being a singaporean, i have to sadly agree with you on the points.

it's quite bad enough that they keep claiming that they're using the best technology when in fact, they just typically bought it from somewhere else.

It has a quite a bad propaganda which you guys can't even tell from it unless you really think deep about it.

Cars here are so expensive also. On top of that, you need to pay more to "own" the car. For some cars, that cert cost even more than the car itself. Not only that, we have road tax, erp, parking fee, etc, etc whatnot.

Income inequality is quite prominent, even though they claim that they have high GDP. Of course you can say your country has it worst...but hell, you wouldn't claim your country has no beggar if there's someone in the streets picking up cardboard and begging for money, would you?

last but not the least, the population is so dam high and i think like...40% are foreigners? I can't tell who are foreigners anymore.

There are more things that I can think of, but I just end it here in case I get arrested for saying "wrong" things


I would think it is somewhat difficult to define who is a "foreigner" in Singapore. "Born outside the country" might be something you can clearly derive from papers.

But 200 years ago the island had about 1,000 people living there, almost all of them indigenous Malays. Current population of 5.5 million, mostly ethnic Chinese, likely does not have very many who would be descended from them?


>but hell, you wouldn't claim your country has no beggar if there's someone in the streets picking up cardboard and begging for money, would you?

Yes, they would.


staying in singapore

the haze is bad, the highest i've ever seen. first time i ever cough due to haze


so how is this superior/different from other task management system like teamwork, asana, trello, etc, etc...?


it's okay, i don't even know how to find text on iphone safari


>Websites also can't spam you with push notifications the way installed apps can, so I strongly prefer them as a user. But I suspect this is one reason companies like apps

poorly maintained or non-efficient backend that didn't take note of whether the user receive a push or not leads to this problem. It's not the app problem itself totall


will this be the next docker in the nosql database?


I don't even see any connection how could this be the next docker in the nosql world... in other words i didn't get at all what you mean...


What does this mean?


It's nonsensical buzzwords.

I guess the poster's underlying question is "will this database become hyped as the Next Big Thing"


time for me to upgrade!!


can someone explain to me is ES7 tied to the browser version/type, or usually all the popular browsers support it out of the box?

because I couldn't find any information on that


It's complicated. ES6/7 support isn't binary. But sites like this help: http://caniuse.com/


http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/ and http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es7/ are particularly good for ES since it breaks out things into the nitty gritty features, providing the code samples that are tested.


Like other web standards, these things tend to get implemented in a piecemeal fashion according to consensus and demand. By the time the standards are published, much of their content is already implemented in modern browsers.

For example, the ES6 spec was just published a few months ago, so it will still be a year before we see ES7. In spite of that, the async / await capabilities are sufficiently compelling and agreed upon that patches are already being reviewed for Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185106

Kangax's tables, linked in another reply, are a great way to check what the support situation is like across browsers.


so..does S3 objects becomes IA automatically if it's access infrequently, or do we have to do the implementation on our side?


No, but you can configure your bucket to behave that way (and then after even more time move to Glacier if you wish)


You have to state the storage class at object creation time. Prior to this, there was only standard (the default), and reduced redundancy.


i want a smooth game, not a small sized game..
