Thanks, I should have clarified. Here is the breakdown according to Phil's post linked below:

ASP.NET ASMX Web Services, WCF Web Services, and the now-defunct ASP.NET AJAX automatically wrap with {'d':...}.

ASP.NET MVC does not.

Phil explains that the reason there is a difference is that with MVC there is no common client library that automatically strips the {'d':...} wrapper. So they felt it would be too confusing for users.
http://haacked.com/archive/2009/06/25/json-hijacking.aspx

That was an old article so maybe they have changed the default behavior since then. In any case, you can manually wrap the response with {'d':...}.
Hopefully some javascript engine maker will open up their engines to either accept javascript or the statically-typed IL that the js gets compiled into. Then someone can write some statically-typed javascript-like language for us to use. Maybe, as a first step, allow some inline-IL in the javascript code?
As far as I can tell, the "problem" with Linux on the desktop is that there is no consensus that there is a problem.

The category of people who use Linux, but complain about the desktop experience, seems to be a vocal minority (of the already tiny minority of computer users that use Linux).

The overwhelming majority of us have moved on. My Linux desktop use is now limited to the once a year that I install a distro to force myself to use a different OS for a couple months, mostly to see what I'm missing. Turns out, I'm not missing anything, so after a couple months I go back to using a system I enjoy.

But here's the thing, the people who use Linux as their main desktop environment aren't crazy, or fooling themselves. They prefer it to the alternatives. They evangelize about it (actually something I wish everyone would stop doing, regardless of their OS allegiance). For them, it's the best way to use their computer for the things that they want to use their computer for.

So I'm not sure that there is a problem. With the exception of the small number of people who fantasize about a world-wide exodus from Windows to Linux on the desktop (who are certifiable, if they think there's a remote chance that will happen), I get the impression that most Linux users are quite happy with it (as well they should be).

I think maybe twelve years ago, if you were a full-time Linux desktop user, you were probably compromising on technical quality for an ideological preference; but I don't think that's been true for a long time.
You can purchase mushroom spores (in syringes) legally, get some simple grow medium, pack it in glass cans, sterilize that in oven, inject the medium with spores, and grow those mushrooms in a converted fish tank (they needs humidity). Takes about 2 weeks.

Spores do not contain psilocybin.

Here is one seller: http://www.thehawkseye.com/ that I remember.

I'm not too familiar with how Kickstarter operates, but since anyone can "back" a project, why didn't you pay the difference to yourself? Kickstarter doesn't keep a cut, and you could've used those thousands of dollars to start your project even though you set your goal too high.
I think the Like button is against Google's DNA which is why all these initiatives seem half assed. Google doesn't want to rely on users to say what they like. Instead Google looks at actual user behavior by examining logs. It's the same reason Google resists limiting or anonymizing logs. It's also the reason Google did the "unthinkable" by combining its cookie with Double Click's - Google derives enormous value by analyzing actual user behavior across both on Google's own sites and across every other site with Google's ads. Asking the user to self report by clicking a button every time seems primitive in comparison and not worth pursuing.
>I really wish that Android fanboys would stop trying to convert/bash Apple users in public and vice-versa.

It's funny because I never see this in public. Majority of the people realize it's just a phone. Only on the internet do you have these nutcases spouting buzzwords such as open and freedom which don't mean much.
Some businesses use legacy software that depend on IE6 and therefore don't want to risk breaking them by upgrading.

Oh great, now I have another item for my To Do list.
It should be noted that there was a scandal involving MDMA research at Johns Hopkins. A study claimed to prove that MDMA caused brain damage, but in fact Methamphetamine had accidentally been administered instead of MDMA.
http://www.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2003/09/60328

Of course, this doesn't disprove other legitimate studies. The interview you link took place well after that scandal.
The article is like 3 sentences, one of which says this.
Fast internet connection might be expensive in Borneo if that is required for your work. Not an issue in Malaysian mainland/ peninsula, but isolated place in Borneo might be different.

This is an impossible question to ask. Everyone is going to simply recommend what they use. We're a Rails shop. I love Rails. I'd recommend it to anyone, but I don't think someone else is "wrong" for using Pylons/Struts/MVC.NET/etc.

Here's what I've observed about programming languages and frameworks. Each programming language has a community. The priorities of that community will dictate the direction of the framework, and to a lesser extent, the language. Frameworks seem to advance/change faster than the core language itself.

So, rather than asking what language/framework you should use, you should be considering what type of community you think fits your team/product best.

As I mentioned, we love Rails. We've been extremely happy with it, but it's a fast moving framework that requires constant learning and comes with it's fair share of drama. I'm ok with that, because our team doesn't mind the pace, and we enjoy the benefits of a stack that has strong "default opinions". I've introduced several PHP programmers to Rails, and they're constantly amazed at the broad nature of the Rails development stack. Aspects like deployment strategies with Capistrano, and now asset pipelining, are all concepts that the Rails community embrace and support. However, if you're not down with having someone else dictate these aspects of your project, Rails probably isn't a good fit for you. That doesn't make either decision wrong.

