akka (Actor System) too, sjrd is working on it


Akka code written in Scala compiling to Javascript??



My favorite is MS-DOS Prompt, its almost working :)


"dir <dirname>" didn't work. :/


dir is working though, buggy MS as always :P


It's up again


* Added image preview when opening images

My favourite change.


github does that ? a username is inactive for like 3 years but they won't give me the handle.


Yes. It was a while ago. I contacted support, made my request and minutes later I received it. I was shocked but realised they get it!


Thanks dude changed mine too :)


my new github (https://github.com/karan) was taken by another user and was inactive for 5 years. I requested it, and they deleted the account.


Nice!!! I guess you just have to ask and see what they can do for you. For the service I am building I plan to set 120 day rule. Send out message on the 60th, 90th and 110th day. If they don't log in -- bye bye account!


that really depends on the type of service it is. If it is something where user generate content on the account, then reusing usernames could be a bad idea.


I agree but it's a consumer service and the will be notified every 30 days. If not logging in then that are just wasting space!!'


Is there a way we can access the data(small subet say 30-40GB's) without having an AWS account(as it requires a credit card, I'm a student i don't have any) ?


Some of the older data (2009) is available on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/commoncrawl


Thanks a lot. It'll be very helpful i'm sure.


I'm too looking for a guide for Starting in San Francisco, what are the possible ways, Indian Student's can go there and start on there own? How much money do we need beforehand to survive there?


Hope


I don't understand why to use linux(Lack Adobe creative suite and many other softawares though could be run via Wine but with a performance glitch) and Windows(For developers ?? :P) when there is OSX is already doing a very good job.


Not every web developer does web design. If you only code, there's no advantage to using OSX.

Judging from your other comment, you have already picked OSX. If it works better for you thats all that matters, but its silly to pretend that you can't comprehend why other OSs exist. The answer is simple, not everyone likes the same thing.


Agreed but to code as well there are much better alternatives ex. Text mate, although you can use Sublime. And one more thing I'm not judging Linux or windows but I think OS X can be better if all you want is best of both the worlds(my case).


OSX sounds like a good match for you. Honestly, if I had the cash, I would probably get a Haswell rMBP, so I could potentially run all 3 OSs. I'm a security analyst, so its nice to be able to run everything without any compromises.

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough for a rMBP, so I ended up spending a third of the cost of a 13" rMBP on a Thinkpad so I could run a dedicated Linux machine.

That being said, if someone just happens to prefer Linux, you really can't beat a Thinkpad from the T, X or W series'.


Totally agree with you for linux i too preferred Thinkpad.


I recently switched to MBA from Thinkpad because of only one factor ie. the operating system, Other factors are comparable there are some pro's and con's in each device.
