I'm still wishing that we could embed Go into a multithreaded c application, just like we can with the JVM and Mono. I would like to use Go as a "scripting" language. I have seen a thread in the mailing list that someone was working on it o

My thought process goes more along these lines: "I really need this feature, but they won't implement it for me. Okay, dang it! I'll do it myself and show 'em!" Releasing it back to them is just as "egoistic": I don't want them to implement

This is simply because long comments very rarely provide more value than short ones. In fact, I would wager that shortness is a good quality that shows the poster tried to condense his point into its true essence. Example: The parent post c

Well the main page is good but the search results are still overcrowded. The hover-effect on the search results is distracting. It just diverts attention from the results. I doubt many people really read like this: "hover mouse over first r

If I understand correctly, one advantage of il2js should be that all the core .NET libraries won't have to be ported to JS, as the needed library methods get expanded into IL.

Small comment from me: I see this as a dart contender, from what I hear, there is a Visual Studio debugger coming, meaning we will be able to debug c#, but have it walk through javascript on page. Sounds amazing to me, thought I should shar

I don't think that's it, I like to think that many people desire to use C# but that ASP.NET is scaring them off. There are also no success stories of Mono on the serverside. If I use Java, I can rest assured that Google and Twitter have sol

This seems complicated, it would be cool to have something like this for non-ruby guys. If I understand correctly, I need to write a ruby parser myself in order to use this. Much easier would be a binary which just takes all files in a dire

How do you guys deal with the long compilation times? For me, I wouldn't mind C++...if it only compiled faster. Even just two or three C++ files take ~5 seconds to compile on my machine. Is this not an unacceptable amount of time for you,

That modularity is nice in theory, but Dojo gives me 170kb of compressed javascript simply for selecting the fileuploader widget. I saw the same for Google Closure Library by the way - not saying I could write an all purpose js library whic

That's his point..if someone can't write and position two characters of text and have it be cross platform easily, the HTML platform itself has failed. I had a similar thought like the author recently. Flash could have been awesome with a s

No, that is exactly what punishment is for. Punishment is made to influence us humans, because we are the ones who do bad stuff. It is a fundamental principle of the universe that nothing changes unless pressure is applied, so we try to app

Why do you think Redis is the best choice here? Did you benchmark other approaches and databases? What are the disadvantages of using Redis? How specifically does Redis help you make the app realtime? You said you scaled to 10s of thousand

People love getting hung up on definite numbers, it's weird. All fines should be a percentage of income. A parking ticket for a billionaire should be thousands of dollars. Again: the exact number doesn't matter in this discussion, what matt

Yes and that is exactly the point of comments: to make reading code as unnecessary as possible. The base assumption (and reality) should be that every function is working perfectly. People who criticize the existence of too many comments se

Disclaimer: I like Linux. Also very speculative. While people argue over distributions, Gnome 3 is the silent winner. You may not see it now, but in ~2 years the choice of distribution will be mostly meaningless. Because finally: Linux is g

edit: I didn't consider that they may have just randomly picked any category and getting "Developers" was random. It just surprised me, out of ~40 categories.

I'd be more interested in knowing how Tumblr instantly knows just from my email address that I'm interested in following software developers. I didn't share that with them. I hardly use that gmail address for anything outside of google grou

Interesting, his idea about interactive pictures is what was my initial frustration with programming. "Why can't I just make that stuff go?" If you are into games, a solution to interactive picture generation by artists would be akin to a p

It's already like this. The core is called Redhat or Debian, and the fluff is called Fedora and Ubuntu.

Well since you like criticism: 1. Your post was common sense material and provided me with no further necessary info to even see it in context (of your launch) Which link did you post to HN? 2. You disabled the standard scroll bar, I can't

No IDE support, no VM in Chrome yet, also no support for calling existing javascript libraries. These three things guarantee no quick adoption. I have no idea what Google is thinking.

Well I'd like a search function. I'm sure it's possible somehow, you need cameras everywhere and / or microships in everything.