If you have an MVP, take your time. Short-list three or four languages/frameworks and do the following:

* Run through the "hello world" tutorials for each.

* Have a look at the documentation for each. How well does the documentation read.

* Pick a component of each framework, like the ORM, and dig in to the documentation a bit. How detailed is it? Documentation that looks good at first may turn out to be not-so-great when you get in to the details.

* Drop by the IRC channel for each. What kind of discussion is happening? How are new members treated?

* Look for mailing lists related to the language/framework. What types of problems are being solved? What's the focus of the list?

At the end of the day, you're the only one who can tell you what is the right fit for your organization. Hell, it might be PHP. Don't fall in to the trap of believing that the right language/framework is going to make your product a winner. It's the people, not the tools, that make the product go.

is there some compelling benefit to targetting a js-specific IL instead of something like llvm?
of course it is feasible, but riskier for browser vendors looking for marketshare. the easy incremental path to a better experience is to just make js work better, because the web is already using it.
I've always thought it was a clever move by Google.

1. You can't accuse Chrome of being a trojan horse for their search engine.
2. It makes Microsoft look bad when they default to Bing.
3. When asked, people almost always pick Google anyway.
4. Google now have (another) way of quantifying #3.
If your creation is completely unprotected, there's less incentive to create it in the first place. Would you be as likely to put a year of your time and money into creating something, if you knew it would just be ripped off and profited from the instant you released it?

On the other hand, if copyrights / patents lasted forever, the beneficial effects of competition might never kick in, and in the long run consumers would be the worse off for it.

So I see copyright / patents as a practical rather than a theoretical issue: what's the optimum term for the protection? What length of time will result in the greatest benefit for us all in the long run? Should it vary by type of creation maybe -- shorter terms for less capital-intensive creations, longer terms for others? It really is an optimization problem. The authors of the U.S. Constitution seemed cognizant of the tradeoffs and that they might need tweaking [2].

There was a fascinating story about a manufacturer of bra-rings in a National Geographic article about Chinese "Commodity Towns" a while ago [1]. I'm not sure what Chinese IP law is like, and what recourse if any the original inventor had, but it illustrates the problems quite well.

The title of this book is misleading. It should really be titled "The Art of My Own Language, which I call HLA"

HLA is not assembly, but a high level language of the author's own invention.

I didn't realize that it was HLA and not assembly which was taught in the book. If I had, I wouldn't have posted the link.

Seems questionable, considering that recent versions of Chrome come with Flash built-in.
Blehg, GNU Typist recommends putting two spaces after period. Someone needs a lesson from a typographer.
Sadly, there isn't much to write about because there isn't anything new here. As far as I can tell, tech blogs don't write about Chrome versions anymore -- I don't even know what number they are up to.
I'm not sure how popular assembly is in the modern demo scene on "normal" platforms (modern PCs, not retro platforms or embedded\mobile stuff.) The modern demo scene is mostly about cool GPU tricks written in HLSL or GLSL, which have huge advantages for both performance and space (see rendering the world with 2 triangles - http://www.iquilezles.org/www/material/nvscene2008/nvscene20...). It would be cool if the demo scene started focusing more on pushing CPUs instead of GPUs, but that would require adoption of really exotic graphics techniques that for some reason run better on a multicore CPU instead of a GPU, or a focus on something other than graphical effects, like simulation or audio processing. I agree that if you go back 10 or 15 years ago a lot of work was done in ASM, but GPUs have severely reduced that if not killed it outright.

Game engines still use a little assembly, sometimes a lot on the PS3, but often it's written with compiler intrinsics in C or C++. It also tends to be low level SIMD math code for physics, particles, audio or animation, which is stuff your average game programmer never touches.
I think this bubble is primarily fueled by central banks making money available to primary dealers basically for free. This is unlike the New Economy bubble where the money came from peons who invested in stocks. As soon as the central banks (the Fed in particular) step on the brake, it's over. Thus, lots of truth in what this guy says.
I'd save my biggest thanks to the guys who turned the cute little KHTML library into a seriously modern and scalable engine. Not only do their combined efforts power a full quarter of the desktop market, but probably something like 95% of the modern smartphone market.

Anyone who's ever had to develop for the shitty custom browsers written by LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens (etc etc etc) knows what I mean.

