So you're basically saying it's better to re-implement the API, with everything it implies: * examining the docs * taking care of error handling * coming up with an easy to use developer interface * keeping it updated if the API calls were

And I agree. This was more on the experimentation side (my main driver was to experiment with the Expose algorithm), and almost exclusively a weekend project. It does have some interesting use cases, but to drive your entire application wit

Well, for one thing, AFAIK Node right now doesn't work on Windows. This effectively brings (albeit a limited) Node.JS to Windows users. And also, considering how HN is crazy about experimental languages, compilers, frameworks and combinatio

Have you taken a look at admissibility-based transformations (ABT) [1]? It seems to solve the issues that concern you (validating the correctness of OT). [1] http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1713726

"According to an insider [10], in 6 months since the projects’s launch the possibility of working with partial histories is not implemented yet; pages are bootstrapped with their complete histories." What I will concede is that their OT imp

Didn't read the entire paper, but the criticism on Google Wave is poor, baseless and subjective. "The authors even had to enrich XML with additional entities named “annotations” to make it suitable for their needs" This is what Etherpad did

OT is not patch theory. Google already had a patch-based approach (currently used in Bespin): http://code.google.com/p/google-mobwrite/ , which was replaced with OT. No diffing algorithms are used, even for producing the operations (which

But this is an implementation based on open web standards. It'll eventually work on mainstream Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and maybe (if <canvas> is supported and planets align) IE9.

I think it's a fantastic result. Very useful for including screenshots in blog posts without sacrificing too much quality, but clearly decreasing size.

There's a good article by Tolmasky addressing this here: http://www.alertdebugging.com/2009/11/04/mockingbird-cappucc... Bottom line is that the scrolling is beautiful and works well, why would users not like it?

Btw, we like to say ORM-like because ORM is a concept for relational databases[1], and MongoDB is not one. However, if you're used to working with ORMs, you'll feel at home with Mongoose. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-relational_

The problem is that there's no consensus on how certain features work and their syntaxes/properties. What -css3- property would we have for gradients if we have -moz-linear-gradient[1] and -webkit-gradient(linear, [...])[2] Of course, I thi

Async previewing of the detected links before sending would be nice (which is, imho, the nice thing about Facebook status form) Good work nonetheless, I'm looking forward to using oEmbed through embed.ly soon.

He makes good points though. Avatar did cause dizziness for me, for example. And at times I had a hard time focusing my eyes on the right things to get the 3D effect. I surely hope it's not the future of movies!

I disagree. The argument is that it's under constant change and discussion. This is true for every single part of the development stack. It's important to just get it out there and iterate in response to what developers are _doing_ with Web
