Very good points. In contrast, with longer-established languages, the shortcomings tend to be well-known and acknowledged, and the emphasis in the community is often on sharing the most effective workarounds or alternative techniques. Exa

I haven't mentioned Grails / Groovy, because it always seemed to me like some kind of a "hack" to improve Java with some nice syntactical sugar / DSLs / dynamic programming. Scala / Clojure seemed more interesting, and I focused on them. I'

That's an interesting dilemna. I'm a Java web developer, I know the platform / libraries / tools really well, and know how to get things done with it. I've dabbled with more powerful languages in my spare time, but I've been using Java 8+ h

(disclaimer: I'm currently a Java web developer) If startups choose Java for performance reasons, which I believe was your point, couldn't they instead focus on alternative JVM languages, such as Clojure / Scala? With these languages, you g

I don't get it. What is this supposed to do? Is it supposed to style the page with the Helvetica font? If this is the joke, I guess it doesn't work for me since this font is not available on my machine (using Ubuntu). Or is it something els

I've often wondered about this. What would happen, were we to exhaust our petroleum resources? What concerns me, is that petroleum has many uses, fuel being the main one. By restraining petroleum use as an energy source, we could keep using

Great video. There is a transcript for those who prefer to read: https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/LinusTalk200705Transcr... I'd watch the video anyway, since Linus is awesome on stage.

Woops... You are right. When Daniel said "music and movies", I first thought of Sony's hardware, which is used to consume these medias: Sony flat-screen TVs[1], headphones, Blu-Ray players... But Sony is indeed a major record label / movi

Hard, but not impossible. I wanted to buy new headphones. I was considering the Sony MDR V6 (or the new model that recently came out, won't name the model, don't want to advertise for Sony...). I was ready to pull the trigger, when I though

There is actually a "mind trick" where you make someone choose a number between 1 and 4, guess it is 3, then make them choose a number between 1 and 10, and guess it is 7. It works, because there is a statistical bias toward these numbers,

In this case, I'd simply use LeechBlock or the Chrome equivalent, which has the features you want.

An explanation for that might be that Go, being a Google Project, is hosted on Google Code, where Mercurial is the only supported DVCS. http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/04/mercurial-support-for... http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki

Wow, this is an awesome idea! While I wonder about the price (could bootstrapped startups afford it, especially counting the air fares?), I can see this being very successful.

You are not the only one arguing about the project's lack of maturity and the existence of better, more mature alternatives (which ones?). I can understand this sentiment, and I'd love to be able to add a Maven dependency on this project an

"Condoms and lubricant. If the client wants to skip the condom, there’s usually a 25 percent surcharge." Wow. Isn't that risky? Or does it only apply to oral sex? (still risky, but less than condom-free intercourse, I guess...)

It's still quite new, so for now I think you'll have to build it from source. I know it's annoying when a jar is not available in the Maven repository. But it shouldn't be a dealbreaker either. We have a Maven repository proxy for the compa
