That's the thing - the choice isn't between languages, but between tools. For example, having a lot of libraries is not strictly a language feature, but it does effect choosing one over the other. I'm not going to be stupid enough to deny

I'm fully aware of this, but that can hardly be accounted for as a feature of the language itself, which was what I was asking about.

1. Everything's a template. Hardly unique. Microsoft's (now deprecated) ASP had this. ASP.Net can also be treated like this if this is desired, although most of the time it isn't. 2. mod_php is stupid simple. Makes deployment is a cinch.

If there were a product statement for PHP, it’d probably be something like "only a drunken Martian could come up with this." I know I'm pretty much stating the obvious, but this is the problem that will keep PHP cemented in its current st

It's about the complexity of the problem, not the implementation. At least I found it interesting. I had no idea it would be this much work to get these seemingly basic routes worked out.

Err no. Slashdot had karma-points long before they shifted to simply "Good" or "Excellent" and stuff like that.

Or maybe it was just that the "simple" Linux solution wasn't really that simple to the person who didn't already know Linux and the software used there? And the the "complex" Windows based solution was already well known, both how it works

Looking at the poll on that site I'm obviously pissing against the wind, but if you have a decent web-framework exposing your services standarized using SOAP involves absolutely no extra effort. None. I can see lots of people disagree and I

This will probably be a good test for Android as a platform. If all the existing Android apps breaks horribly on the Nokia, we can pretty much declare Android the new J2ME, just in OS form. This sure as hell don't sound promising: "McDermo

Does the author of this junk really think there would be a internet worth mentioning if everybody had to pay the same inflated bandwidth-rates as consumers does? If anything, this is a (flawed) argument about how consumers should pay less a

Posted with the heading "If you suck at math, posting more of it will not make it better". Hopefully you approve of the headline I gave you. Now let's see if it goes live.

I'm not claiming this is the case, but would someone who has followed the Python development care to enlighten the rest of the world about this? With the statement that Python 3 "will break compatibility" and nobody objecting is Python slow

I'll just refer to my previous comment about twitter. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=378541 Outside hacker news and "Valley-oriented" news-sites I've hardly heard it mentioned. Twitter may have potential, but it still has massive usa

I just signed up for twitter. This was my experience: 1. Horrible unicode-failure on importing contacts from gmail. Yes all those fancy non-ASCII characters are actually being used around the world, even for names. 2. Only person I "know" o

Before anyone gets any ideas and as the article mentions: This is now fixed in the iPhone 2.2 software update.

Your point is valid, and I wish I could give you an extra vote for coining(?) the word "Fad-driven development".

I use Windows and I'll use the Adobe PDF plugin any day. From Adobe Acrobat 5 to 6 the changes were truly horrible, and the reader became bloated as heck, which made me stay at Acrobat 5 for quite a while since Acrobat 6 seemed to offer no

You should be developing mobile sites, not iPhone sites. Or do you think that making "MSIE only" sites too is an acceptable way of dealing with web-pages and users?

While I'm not surprised by this, it kinda sucks. If you are going to make mobile pages, being able to test on as many browsers as possible is a good thing. With moves like this, Apple pretty much forces me to keep a Windows Mobile phone aro

Ok. So it's fancy, 3d and all that. I'm still not sure I see the benefits over the built in Maps application though.

It would be nice if the FF crew grew some balls and gave the US software patents the finger. Support for H264 would be much nicer than support for the nieché format that Ogg Theora is. It might be open source, but it has also been lacking i

I'm not totally blind to banner ads. I still consider them visual noise and hence consider them annoying. Whenever I am on a machine without ad-block, I find myself having to scrolling a lot more, and usually I do it a lot faster. Ad-block

Well, that might be. But in this context I wasn't even talking about running full Silverlight apps, just having a decent browser-independent, cross-platform Python runtime.
