FireFox has an add-on Tab History : "links opened in a new tab retain their history". Although it doesn't tell you which link on the previous page you clicked, it does help.

That is amazing. Do you have any links that show that the factors causing it are likely to continue; and/or if there is a bottom-out/saturation point? I tend to think Moore's Law is the exception, not the rule, and it's only technologies ba

Quick Question: was there any fallout when your removed your "badge" implementation (from people who'd earnt a badge)? Fear of this makes me reluctant to try new things, but I think it's good to try them. Did you do something to handle this

Someone told me a few years back that when Moore's Law dropped the price of sequencing to the point that a garage startup could afford it, everything would change. Article says it's $5,000 per species (in bulk). Not that far off.

It's also acknowledging that our thinking is partly shaped by our terms. If you think in terms of Java, you might not see an elegant functional solution. If you think in Haskell, you might not see an elegant imperative solution. The known u

Writing a de/serializer is pretty straightforward, the only slightly tricky bit is handling graphs (you record each object, associated with a label; when you encounter it again, you serialize a ref symbol to its label). It sounds like a w

To check I understand: you need to deserialize objects, and you also want to pass in some arguments to some of those objects, so that their initialization is based on both the serialized data and the arguments? Is that to do with currying (

The actual writing of code is the easy part of programming; it's the conceptual solving of problems that is difficult. If you think in terms of any particular language, you are limited by those terms. Possibly, he's partly upset about the t

BTW: There's a super-fast approach to serialization involving pointer twiddling : you save the raw memory, and when you load it back, just adjust the pointers for its new location (heard from Andy Hunt). This doesn't help you if you want t

True, reflection is slower than regular access - though JOS does a fair bit of caching to avoid some of the cost (for when you serialize many instances of the same class). I think your experience with rewriting as Externalization shows that
