Discoverability has taken a hit, try finding spotlight search, you have to scroll the home screen icons down. Something that makes no sense, and if you scroll from the top of the screen you get the notification centre.

Odd the book isn't on the list, perhaps because it's not quite finished: http://www.packtpub.com/angularjs-web-application-developmen...

The switch statement offers the ability to provide a default opperation, such as tell the user the command was not found. You could add an undefined property check on the dispatch table, but then you have as much and more complex code IMO.

Isn't the, "one" in the title redundant? Would you say two half seconds rather than just a second?

I imagine this is Adobe trying to milk some final money out of flash. After all they are still having to support it and will do for a good few years.

You can, but what about android browser (pre chrome), or webview instances inside an application (phonegap), or people using Amazon Silk on a kindle etc etc

It works, but there is a lot it can't do, and a lot of things that actually make it slower on poor connection (full page refreshes etc). It's also interesting to note that it's a different version of the app, as is the tablet and mobile ver

The problem is it's dependent on the runtime. A debugging tool for Chrome, wouldn't necessarily work in Safari or IE. You need the runtime vendors to provide them. Chrome has been really good at this, but are there tools for mobile Safari,

Well said, there is a difference between website and web app. It's a hard line to find, but there is a big difference between Gmail and Hacker News.

It may not be considered costly when your advertisers pull out because their content is getting replaced via HTTP.

I imagine Google would choose Dart for the web. They seem to have lost interest in GWT.

It's worth pointing out that there are a ton of frameworks and libs for propriety development environments too. Even where there is a dominant framework you then get micro architectures on top of that. With the web as an application develop

In theory your unit test would pick that up ;)

Yes it's confusing but if you hover the mouse over the end (where dart2js has just passed v8) the key updates to show you current speeds. DartVM is almost twice as fast :) dart(20315)512.24 dart2js(20315)334.67 v8(14027)321.00

Easy for a man with a full head of hair to say. Or is this just a swipe at Balmer?

The guy who writes Byline (@phfish on twitter) is looking at http://www.feedly.com/ as a potential replacement backend.

That's one part, but it doesn't solve the central state control. Perhaps someone could extract the Google reader API and turn it into a standard for other products to implement?

by robmcm 14y ago
I don't really want a reader, I want a service that syncs state accross readers, and aggregates my feeds into one feed for easy downloads by devices. Google reader was perfect for that, and it was only on occasion that I used their web inte

Perhaps adding a commented link in a minified file to a full version? Wouldn't be hard to automate.

The problem with these telemetric policies is that I bet they are actually aimed at peanalising risky drivers rather than rewarding low risk drivers. Perhaps I am being too syndical and actually they are just trying to replace the, now ille

That's what I assumed. Not that the fossilization actually occoured in space it's self.

Yes, perhaps a just a poor choice of words.

They claimed there was no evolutionary differences, so either it started it's space journey at the same time our ancestor did, or it evolved in the exact same way... However the stating of, "zero chance" is rather un scientific.

Google's closure tools can compile JS into a single file, and can also target runtimes to remove redundant code. I imagine you could get away with a single html and js file. Images could be converted to binary too in theory, I think the Cap
