The Quake Engine has been running inside browsers for ages. Also if you speak about portability. Flash really isn't very portable when you compare it with the platforms supported by Webkit. Flash has always been a huge mess when it comes to

Same for my Firefox Aurora, even though I think it supports the Web Audio API (not sure, though if it's really up to date).

I don't think this is true. Have you ever read the code of a bigger Perl distribution. For example Mojolicious. https://github.com/kraih/mojo While I also like other languages and for example have great fun using CoffeeScript for my curre

What's so great about it when you hear the same stuff as someone else? Either you don't like that music: You ignore it Or you are a fan of that music: You most likely have it already Neither of them is true: Share a YouTube link. This even

I see why it doesn't work, but why doesn't it work with quotes either?

No offense but the same could be said about Object Oriented Programming. To me functional languages make a lot more sense, because of the "No side effects" stuff. Reminds me of a quote from Richard Stallman: "Adding OOP to Emacs is not clea

True, but everyone tells people to be realistic and not idealistic. I think that's one (not the only) reason for things becoming better. In today's world swimming with the crowd is what works best for most people. Not because it is better,

I also reach ridiculously high IQ score on tests (no, not online one ;p), but I know I am not smart. In fact I am very dumb. This proves that IQ test have a lot of flaws. Besides that I don't think intelligence can be measured. I know neuro

I think Smalltalk is an other language that's at least fun to explore. Especially if you want to know what OO is really about.

One really has to think of the WHY behind such idioms. The reason for not beginning to early are that you might not know what the real bottlenecks will be and therefor sacrifice readability and time for finishing an early version, which wou

I don't consider myself to be a fan of that kind of music, but I always enjoy the Humble Indie Bundle ad. It's so awesome. :-)

But you really should not strive for this. You will most likely become an expert in some thing anyways, but it usually makes people bad programmers, because they stick to stuff, simply because they know a lot about it. For example it's a ve

tl;dr: My theory is that creativity is - or at least is related to - the ability to express yourself. So you usually have _some_ creativity and you most likely can train it. In my opinion and I spent a long time on this topic creativity is

Also why would you allow either password based and root login when you are "pretty careful with machine security"? I had to smirk when I clicked on complex password scheme.

I think I understand what you mean, but I don't think that's what the comment your are replaying to is all about. I think it's good to do both, trust in your knowledge (and so don't "join a priesthood") and still know that you "nothing" (or

There are many ways. One example: On GitHub click on Explore GitHub, Languages, your language, "most forked overall" and choose what interests you. Or in other words look up popular programs written in the programming language of your choic

I don't think seven "Become a domain expert" is a good idea and especially not something you should recommend. If yo really find the right thing you'll know, but it is very good to know a lot about everything.

Uhm, sorry but that's nonsense. I know PHP and Ruby. The latter one very well. While Ruby is a great language I prefer Perl in most situations. While I consider both of them to be very good the primary reasons for choosing Perl are CPAN and

Do you know OTR (Off the record messaging). It uses some nice stuff, like the Socialist millionaire protocol which exactly does this. Comparing values (for example passwords) without sending them. I still use salted hashes, which in this ca

I also created something like this, but it's not public. Call me paranoid, but I don't want to upload (potentially stupid) thoughts somewhere else. Meanwhile it became a project where I try out things. It has a nice API for this. I thought

But Sinatra is more like just the Mojolicious::Lite part with tests and plugins.

(slightly off-topic) Just out of curiosity. Is there a web framework in any language that can compete with Perl's Mojolicious? http://mojolicio.us/ I know Mojo offer more but I would like to know whether there is another language with a f

Ugh, Python?! It's so bad... Just joking, I'm not a troll. ;) I just wonder where they go with Sync. Closely watching the Mozilla community I know there are (still? Has been a while) big plans, but think Firefox Sync really needs a broader

I always liked the idea of renaming Perl 6 to Rakudo, being the major/official implementation. It's also what most other programming languages do. A major, leading implementation, as well as others following. This would also make it easier

Are there open source versions of mapping tools, etc? I know there are clones. Are they compatible?

Oh and Node.js! I'm also coming from Perl and what I always liked is the huge variety of modules on CPAN. JSAN has been around for a while, but only recently both Node.js (npm) and JSAN had a nice growth.

Did you even read my comment or the article? My statement wasn't about Javascript being popular or whether I like it, but about the fact that ground work is important because everything else depends on it.

Who cares about this stuff, when JavaScript/ECMAScript hasn't even a sane split function. And when will ECMAScript receive for each? Why hype new stuff when the foundation isn't nice by now? The only real reason for JavaScript being so popu
