Few years ago Apple decided that it will be easier to create pixel perfect apps with simple, fixed layouts. With all screen elements positions hard coded. Yes, GPU accelerated animations are still the best. However fixed layout apps mean th

Does anyone know the real reason SQLite was removed form HTML5 specs? I known official Mozilla arguments. Which are quite week IMHO. Is this was MS job? They where afraid that browser apps will make desktop apps obsolete?

What about AMD, should they copy ARM business model to compete with Intel in desktop market? Or maybe AMD is too similar to Intel and cannot adapt ARM licence model due to its internal costs structure? (Innovator's Dilemma)

According to Google Dart is better for web apps than Go. Is it too early to switch from Python/Ruby to Go? Maybe it would be better to wait for Dart. I known that Mozilla and MS won't support Dart however they also don't support Go.

I've just removed the last lines of RJS code from my app. So now I can upgrade to Rails 3.2 and use CoffeeScript :) But this time I'll wait for something like Dart.

I would love to get software to visualize source code as 3d structures. As a main purpose to see its complexity, not to read or understand source code. And then put on one picture, side by side with proper scale, my system and a stadium.

"No idea" is just an idea how to create successful company. Actually a new one. Time will tell if this is good or bad. Anyway having more engineers with that kind of experience, creating a business from scratch, is great for the ecosystem.

Frankly speaking I'm not familiar with IPv6 NAT. So to hide IPv6 corporate network structure it is necessary to send outside all IPv6 packets with one global address. Is this an only option? It should be possible to hide internal network st

With IP6 supernodes won't be needed for A/V traffic. Supernodes are only needed for NAT hacks. Skype succeeded because it worked in many different network environments. As contrasted with h323 and sip. Just to remind.

"10-15 hours of my own time managing a server" That's a lot of time. What is the most time consuming task when managing your own dedicated server? I thought that it takes max 1h monthly to run "apt-get upgrade".

For a long time there were no PostgreSQL for Windows. So Windows developers had to use MySQL. MySQL is good enough so there is no need to migrate applications for a few additional features.
