How exactly do you expect build any automated tooling around your ecosystem of raw socket applications? For example: indexing You're going to need something that solves the problems HATEOAS solves when it comes to multi-service coordination

This is not how the Dropbox API works at this moment. There is no mechanism to push updates to your application. Only the desktop client gets async updates. It will be a glorious day when such an API exists. But don't hold your breath, it's

Also this seems like a good way to spread the connections of investors and startups beyond the standard hubs. ( Coming from the little state of Iowa that sounds like a VERY good thing to me. )

Sounds like a great idea, I'm working on my product/demo right now. And even if I was just getting told one or two things a week I already know I feel like this would be a good booster for me. Hope you get a ton of volunteers :)

I don't see anything to deal with conflicts and operations crossing each other on the wire. The sort of thing that Operational Transformation deals with.

Almost everybody seems to miss the mark in the "What do you do?" type questions. What do you think it is about these interviews that prevents them from describing it in the way you want them to? Or do you try to make everybody be more speci

I try not spend too much time on semantics at the transformation level. There are already hundreds of cases that must be understood transformed just to handle concurrent operations on an XML document. If you want the transformer to handle

I agree with the sentiments on OT. It really ought to be baked into everything. It has features you want, such as undo/redo, collaborative editing and optimistic locking. I've been working on an OT implementation for the past few weeks. It

Yup, it's all about DNS and links. But let's try to look more than a few years out for once? OKAY? You could make a very decent web that is made out of many clients, that can all link to each other and maybe even all run in separate tabs of

Poorly written and quite long winded. By the time the author arrives at his second argument he's lost steam.

Seems weak and confused. There are some good arguments to be had around readability, writability and when to focus on what. Those are not here.

I think you could come up with some sort of patent truce, you use a search engine that finds overlapping patents. The truce comes with a constitution/trust that declares some metrics for that search engine. Any patents that go over that met

I think it sounds like a wicked clever idea. It also sounds like a recipe for bad-blood in the open source world. It emphasizes owning a repo rather than contributing to one that already exists. It also seems to push for over utilization of

I'd say recognizing the problem is good. If you don't want to lose confidence I'd spend every waking hour between now and your sit-down finding a passionate mobile developer. On the other hand, just because your programmer became more excit

What is so clever about a nil object check? I suppose if you're using it to make skirting the "Law of Demeter" and thats something you don't want to do it could seem like something bad. But I'll take "foo?.bar()" over "foo.bar() if foo" gla

"Just like JavaScript but nicer to type." was a decent pitch to make CoffeeScript sound safe. But it's become so much more. And you get past the simplicity of that pitch quickly if you use CoffeeScript earnestly. Going through the Table of

I see this: Google was a happy accident because of the web. Given the trajectory of Apple, where would the web be in 10 years if Google wasn't throwing everything, and clearly they are doing so, at keeping their platform alive. Android is a

The Rack style API is nice for the simplicity. I <3 it. The Rack style api is NOT a great representation of the HTTP protocol. Specifically anything with a streaming or chunked response. start_response/yield may not be the absolute best

I would suggest working out a deployment strategy that is portable, or at least prepare for more than one scenario. If this is a one day event and you have a PR cost for it you can't afford to be in a situation where you can't deliver based
