This is without a doubt some of the most sexist, lazy, stereotypical biological determinism I've had the misfortune of reading. It's embarrassing to even have this here, let alone have it upvoted. It's the kind of drivel I'd expect in a Sla

Given your average anon forum poster I'd regard the lack of comparisons to the Nazis and failure to call for the CEO's untimely and grizzly death a win.

A growing economy does not necessarily correlate to an appreciating currency when its value is decided by political actors.

It's not a floating currency, it's directly controlled by politicians. Holding yaun is taking a speculative currency bet on the competency of the Chinese Communist Party to successfully manage the Chinese economy.

To make that even more..fun the support is there but disabled and the dev team have refused to give any kind of timeline. I assume there's either some significant performance issues or glaring bugs. This seems odd given it's part of webkit

Thing is, while both Ruby & Vim have been driven by what she's describing she neatly sidestepped why those movements got started in the first place. Ruby gained huge traction primarily via Rails because working on PHP is unenjoyable to

Coffeescript I'm familiar with and yes, is very nice indeed. It's some of the others I'd be more concerned about.

I'd define good as it takes full advantage of the javascript language and produces & can be used to create structures optimised for javascript, not the language it was written in.

Another small one I'd point out: You can't sort large sets on fields that aren't indexed. It's not just slow, mongo flat out refuses to do it.

This really isn't news, Reuters et al have been selling tools like ClearForest for years and lots of quant funds have their own tools.

While I agree with the redefinition of 'kill' I couldn't disagree more about Facebook not having any flaws that might kill it. Facebook has two that I can see. The first is that it is built from the ground up around a flat social network an

No due process, no rule book, no accountability, just naked use of force. That's a neat description of the actions taken against wikileaks. The USG and its allies have declared war on wikileaks using means both fair and foul, the friends of

However if you do compile and/or run the tests it makes a lot of sense to make logical commits instead of monolithic commits of changes that are not interdependent. And --amend ing a commit message to fix a typo before pushing it is complet

I think the plan is fairly simple: to clear his name by showing these absurd trumped-up charges for what they are, the machiavellian machinations of the US via a disturbingly compliant Swedish legal system.

You're missing the point, it's not the flirting, it's the getting of contact information under the false pretences of doing business that's she's understandably annoyed about.

It doesn't matter whether it actually works anywhere near as well as the hyperbolic sales pitch as long as advertisers buy it. It's nothing more than cookies and metadata collected by javascript, probably hashed together to produce a unique

Poor choice of words. It looks amateurish and is very ugly on the iPad screen next to the icons of everything else I've got on there.

If I were Lamebook I'd be registering hundreds of silly lame/facebook related domains per hour and offering them as alt urls to use via Facebook. Make the 9-figure-valuation company dance and jump for a scrappy joke site, nothing will make

Words can barely express how much I love being spammed by competitors of a company I like enough to follow on Twitter. I'll certainly rush to give them a try, not hit them block button and mentally file them under 'wilfully does not underst

I wasn't aware of the agressive hashing - interesting. I wonder if they're actually operating at a scale where there'd be a real risk of a hash collision causing data loss for some very confused poor sod.

Given the 20-odd hours 3.0.2 lasted I'm waiting a day or two before even regression testing against this. While I love the pace of development I do wish they were a little more thorough with the release testing at times.

Looks like jQuery Mobile put the wind up them. I'd find it hard to justify investing time in the Sencha platform even if it is 'free' - the licence is still commercial and development is still closed, why take the risk when jQuery Mobile is
