GWT on AppEngine (which it has great integration for) has a ten second startup time when not loaded, and on the free tier they unload it when not in use, so that's not the greatest.

I used GWT for a while and it would be great for enterprise and large teams. The static typing which I usually love/insist on though, does seem pretty cumbersome for something as simple as a web page. I've switched to scala play for the back end and lots of tiny angular 'apps' on the front, and it's so much faster to develop for.

I've used them all but settled on Themeforest. Yes you can make your own, but why would you when you can choose something that's already well designed for a couple of dollars. Save the design practice for the app itself.

I will only buy / recommend nexus phones. Knowing that the phone will be updated quickly and for a long time is worth a premium, rather than being a cash in strat for Google.

And if you miss a day don't forget to say "serenity now!"

Most countries will, if you declare that you are closing up shop and living in anther another country for more than a year, allow you to cease all involvement with that country (including tax, levies, welfare), and then welcome you back as a citizen when you decide to come home. It's just too complicated otherwise.

I built a tool for visual interpretation of test results against requirements. It was pretty cool and I'm sure large engineering companies would use it if they knew they needed it.

I learned that you should go niche, but find a niche with a problem that customers KNOW they have. Otherwise you have to educate them before even having the chance so closing a sale, which is too expensive.

I'm backing up and making simpler tools for the domain, this one could become an advanced feature for big enterprise.

It's actually all just pointers to data, so when you change something it makes a new node and copies a few new pointers so the new tree is still correct. All of the old data and pointers that aren't changed stay exactly where they are.

I thought it was interesting that they named companies who'd settled.

It would be interesting to make a site isettled.com where people could leak that a company had settled to trolls. The idea being that you'd have to weigh the cost of fighting the troll against the risk of bringing a flood of secondary trolls. If the secrecy was removed it would start to make business sense to fight

So why isn't the repo up to date?

I honestly don't know the answer as I don't deal with Linux repo's much

Actually 'I was just following orders' is not a defence. It's every soldiers obligation to question the moral standing of their orders. An illegal order, such as being told to bomb a church/mosque/hospital is invalid and shouldn't be obeyed.

Obviously it's very hard to have the moral courage to accept being bradley manninged (because some orders come all the way from the top), but the obligation to question orders has definitely been established.

Maybe I'm just optimistic but she must be able to do something productive. Even if it's sewing toys together for children or making sure the elderly don't fall over. To me that's one of the benefits of a basic income, to help people find their niche, as humble as it may be for some

Doing the checks on landing doesn't address security though (rather than just drugs), so the airport checks are definitely pointless from that point of view. It's to show the public that politicians are 'tough on crime', even if they're not entirely committed to actually improving anything

The state gets addicted to the revenue, people spend more time looking at their speedometers instead of the road, and the limits keep going down (instead of becoming more realistic) because the 'think of the children' crowd is just as powerful as ever. Source: Melbourne, Australia

Definitely. If it were a dating game, I'd almost go with 'I don't have an employer, I'm really passionate about software though' and leave it there.

girls.filter( girl => !girl.isGoldDigger ).map(_.reply("how about you?"))

So true, it's the abuses of these laws that really catch the general public's attention, until that happens it's all academic.

And this is a real life example that really strikes home to the heart of all journalists. Short of shutting the entire media down, this can only be a bad move.
