Having trouble installing the latest stable version of tmux?

I know, official package for your OS/distro is outdated and you just want the newest version of tmux.

Well, this script should save you some time with that.

  In Virtual Machine Settings -> Hardware -> Network Adapter, click Advanced... button. I usually modify the MAC address to 00:11:22:33:44:55 for convenience.

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

(by @andrestaltz)

So you're curious in learning this new thing called Reactive Programming, particularly its variant comprising of Rx, Bacon.js, RAC, and others.

Learning it is hard, even harder by the lack of good material. When I started, I tried looking for tutorials. I found only a handful of practical guides, but they just scratched the surface and never tackled the challenge of building the whole architecture around it. Library documentations often don't help when you're trying to understand some function. I mean, honestly, look at this:

Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])

Projects each element of an observable sequence into a new sequence of observable sequences by incorporating the element's index and then transforms an observable sequence of observable sequences into an observable sequence producing values only from the most recent observable sequence.
