This is perhaps the best (most terse and accurate) summary of XML tradeoffs I've seen in years. I generally don't just comment "attaboy" but there you go.

To me, this two-way sync'ing is the killer feature of Zube (from my short usage so far), along with its Trello-like card metaphor for issues as a value-added layer. Just having the real-time filtering on issues is a huge win. Change

Good to see the Webkit team (mostly Apple) continue putting serious energy into JS performance. Take a bit of guts to throw out the whole LLVM layer in order to get compilation performance... It's also encouraging to see them opening u

I wonder if anyone has dumbed down Mead's thoughts on quantum physics for non-physicists? I'd sure love to learn more. Very intriguing.

How does this differ from DabbleDB, which seemed to have all this and more? (Sadly went nowhere and subsumed by Twitter.)

Agreed. Ran postfix + cyrus + DSPAM for years and dreaded dealing with spam every day--couldn't get DSPAM to really work reliably, so had to fish out ham daily, and mark a lot of spam. Never really invested the time to learn the ins an

I still like Burt Rutan's take on the AGW question ( http://rps3.com/Files/AGW/EngrCritique.AGW-Science.v4.3.pdf ). He looks at it as an engineer, using generally-accepted data. His conclusion is that the alarm
