I don't really feel like being the next Perl is a bad thing, contrary to the article's premise. However, the author is making a lot of unbacked and sensational claims. I feel inclined to comment on each part. > everyone hates [Perl] be

I had the same fear as you, initially. It's true that there are a lot of possible devices, versions, screen sizes etc. But in all reality, you mostly need to care about 2-3 devices. - OS: Android 2.2/2.3 and 4.x. (Rest doesn't matter, hones

Interesting. I would love to hear more about your experience and that point of view. Do you have a blog?

Since when is 85% satisfying? If there's a 17-18% increase in downloads out there by simply using a slightly different API and memory technique (not being able to use weak references), then I'd say it's worth it.

Too bad it's iOS >= 5 only.. That basically makes this unusable for me.

You would think that they'd be able to measure these things. How hard can your flavor of a/b testing (or bandit testing for the bros) be to implement for a company like Craig's list. It's just pure laziness and I'm sure the right talented t

I would split it up like this. Pros: - You don't have to manage your own git server setup, certs, securing the server etc. (probably better uptime than your own server would have) - Github's issue tracking and the wiki are usable - You can

Of course I am not familiar with your background, but I wonder what you base that opinion on. What Android device did you own and use that had such a bad implementation of the back button?

That's a good point and I agree. That was my experience as well at first, but then I realized that there is a certain pattern to the way americans communicate, and it goes something like this: - First state the positive aspects that you lik

I don't really understand or appreciate what makes this framework better than something like Backbone, Spine or Sproutcore. Or to put it in another way: What problem does this solve that Backbone/Spine/Sproutcore don't solve as well?

I use DDG as my main search engine and I'm a native Icelandic speaker. I search for Icelandic content every now and then and rarely have problems with DDG results. The biggest difference stems, not from a limit on the language, but a simple

There is precisely nothing new about this idea, even though this code might be fresher. It would be interesting to hear how this thing addresses some of the shortcomings of the other inline editing components out there and how this is bette
