HTML5 is an umbrella term. Get over it.

Mostly a list of spin-laden, news release rehashes and promises that won't be met anytime soon. Hurrah.

Why when I switch the country on the payment page to Canada does it show the price in euros?

Then the attack shifts. The "security check" becomes, drag this link to your bookmark bar and click it.

I do see "class" level permissions, as I mentioned in my previous post, but nothing suggesting that finer grain control exists. I do see that you can store data on the authenticated user, which is a good start. And if better security is som

Why am I being downvoted? As responsible engineers, we should be deeply suspicious of anything coming from the client. This product flies in the face of that wisdom.

The client API requires that you provide it your app's global credentials. These are likely to be baked right into the code, so can be easily extracted from the binary. It looks like the entire datastore is mutable/queryable after authentic

Love it. I'm going to give a go for a week and see if it fits. The playlist bar is its killer feature -- iTunes DJ is crap in comparison.

I guess you mean the opposite hasn't prevented Ruby from being popular. All numeric values are truthy, including 0.

I'm having a little trouble imaging how the actor model would apply to GUI programming. Could you explain?

Tutu is surprisingly badly behaved for a trained dog. I wonder if allowing him to run amok is important for sniffing effectively.

Not where I'm from it's not. A code monkey is mindless and interchangeable.

No, it wouldn't. With AJAX, the request always goes out, and is received and processed by the server if they choose to (most never check the request origin). Then, the server can decide whether or not to attach cross origin resource sharing

That's absurd. Why would a teenager know more than an adult about security?

I think that you have to work to make your perspectives as similar as possible. Nominate screen regions for areas of similar importance.

Yes, there are. You can also have the compilers watch the filesystem for changes, building whenever required. That comes in handy.

Meh, they're OK. It's pretty easy to layer something more interesting on top of them. Pop in a scripting language for the business logic and you're looking good, with lots of possible deployment options and a wealth of tuning information.

I really don't think this will be an issue. Think of how often you browse Facebook just looking at people and reading info. This is not information I would like to have public any more than I'd like people knowing about what I search for. P

From the WebGL spec: "It is possible to create, either intentionally or unintentionally, combinations of shaders and geometry that take an undesirably long time to render. This issue is analogous to that of long-running scripts, for which u

I couldn't figure out how to see everything I wanted to, and quickly abandoned my attempts. Not a win-win.

Completely misleading. What Evrything is going to be providing is not at all similar to every object on earth having its own, specific API.

I would happily work for this guy. Seems like an opportunity to be both a programmer and help out with operations too. Sounds fun.

Could this be the beginning of a physical world where computers frequently interact to provide rich and useful function? I, for one, hope so. Can't wait to play with this.

An interesting side benefit this opens up the possibility of debugging languages that compile down to JavaScript, such as Coffeescript or Objective-J. Just attach an editor or a terminal via a websocket, provide a mapping layer between the

Great highlighting based on caret position, easy-to-read syntax and the output updates quickly. Very well done.
