That's a valid opinion, but I can't say I agree (and I imagine you would be surprised if I did). There are plenty of reasons why Objective-J is a good idea, but the single most important one in terms of readability is the structure it adds.

Google does an above average, and often good job, at actual usability challenges. But they are pretty universally bad at making things that people would consider beautiful. Chrome gets usability issues right. Things like their tab closing b

The argument that California's policies must be bad, regardless of the fact that they've produced the strongest private sector in the country, is equally fallacious.

Fair enough, but do they collect their own aerial data? I was under the impression it's all collected through by third parties. Also, do they use anything other than satellite imagery right now? Is LIDAR effective at that range?

But presumably they aren't driving through most of the forests, right?

I think the intent was to say that if the professor had a reasonable belief that the test bank was secured and not accessible to students, then they probably should have had that same belief, and not used it as a source. I don't necessarily

He states very explicitly that his examples weren't any kind of standard, as one doesn't truly exist at that level. I think the point he was trying to get across, and really what a lot of people who are advocates for REST are trying to acco

That's exactly what they are doing. Facebook has a 24% market share, according to the article, which is "nearly twice as large" as any competitor.

What ways would you envision for interactivity in addition to separate pages?

You can resize by dragging the handles at the bottom, right, and bottom-right edges. You can also use the chrome/safari full page zoom option to zoom out, the application keeps working fine (though there are a few slight rendering errors).

Not really sure to what extent Node is embracing coffeescript, unless there's news I haven't read you could link to.

Completely agree, and I'd definitely recommend an integrated history management component.

I think it actually varies depending on the type of warning, some being considered more severe than others.

I think it's difficult to separate "see if it would work" from having "some effect on its audience" for something so completely focused on its audience. This isn't a hard disk driver, it's software built around the notion of real people int

That's like saying that having more than one grocery store hurts farmers. The farmers choose what price they sell their produce at, and the stores have to choose their own price based on how much profit they need to make on each sale. In ot

To be fair, very little of what's proposed in this project changes any of those points. You can already store data locally using localStorage APIs. You can already cache application content/scripts/resources locally using HTML Manifest file

Which was mainly because we didn't know much about Y Combinator before applying, one of our friends suggested we apply. I think that first demo was written entirely in October 2007, but I can't seem to find our old subversion repository any

I think we're going to see Xcode for Windows before we see iOS running on Macs. In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if there was no more Mac in five years.

I don't think cultishness is inherently bad for a project, you just have to generally ignore the most enthusiastic of the followers.

Well, you own the options after they vest; you exercise options in order to purchase shares. In other words, you own the right to buy shares at a specific price (that's the option), and exercising that right means actually buying those shar

My understanding of what usually occurs in deals like this is that most of the price negotiations happen before LOIs are signed in the first place.

Sometimes that's true. Sometimes the right approach for a project still just getting off the ground is not letting people in for a while. It's easier to realize a vision when you've already got something concrete to point to. Otherwise you

It's very similar to CoffeeScript. It is a strict superset of JavaScript, so all valid JavaScript remains valid Objective-J. You also shouldn't confuse the language (Objective-J) with the Cappuccino framework. Objective-J is just about prov
