That's a feature of most "cloud" services that allow multi-device synchronisation. It could be said Google already have your browsing history (of sites that they serve adverts on, or that use their analytics). I doubt Chrom

With asp.net vNext able to run on Linux ( officially ), the question still remains: Why Windows => Why Microsoft? (apart from leeching their tech)

In my opinion, Dart makes JS less lame (via dart2js). It's the closest you'll get to C# in the browser.

This is what I'm doing. We're able to produce a standalone desktop application and a web app using the same code and have it looking/working exactly the same, on different platforms.

And could you imagine putting the announcement on hold because the designer isn't 100% happy with his work... ?

I do see your point, however sometimes it is a good thing to let everyone know about it, so they're able to do something about it. For example, my manager even heard about "shell shock" and prompted me to do something about i

It should also be noted that Mint is built on top of Ubuntu (and Ubuntu is built upon Debian). And from my experience, things in general that work on Debian or Ubuntu also work on Mint. So if you're torn between the 3, pick Mint becaus

How is this "Google-only", and how are they completely violating web standards? Also, what exactly makes Chrome the "neoMSIE"?

I do see your point. The advancement is: You don't need to make/test your engine, and we have a lot more graphics cards and platforms, too.

In this case, the 33k loc includes the engine. I think that is the point.

So they released the source to a few new developer frameworks in an attempt to win back some love from us geeks. While I'm grateful for that, I'd be shocked if they released the source for any of their consumer products, includi

ReSharper is great, but it's a shame that it requires VS to work.

Most of us who have been developing with the Microsoft stack have been burnt at least twice with key frameworks/technologies that have been artificially end-of-lifed while at their peak, leaving our projects based on obsolete technolog

Congratulations on making the switch! At around the time of Windows 8 beta/preview I switched to Linux. I've been developing with Windows since, er.. DOS. It took about a month to re-wire my muscle memory, but once the initial pai

Give him a break. I'm sure if you moved from Linux to Windows, you'd have even more frustration than he had.

by jenscow 12y ago
I almost agree with that (and I've spoke about that in another thread, in case you're interested)

Gotcha. On a technical level, I would also have preferred something like a "bytecode" type VM. However, I believe that would have severely hindered the uptake since all browsers would have to support it before I'd even think

> make it a huge sell to the existing Javascript community Perhaps Dart isn't aimed at the Javascript community. They're happy with JS. It's more aimed at those who dislike JS, perhaps coming from traditional OO or static

Dart has the restriction of "must be compilable to Javascript". I guess the majority of existing mainstream languages have aspects that would make meeting this requirement difficult, without breaking the language. It's also a

by jenscow 12y ago
How are TypeScript and CoffeeScript better? They are both languages that "compile" into Javascript, just like Dart is able to.

You, the user of the library, don't care about finding any bugs in parts of the library that your application isn't using. Your tests will be testing the parts of code in the library that your application uses, which is the part t

by jenscow 12y ago
Agreed. If you've been developing for about 10 years (and hopefully should have used (at the very least) 3 languages by then), you would have realised by now it does not matter on the language/library you use - you will achieve av

I think that's one of the barriers that prevents code from being released: People (like myself) worried that others would take that code and compete with you.

Yes. Fortunately, they're doing it in the name of improving the web. So far.
