I've been using scribd for a pretty big Slide deck. It takes enough time to upload/convert on scribd that I usually go do something else while I wait for a new version to upload. With Crocodoc it was fast enough that I didn't mind watching

Does anyone know if they are going to put more effort into their VLC browser plugin? I tried it a few months ago and it only work semi decently in Chrome on Windows. For Mac it was totally broken.

Matt would you comment on the thought process of Google on curation. There are sites that are generally strongly disliked. Examples: Demand Media in general. Or say w3schoolS.com for JavaScript/CSS/HTML. I can understand that there would li

I think I understand your point, in that with the game play of light cycles there are only absolute moves that you've made. You still want to the player's action to play instantly on his and show up as fast as possible in the server's and o

Obscuring code isn't a bad thing, it's what I miss about c/c++. It was so much easier to share a library without giving away source code. The increased power that NaCL would add would enable more disruptive applications than just js apps. C

Um, I'm no hater. But I think making a good app is more important. So put more into one rather than a bunch. Nothing is more beautiful than a well thought out app.

I'm not a fan of Teaching languages, teach algorithms and clean concepts. It takes much time to get good at a language you might as well be using one to learn your algorithms with. And not just the language but the Version Control, Librarie

Anyone have idea which browsers support this? And if it's worth even knowing about, for instance if it's any more performant than other techniques why doesn't Socket.IO support it as a transport fallback.

I like the idea, I love random people. Definitely agree that people more aligned with my tastes feels more productive. But spending time with strangers and just asking things like how do they view things and do they do can lead to many oppo

They made up their contorted Social Expectation. Most of us have never really thought of what we expect our friends to be able to do with our information. I think we all assume that we trust our friends to occasionally share too much but yo

I agree with this point for sure. Frameworks are great if you are going to leverage a lot of the libraries/modules. But often in practice you never do. So then you end up taking on the issues with using a large codebase. Which is that when

Node's strength are in doing streaming UIs. Like realtime twitter feeds that push new tweets to the UI the moment they come in. It also does allow sharing code such as client side and server side validation. And if you use require.js you ca

Singularity talk is reminiscent of the early AI work, everyone thought they were on the verge of creating human level AI. Yeah, that didn't happen( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter ). How's this any different? What makes you so confid

You are totally correct about the C/C++ generation not being easy if I go for making the whole language be elegantly compilable. I was thinking more of a subset, where you can mark a module or function(Not sure about the granularity) and it

That's really nice, I would love that both for the above use of multiline text to be printed. But especially for client-side html templates. I'm building my own javascript preprocessor language called O. I will definitely have to use that o

Is the heredoc syntax for documentation? Or is it syntactic sugar for multiline text? Because that would be very nice.

You are making a lot of sense, a little bit of unnecessary attitude though. :)
