Sorry I read this as a very "oh no there are services I like that are being supplanted by Google ahhh!" Simply, there are lots of things I would consider relatively obvious shoe-ins for inclusion in browsers. Searchable web archives seem on

One of the best things about this is that this benchmark is for "real work" and not "our for loops loop 20% faster!!!" I think this really drives home the point that this opens up new things for Javascript as a language outside of just DOM

I think this is one of those worrying-about-buggy-whip-manufacturer type problems. Sometimes new things make old things obsolete. Sometimes the old thing is given a new use. Oh no.

Its better than nothing. But its no panacea.

Same with my D80 as well. I just tell myself its not that obvious and ignore it... I'm afraid I'll break it by cleaning it myself!

Frankly, if I discovered that a pair of die were summing to seven, it would be more fun to roll over and over than actually playing a game.

Really really fast Javascript is game changing. Think about it. People always make fun of how our computers are thousands and millions of times faster than computers of yore and seem to do basically the same thing... except that my word pro

Just as much as developing solely for IE. Good lord did you even think about what you just wrote? Its a browser, not a torture device!

In fact... the vista implementation is far superior. Get Vista, it sucks less than XP unless your hardware isn't supported.

metafilter.com is full of esoteric posts and people from all sorts of different backgrounds post on it with surprising amounts of wit and candor.

One thing to keep in mind is that IT professionals are different from software engineers which seem to be the majority of the technical backgrounds that HNers have. I'm surprised there aren't more sysadmin related posts actually. (Wiring Se

Steve Yegge's js2-mode is pretty freaking awesome for emacs users. Yay emacs. It also has built in linting for things like inconsistent returns and so forth. Its kind of amazingly good.

One of the most disappointing things by far is that things are so unfinished. HTTPS keeps being promised, other languages, being able to pay for higher quotas, etc etc etc. Not to mention the datastore is freaking weird and painful to use

Well, smartness is a bit more complex. I may be better at skill A, but my friend is way good at B. Thus, he is "smarter".

Its amazing how that subway map design is so amazingly ubiquitous that its even being used to decorate bathrooms. That is art I can support.

Right. And thats my problem. "I'm still learning about some of them after 6 months". Its tiring to have to type git --help, or man git-blah or whatever. Is it cool because I realize I have INFINITE POWER WAHAHA? Yah. But I have to look it u

Huh, I thought she just thought the rules were stupid, but was abiding with them out of respect. That is, the rules required her abstaining from tea and coffee, but since they didn't mention Coke she drank it without guilt. And the bit of "

I want to clarify, the commands I use daily in svn number at two: update, and commit. I actually use IDE integration for most of the adding/deleting/copying, though I use the command line for that in svn and git when it suits me. The "probl

I agree, I don't use THAT many git commands, but I do have to look up more command line options to be sure I'm not going to blow my own foot off. I agree, its probably cultural from looking over the shoulder at my git-loving-friends.

One of the most frustrating things about git (as someone who occasionally uses git, mercurial and svn) is that the title here is "20 commands". For svn my workflow is (checkout once), update, commit. Whereas I feel I'm mucking about in man

I just want to point out that Ruby was written by someone I would barely call a kid. Beyond which, I have only one response to the "look at all the things made by people who aren't professors". Well, look at how many people who can program

And sometimes your hot company flames out and you'll regret not taking the money and running for the rest of your life. This is what managing risk is all about isn't it? You just plain don't know!

I'm pretty sure most of the engineers at Microsoft use Visual Studio. And I'm pretty sure they run Windows too.

I think there is something stunningly wrong with assuming your users are idiots.
