It died, because .net supports reified types, which make interoperability pretty much impossible. Contrary to popular opinion, erasure is a superior solution to reification for many reasons, and this is one of them.

I can't seem to be able to get a direct link to Woz's post so I can forward it around, am I missing something or is Google+ even more braindead than I thought?

Sadly, the Happy Hacking Keyboard is not split, so it's a non starter for anyone who's serious about avoiding carpal tunnel syndrome.

You might want to use some help from your editor for this, e.g. auto completion. I'm hoping you never actually have to type every single letter of this code.

This only goes half way, sadly: noisy tabs will only be shown with the symbol in your Window list if they are the active window in that tab. If you have another tab open, it's that tab that will appear there, so you will still have to

That's not true, most of the stuff he posts about Google is negative and positive about Apple. This article is the first exception I see in years (and it's not even positive about Google, it's just neutral, which is already q

Wow, it's almost as if Gruber is running out of negative things to say about Google.

CoffeeScript is waning for me as well but not for the same reason: Dart and/or Typescript seem to be superior solutions, both backed by companies that are going to keep their language alive for a very long time. I'm curious which

False dichotomy. It's true that they are not your friends but it doesn't mean that you should never interact with them, nor that you wouldn't enjoy (and maybe even learn from) spending time with them. You spend more time with

Yeah, I don't know what's most predictable about some Hacker News readers, the fact that they are in love with Ruby or that they are not good at detecting sarcasm.

Yet another sign that Ruby's popularity is waning.

They should be taught both. Too often do I see people coming out of college with strong theoretical roots and absolutely zero clue on how to use a debugger, a source control system or the slightest idea of how a software project goes.

I wish he also recommended that every research paper needs to have a date on it. It seems to be the golden rule never to specify any date on research papers, which makes it really hard to evaluate the paper based on when it was published.

And that might very well happen, but if it does, it will still be described as Apple copying Google, which probably drives Gruber crazy. Personally, I think that the simple fact that Google came up with the idea means that Apple will never

It's quite entertaining to see Gruber struggle so much with the idea that Google has out innovated Apple. You can tell he really wishes he could say that everything about Google Glass sucks but deep inside, he knows that Google is onto
