Is there a perspective to looseleaf getting a couchdb or mongodb backend ?

Is there a similar resource for Android ? I don't currently own one, but this kind of writeup would be helpful to estimate the effort to get into developing first things for it..

If this guide stays popular on HN for a bit, I will strongly consider (read: will) research it and write one up.

Oh that's nice. Looking forward to reading it.

Rotating text by 3 degrees is the new marquee (or blink ?).

Is this about tracking via cookies only, or cookies in general ? Does it mean I have to ask for consent to use ganalytics as well ?

There are some lawyers in Germany that already now presume that Google Analytics is illegal: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2009/11/24/google-analytics-illegal.... And due to the German "Abmahnung" law (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abmahnung) it's rather easy for them to "fine" you if you use it anyway: "One German lawyer that gets cited in the article says the penalties could amount up to €50,000 (about $75,000) per website that uses Google Analytics to keep track of its visitors’ usage patterns."

Good. User tracking is antisocial and Google is one of the worst offenders.

They are not suing Google. They are suing website owners using Google Analytics without consent from the users. They tried to reach an agreement with Google first.

how is google analytics not a form of tracking?

If you build those simple 1-file-testservers with node, simply write them in coffee and then start them like "coffee myserver.coffee".

If it's more elaborated, you might want to set up some kind of build process and then use the generated js files. You could use a simple Makefile and compile your coffee files with coffee -c -b.

Oh, i forgot: You can add the --watch switch and get your scripts compiled on save.

I'll try that. Thanks!

The problem is that they don't actually have a braveheart type there. They don't have a leader, and they will reach no progress. Eventually the military will take power and that torture guy Suleiman will become the leading figure. He will choose a couple of opposition 'leaders' to talk to, implement some fake democracy simulation and carry on the game.

It's really nice to believe that something is going to change, but there is no reality to it. Believing in symbols of western democracy like mass demonstrations - fine. Those people need a ruthless leader and a march against the current government though. And they won't have it.

So the perfect setup would be to use your work as alarm, and then wake up and find the work done ? ;-)

I think you're on to something. This must be how the IE developers get things done!

Will 'while' be replaced with 'aslongas' ?

The switch statement isn't being replaced. Perl5 never had a switch statement. Perl6 implemented on as given/when instead of switch/case. The Perl6 switch statement was back-ported to Perl 5.10. The 'use Switch' example in the post was a 3rd party work-around to the lack of a switch statement in the language.

Beyond that, might as well make fun of any differences between languages or just devolve into bickering over indentation/coding style/which line the opening brace should go on/etc.

Maybe you should market Perl as uncool and weird and without annoying yuppies like DHH. ;P
