On: Play framework 2.10 released

[satoimo]

Love it. Exquisitely type safe. Just one thing: Weren't we supposed to get WAR deployment support in 2.1?

[eeperson → satoimo]

They haven't done this because the Servlet 3.1 spec has not been released yet. Play 2 supports some features that cannot be supported with Servlet containers <3.1 (probably stuff like web sockets). However, there is a 3rd party plugin that provides this functionality (as long as you avoid the unsupported features): https://github.com/dlecan/play2-war-plugin

I'd be really impressed if they open sourced SecDB/Slang.

Does this mean Visual Studio is going to run discovery queries in order to provide auto complete?

From the linked article: "The type provider connects to the database automatically and uses this for IntelliSense and type information".

On: "Silverlight is f-ing dead"

[satoimo]

Whether it's labelled Silverlight, WPF or something else is secondary: Xaml and .NET is will be a first class development environment on Windows 8, as was shown today.

On: The Node Beginner Book, an introduction to Node.js, is now complete

Sure it's just sample code, but I spilled my coffee when I saw this:

  function sleep(milliSeconds) {     var startTime = new Date().getTime();     while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + milliSeconds); }

Someone likes feeding the garbage collector.

Did you see that it's just code to demonstrate blocking, i.e., to demonstrate how to NOT do it?

Getting tail recursion right IS hard.

Would the Android developer community have reacted the same way?

On: UltraEdit text editor for Mac - Now Available

[satoimo]

Who is this app meant for? Windows converts who haven't discovered Textmate, Sublime, or BBEdit?

[mfukar → satoimo]

Well, it's passing as a 'Notepad Replacement' in its Product page..
