If I understand correctly this is to Java what Gevent/Eventlet are to Python. Asynchronous execution without having to write asynchronous code.

I've been doing this in Python for a long time and I love it, even though it can lead to some hard-to-debug issues (due to monkeypatching).

Great idea! Some feedback:

- Too much info required to start (you should streamline signup, job title shouldn't be mandatory IMO)

- Creating a new message should be fast! Meaning:

   - title, body & content should be optional, why can't I just send a video?

   - clicking Save should automatically upload video - right now video is ignored if Save is clicked mid-recording

I have enjoyed using C# for the odd desktop app project here and there, but haven't been able to use it much since it used to be Windows only. It's great that it's finally becoming a real option for cross-platform software!

Microsoft has some really smart people working on C#, which shows in how the language has evolved into a much more pleasant form than Java has.

I felt the same way at first, but I got used to it very quickly. Now I can't switch back, all the other fonts seem bloated and wasting screen real estate.

In fact, it's so much more space efficient that I can fit three code files side by side where I used to be able to fit two.

At Zemanta, we developed py-secretcrypt[0] and go-secretcrypt[1] for keeping secrets encrypted with Amazon KMS (Key Management Service) in our repos. They are then decrypted on the fly by the application.

Access control is managed through AWS KMS key policies, with EC2 instances running the applications having permissions to decrypt the secrets.

Blog post about this will follow soon.

Free speech does not give you the right to hate speech. The title is misleading, because they only agreed to remove hate speech only, not all anti-immigration comments.

EDIT: To clarify, hate speech is for example speech inciting doing harm to others. As a concrete example, in the heat of the refugee crisis, I was regularly seeing calls to arms to go shoot all the refugees at the borders on my Facebook wall. It made me cringe.