So yeah, thanks Apple.
Ha, I can guarantee you it's not even close to being a trap. Look at my blog, twitter feed anything, most certainly isn't a trap. The login box is for finding your people in your contact list that have been compromised and uses OpenInviter to return the list. If you want to see if you have been compromised then simply do a search in the search box below the login box, no need to enter details if you don't want to.
The book's homepage is at: http://autotelicum.github.com/Smooth-CoffeeScript/
But you do have to confirm your email address to do anything important.
I wish the lesson learned from Chrome was that version numbers don't matter. I think it's unfortunate that some people have drawn the exact opposite conclusion.
The main reason I added the contacts list functionality is I noticed Lulzsec recently posted a database dump of 25,000 users they preened from pron.com. I thought it would be humorous to know which of your contact had been busted looking at porn... ;)
The problem is the same as over control: in the end large corporations would have essentially absolute control over creative content.

Let's say you're a musician in your free time and you wrote a pretty catchy song that you post to your web-site. A coke marketing guy hears it and thinks it would make a great song for an advert. They use the song and it's tremendously successful, people love it and coke has made millions because of it. People refer to it as "that coke song" (your name is in the fine print since in our imaginary world there is still some vague regulation on attribution, in a world with no ip laws at all Coke could claim authorship). In the end, despite it being your work, you receive neither money nor fame from it.

Anyone who has done any sort of creative work knows that larger corporations aren't typically the best at producing it, a world without ip laws would ultimately mean that this issue could simply be overcome through easy exploitation.
Good to know. A fast internet connection would be nice, but 3G is acceptable.

What amenities should a hacker colony have? I'm thinking: fast internet, quiet cabins, food delivered to your door, remote area that is good for walking & exploring, easy access to a nearby town (maybe via shuttle).
If you work in embedded space, there's often sections of code in asm - boot, stack manipulation, OS hosting, etc.

Even in fairly high level application code, I've read disassembly to locate and workaround compiler bugs as recently as a year ago. How else do you know if the compiler is doing the right thing?
Umm, this video didn't show or say anything that wasn't in the videos that caused the "freak out" to happen in the first place. There was no description of how the new html/js/css development platform is going to work, no mention of how it will integrate with .NET, or if it will integrate at all actually. I'm not one of the people who are freaked out, or even care, about this windows 8 crap, but this honestly answers none of the concerns I've seen people have.

tl;dr: you can't answer a question by saying the same exact thing that prompted the question to be asked in the first place -- this is therefore not a "response".
What browser are you seeing this instability on?

MS wants to sell newer versions of Windows.
I'm not sure what the article means by "ahead of schedule". The release date was set months ago, and new versions are always released a few days early via the Mozilla FTP servers.

Firefox 5 isn't a huge release, and there won't be nearly as much fanfare as there was with 4. The point of Firefox 5 is to switch over to the "train" model. The train leaves four times a year, no matter what-- and if a feature doesn't make the train, it has to catch the next train. There is no waiting for a feature.

Incrementing by one each release (rather than 4.1, etc) may seem like Mozilla is making a big deal out of nothing, for the sake of publicity. However, it just means that all releases are equal. There will never be a huge 3.6 => 4 style release ever again, and eventually people will lose track of what Firefox version they have (much like how people have lost track of Chrome versions).

tl;dr: While it has a few cool new features, Firefox 5 is more to get Mozilla in the release-often groove.
Not sure if the author of this piece actually witnessed what the Internet was like without the WWW. Or, more specifically, without NCSA Mosaic, which really jumpstarted the WWW.

My experience back then was that the Internet did grow exponentially even when the WWW was not yet popular. Much faster than Compuserve and others.

Also, the allegation that Linux wouldn't have happened is bogus since development of Linux actually started way before 1993/94 (when NCSA Mosaic made the Web popular).
google also records which search results are clicked by the end users, which is simply an implicit "like" button that was there since the beginning.
"Our lives look a lot more interesting when they're filtered through the sexy Facebook interface. We star in our own movies, we photograph ourselves incessantly, we click the mouse and a machine confirms our sense of mastery."

Is the filtering process people use on Facebook really so different from the ordinary "filtering" of our life stories that happens when we tell people about ourselves in any other context? Sure, when talking to people we don't know so well yet, most of us don't open up immediately about our flaws and vulnerabilities and fears -- on Facebook or anywhere else. But I don't see why that is particularly problematic.

"I did this not without significant resistance, because it's very uncool to be a birdwatcher, because anything that betrays real passion is by definition uncool."

Is having a passion really "uncool?" Maybe some people think bird watching in particular is dorky, but I don't think you can generalize from just that.
> However, MDMA should certainly not be taken more than a couple of times a year. It's not something you mess around with, we don't know enough about how it affects brain chemistry yet.

There are those who find those two sentences a bit curious, and those who do not.
Agreed. I only tried them once, in Amsterdam, and the experience was so great that I have never done them a second time. It could never measure up.

They're going to make four releases a year, so there will never be another major release. Sticking with the old numbering scheme would result in "deflated" version numbers like 4.39.
