There is a big difference between blogs, corporate blogs, and blog advertising. The author is conflating the three and drawing a bogus conclusion.

Yep, it has a distinctly 'mineral vein' appearance to it.

My problem is with the premise of your argument; that being expressive and flexible are more desirable than other traits, and that having those traits make it somehow more applicable to 'real world' applications, whatever those are. I've co

Nice example of RoR user blinders.

You can't charge what the water 'cost', it was thousands of years of filtering into the underground aquifers. And it is too late, the water has been used. Same problem with any non- or slow replenishing natural resource that we've been boo

http://codepen.io/ has evolved to something like that. Live samples, likes and looks, and a code viewer.

They didn't allocate it, you did. Most people are not on large screens. First they were uncommon, then just as wide screens became normal, so did small screen handheld devices, like what I'm on right now lying in bed sunday morning.

My three daughters go to doyogako (Saturday Japanese language school) which follows the standard curriculum which is why I knew. I haven't seen them use the kuku though. I'm actually working with the youngest on flashcards right now. I've a

This is cool but not a part of any standard curriculum in Japan despite the title.

We did the same sort of thing in the pkzip source code 20 years ago. There were a number of pointless routines in the program that would be clear evidence of code theft. These days I suppose an optimizing compiler would be smart enough to s

This is a pretty thin 'comparison' with dedicated servers being given only a cursory mention and no analysis and VPS not covered at all.

Was the first thing to come to my mind as well. Used it every day in the mid to late 80s.

Very useful though when doing the 90% of code work that isn't composing new stuff from scratch. A real gift for people doing lots of code review. As you say great support for issues would go a long way toward that.

If you into it you will find tea is popular with monks for sustaining meditation. Tea has more than caffeine, there are other useful compounds as well. Much better for focus than coffee. If you are good at power naps (i.e. can drift off in

It is very lame. I take it as a sign that the people behind it would likely have mis-managed things. The failure to keep an eye on things, or find that last push that was needed, is a red flag.

Disappointing to see such FUD in today's landscape. What MS is doing is in almost every way an improvement for the vast majority of the population.

The learning curve is shockingly short to a semblance of utility because of this.

There is already a node.js analogue that runs on .net and hosts .net https://github.com/jacksonh/manos Hasn't been updated in a long time. Not sure why it isn't getting any love, maybe something better came along. Seems to me it should be

Yea I kind of which now I had kept the 98. It was working quite well by the time I gave it up, but there were safety related upgrades on the new build that caused me to switch.

So dont go out at noon, but sunscreen turns out to be a bad strategy. Some (most) may be more carcinogenic than the sun they block.

Oddly ms already has/had some sort of 'compiler'. Memory is fuzzy on it, internal use and only used to build one thing, libs for messenger in browser I think.

The author also completely ignores the possibility of a double-sided phone. They've already shown you can have glass on both sides. Now just put another screen under one. ;-)

My first thought when I saw it; I used to have a receiver with a remote of those dimensions. Of course now I have one with a touchscreen remote...
