Most of these arguments can be made about ColdFusion ( http://www.getrailo.org/ or http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-family.html ). It has problems of its own, but a wildly inconsistent language / API isn't on of them. If I were re

Notch is effectively creating an in-game "craft" that actually requires skill. And just like in the real world, people who have that skill should be allowed to profit from it.

Fair enough, but the jarring disconnect for observers is the same.

This reminds me of Color. As though someone has managed to create money out of spin and thin air.

I notice that you aren't mentioning any either. Cohen is quoted as saying that current P2P protocols aren't good at handling large events.

I don't really see how this represents an introvert's experience. It does kind of match how someone with Aspergers' (or in an unfamiliar culture) might see the situation - navigating a maze they usually can't see, and having to blunder into

Visual Basic played a similar role for me many years ago. I've moved on since, but at the time it was exactly what I needed. The value of a WYSIWYG GUI editor and a simple event system to a budding developer can't be overstated.

You should be explaining your value proposition on the first page. If I had gone just by what I read there I would have assumed that Uberzet was an alternative upload-and-get-public-link UI. For everyone else: it is an index of the public D

If you can get games in machine readable format, it may be possible to develop a ML approach that figures out the most likely identifications based on relative positions and as much information as image processing provides.

It will be interesting to see which does better - the entrenched giant or the agile upstart.

Please don't submit to reddit, then submit the reddit post to HN. Unless the meta-conversion is itself interesting, the original link is better. http://www.viget.com/inspire/stop-making-sprites-compass-sas...

There is plenty of room for polishing the default UI. But... 1) Google+ != Twitter. They are competing with Twitter, but that is an argument against making a Twitter clone, not for . 2) A tiny number of users would use those configuratio

Interesting app, but comparing it to Google+ is a bit of a stretch.

Blog engines are a subset of CMSs. They're supposed to be restrictive - that simplicity is part of their value. If they wanted a CMS that would allow them to add their own types of content, they should have gone with a CMS that was more "

I've wished for change overviews like this. Paypal policy changes in particular - when they send an email simply to say that their 10 page policy document has changed, that isn't helpful.

It's very interesting that the "lead software engineer" is considered an appropriate spokesperson in this situation. I think it says a lot about Google's internal culture in general, and Matt in particular.

The idea that it is valid to insert arbitrary and tangential (if not completely unrelated) laws into bills is something about the American system that baffles me.

Sure, you can argue that iMessages is limited due to the iOS requirement. That isn't a small weakness - that's a killer. A replacement that isn't device independent isn't a replacement.

I can't wait for the RAY GUNS and CLOCKWORK SPIDERS. The use of capitals in this title is simultaneously appropriate and absurd.
