I second Flask.

Here's an interesting interview with Joe Duffy: http://www.infoq.com/articles/Joe-Duffy-Safe-Parallelism …

Looks very neat. I'm not sure about the green color for the quick-find popup. I'm used to more contrast there. Otherwise, great work.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they weren't gambling at all. Pavel previously set up contests with monetary rewards about half the same value for developing a mobile VK app for iOS, Android and W…

Technically you're right. I thought that “decided” wasn't the right word to use before you give him a chance to decide. In other words, I read your post as conveying the idea that Pavel acti…

>Telegram seems to be interested in money and power because they've turned down offers from Moxie (the creator of TextSecure and a well-known cryptographer) to join forces. Is there a cause-…

He gets $100 000: https://vk.com/wall-52630202_7858

He's getting $100 000. https://vk.com/wall-52630202_7858

This, a thousand times. Somebody finally expressed this thought politely.

They're paying $100 000. https://vk.com/wall-52630202_7858

>The language barrier has probably been responsible for them getting so many users. What do you mean?

I have no idea what you are trying to say here. The guy is rewarded half the bounty: https://vk.com/wall-52630202_7858

>Terms of bug bounty are very hard to satisfy even with bad protocol but Durov seems decided to play safe with such amount of money. Guy that found problem in MTproto doesn’t win money according t…

>Pavel, I am hopeful that you will reward the chap even though the discovery was not within the "guidelines". it is all about the spirit of the competition. He does reward the chap—with…

He's getting $100 000, and note that the vulnerability he found was outside the first contest's scope. HN seems to hate by default. https://vk.com/wall-52630202_7858 …

Please mind that Telegram team are not native English speakers.

This comment on VK by id1 (Pavel) clearly states he participates in recent HN threads. I think it's fairly safe to assume he is who he is. https://vk.com/roem?w=wall-20537665_2332…

It helps to understand the structure. I was looking for repetitions (and luckily I found a lot), but I needed to look out for things that change between repetitions. I just found the picture I took th…

From my experience, such code is not specific to MS technologies, but is indeed often found in “enterprisey” code, a lot of which just happens to be in Java and C#. And enterprisey code is like that b…

To be more specific, http://thedailywtf.com/Series/CodeSOD.aspx has little snippets like these, but way funnier.…

I've been using it on 5s for two months, and I rarely if ever get a glitch. Two or three times Recents tab in Phone app crashed, but that was it.

What about this kind of code? var x; promise().then(function (result) { x = result; }).done(); x.doStuff(); This is a contrived example, and pretty stupid too. Still, if p…

IIRC Angular's promises are based on stripped down version of Kris Kowal's Q. You may want to check it out: https://github.com/kriskowal/q …

>Because when you do .then() on already resolved promise you have to wait for the next tick, or setImmediate or whatewer. Yield-based implementations can continue right away in this case. Actuall…

By the way, [AbsurdJS][1] is an interesting alternative to Sass/LESS. It lets you write your CSS in JavaScript (and have it compiled to CSS). Thus, you get mixins, variables and plugins without s…

Thanks for the link, I re-read it with much pleasure.
