No hate intended. I wanted to express the disconnect between the stated goal of the project and the unstated positioning that the design and terminology conveys.

Hmm. I guess the N stands for "ninja". Probably full of brogrammers. No thanks.

That's not necessarily true. The Kauffman Foundation is a non-profit whose purpose is to support entrepreneurship. Investing in VC may accomplish that goal, even if the investment loses money. Heck, it may have been worth it from a research

Even if it's not the bottleneck, making it faster will have the effect of making it use less power. We all want longer battery life, right?

Agreed. I use DDG as my default search engine, because most of the time my searches are for the form "find me the web site for X" where X is a thing in the world. I fall back to Google when DDG doesn't give me the result I need (rare, but i

The above is more or less the way exceptions work in Smalltalk. (The elimination of "try" doesn't apply, because Smalltalk has no keywords.) • Not all exceptions are resumable; there's Error is a subclass of exception that can't be resumed.

I wrote a blog post about this a while back: http://www.wiresong.ca/air/2006/10/20/scripting-languages-and-ides Basically it boils down to the semantics of the language. Languages like Java and C# can be well supported by IDEs becaus

Well, Seaside does have explicit code to support the debug link. If you get an exception during rendering, the framework generates a 500 response with a "Debug" link. Clicking the link restarts the previous request, and when it hits the exc

Squeak, Pharo, VisualWorks and Dolphin will all work fine on Windows. Squeak and Pharo (and VisualWorks to a lesser degree) have non-standard UIs that will be (a little) unfamiliar to Windows users. Dolphin's UI should be the most familiar.

Even better is the interaction between the test runner and the debugger. Unit tests are orders of magnitude more useful when you can just open a debugger on a failing assertion.

I agree. She raises some interesting questions, but aside from the fact that Marc Andreessen is both a board member at Facebook and an investor in Instagram, there's very little information here. On the other hand, there are signs that Donn

Ugh. I hate this kind of article. It hypes a new technology without bothering to explain how it works or even what it does. It might as well be a tweet: Martin Casado is hellasmart. Nicira is the VMware of networking. Check out Open

I'm not to familiar with the Illumos world. Would this be the equivalent of a new Linux distribution?

You're saying that this isn't worth doing because they still have to keep some minimal amount of information about their customers in order to do business? You're saying everyday people should contract with a company in Liberia to route the

Ah. But that isn't an issue of language or object-orientation. There are server-side frameworks that don't throw away the world, and client-side frameworks that do. (Notice how your javascript state is thrown away everytime you load a new

Huh? What does the statelessness of HTTP have to do with OOP, particularly on the server, but not the client?

Very cool. Except... They forgot to show the "Ukulele $350" ad that pops up when he looks at the book. Also, "Monsieur Gayno Boxed Set - $24.95", "Feet hurt? Try walking shoes from Reebok!" and "John Smith for Mayor! I'll make the trains ru

Well, if we accept that argument, then just about any means of signalling "this sounds better!" will work. How about we choose something that doesn't waste bandwidth?

First, Dart has a specification that's independent of Google's implementation(s). There are several implementations, which track the spec to varying degrees. See http://www.dartlang.org/docs/spec/index.html Second, Dart is far from finish

The article doesn't seem to address the obvious question: If Anonymous can spy on the people investigating them, why the heck are they making that fact public? Ok, taunting the FBI is probably worth something, but surely continuing to spy o

I think you mean steganography. "Stenography" is writing down what someone is saying.

Setting a precedent is, in fact, the creation of new law. This is the basis of the Common Law system that the United States and other former English colonies use. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law

It's not spam: a) IDS does searches as you type and displays the availability immediately. Yes, it displays affilate links, but you can find an available domain and register somewhere else if you like. b) pilom isn't affiliated with the sit

What you say is true, but "faster than Eclipse" is awfully faint praise.

I think ChuckMcM made the best comment[1] on this issue that I've seen yet, after Scoble alleged that reliance on .Net is what caused MySpace to stagnate. Basically he argued that having control of your entire stack gives you the ability to

Sigh. Yes, attitudes toward violence have changed. We don't have duels any more, and if we did, the winner would go to jail. Fine. What's interesting about the duel isn't that Burr killed Hamilton, it's that he took the risk of getting kill

I'm not saying Burr was honourable. I'm saying he cared about being perceived as honourable. As did Hamilton, or he wouldn't have accepted the challenge. Cheney, in contrast, doesn't give a damn what people think, as long as Halliburton kee

Two hundred years later, the sitting vice president (Cheney) was accused[1] (probably correctly) of corrupt dealings. He just ignored his accusers and nothing came of it. Now, I realize you were responding to the statement about lynching, b
