Another obstacle I think Facebook will eventually run into is the fact that social graphs, to me at least, seem fairly static. I am not a celebrity, and for me, literally ALL of my Facebook friends are people I know in real life. While it

Forget Google Wave.. How is this different from Google Groups?

This is a fairly silly gripe. There is no objective measure for "best," content. Google has done a great job of finding relevant results for a given topic, and as the previous poster pointed out, they are constantly making adjustments to

What we mean by "intelligence," must also be considered. As they are, computers are most useful for solving problems where a solution is known, theoretically, to exist. For example, you know there are articles on the internet concerning Ja

Very nicely worded. Now, can address the OP's concern about security flaws not being fixed? Is security flaw == to Gantt chart request?

Ya, this would be against the ToS.

So then, in your opinion, IS there a difference between a language that is "production," ready, and one that is not? And if so, what is it?
158.
by Husafan 18y ago
Right. Open source languages become popular not by describing and fixing security holes promptly, but by having their super-users analyze patch notes for vulnerabilities, and code around them. The sure fire path to widely used, production

How so? Aren't presentations about a current project's shortcomings/roadmap for improvements pretty standard? I do agree that it speaks well about the developer, but your opinion about whether Ruby currently sucks or not should be informed

My start-up has had an absolutely terrific experience so far with cvsdude.com. If you want a subversion/trac/bugzilla package, the pricing is reasonable and their customer service has been great. Also, if you want to host an open source p

That sounds like a really, really good idea. Thank you.

Before anyone posts another example of word-of-mouth working: the op did not say it doesn't work. He simply listed reasons why it may not work in certain situations.

Fair enough. I see your point and thank you for your patience. If I may give this one last shot: Why is slowness acceptable in a language tuned towards exploratory programming, and therefore an unimportant criteria when judging Arc?

What an interesting blue, gem logo.. I've seen something like that before, but I just can't put my finger on it.. Looks like a neat framework though.

I think your paraphrasing is incomplete. It would be truer to the op's point to say, "Blub does not include an XML parser, therefore Blub is rubbish for exploratory programming with XML documents."

This may be true of facts, but there is no problem with explaining why your opinion is one way and not the other. Unless you are asserting that speed not being important is a fact of exploratory programming, rather than PG's opinion, I see

Why is speed not important? Edit: How is speed not important?

"And we were always far ahead of them in features. Sometimes, in desperation, competitors would try to introduce features that we didn't have. But with Lisp our development cycle was so fast that we could sometimes duplicate a new feature w

Gotcha. Well maybe you could do this asynchronously, after page load? Once the page is done loading, extension fires off for info about links on the page? Assuming this didn't take to long, it might be doable before they clicked a new li

Seems like this should be settable. If I want to be uber-cautious, not rated should default to NSFW. Also, maybe a white/black list of domains the user knows to be safe/unsafe for themselves?

Why do you need to rewrite links to your server? Can your extension not insert JavaScript to do most of this logic client-side?

I love this type of code on code violence. Our machine learning professor had us do several of these in college. Another cool one is Robocode, from IBM alphaworks: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/robocode

Well it sure does sound like something DHH would say.

I very much like the idea. You should consider selling it on an appliance that you've optimized for, a la google search.

Your "(Incendentally, a moment's...)" comment makes me sad. Obviously Roth spent well over a moment reading and contemplating your essay. The fact that you disregard his thoughts so flippantly, along with those of other intelligent people

Concerning this point, it is not necessarily just the mentality. It is worth noting that China has had a government imposed and subsidized industrialization program in place for some time now. India, which is a democracy, is not forcing i

I don't think it bodes well for the clarity of your essay that you're using the beginning of your last paragraph to defend your thesis. Atwood admits that your, "essay does contain some fair points," but he also indicates that he, along wit
