Great idea! I actually never use TODO states, so this is a blind-spot for me. I should have checked how they export, but did not. Create an issue and I'll fix it.

Cool! Any ideas you have, just create an issue.

Would love to see Google Closure compiler features combined with Webpack features. I want to easily:

- write ES2015 - compile with dead code elimination, static type checking etc, but super fast like webpack - include npm modules easily - include assets using something as simple as webpack's loader

DDoS come from hosts which are part of botnets, usually compromised hosts, from all over the world. Not one country or subnet.

I'm on my 3rd logic board with my early-2011 15". To Apple's credit they covered it every time. I'm confused though.. does this news mean if it happens again, they'll cover it? And if so, for how much longer?

What was the overall makeup of the attack traffic? For example, 50% tcp syn, etc.

This is an ok idea, but go look at the API for iPhoto, Contacts or iTunes and you'll realize it is irrelevant what scripting language is used. Really sucks that Apple doesn't open up their apps to scripting better.

This is cool because as a programmer I found AppleScript difficult to pick-up quickly. However, after a recent foray into writing scripts for iPhoto and iTunes, the api's and documentation of those apps totally turned me off.

I'll be interested once I see some succinct JS to show me most played songs in last week, or recent photos imported from iCloud.

I enjoy dhh articles, but find them a bit hard to understand not being a rubyist. dhh says:

2. Server creates or updates a model object. 3. Server generates a JavaScript response that includes the updated HTML template for the model.

Why does a template need to be updated? Isn't that part of the idea of templates, that they are fixed for changes in the model?

Great memories of Slackware, my first Linux. Slackware CD plus the HOWTO's and I was off. Doubt I'd have become a programmer without that fateful day, circa '94, that my friend freaked me out by showing me a Unix on his home PC and loaning me his Slack cd.

As someone with a disability (quadriplegic), who types/codes with one finger, I find it appalling that Nuance, Apple and Google haven't opened up their speech recognition systems through a rudimentary API that would allow innovation that would _directly_ help the lives of me and many other disabled people whether it's RSI or worse.

I spent a decent amount of time looking at Lamina, and while I liked the concept, the implementation was, imho, a very complex set of macros and dynamically built Java types and interfaces. It did not feel like the "clojure way" and just following the code of a single message send was painful.

Will core.async be similar in it's implementation complexity?

I really get frustrated when I land on a page, and I can't hit space bar to page down.
