Well, it is not for every comment thread for every page load for every user. For anonymous page views we cache the output so unless there is a new comment (or other changes to a thread) we serve cached (previously generated) javascript file

Can't wait for Apple banning apps because their developers use GMail.

A situation where everybody is able to watch everybody else is an utopia (or dystopia, depends on your point of view). I don't really think it is possible and I am not sure I would like it if it is. Also let me clarify that I am not saying

Oh, according to http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=title:(Programmer,+Python)&... these stats for Python programmers came from four job postings with five postings total (I guess the fifth one is without salary). Not too impressive.

It depends on the application. I would install Google Voice no matter whether it has been approved or rejected by Apple.

This once again shows us that Obama has an insanely great public relations team.

Yes. Plus, you can install any application without using the Store at all.

I don't understand how does it make you more productive vs using default shell-based tools. Those in the IDEs and text editors make somewhat sense but I don't see any advantages of separate, GUI applications.

Switched recently to the Intel X25-M. Experience is very, very positive. My computer now boots in less than 15 seconds and Apple Mail opens in less than a second. The price was pretty high when I bought it (it went down since then) but it i

Finally, every time [your name] uses Pandora.com, [your name] necessarily makes a separate copy of a song in Random Access Memory, or RAM and on the Hard Disk Drive, or HDD. This is an unlawful copy. This is so ridiculous it is even not fun

I was talking more about general audience. I understand that people who read SciAm won't magically switch to the Twitter and YouTube videos as their main media for public discourse. P.S. Not related to the main topic, but you might find it

I would really like to see some statistics about online press because it is not clear for me at the moment if people are moving online or just simply stopping to read. If it is the latter, we have a huge problem. I've got this question afte
