   There is only 1 time acceptable - the ISO-8601 or equivalent time of publication in UTC, under the highest resolution you can get. Format to whatever you need on display. Give an option to the user to adjust the timezone in which the user a

   For which any simple configuration mechanism will do, and as long as you stick with coding to the interface, the problem is solved. So while technically this is called DI in Java, it's simply code taken as granted in many dynamic languages

   I think most of you are missing the point. I think the example DHH used should be interpreted as calling post.publish! is easier than post.publish! Time.now Since when you publish, the time of publication is the only valu

   In light of recent extreme gun violence happening all across the USA, it would be nice if we could see some graphs of lead and gun violence placed together. Better yet, the crime level and lead level graphs for the Newtown, Aurora, Columbin

   Actually, you need to not use a few more features too, like not dynamically attaching properties to objects at run time, and dynamically creating new clasess... but the point is, you don't need to define a new language when all you have to

   I have a better question: when is the Oracle JVM going to support caching of JIT'ed code profiles from the last run so the JVM can start up faster and doesn't have to warm up? This will make running Eclipse soooo much smoother.

   There's no need to have a restricted Javascript. All you have to do is to write code in ES6 with the type annotations and the entire program will be fully type-inferable (tho the inferring part may take a while because you probably need to

    Point 6 is a rather uninformed opinion. The reason the Keychain and Sandbox API are written in C is because they are designed to be used straight up by C programs without calling in obscure Obj-C land. Have you ever wondered why Mercurial a

    Assuming all 8 points are valid. I still will not use MonoTouch on anything ever because it costs $999 apiece while everything else is free.

    You said you haven't used Mercurial much to really compare, and then you compared, and said git is more flexible, and the CLI difference are negligible. So I think you definitely have a bias towards git. I use Mercurial and Git every day, a

    That also happened to be the time when people REALLY wanted to use DVCS but Google Code lacks private repo ability and BitBucket was also getting really unstable. BitBucket was far more stable than Github the years prior to 2010. Mercurial

    I entirely agree with you, but then again, I don't think Mozilla has always had their priorities straight. My favorite example is the 3D view in the inspector. At the end of 2012, you still can't live edit in Markup Panel in any meaningful
