I think the most interesting thing for me was the whole idea of using tools like this to visualize and monitor code with somewhat complicated dependencies. I'm pretty sure there'd be heaps of useful applications for this kind of tech. Have

Awesome submission. I love seeing technical articles on HN. Also, this is a pretty good read about memory and cache stuff: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/cpumemory.pdf

I think it's ok to criticize as long as it's constructive. I can't speak for others, but I really appreciate good criticism. I'm talking about the kind that is brutally honest. It still pays to be polite, I don't take shit from people who a

Just curious, do you keep your own backups as well? Do you have any contingency plans for if Amazon's services go down? I'm not trying to be cynical, but I'd hate to be in the position where Amazon has your business by the balls if somethin

Hmm.. interesting predictions. :-) I'd actually expect open source to gain more contributors if there's a whole bunch of unemployed software developers. If you're looking for work, you're still going to have a lot of free time. On the other

Agreed.. this is always worth re-reading every few months. It's a fantastic read.

I use Vim & jEdit. I use Vim for editing stuff from a shell.. mostly small to medium size editing tasks. It's really good once you've got it set up properly. You can get all the usual stuff you get in IDE's such as syntax highlighting,

The thing is, even compiled C++ apps are no better when loading a bunch of shared libraries etc. OpenOffice.. I'm looking at you! ;-)

I don't mean to be pedantic, but the 'Java is slow' thing simply isn't true anymore. It certainly used to be slow back in the day, but it's actually pretty good these days. From what I've heard, programmers at Google put it in the same ball

The most interesting thing about this for me is that programming language implementations could possibly be ported to the flash VM. Anyone who has tried 'try ruby' knows what I'm talking about: http://tryruby.hobix.com/ .. being able to e

Indeed, I find it amusing that people spend loads of time looking to increase their productivity... when their time would be better spent getting shit done. Even if the page itself is a bit blunt, the point remains. If you want to get stuff

I've heard Selenium is really good. It has a remote testing mode so that you can set up a bunch of different OS and browser combinations and run tests automatically. http://selenium-rc.openqa.org/
