Maybe I need a refill of coffee, but I couldn't really grasp what the point of the article was. JavaScript is half-usable, object oriented programming is broken (he even goes into a bit about inheritance), Java and .Net are enterprise-

I was joking; apparently people are shocked that autocomplete requires a website to log your keystrokes.

Every site owner that uses Google Analytics has this information.

That's pretty similar to the way that Facebook graph search works, so it wouldn't surprise me. If anything, you just open up devtools and check for an XMLHttpRequest when you tab into the password field.

Most privacy conscious people simply choose not to use sites like Google and Facebook.

...or just use NoScript...? I really don't understand the incredulity, though; does the average user think that Google has the entire Internet stored on its homepage to get Auto Suggestions to work?

An idea (maybe too obvious) that comes to mind would be to host people's tests and send alerts when tests fail, then work up a deal with Heroku to offer your web testing service as a plugin. Many of the plugin services have the same ty

It's a matter of sound business decisions more than anything. This is a classic example of not understanding your target audience. Look at the competition: on one end, you have a flexible, open source web testing framework like CasperJ

I just want to point out, however, that there are other open source frameworks that do the exact same thing. Utility libraries like this are rarely closed source because the target audience is working in code (and there are also security is

The problem is a climate that is conducive to the homeless. Here's my modest proposal: move tech companies to the rust belt. From Detroit to Utica, we have the pleasure of watching the homeless die of hypothermia every winter. Every ti

You're not proving the parent post wrong, though. For all of the lyrical embellishment and artistic license, Lupe Fiasco is simply saying is that he's a good rapper. Never mind the fact that the Bible is the most referenced piece

Which is why I think the moral panic about ADHD overdiagnosis in the USA is nonsense. The US is a country founded on stimulants; I hypothesize that behavioral norms and benchmarks for success in the United States have been influenced by hea

The fact that you think of programmers as a brotherhood tells me all I need to know, but I'd just like to add that the problem today is that there are an incredible number of mediocre programmers out there (many in this thread). I, f

Apple can decide whatever it wants, especially if it's protecting themselves from being named in a multi-million dollar lawsuit.

by rmrfrmrf 13y ago
Of course, but Apple has explicitly stated that, if you want to make an app that goes against App Store guidelines, you're welcome to make a web app. Apple would have to be in the business of Internet filtering to change that policy, w

The examples you gave don't use Bitcoin; they all use USD. The currency itself is illegal; we're not even talking about what you're doing with the currency. Bitcoin's legality is disputed in China, Thailand, and the st

virtualenv isn't made redundant by Vagrant at all; I use them together all the time. The remote server I deploy to is completely different from my development machine, so I use Vagrant to simulate the remote environment. Since I'm
