And how is HTML any better? This is a good example : http://fb.html5isready.com/ a fairly sophisticated facebook application in HTML. It's barely usable on my Lumia 920 (IE10), barely usable on my BlackBerry Z10 (webki

Me too. I believe somewhere between 2003-2005. I have even browsed the archived match reports from cups on ClanBase a few months ago to see what I have been up to in the past :) Good times.

Dropwizard is pretty great, but one unfortunate aspect is that it's stuck with Jersey 1.x for JAX-RS and as a result is missing some nice features, like async responses, etc.

Does it mean it's limited to running only pure Java android applications that don't rely on any native extensions? Seems like BlackBerry 10's Android Runtime had this exact limitation but is now being improved to address this

So I've watched the video review and I can't help but notice how chaotic is the new PS4 user interface. I am not really a fan of the current PS3 store design, it looks like they have taken the same approach to the overall UI on PS

Durandal and Knockout make a great combination for SPA applications. My only gripe about Knockout is that some of the useful built-in utilities (ko.utils) are not officially documented anywhere and of course the observable syntax can get un

Here's a video of a continuous upgrade from ms-dos through every windows version all up to windows 7 (a timespan of ~20 years) that proves it's possible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14

Sure, at this point HTML/CSS has grown to accomodate many features. But there's a lot of ugly and non-obvious cruft that has been inherited over the ages and it won't change soon. Perhaps a tool can bundle resources, but in t

HTML/CSS is generally quite flexible when it comes to operations on text. No surprise since it was its intended purpose to be a format for documents. Making any layouts and god forbid centering elements has always been a headache for m

Could you give more details as to how you develop with Python? Is it done via PySide? My impression was that you could only use C++/Qt, HTML5/JavaScript or Adobe AIR for BB10. I plan to get a Z10 soon with the intention to port an applicat

Samsung should have made their Bada smartphones eligible for an upgrade to Tizen as the OS is supposedly capable of running Bada apps. This would at least establish a user base. Instead all of Bada adopters got screwed badly. I don't think

While I can't test the demo as I don't have an iOS or Android device around I don't think this is anything special. It's been done already, see for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brassmonke...

Ruby block syntax may have been inspired by Smalltalk, but this is where the similarities end. Ruby block implementation is simply awful (an afterthought?), and no way near as powerful (and simple) as the equivalent in Smalltalk.

Is there any concise typescript reference around? The playground doesn't showcase that much features. The language specification while extensive is not that great as a cheatsheet.

F# already runs on Mono and is open source. Seems like it's not the case. Very interesting. There's a mention of "independent".

To me, the biggest deal breaker is that having a Windows Phone developer account doesn't let you release applications for Windows 8. It's a shame because many people including me could at least port some of their apps. An additional 99$/ye

Can anyone recommend a good setup for Mono? In my tests, mono-fascgi + nginx has been extremely slow at handling requests. Wanted to give this a spin some time ago, as well as ASP.NET MVC, but I couldn't get decent performance on linux.

Why? There is a Manifest file where you specify the features your application is using. I would imagine that if you leave out the new, hardware dependent stuff it should run just fine? You can do something similar already by opting out from

I agree. I was exposed to C#/XAML a few months ago by building a WP7 Application. It takes some getting used to, but when you get the basics it's great. I'd kill to have something similar instead of HTML/CSS (which is just awful in comparis

Complex? For some certain tasks perhaps it's verbose, but I do like that the API is structured in a Java-like way. With wrappers like these I need to constantly consult the docs to find out what arguments to pass to the constructors. With t

I did a switch in a reverse direction. From Ruby to Python. People actually shouldn't compare both languages in terms of language constructs and what or what not they got right. They are similar enough that it doesn't matter. What matters i
