In terms of out-of-band, it's being designed that way from the ground up so that we can support as many runtimes as you can imagine. Basically if you can create a service that talks over tcp and can handle JSON, you should be able to add support for it to Light Table. I think that might be the coolest part of the platform. :)

I definitely have thoughts on testing and there's a ton of interesting stuff we can do there.
Okay. Stop.

For all of us who work in the real world with "media" companies, we know you can attract advertisers without needing 20M+ users.
"By asking me not to disclose your idea, the client gives me the impression of someone undervaluing the execution part."

This isn't my impression at all. Execution is the most important part. If you discuss the idea with someone who happens to have more resources than you do, they can execute the idea faster than you and possibly hurt your chances at gaining traction.

The funny thing is, I've done just this. People have discussed their ideas on forums and I beat them to the punch and made money. This is why I know it's important to keep your idea a secret until you are very close to launching (so your competitors have at least a couple of months before they could come out with your idea).

You don't really care because you are just the coder. You will get paid whether the app is a success or a failure. So it's you that isn't really taking the business aspect into consideration.
An example of the “googling…didn’t read” thing: I once signed an NDA that barred several common means of transmitting information about a project, but made no blanket prohibitions—so walkie-talkies, ham radios, telegraphs, semaphore, Morse transmitted by flashlight, &c. were all perfectly admissible. ;)
The voxel article says it, but the GigaOM article it links to spells it out: "Akamai and Limelight pay Comcast to deliver their traffic to their end users. Level 3, on the other hand, is paid by Comcast, ostensibly for transit, but now, seemingly, to deliver traffic that Level 3 has already been paid for — by Netflix."

I feel that Netflix is trying to rally the net-neutrality army to come to its aid, but may not be an entirely neutral player here.

How Secure Is Your Password
Yeah, the biggest problem that a language like Scala will run into will be that the instantaneity will have to deal with a compiler hit, particularly if you have to hot swap code (where possible!) as you edit it. Still, wouldn't be fun if it wasn't a challenge ;)
One of the stated reasons for Dart is that the V8 team was hitting a wall with making JS fast, beyond which a language with cleaner and more optimizable semantics is needed. I wonder, though, whether the nature of that wall has been clearly written up anywhere. I'd like to know if there are tricks in the category of "This would be annoying to write by hand in JS, but would be easy for a compiler targeting JS" that could be used to get around it.

Transcompilers that were target-specific could probably target server-side JS

I had an idea recently that (to me at least) is super exciting: someone should make a good language that compiles (à la Coffeescript/Parenscript) to JS but also to Lua. JS and Lua are close semantically, so it might not be so hard. (If it did turn out hard, it probably wouldn't be worth doing.) That would be a really interesting server-side alternative to both Dart (whose philosophy appears to be "run our VM on the server and compile to JS for the client") and Node.js.

My argument is that ending every line with // is just noise, () is just noise, and ; is just noise, except for the one in 1000loc time that it isn't. And filling your code with noise not only makes your code harder to read and longer to type (if even by a little bit), but it trains you to ignore semi-colons, especially since you do not have a compiler complaining when you miss them. And when semi-colons fade into the background, it is MUCH harder to catch the one case where they are important.

If you were to write ruby, smalltalk, perl, google go, python, coffeescript or any of the other languages with asi, you find that people omit the semicolons in every situation unless for the few they need them, and never run into a problem. For some reason, that is not the case with js. Do all of those other languages "abuse" ASI? I work on a 500k loc ruby app, and I feel very confident in saying there has never been a single case of a bug from an ambiguous statement from asi (although there have been from the difference of && and 'and'), and there is only about 5 semi colons in the whole code base.

Now, js is different then those other languages in that it has a quirk where it treats whitespace and newlines the same for all types of brackets. Realistically (if you are writing for the browser), this only comes up in lines starting with an open parenthesis, since that is the one case where starting a new statement on a line with any kind of bracket makes sense. And even then, the one time you are likely to be doing that is for an immediately invoking function (function(){}()), which isn't exactly you do every few lines of code. So you have a choice on how to deal with this one, fairly uncommon case; either handle it in a special fashion when it occurs, or put a semi colon on every other line. I don't care which one you choose, all I ask is you afford me the same respect :)

My intent isn't to get into a silly language argument over this, but it seemed like you genuinely missed what I was trying to say. If you feel it would personally help you write better code, then more power to you. But I write a lot of semi-colonless code in various languages, and it has literally never caused a problem for me.
Do you have a source? I'm interested in knowing what "best one" means. If it means "cheapest for Netflix", it wouldn't surprise me if this all combines to mean that Netflix have moved the bulk of their traffic to Level 3, who don't pay anything to Comcast; away from Akamai & Limelight, who do (and are therefore more expensive).
Right!

I'm a developer and from my experience, coding=50%, timing+idea=50%.

The reason most idea guys are worthless isn't because ideas are worthless. It's because they usually only have a very general picture (I want to write a Facebook clone that does X) when the details are what really matter.

Ask HN: How do I judge the quality of a programmers work?
I'm developing a curated list of freelance designers and programmers available for off-site hire. But I have no idea how to discern the quality of programmers. Is it possible to quantify it somehow?

