My question, unanswered after reading the link, is this: what is WebOS?

If the first user waits 2 seconds per response and the millionth user waits 2 seconds per response, that does indeed meet one definition of scaling. The problem is you aren’t going to find a million users willing to wait that long. So why

I think I am not going to open a Facebook account just to read it. Number one rule of resumes: don't get yours thrown in the trash unread. In the immortal words of Donald Trump "You're not hired!" Or if you prefer Paul Graham, I clicked

Right. "With whom am I speaking"? sounds stuffy at the beach. "Who am I speaking with?" sounds lazy at the opera. "Whom am I speaking with?" just sounds confused. A similar example that annoys me is the American pronunciation of the wine

They are back in the other game, too (lenguajero.com). See this blog post, which happens to be called "back in the game": http://aflanagan.com/back-in-the-game/ . Quote: "Instead of building something complicated that was based on our fre

So far, my "overall point is bankrupt", my "analysis is just dead wrong", I am in some kind of hole I need to dig myself out of, and the point I attempted to defend is "pretty disingenuous". Ok, may we proceed? The original point is this:

One: right. The employee pays 7.65%. The employer pays the other half. Two: right (the rate is actually 1.45% on wages over $106,800 in 2010) - the idea being that you shouldn't have to pay in infinitely given that the benefits are capped

A person making $20,000 pays the same US federal payroll tax rate as a person making $100,000 (7.65% in 2010, 5.65% in 2011). This tax pays for Social Security and Medicare (retirement income and retirment healthcare). Federal income tax

You don't need to worry about the grammar police. You need to worry about the person with whom you are trying to make an appointment. Saying "let me know when works for you" is about like saying "let me know where you would like to meet a

I admit Visual Basic is not near as cool as say Scratch, but it is pretty visual, especially when compared to BASIC. I think it was fair for Microsoft to use the term, some 20 years ago, given that visual languages at that time were called

by jmulho 16y ago
Right. To be truly visual a language must also provide a bunch of widgets that you drag and drop to build graphical user interfaces. Oh wait...

The problem with that plan is that one day you will learn that someone who works at Google, or Amazon, or your bank or some other "crucial" site has captured millions of username/password combinations and tried them at all the other crucial

I can't find the criticisms of Resig's you mention. Can you provide a link? I did find an encyclopedia's worth of ranting. Conclusion: don't read Resig's books because two guys who spend a lot of time hating jQuery have criticised the book

You are right on. The cardinal rule of traditional relational databases is that data loss is unacceptable. A database administrator who allows data loss is by definition incompetent. A database that allows data loss is by definition not

Good point on concurrent programming. Programs aren't going to get twice as fast every 18 months on their own anymore. We are going to have to learn to make use of multiple cores. Google's go language is an obvious contender.

Try a scripting language; you might change your mind. There is a reason why they are so popular. It doesn't take too long to see why once you try. Things that used to take forever to get working just seem to work on the first or second t

Here is a non-trend that should be: be more than just familiar with SQL solutions like MySQL, PostgreSQL. This to me is the most common missing skill among software developers.

Since this isn't all that cutting edge of a list, ajax seems missing. How about this one: design a website that never does a full page refresh and responds to server requests so quickly that you never see that annoying loading ring going

I prefer god_is_nowhere. The easiest thing to read is what you are used to. To fairly compare godisnowhere, GodIsNowhere, and god_is_nowhere, you need to stick with each for several days. I bet you'll discover, as I have, that god_is_now

Given the limited amount of data that can be displayed on a screen at one time, you should never have to wait. If the loading-wheel is spinning long enough to see, I consider that a bug. Yet a stuck loading wheel is pretty much synonymous

I see this complaint a lot, and agree it is not hard to provide basic functionality without JavaScript. However, I'd be interested to know where in life the JavaScript is lacking. The only place I have ever encountered a lack of JavaScrip

I am interested in the content of your site, but the performance is not tolerable. The load time for the first page will cause some people to go away and never come back, but that isn't the problem. The problem is that once it loads, it’s

Being able to build something useful that works well is the key skill. You've demonstrated you can do that. I can think of dozens of software applications that are not as nifty as nift.ie. Someone was paid to write most of them.
