I love docker-compose, it is to services what npm is to packages.

That said, I'm only using it in development. For production there's so many options I don't even know where to begin: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18287169/3557327

One problem with commercial releases is overlocalization. Watchers too have background knowledge (Japan mythology or food for example) and sometimes there's a dissonance in what you hear and what they mean. Pokemon calling rice balls donuts[0] comes to mind.

Satoshi Kon is one of my favorite anime directors. I wonder if his last work, Dreaming Machine, will ever see the light of day.
Re:Implement arrow functions in v8 on Thursday June 18, 2015 @11:55AM (#9739392)
Yeah like the others said it binds this to the scope where it was defined. So something like this works as one would expect:

    setTimeout(() => this.someMethod(), 1000);

They are a compact way to write anonymous functions in Javascript, so instead of

    var square = function (a) { return a * a;}
You can write:

    var square = a => a * a;
Also, do Teslas have enough autonomy to travel each of those distances?
Re:ES6 in Depth – Symbols on Friday June 12, 2015 @03:25PM (#9708022)

    s1 = Symbol("cat");
    s2 = Symbol.for("cat");
    s3 = Symbol.for("cat");
    s1 == s2; // false
    s2 == s3; // true
You can still have Symbols outside the registry.
Looks like a mix of Python and Yml just like how QML is a mix of Javascript and Yml

Did you tell anybody about it?
Maybe they don't have the luxury to complain that much.
Maybe assign a color to each participant and make the lines each draw have a slight shine of their color? or color it on mouseover.

Isn't it common in Restaurants to leave the money in a tray?

Something much more weird I think is the money envelopes. I once took classes by a Japanese lady who, the day before we would pay for the next month, gave us these envelopes the size of a bill and asked us to bring the money in them, said that Japanese never hand money directly, always in envelopes. The next day she took the envelopes and didn't even open them to count the money.

Re:GitTorrent: A Decentralized GitHub on Friday May 29, 2015 @02:17PM (#9626332)
I guess the projects that can't be on github won't mind the GUI challenges as long as they have some way to have a central repository without having to maintain a server on their own.

Re:Three Years of Logging My Inbox Count on Thursday May 28, 2015 @02:18PM (#9620027)
I'd say gmail labels are more like premade searches (with the added bonus of the unread count). I tend to move every email I expect into it's own label with filters and the "inbox" is just for the unexpected stuff.
It's funny Meteor actually has this problem upside down and are trying to add a way to have server side rendering.

Re:Popcorn Time in Your Browser on Tuesday May 19, 2015 @11:56AM (#9571036)
Paradoxically, torrenting sometimes is the only way to get an obscure show/movie they don't even sell anymore. I'll take few seeders over nothing at all.
So if I close my browser I have to start downloading all over?

The reason I like torrents over regular downloads is that I can pause and resume at any point. In the browser it's not always reliable.
