And when it's working, against everything you said, what will you do then? I hope you'll at least admit you were wrong.

Wow, I didn't expect this level of skepticism and negativity on hacker news. This is exactly the kind of audacious, potentially world changing invention that hackers should be striving for. Merideth has my respect. We should be supp

SVG performance degrades based on the amount of data that you are drawing. If you are rendering basic charts you will never run into any issues, if you are doing scatterplots with thousands of points or some other visualization with lots o

Is there not room in the world for both paid and free software? Why must all software be free, and why must all devices accommodate free software? The free software movement needs to make something as interesting and as compelling as what

Apple does well because it presents old technology in a way that is much easier for the masses to grok and use. I don't know why this offends geeks. I'm a geek and I love it when technology is presented in an easy to use way. I hate TV re

This thing paired with Siri would be awesome. "Siri, what's the temperature at home?" "Home is currently at 65 degrees." "Siri, set home to 75 degrees." "Temperature set to 75 degrees, it will take 15 minutes to reach this temperature."

Depends on what stack you want to develop in. For an MVP you could try: Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.1, HAML, SASS, jQuery, MySQL 5.5 It might not be the stack you end up with, but you'll learn enough building that to get started. Start here with t

He made many points, Javascript not having great tools and IDE's is only one of them. It's a valid one though, the Javascript IDE's out there aren't very good. However, that's a function of community support, not language quality. Persona

I read a bit more into Dart, its optional typing is very interesting. I might even like that if it were a change to Javascript itself. Of course Javascript has problems, every language has problems associated with it. They all have streng

The only problem I have with this sort of development effort is that it fails to recognize that Javascript is an awesome language unto itself and has no need of "fixing" by introducing a completely new language that is completely different.

People can argue with "boring", call it redundant instead and you'll get less harsh feedback.

There's already a language that runs on the server, runs in the browser and compiles to Javascript. It's Javascript!

What would be neat instead of filling out a bunch of questions and then getting results would be to list one question at a time and have it adjust your estimated totals as you complete questions. You could spin it positive by listing your

This seems to me to take up a similar space in javascript as velocity and freemarker do for Java. They attempt to make programming simpler for designers to work with and instead end up with a language that is too complicated for a designer

You're probably worrying too much about scaling right now. Worry about supporting a few users with a minimum set of features first. Then go get those users. Then scale. That said, node.js is awesome, and good for what you are looking for

My problem with this announcement is they try and tell their customers what a good deal this is for them when it is obviously not good for them. It's a more expensive deal then what they currently have, if they had been upfront about it an

True, I was considering things like decreasing populations. Example, if you take all cities/countries on the planet with declining population and plot their current population, I would expect the reverse of Benford's law. Wish I had time

Seems to me that when you have a group of somethings that are constantly increasing in size it would be natural for the number 1 to come up in the first digit more often because in order to get to 2, you need to pass through 1 first and in

The next company you get in, if you want to have as much say as everyone else you have to be in on the ground floor and get an even split of the equity, otherwise you will always just be an employee of the company. It sounds like this tim

This is probably closer to what you are looking for around object oriented programming. Javascript uses this. Prototype-based Object Oriented programming: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming

To me the biggest benefit of ActiveRecord is the database introspection to dynamically create the objects attributes based on the columns in the database. This doesn't do that in Java, it parses rails migrations to generate the java classes
