I've seen several of these on HN in the past few months, and this one is definitely my favorite. This post is well-written and covers a huge range of topics. I found the information detailed enough to point me in the right direction without

I think the average Apple fan has shifted in the past few years. I've been using Macs for a while (steady since the G3 was into'ed), and I can definitely say that there're a lot more en vogue now than they were in the past. Given that, it's

So many cool things come from Microsoft that lack the story and passion of some of the more well-known open source projects. It's truly disappointing.

Great initiative. All employers should want to have such enthusiastic applicants. I'm not sure whether her design is "good" or whether her other attributes line up with what they're looking for, but A+ for effort, nonetheless.

If I were smarter, I'd call out the type of rhetorical attack you just made, but since I'm not, I'll just point out that you provided no evidence of bias and simply played off of stereotypes. Al Jazeera is widely respected in the journalism

Yeah, and it seems especially appropriate with the Media Lab.

I guess I just haven't seen memcached integration in .NET. All of the caching examples I've seen use the framework caching components. I was also wondering if they'd developed any generic custom code to fetch from Redis or fetch from SQL/in

How did the code have to change to read from/write to Redis?

Are we really debating whether a CEO over-hyped his product in a keynote? Next we'll be taking apart a sales rep for saying his product is better than its competitors.

It's amazing how much the economics of up time have changed since this article was written because of services like AWS. While it may not be technically or fiscally trivial yet, it's far easier and cheaper than its ever been, and far more s

The suggestion may exist because it's possible to do nasty things if a user (particularly a logged-in user) goes to your http address. If you don't have cookies configured to use https only (you don't), an attacker can grab a user's cookies

That's good to know. From the article, it sounded like hashbang URLs were the default/preferred method of handling navigation.

I don't see any point in discussing GWT by itself, without any comparison to other development techniques, and when you compare it to traditional approaches, the "SEO overhead" mentioned in the article is a downside.
140.
by nopal 16y ago
Yes, and? Aren't we discussing the merits of using GWT?
141.
by nopal 16y ago
Having to maintain static copies of every page that should be indexed seems like a huge amount of overhead. GWT could be great for an internal app, but until this is resolved, I couldn't see using it for a public-facing application.

It's part of Apple's thinking that if an app can be satisfactorily built as an HTML5 app, there's no need for it to be in the App Store. If an HTML5 app meets consumers' needs, then there's no need for a native app. But the crux of this ent

The cut is high, but Apple does do more with iOS than they do in your hypothetical. Apple has created a ecosystem in which it is very easy for consumers to purchase subscriptions. They're further enhancing the usefulness of this system by b

The article says, "...Millennium Exchange was processing messages at a round trip latency of only 126 microseconds..." Is this right, or did the author mean milliseconds?

So Google's using hash bang URLs, too?

I couldn't get a merchant account through them because I didn't estimate that I'd make $10,000 in my first months.

That may be true, but losing multiple file upload in IE and Opera is a pretty big deal (if broad support is needed). An ideal solution would use HTML5 and fall back to Flash.

Maybe not from his perspective, but from the perspective of those asking questions and looking for answers, it works pretty well.
