Thats another Then... you could add - Then they said it didn't have an ecosystem of frameworks like OSX or .NET the frameworks will come. It's undeniable that the web, and tooling surrounding it is reaching critical mass.

Looks like I didn't communicate too well. I wholeheartedly agree that JS is a real language. It's my main language and I've written tens of thousands of lines of the stuff. It has it's quirks but I like coding in it. My "JS as a 'real' lan

The last slide was interesting: http://brendaneich.github.com/Strange-Loop-2012/#/50 - First they said JS couldn't be useful for building 'rich internet apps' - Then they said it couldn't be fast - Then they said it couldn't be fi

number of IE10 users is a rounding error... why would a (presumably) solo developer waste precious time supporting it?

Yes deliverability is always going to be an issue. Sending mail from your own domain is really hard. For example, after jumping through all the required hoops to establish trust for my domain I still was going straight to spam for any hotma

I think OP mean that }); doesn't on its own affect program logic, and, realistically if you're reading JS all day your brain is filtering those characters out for you. The other argument is that }); is line noise and therefore unnecessary,

Unless it's a very simple game (very little animation, no physics etc) then a game that uses the DOM (and CSS) for game objects will perform horribly. HTML5 canvas is definitely a possibility though. Check out http://impactjs.com/ Its a g

This really is excellent... shows an amazing level of creativity and skill. Just bear in mind that these effects will incur a huge performance hit compared to bitmaps.

ahhh please don't give up on openexchangerates.org, it's an awesome service which I'd be happy to pay for.

How many times have you look into webkit or gecko source code to fix layout problems? That's not really the point. Let's use the Adobe Flex Framework as an example. If you bought into Flex 5 years ago then you're probably startin

"CSS3 is just a standard." That's a very strange criticism. Would you prefer a proprietary black box to do your layout for you? "Do you have a full CSS3 implementation embeddable in programs" Another strange one. You can embe

check out the CSS3 flexible box model... it'll blow your mind :)

The new CSS3 flexible box layout changes all that. It's incredibly rich and designed to obviate the need for clumsy CSS layout hacks. Check it out if you haven't already... it is the missing piece for app-like layouts for the web. The incre

wow there are a lot of things i'd do on a budget but flying isn't one of them (i'm very risk averse by nature)! It really is refreshing to see a non-web start-up mentioned here on hn. Well done to you guys and I hope the negotiations pan ou

The marketing site looks great and I like the sound of the idea, however I was surprised to see this as a paid-for service. This is not because it is data not worth paying for but rather because I usually start thinking about new tech at th

At this point you are the product Patrick. The second you decide to monetize the patio11 brand (maybe by writing a book?) you're going to print money. PS: write a book.

I give up on long threads. There's no way to know at a glance which comments I've already read which makes keeping up-to-date on a quick moving discussion so painful I just give up. A simple colour coding of replies would make it much easie

The scary part is not the regulated market, but rather the black market. What happens when an unscrupulous mafia family starts doing DNA printing-for-hire?

Looks really nice. I'm a high school teacher. We use Moodle at my school. If I were to pitch this to my school how would I describe the benefits of this over Moodle? One of the highlights for us is a local install and AD integration. Does y

Great job on the page linking UX. Very intuitive. I'm working on a similar product so it's good to see what others have come up with. Good Luck!

I don't think that we will see totally autonomous cars _in_our_lifetime Now you're moving the goalposts to suit your argument. Supersonic flight was abandoned because it is expensive and prohibitively noisy. Will some set of obstacles als

That's certainly a LOT better than I would have thought, although still depressingly short of the 100% reduction that computer controlled cars would give us.

Ok I see what you were getting at now but I still don't agree with your conclusions and here's why: 1. Anti-drink driving campaigns and counter measures don't work. People make the choice to drive while drunk when their decision making powe
