   There is something interesting there, not sure exactly where or how this fits in. Not sure exactly what purpose the ratings serve. It is not like a particularly good comment stays on the screen very long. There is something good here and

   As far as "Less is More" goes, this could be practiced in other languages by voluntarily choosing a simpler subset of features in a language with a complex feature set. Think RISC style in CISC architecture.

   Thank you for the reply. I've had some opportunity to work with Python, read some other people's code, and yes Python lends itself to regularity of form. If you squint and turn your head a bit, you can almost see the abstract syntax tree

   Can you go into more detail about how Python fixes maintenance? I'm really curious what language features of Python are conducive to good or easy maintenance, and how those features are unique to Python. Color me skeptical, but I can be

    that's why I do the low-tech paper, pencil and time pomodoro technique, especially when working on drudgery tasks like database conversions.

    I think he might be referring to the "write once, run anywhere" slogan, about how Java via the JVM would free users and developers from the tyranny of any particular OS.

    I can't really see this working in my current line of employment, warehouse automation. Once a system is in production we're lucky if we can deploy a bug fix once a fortnight.

    maybe what you need is a federated friendspace, or something that such a phrase would imply.

    how is this any different from any other army's entrenching tools? Yes there are a few extras added to it but it is not in any way more ingenious than what's already available elsewhere.

    In my experience when working with Java the old Borland JBuilder worked well and was reasonably responsive, Eclipse was a pig no matter how I tweaked it, Netbeans kept me happy.

    Hey, wouldn't all that MS has to do is use a different Agent string for IE8 so that the agent sniffing fails. You know, go incognito, like user-agent JF-8.

    Hey, I like to make a buck just like the next guy, but it still sounds like a neat thing to work on. I'm sure you could find a way to charge someone something after developing this.

    Thanks, I'm aware of Comet. Not exactly what I meant, in Comet the connection stays open after being initiated by the client. I'm looking for something where the interaction is first client-to-server, then client registers a "callback" ad

    Find a good way to have an asynchronous feed back from a web server to a web client, a true general purpose "push" protocol as an extension of HTTP. Hey you can even call it HTTP2W or HTTP2HTTP. Of course you'll have to come up with not o
