a sixth, non-critical domain.
- A missing "}" in my Caddyfile caused a load failure with a message "invalid email address". Took me 30 minutes to find the problem. An error saying "Missing } in Caddyfile" would have far more helpful.
The project has great promise, but from an ops perspective, you'd be pretty bonkers to prefer Caddy over the more mature alternatives.
This changed in 2013 when the Statutory Residence Test was introduced.
Re the replies that mention the UK.
Since 2014, tax residency in the UK is now quite a complicated algorithm (see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rdr3-statutory-re...). Provided you keep your work-days in the UK low, and can demonstrate workdays outside of the UK, it's possible to avoid tax residency.
However, it's worth considering the benefit of being a UK tax resident is that you accrue National Insurance contributions (even if the amount of those contributions is zero!), which in turn qualify you for a state pension.
I'm neutral on the rebrand, but imho a rebrand needs to be accompanied by a restructure/refocus/resomething. Otherwise it's a pointless marketing exercise. The heyday of Mozilla was when it was the sole champion of a vendor neutral internet, competing with IE. That battle has long since been decided (spoiler alert: Chrome wins), but Mozilla is still fighting it, this time with Chrome as the enemy. It really needs to go find a new battle to fight. Persona is a great example of the kind of stuff that Mozilla should be focussed on - vendor neutral enablers of identity, payment, security, etc etc. Why isn't "Let's Encrypt" a Mozilla project?

exactly right. Under US copyright law, Evernote could be deemed to violate your exclusive right (as copyright holder of your content) to make copies whenever they made a backup. So to avoid any opportunist litigation, you grant them a limited licence to copy your work. The same goes for your right to display/perform.
www.CleverNote.co, kinda like Evernote over Google Drive. The cool Android app allows notes to float over whatever else you're doing.It's currently free while in beta.
A Trademark is only granted for a narrow field of use. So the headline assertion that King want to monopilize the word "Candy" is wide of the mark. As thaumasiotes states, the purpose is to protect consumers by rogue companies passing off their products in an attempt to deceive. All trademark applications are inspected before grant, that inspection being focussed on what is right for the average consumer, not for the company making the application, nor its competitors. In this case, imho, the trademark is legitimate. A quick scan of many of the objectioners shows that they are clearly aiming to deceive the average consumer.
An exchange set up by an anonymous legal entity, with no physical presence or accountability, and without approval from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Chancers like this are more likely to discredit and kill Bitcoin than promulgate its mainstream acceptance.
Most of my todo items come to me as emails, so I wanted something that lives within my Gmail. I managed this in three steps...
1/ I created a label called "todo"
2/ I made this a section in my Gmail priority Inbox so it's always displayed
3/ I created a filter to fire on emails sent to
[email protected], and label them as todo.
So I can just label an email as todo, or send myself an email to [email protected]
