I wrote a node-webkit ( since renamed to nwjs ) application for our salespeople last year, and node is pretty good, webkit seems out of date, but javascript is painful.

It amazes me how many jobs have become web programming jobs, primarily in languages most programmers hate.

When it comes to race issues in the US geography has always been more important than political party. This Civil Rights' vote is probably the clearest indicator of that. Today the democratic party likes to act as if they passed it, but the southerns from both parties were overwhelmingly against it. Fortunately there were more voters that were not southern ( at least in the confederate meaning of southern ).
  • -- The House :
  • Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
  • Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)

  • -- The Senate:

Submission + - Mercedes-Benz Copies Tesla, Plans To Offer Home Energy Storage

cartechboy writes: It's like a game of follow the leader. First, Tesla announced its Powerwall Batteries, and now Mercedes-Benz plans to follow suit by entering the energy-storage business as well. A division of parent company Daimler has been testing battery packs that can power houses, and plans to launch commercially in September. Supposedly a battery pack for "light industrial, commercial, and private" use is being tested with sizes ranging from 2.5 kWh to 5.9 kWh. While Tesla's building a massive Gigafactory to make all its batteries for its Powerwall and electric cars, it's unclear exactly how Daimler plans to produce its batteries in a larger-scale energy-storage operation. Will Daimler build a battery factory of its own, or is this a ploy to steal some headlines from Tesla while the topic is hot?
