I work at a ~1200 person company, been using GWT since I think 2012, before I joined. It's a mixed bag - it's clunky as hell sometimes, and we have been iteratively replacing it with React in places. Buuuut at the same time I'm often marveling at how amazing it is what they accomplished getting Java->JS compilation working like that. It's a very productive framework if you know how to actually use it. And that's tough to do

I think you wrote the announced and effective dates twice. Effective date being 31 of January as far as I can tell. The whole point of Docker monetizing Docker Desktop is so that they can continue to be funded to maintain the base images themselves. That's the primary sell point of DockerHub.

How does "focus follows mouse" work? If I'm understanding; your desktop is a collection of various sizes windows, maybe overlapping and stacking. If your mouse goes off the side of the one you're focusing, it will auto focus the one you're now hovering over. Won't this lead to accidents where you'll have a larger window suddenly gain focus, with no way to see the old one and re-focus it? Seems easy to make a mistake.

This maybe would be solved by a window manager that enforces never allowing windows to stack depthwise? Which OSX doesn't have of course. Just size-and-position-hotkey workarounds

Cool project! Made me actually check out Crystal Lang - looks like a much nicer, modern version of Ruby without the cruft.

Found a straggler "CrystalVue" substring in the main .cr file, you should give 'er the old find-and-replace all to change them.

Wouldn't this just make password crackers easier? If there's a Regex of what passwords are okay, it lowers the search space.

To save (potentially rate limited) requests, the ripper software could compare the regex against a candidate password and skip it altogether.

It's like expressing in machine-readable form how many/which characters they can skip.

I have limited experience with Keyboard Maestro but I do have some with AppleScript. It lets you do as you described, get windows, titles, UI elements. However this only works on native apps, you cant, for example, click a button on a webpage with a CSS selector or by scanning pixels of the window, ad far as I know. Can AHK do that? That would be super useful

Lack of features hasn't stopped C from being an extremely useful and prolific language.

Your last sentence, to me, reads as a pro rather than a con. C + coroutines - bad_syntax = Great language to me.

Mind you, I don't use Go in a professional setting, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I'm not sure I entirely agree - Facebook is mostly login-walled anyway and they developed React to suit the needs of a data intensive SPA. Why not just use a robots.txt to stop crawlers from indexing?

I still wouldn't say "most people" can't access Pirate Bay. Install uTorrent, click the magnet link. Easy as that.

The very small subset of the population who live in a area where govt has blocked Piratebay can just use a VPN (which they likely already are for stuff like YouTube and Netflix).

Ones that take up space are kind of annoying, I agree. I like IntelliJ's solution: mark with green, or yellow for additions and changes. It's a 1px line next to the line number, and also it's in the "minimap" type of view so you can jump right to where your changes are in a large file.

I think you are overreacting here, his comment was definitely not interpreted as sarcastic. Quite the opposite, it was showing appreciation for what an achievement QuickJS is.

Bearden was CEO of Hortonworks since 2012, almost 7 years before the Cloudera acquisition. Before that, Springsource for 4.

I don't know Singh's reasons behind getting out, but Bearden doesn't seem to play the short game often, he's more of a long-term Open Source strategist.
