You can be fully in control of your own OpenID if you want. Just host it on your own domain/server. Or even easier: use delegation. Add some meta tags to the header of your blog (or any HTML page under your control), and sign up for sites u

Agreed. Though it would only work if email providers also became OpenID providers (which admittedly would have been very possible), or else having two things that look just like email addresses could cause similar confusion. An advantage of

OpenId does have this in the form of a URL as your identifier. If you had a myopenid.com account, for example, you can login to your site using 'michaelchisari.myopenid.com'. That page will contain a metadata tag specifying who your provide

Have they explained their reasons for not backing JPEG-XR instead? This seems to be a step back from JPEG-XR: - No alpha support - Not lossless support (Useful for the alpha channel, and could encourage more cameras to support lossless imag

It's pretty difficult to do language performance comparisons based on a single game. Dwarf fortress, another great indie game involving mining and crafting, is written in C++, has no 3D (it's simply a 2D grid), and uses up a lot of CPU. Tha

He's not talking about desktops: Apple still has tiny (but growing) market share there. He's talking about mobile platforms. Microsoft is very much the underdog after ignoring the platform for so long. Apple had a monopoly over good smartph

As far as I know, they haven't released C# 3.0 or 4.0 to the ECMA. I'd love to be proved wrong. See wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)

I would phrase that question as "Am I editing one file, or a project of files?". As a Vim user, who previously only used IDEs for java projects, I now use IntelliJ for HTML/CSS/Javascript projects too. If you learn the refactoring and compl

We've used Netbeans and Eclipse for previous projects, but moved to IntelliJ last year. The language integration is much richer - and it has a more solid foundation for working with multiple languages. For example, find usages and refactor-

Yep, this always bugs me too. When it came out it had quite a good rendering engine compared to most (all?) competitors. The problem arose from Microsoft disbanding the IE team and not releasing a new version for so many years. It fell behi

The latest version of Sass (3.0) has CSS syntax: The compiler supports both variants - the file extension (.scss vs .sass) denotes which you want to use. See the examples on their front page: http://sass-lang.com They have a command line

We used Less for a project, but ended up moving to Sass: http://sass-lang.com/ The Sass compiler was (is?) more mature, and the language feels more consistent (see the '&' operator in Sass vs the :hover special case in Less). The edit

The other common complaint is that using plain strings for data access is inelegant, and not very javascript-y. It will face the same problem as other platforms, where developers end up writing ORM frameworks to map relational database tabl

The two projects appear to have implemented different parts of flash. Flash has several separate virtual machines, which have been introduced over the years with new versions of flash. Lightspark only implements the newer ActionScript3 runt

The article a little out of date. The RISC vs CISC distinction is very blurry these days. Most RISC architectures have been made more CISCy, and vice versa. The article mentions CISC CPUs using RISC instructions internally, which isn't the

I'm surprised he didn't use SVG - it provides an object graph, and will handle clipping/rendering for you. A low level API like canvas probably isn't necessary for this kind of work.

Agreed. I was expecting a critique of the library API. JavaScript APIs (including, especially, the browser APIs) have a long history of being overly-verbose, and designed as if it was Java. Has anyone used the closure library API enough to

The D programming language [ http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ ] was designed primarily to be a better C++. It has C-style syntax, a vaguely similar OO model to Java, and compiles directly to machine code, with performance as priority (it even

Such a distinction between good and bad parts is much more difficult to define for C++ than Javascript. Javascript hasn't had the problem of programmers using separate subsets of the language. The bad parts of Javascript are design/implemen

Yeah, IDEA's javascript/html/css support is one of the reasons I switched from eclipse. The Javascript editor in particular is much improved over eclipse: Autocompletion, rename refactoring and find usages actually work somewhat!

Use another OpenID provider, such as https://www.myopenid.com/ Or you can host your own. See here for a good list: http://openid.net/get-an-openid/ I initially wasn't too impressed by OpenID, but I was sold by the third site I got to us

Many complaints revolve around GCC's monolithic architecture. See the clang comparison page ( http://clang.llvm.org/comparison.html ) for a decent overview. clang should open the door for intelligent refactoring and analysis tools which are

I think his point is that it isn't Cocoa itself which makes the new version faster and more extensible: It's the rewriting process. The new codebase has presumably been better structured to be faster and more extensible. As John Gruber has
