So, what's a good resource for _learning_ Haxe as opposed to trying it?

All those Facebook profiles: all different, all highly customizable. Specific. All those hundreds of thousands of iPad apps: mostly very specific, some wildly so. Increasingly these days, every business Amazon gets into, it builds a differe

The OP called this out by the theater company's name, Punchdrunk, and dismissed it as "pretentious."

Obviously full-on, unthrottled downloads are going to get blocked. Why can't activists ever be sneaky?

Being allowed to enter isn't the same as being a Supporting Member. There's people who show up, and there's the in crowd. If a store can work it so that access to community is really what's being sold, it has a shot with this model. It migh

Agreed about drawing on paper, but is convenience worth $200 to a target audience that has probably already paid for a scanner?

Why wouldn't you just draw the thing the character is carrying a few millimeters away, and save $150? (Bear in mind, these are artists we're talking about; that money matters.)

There are few real graphic artists who are working with "just" paper and pen. They have favorite pens, favorite papers. Brush pens are plenty sensitive to pressure, and they're around $17 for a good one. So far the closest thing to a real a

How does this beat having a scanner?

There may still be fields of activism wherein a felony conviction is helpful, but it's not at all clear that information access is one of them. Nobody associates computers emotionally with the '60s.

It does support SQLite through Firefox 4's IndexedDB spec (sadly incompatible with the Web SQL Database API spec). And there's localStorage as well. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/IndexedDB

We all seem very happy to complain about Diaspora, but where are the people patching it and/or offering a replacement project with the same, highly desired goals?

I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, I can't wait for Frey to get some competition. On the other, he's actually a pretty good commercial writer (competing with him will be pretty tough on that front) and I almost hope he branches o

If there were money in solving real problems, there wouldn't be any real problems!

So where are the libraries for making games with canvas? There's Akibahara, but it's pretty opinionated (not that there's anything wrong with that) - I'd love to see more diversity of approaches.

Indeed, they've already found good UI people, in the very building they work in: they're being hosted for the summer by Pivotal Labs.

If it can't be hosted on the crappiest major shared host provider you could name, it isn't a fit for their goals. Which means it's a total mystery why they're using WebSocket, but yeah.

How much arguing do we have to do about the optimal way to lose weight before we maybe come to the conclusion that different bodies are different?

It takes a lot of time to deal with attention in a human fashion.

Where did people get the idea that you'll have to set up your own seed? Most people can't install WordPress either; hence WordPress.com and a viable open-source business model.

Attention is the indicator that they're doing something right socially; it itself is not the victory.

Reprints are contractual matters. Draw one up. This goes double if you're calling yourself a publisher and you're working with major print entities.

Oddly, such a Flash player would probably do fine on major mobile platforms.

The fact that Diaspora have gotten all that attention actually suggests that they have better odds to succeed - the biggest obstacles to a Facebook replacement aren't technical, after all, but social. They're starting by giving themselves a

Cool, but... BeOS is 10 years old. And its GUI was dated even then.

If it doesn't run WP plugins and themes, or at least easily convert the themes, it's not a WP killer.

revMo was the wrong product anyway; what's needed is a HyperCard-like dev environment that runs on the iPad and can open stacks-or-whatever from other users. I hope they get to work on that.
