I'd like to see some predictions and designs of experiments to test this theory.

That is seriously cool. Go for it!

1. He probably meant complete freedom of what to do. You know as well as every other founder out there that 95% of what you do in business or consumer facing software ain't sexy. 2. Some people choose to sacrifice everything. Most startup

Ok, bad choice of words. I was simply asking for less of a statement and more of an explanation.

Please explain how he is wrong?

That's like saying you shouldn't buy a lottery ticket because its unlikely you are going to win. Littlewood's law says we are likely to experience events that are one in a million relatively frequently. So are you really saying that you wou

Really? Do you have the stats on that?

You are kind of missing the point. A public system is fine (I live in one), but I'm not using public if I can afford to go private. It's the best of both systems: if you can't afford private treatment, you are guaranteed some treatment. I

Are you saying that if you had a young son/daughter, and their walk-to-school route when straight past a sex offenders house you wouldn't consider taking another route? Theres something like an 8% rearrest rate for treated and ~15% rearrest

Does anyone else think they would love to open source it, but the publishers won't let them? Surely Amazon would love to be able to put all their books on the kindle without DRM. But the publishers would be up in arms if this happened, as t

I've just read all your comments. Do you have a blog?

I agree, it's much faster. When hiring for a developer position I usually ask "what's the most recent scientific paper you have read" and ask them to discuss it. Extra credit is given if it's in a different field than computer science. I ha

"How high the peak is is all that really counts". You severely underestimate the bodies predictive capability. There are 21+ pathways feeding into the insulin response system, all of them trying to prepare the internal system to get rid of

Correct - but tecnically all food causes a blood sugar "spike" - it's the rate of change, and potentially area under the curve that counts. We know the body treats glucose in the bloodstream like a poison in the sense that it tries it's dam

Show me where I said designing original content was easy. Show me where I claimed behaviour would be copied as well. The claim was that GWT is simple to style. Surely I proved that claim. It's HTML and graphics people!

by trapper 17y ago
I never said that. The claim was that styling a gwt app is simple. "GWT is just html.Taking cappaccinos style and porting it to gwt would only be a couple of days work, if that." I never claimed that their interaction was easy to clone.

The demo may have looked rough because it was recorded in some weird format. The images used were the same as 280, so it can't have looked too much different - here, take a look at this comparison: http://i42.tinypic.com/2rqmx3o.jpg Here

Proof: http://tinypic.com/r/2uym3is/5 Of the two hours it took to create that, most was spent making a video, learning gwt 1.6 and downloading images from 280north (they make it hard).

Sorry to reply again, but this bugs me. Go to 280slides.com and tell me: what would you say is the hardest part about replicating the style of that site? Keep it specific (e.g. dialog borders or listbox), I'd like to know. I'm obviously mis

I've got far too much work on at the moment but if I get a chance I'll post a tutorial. What in particular have you found hard?
175.
by trapper 17y ago
Well, I've at least styled a gwt app to be very similar in a short period of time. Usability was left to the developers. I think I might have to post a tutorial.

I didn't realise styling a website is difficult? Are you saying you couldn't style a website to look like cappacinnos given firebug and a few hours?

by trapper 17y ago
GWT is just html. There are plenty of frameworks out there to make designer->programmer workflow work well. It's like saying that rails doesn't look good. Taking cappaccinos style and porting it to gwt would only be a couple of days wor

Kent: I looked at your website and saw the price. 10usd per month for a desktop product? That's pretty strange if you ask me. Subscriptions are usually for server based installs or online value added services. Price it like every other desk

Surely everyone has been using a homegrown version of this since they started with css? We use a build script to generate our css files with things such as: .header { background: @BACKGROUND } .maintable { margin-left: 5+@DEFAULT_MARGIN } I
