The problem with this is that the web is driven by commitees, so innovation is terribly slow. For example there is no real dynamic layout in web standards, which is crazy. (Look at my v0.1 GridPanel class and compare it to CSS layout...) I

If we call this 'flash': My dream is to create a better flash than flash. I do this in my spare time, so the features a I've put into this are very limited as of yet, but once I will have more time/resources I will try to do my best on thin

Thanks for the bug report. I've tested on Firefox 8.0.1 on Windows 7, it works here. Maybe it behaves differently on different operating systems?

This is my latest startup. The current version (0.1) is a very early version, it is not intended for production usage yet. I am interested in opinions on the approach, and also would be happy to find investors.

My tip would be that it will not reach it at all.

I meant that the paradoxical nature is not resolved by simply formalizing the statement into first order logic the following way: "I have 2 children. Exists child where (Born_on_tuesday(child) and Boy(child))." (Some other paradoxes complet

I did not mean 'not getting it' in a negative way. (English is not my mother language.) Getting a paradox or not is a state. First I did not get it also. And I only wrote my comment, because at the time it was almost a consensus in this thr

It is about specifying a child, and then saying it is a boy. The one extreme is: one of my children is a boy. in this case the other is a boy with 1/3 probability. The other extreme is: One of my children has a national unique id=... He is

The other can also be born on Tuesday. (generated id = 1 in rnd(7)) And the other can also have a generated id = 456783123 in rnd(1billion). But as the bound of the rnd is bigger and bigger, the probability of that approaches to zero. So as

As the currently top voted comment does not get it, I try to intuitively explain the paradox. No, it is not ambiguity of language. It says formally: I have two children. There exists a child of mine who is (boy and born on tuesday). And yes

I think it depends on the market. There are some markets where complexity is really a pain. There are other markets where existing products are already simple enough for the given users that this is not the main concern. Unfortunatelly in m

Exactly. And also every developer should be aware that this Joel classic also applies here: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/StrategyLetterV.html Apple's goal (and every other platform maker's goal) is to commoditize app development

Most of the enterprise developers' job is connecting components together. I hate it. I hate modifying existing systems and hate connecting them together. It is usually hard, but the kind of hard which is not really fulfilling for me. It is

I am hacker and a geek, but nowadays I am more and more interested in marketing. I am wondering in what part the existence of such a lab and the emphasis in their communication on A.I. is a conscious marketing effort. I can imagine that eve

I do not think it is black and white. I myself sometimes have taken risks in my life, but I do not take huge risks all the time. I had to decide on this when I had my family and children. I am creating wealth by creating my Html5 Canvas bas

I have problem with this: "If a fairly good hacker is worth $80,000 a year at a big company, then a smart hacker working very hard without any corporate bullshit to slow him down should be able to do work worth about $3 million a year." I a

I liked these essays when I was young, because these were so encouraging. It treated us programmers as special snow flakes, and advertised us the romantic super exciting world of startups. Now as I got older and more experienced I find thes

I am with Mike on this one. I am in the position of seeing this whole story from far away from SV from a small Eastern European country. I think to be far away helps me have a perspective on this 'playing the racism/sexism card' story. I kn

"What doesn't make it any easier is that I'm 20" I guess you don't have depts and children who depend on you yet. And that's the thing which makes your situation easier.

" then we'll just have to agree to disagree." Oh, no, some of those are the companies that I am the most excited about in the current tech scene. I am not the kind of guy anyway who want to prove a point on this (despite the above 'rant').

I think there was an era when tech-startups were more tech focused from the beginning. Think about the beginning of Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Borland, etc... (Even Google, but not Facebook.) On the other hand I don't want to complain

I have been alienated from the startup scene because I find that the current tech-startup scene is not about technology. Sure, when a startup gets big, it has to deal with scale: this is a territory where some deep engineering is needed. Bu

My main loop is something like this: 10 STYLING 20 LAYOUT 30 PAINTING 40 GOTO 10 At styling and layout I use dirty flag managment, so that branches of the component tree is restyled or layed out only if needed. This kind of dirty-management

The biggest fun of the project was that I was completely free to design the system from the ground up (except the canvas drawing functions). Regarding the amount of work I have to be strategical. I try to concentrate on a relatively small c

Thanks. Not yet, but I will release a website and a 0.1 version in two weeks. I will also write a 'please review' post on HN.
