Right. It was Google that backed off after seeing its books and watching how the company operates. Digg would have been pretty happy to sell if it could. I was spending my time at Digg during that period. That news was over at Digg.

I can foresee them making a turn on this decision and continuing to support XP until developers actually stop using XP anymore. XP isn't going away anytime soon. It was nice to see short tags "<?" coming back in 5.4. Before that, they u

Yes, it's true that it can be done in any sufficiently good scriptable editor. But once you have written all those scripts to do all those magic, your editor will look more like vim. You have just built your own Vim.

When your cursor is in the center of the word, you can't use ctrl-shift arrow to select that word [it will only select part of the word]. Therefore first you need to move cursor to a side, then start your ctrl-shift work that you described.

A lot of emotions here. Making some of us jump to keyboard without reading carefully.

Tried it. It works. Technically I look at methods as functions with a hidden first parameter that accepts a pointer to the class object's data. If you don't try to dereference that pointer, then the function should work like static member.

Give them some break. Probably they are still building it. Frequently people post to HN before things are ready so that friends can review it and post feedback.

> will require rewrite eventually if it take off The general advice is that once it takes off, you will have the money and can hire the resources to rewrite it. And if it doesn't take off, which is most frequently the case, you lose les

Future scientific predictions have an extremely high rate of over-estimating based on treands of the time, and then missing the real big things that actually will matter in the future. I won't spoil my mind assuming immortality is even a di

People don't buy products after reading disclaimers or EULAs. But they carry some expectations as what to get from it and what not. If they later find a too wide difference between their expectations and how that EULA had been acted upon, t

The ghost towns remain empty for the first year or two. But within five years all chinese ghost towns fill up. That's what I heard. We continue to hear about ghost towns because as soon as old ghost towns are filling up, china continues to

What about speed. If one writes, for example, a video processing library in Clojure will it run slower than if it had been written in pure Java?

Which one can give the answer a fraction of a second faster, or who's voice sounds less robotic means little to me. I am more interested in knowing about speech recognition capabilities, edge cases handling, frequency of getting something w

I have a felling that this iOS vs Android competition might turn out like Mac vs DOS [calling it DOS to show how bad it was] from last century. Mac was winning for a decade. From early 80s to mid 90s. Latest versions of PageMaker, Photoshop

Here is another point that highlights the problem: If I want to write a hello world application in PHP, it's neither as long as <?php print("hello world");?> nor as short as <?="hello world"?> Rather it's simply: hello world

Can I include a C source file in RubyMotion project, compile it, and call the C functions directly from Ruby? That can be done easily with Obj-C. I was looking for its answer for some time now. Our projects include a lot of C code.

When its founder declared this on HN 8 months back: "I'm the creator of Bitcoinica. I'm not so established here. To be honest, I'm only 17." http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2973313 I was waiting since then to see how bad can things po

Bad article. "Slaughtering a sacred cow" and "mixing oil and water" both can be formula for great movies. Which leaves us, not surprisingly, the third reason "produce a genuinely awful product" as the lone one. On a side note, I think not h

Thank you. This [2008] tag indicates I probably read it when it came out. Therefore didn't click on it now. And you probably have saved some of my time. Just wanted to inform you and others how much these little bits of information help us.
