Bespin is still way too buggy. I tried using it the other day to edit one of the examples on the bespin page itself and it just didn't work. I'm not sure they are taking the right approach really. Was quite a bit disappointed, because I

A link is the wrong object for this functionality. It should be a button, because it is an action that causes something to happen, rather than a link to another page. A link tells me, "When you click, you'll see a different page." A button

The only way I could replicate this is through selecting some text, then clicking until the ? appears (which lets you search their site for the selected text) and then clicking somewhere else. The ? goes away and takes the selected text.

Because its easier, in a cross platform sense, to code to one device: the cpu. Graphics libraries, GPUs, and drivers are more different and thus require more knowledge, experience, debugging, etc. The performance of flash is good enough

Cut the shenanigans and just nominate TBL! He actually deserves it. He hasn't sought out peace, as another commented suggested the prize should focus on, but indirectly, he's caused a lot of peace through communication.

I don't think it's funny and I don't think either the hospital or the consultants/contractors/employees who built this system are worth their weight in salt. It was a horribly expensive move and had very little benefit to the system or the

Could you convert the mechanical energy of the moving plates into electrical energy? Probably orders of magnitude too small, eh? What about at the nanoscale? Could these plates be like springs that provide motive force? What scale are th

They are built in flash, so they won't work on the iphone, but the same thing can be done in Canvas. But I don't have an iPhone, so maybe canvas doesn't work there either. What does work on the iphone? Raphael?

What I still don't get is when it became impossible to change the color of a slice of a pie chart. This isn't a post about why pie charts are bad, it's a post about why lazy charters who waste our time are bad.

HLLs? The best I can get from a search is Heritage Learner. But I agree, I think the startups who are good at managing lots of data, especially new data, extremely quickly will succeed.

There are ways that are less intrusive, but still somewhat effective. Security is mostly about probabilities. The more circles you remove from the venn diagram, the lower the probability of problems. So if you remove everyone from China,

I have never assumed that the software itself held the core value. The value comes from my trusted name, my continued support, and other things I do for the environment of the software. This is a mistake a lot of coders make. The software

Voting is perhaps the most important thing, because it is voting that determines what people see. If voting is horribly flawed, then the right submissions won't get seen.

I recently got embroiled in a dispute over a contract term that I include in all my custom projects. The clause states explicitly that I own any code that I write and am giving the client a royalty free license to use it forever. This is a

Everything said in this post is true of any kind of patent, not just software patents. Gillette does the same thing with razors. I still see no reason to treat software patents as a subset of patents that should be dealt with independentl

I think the real issue here is just letting anyone use your servers for whatever they want. It's a big problem in the cloud because even there, you're guilty by association. The cloud providers are going to have to be more scrupulous about

For me it is about consistency. With javascript on the client and the server, it's easier to write code once and move it around. Compared to having to write perl, java, php, whatever on the server side and javascript on the front. It redu

The difference between WWII and the wars of the next 60 years is that WWII was one the people rallied behind. The American people have never supported a war since then.
