I believe they use the assembler but not the whole tracer. I think the modifications were too heavy so it was pretty much replaced. I could be wrong though, I can't find the reference.

A version of ECMAScript which never really happened. The planning for v4 was pretty much a derailed project.

I have yet to see Kinect actually achieve the range of motion play the Wii did. While the tech is cool, having buttons is still very important to most kinds of games. Maybe developers will figure this out but so far MS lacks breadth in thei

Node.js has a heap size limit. One of the biggest weaknesses IMO well before people complain about CPU cores.

Fair enough, though I'm rarely obsessed with the absolute speed of code while developing. Tools like clang have brought this experience a long way as well.

Obscure? It's interesting but I can't see a case where I'd be recompiling C code every time I want to run something. On the other hand, we can't just go AOT compile using V8 (AFAIK) so let's call V8 always slower?

Yeah. I was just pointing that 10gen's arguments seem to evolve at it's own convenience. Developers need to take things more critically (the why) in general instead of stopping at "that makes sense."

Funny that they say multi-master is bad since we can't reason about it. It always feels like they are out to insult the users telling them they are too stupid to use other things because it's hard. I guess all that durability didn't matter

Pretty sick of people calling this RESTful... anyway, for those who do care about URL design more than their model CRUD, I've been using this with success: https://gist.github.com/970992 It removes flawed tradition and makes it a lot easi

Well, he also mentioned that he'd recommend people look at Io, Haskell, and some others IIRC. But Derek's question was a separate instance.

by strmpnk 15y ago
I doubt that's what he means. Regardless, very few people would pay for code like that now that the web is ubiquitous.

The brand in this case has been Android lately. Even so, HTC was successful well before the new wave of smartphone competition because people actually tried phones in stores. I rarely hear about someone picking a phone out in store vs. hear

I'd say the hope is that Palm has the capability to do just that with the resources HP brings (cash flow and other existing hardware vendor relationships). I'm skeptical that it will be an iPhone like explosion in any case and people expect

I think a large part of this is that smart phone buyers are likely on either cheap phones (barely hitting android on the lowest end) or contract phones. Signing a two year contract or putting down $600+ to get a phone is not a commitment mo

They seem to be doing work on that. Granted, their new hardware is just barely coming along with the Veer, Pre 3 and TouchPad. Time will tell how much of the old Palm designs they can fix.

by strmpnk 15y ago
It's pretty hard to call webOS a chopping block item. I'm sure they know better than to kill it off before any momentum is gained. They just _barely_ released the Veer. Regardless of what they claim of reviews, time still needs to play out

It depends on the data. For one app I've written my own CouchDB driver which, as slow as CouchDB is known to be, seems to kill most AR equivalent code. That's pending release as soon as it's stable. Generally speaking, I think AR's problem

Interesting, though I no longer use ActiveRecord in my largest app because of how slow it is (even in Rails 2). Try checking the overhead of instantiating (no save or db lookup) a simple model instance with 2 fields for example. If you mana

By "shortly after" you mean 1 year after, I take it? Which also makes that available just under a year on AT&T today as well. So it hasn't really been that long and now we are hearing about a new OS and new hardware. Not sure I know any

From what I've heard from the company, the merchandizing for the fashion business has been under pressure for quite some time. Their early growth was mostly limited by having goods on hand. Now the lack of product distinction and lower marg

While I understand the reason to support social network sign-ins, I'm certainly tired of seeing sites that require it. Hopefully this trend will end at some point.

I've seen quite a few apps written in phone gap work really well on iOS devices. I think many people are surprised how well an apps experience can be with this tech... granted, lots of people don't know that large numbers of apps are really

Mostly some quick aliases in mine: https://github.com/strmpnk/dotfiles/blob/master/.gitconfig I do like the push mode setting in newer git versions as well.

This guy is pretty dense to think that his argument is any different for any system. You control your SLA in traditional datacenters by using multiple locations or maybe tier 4 isolation. Now why would we need to worry about the same things

These days I can't tell the difference in speed between QS and Spotlight. Lion will also make that a bit faster and each entry a little nicer. I do miss the "verb" concept in QS, but I'd rather than it'd do a spotlight search and then overl

Awesome. I'll definitely give this one a spin at the office.

Actually, while it will do that it also tries to shift edges to lie on pixel boundaries when possible. This distortion can make edges look clearer though it also looks brutal with certain type faces. Most people like whatever they are used

Actually, that's not true. ReST was developed in parallel with HTTP 1.1. It used the basics from HTTP 1.0 to express some of the new ideas. You can read about the original idea in Fielding's disertation here: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fieldi

Exactly. ReST as a concept is not even tied to HTTP. HTTP's design was just heavily influenced my ReST so it happens to be good at it. Somehow people are obsessed over URL formatting and HTTP specificities... while they are important, it's
