Wow, I wrote some code just yesterday that consumes RSS-feeds thinking I was forever alone - guess I was wrong :)


for lang { when Perl { say "Not interested" } }


If they could review webfont rendering in Chrome on Windows overall I would be so happy - it really is much worse than FF, IE and Edge.


I have difficulty viewing very thin text, and unfortunately the way Chrome renders common fonts like 10-12pt Arial and Verdana makes me strain my eyes. Firefox and Edge work okay for me.


As a fellow swede I just don't agree with anything you have to say. Outing politicians who are ranting online is fair game as far as I'm concerned. The Sweden Democrats attract racists and their roots are racist, there's just no way to deny that - they mostly follow the same neo-fascist agenda of similar parties throughout Europe.


>Outing politicians who are ranting online is fair game as far as I'm concerned.

I don't see how that has anything to do with that Expressen did to ordinary non-political citizens.

>Expressen har kartlagt chefer, företagare och en docent som hatar anonymt på Avpixlat.

> - Det som ni håller på med är helt avskyvärt. Ni försöker bara hindra folk från att rösta på Sverigedemokraterna, säger Jim Olsson, 67, docent i fysikalisk kemi.

Translation:

>Expressen has researched and tracked managers, entrepreneurs and a docent who hates online at Avpixlat [immigrant focused news site, according to big media a hate-site, my annotation]

>- What you are doing is despicable. You are trying to stop people from voting on the Sweden Democrats, says Jim Olsson, 67, docent in physical chemistry.

Disclaimer: I dont vote nor sympathize with the Sweden Democrats, i just find this gestapo/social-shaming behavior despicable by one of Swedens largest news-papers.


So you believe that people should be allowed to express their opinions being anonymous? If yes, why should that not be the case for politicians?


There is a public interest issue when politicians says one thing to the voters and another behind closed doors.


But that is the exact same thing as saying people should not be allowed to speak up anonymously. Either you are anonymous or you are not.


I'm not arguing against anonymity, i am arguing that there is a ethical difference between releasing information about that there's a difference between what a politician says publicly and what the politician really thinks, and the same situation with a private citizen.

A politician wants to change the laws and circumstances for our lives, and he/she gets a mandate to do that by convincing the voters that they have aligned interests.


Alright I understand and I agree.

In this case though it was mostly normal citizens who weren't politicians and they used illegal methods in order to gain personal information about them.


Agreed, and that is despicable.


I hoped to find something about "the stack" as in "full stack development" (DB, middleware, frontend etc) because _that_ stack also needs some sorting out.


That hipstor buzzword hardly deserves "THE" in front of it.


Clearly TFA is just linkbait for a query tool which costs 249 USD/month/user.


This clearly looks like very basic PR and makes me wonder if the upvotes are fake here.


It's really amazing how all MS-related posts still seem to attract the people wearing tinfooil hats. Not saying there's no truth in there but, you know, just sayin'.


And then there's vagrant. I switched back to MS because C# and profit, all other dev is on vagrant boxes which actually made things easier as I tend to be more comfortable with that what I push will work as I have the same *nix setup on my 127.0.01 as on remote.


True, I had not thought of that. Any shortcomings?


Vagrant under VirtualBox is a little slow, but taking the time to set up WinNFSd is very worthwhile for real file I/O gains. If you want to pay for VMWare + VMWare's Vagrant plugin, you'll get even better performance.


Supposedly you can also use Hyper-V which is included by default on Windows 8 and later. But since the time I found that I didn't yet have a need for vagrant again.


I'm currently on Win10 Home, but I use Vagrant so extensively that it's probably worth an upgrade (besides that, it provides a lot of other great features, anyway).


FYI v4 source is AGPL. They're not very good at mentioning it on the main site though. (https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack)


Thanks, I didn't even see that. The site lists 'free' only for a limited featureset (like 10 requests it seems?). That'll let me check it out at least.


V3 may also be suitable for you as well and is completely free BSD/MIT licensed and is supported by a active community on GitHub. V4 is essentially V3 w/about a years extra work on top. Dennis is the creator of ServiceStack and it is now his full-time job, income supports him in implementing features that corporations - like yours - need.

ps. condolences about the "if it's not from microsoft it doesn't exist", there exists many companies with better cultures. Outliers like you are worth their weight in gold.


Yeah, they ought to put it on GitHub and accept pull requests.
