I did that (shared with myself), but all that happened was that a .dropbox file showed up. edit: figured it out. Thanks.

What do you mean by that? A closure like function foo() { var x = 0; return function () { return x++; } } and the equivalent in Python/Ruby/any language with closures hides x even better than a private member in Jav

I understood that as people hating certain kinds of music. Lots of people don't like electronic music, for instance.

It's definitely HTML, from https://dl.dropbox.com/s/2pa7akochkgsnos/IMG_0988.JPG . The blocks are definitely not identical either.

I think yield's coming to ECMAScript Harmony. That should simplify things a lot.

If you're on Windows 7, an update was just released over Windows Update which should fix this and a couple of other issues. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2454826

HTML5 is not a standard. It does not yet behave the same in all browsers that implement it. Different browsers implement different subsets of it. And yet they're converging to implementing all of it. The site you cite is meant specifical

An ubiquitous solution is in the best interests of users. My parents could care less about whether the video is encoded in H.264 or Ogg. They just want it to work on their iPad. Depends on how you look at "best interests". Another way to

That page is meant to show off how Safari handles various HTML5 features. Isn't the point of HTML that all browsers handle it similarly? If that link is restricted to one browser, it isn't better than all the "Designed for IE6" sites you

The other would kill the browser immediately. Firefox doesn't bundle Flash either, and that hasn't killed it.

You call this being "fully behind HTML5"? http://grab.by/grabs/0b694089e83975c385627b134ee8ece7.png Even Microsoft's better than this. edit: could whoever downvoted me explain why he did so?

I think he's referring to the effect in the UI itself. I don't see it either, so it's probably limited to some platforms.

And it goes without saying that the sight of a single developer torpedoing a popular project over the objections of both other developers and users is an awesome commercial for open source. It doesn't seem like VLC requires copyright assi

Yeah -- the first time you go to google.com on IE you see a large advertisement for Chrome in the top-right corner. That is of course the only ad on the homepage -- web property doesn't get more prime than that.

I doubt the app-store model will survive long term In general, yes, but there's a good chance more niche stores like Steam will survive for a fairly long while. * Compared to e.g. either of the Apple app stores, Steam is a very open platf

FYI, Firefox extensions can contain native code. Of course, you need to include a binary for every OS/arch/Mozilla version triple you wish to support.

Yes, because Windows doesn't have less. It does whatever makes sense on each platform -- so on Windows it'll also use notepad for commit messages by default, and look for both .hgrc and Mercurial.ini in the home directory. The pager and edi

I want to move the refresh button to the right of the address bar, since that's what I'm used to. I can't. Back/forward together makes sense. Refresh next to back/forward isn't any better or worse than refresh to the right of the address ba

Chrome is a closed-source browser with a rigid failure of a UI and a sync feature that hands over all my bookmarks and history to Google. I can't even move the buttons around -- what a joke. How any privacy-conscious person can use Chrome i

Huh? Java "protected from decay and dilution"? Compare Java to C#. C# was originally a Java clone, but the designers liberally borrowed from everywhere, worrying about actual use cases and not purity of any sort. Today C# is at the bounda