PS. I am not a programmer.
Speaking of file conflicts:

I'm picturing an alternate universe in which 'the database' stands in for 'the filesystem'. Data is laid out in a manner logical for its origins. Most programs use the library-provided implementation, of course, but there is a little more variability than in our world.

People have spent the past fifty odd years writing utility programs for manipulating databases instead of files, so concerns like 'moving' data between programs are still basically trivial.

In that universe functions really are the basic building block of code, and the database engine's consistency guarantees handle editing conflicts implicitly (with logging for version control, of course). Too bad, perhaps, that we're here rather than there.

I do medieval and renaissance dance reconstruction and dance performance. Having just been to an event, I took a class on the Dances of the Gresley Manuscript.

Well, what is this manuscript? It isn't a dance treatise, or anything of the sort. Gresley was a law student from the 1530-1550's (we know from latter court cases by a lawyer Gresley). These dance instructions come from the margins of his law book.

He wrote in musical notation, dance notation and other descriptive words. He even left words that have no meaning in the dance community. We have to deduce what he meant by a multitude of methods, none of which we can guarantee.

But back to the topic of OCR... How does these document scanners and OCR's plan to deduce this kind of source written in the margins?
Hmm, this doesn't seem to upload direct to S3?

On building rockets
I'm very interested in how the business side will work out. On the one hand, it's very fair to make some money when you make something great (and it funds ongoing creation).

On the other hand, dev tools are expected to be free and it feeds massive adoption (and if not free, devs have the ability reverse engineer e.g. linux and gcc). The common wisdom is that smalltalk got killed by high prices. There are exceptions: MS VS; some editors. Maybe the older, broader the appeal, and closer to the dev, the greater the pressure for free - so that new, specialized, and close-to-customer tools resist commoditization. Light table is new, but general and close to dev.

The Street_Performer_Protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_pledge_system#Street_... fits perfectly with KS. But personally, I love the idea of making something great and getting rewarded in proportion to its greatness (as in product sales), not a fixed reward. An ideal solution seems to be to charge large customers (e.g. over 10 employees? Over 100?), but I've not seen this explicitly attempted... but I guess it's achieved by "enterprise" versions, with extra features, particularly those needed only by large customers... that may be what is being considered with "some plugins may remain closed source". Then one could create a marketplace for plugins, an app store etc.
It is pretty neat, but am I the only one (rhetorical - I know I'm not) that finds that music grating? That's of the "spacey" variety that is basically cliche, and the first thing I do (see: a quick Eve online game) is disable music.
I could only imagine how awesome developing .NET apps would be like with Light Table using Project Roslyn or Mono's CSharp compiler-as-a-service.
Web 1.0 was not as beautiful as you remember. Most websites had blinking text, bordered tables, under-construction icons and pictures of cats. Around 1998 people started to realize there was more power than just serverside includes and hypertext links to other URLs (they weren't URIs yet).

The problem was, people had to use creative thinking and a bit of duct tape to make it all work. There were battles over valid code vs "whatever, it works", and eventually everyone just sort of accepted that standards won't keep up with innovation. That's about where we are today (browsers are getting better at supporting draft-level innovations, which is a hell of an indication of what they think of this stuff).

Page loads are wasteful, often reloading and redrawing 90% of the same content just so you can see page 2, and the whole window flashes and spins until its done.

Anchors are used for compatibility, and when used correctly, are done so for the very handy fact that the server doesn't need to care about what comes after the "hashbang".

Yes, bad error handling is bad. But, do you remember spending 20 min filling out a form only to have the next page after submit show an error, "sorry, the server could not handle your request", and hitting the back button showed a nice blank form? That's why we do it differently today.

Pagination is a terrible UI. "<< < 1 2 3 ... 7,600 > >>" is not only useless unless you want the first or last page, it also takes multiple reload and redraws to get anywhere in between (try getting to page 3,475, or even trying to comprehend what is on that page by the time you get there).

Client-heavy apps are actually embracing the beauty of hypertext; they don't require you to download and install new mobile apps, because they work in the browser you already have.

I think you're romanticizing the simple web and damning web applications based on the assumption that they are all poorly developed. The relevant argument I see is that web application developers should pay more attention to the non-developer, end user experience.

I think we're making good progress with "awfulness.js" sites.

Good luck, and stay strong. I think the demo you created was incredibly impressive, and I suspect a lot of people will therefore expect a lot from this product. This is going to sound overly pessimistic, so please forgive me - but I suspect that, as time goes on - and it will, because to me the goals of this project seem huge, and the problems you're attempting to solve seem hard - you'll probably cop a bit of backlash over the time taken, not living up to expectations, etc.

I hope that if that happens, you're able to ignore it and keep working on it anyway. Regardless of whether you accomplish your goals or not, I'll happily be throwing some money into the kickstarter and crossing my fingers for you guys, because the actual idea behind this is awesome.

I could not switch away from vim for some kind of meager and broken vim-ish interface. Apparently "vim bindings" just means jklhiI$^0/ support, as if that's in any way able to approach an iota of what makes vim great.

Don't even bother with vim key bindings. I have yet to see even half-hearted support for a decent vim like interface on these new web based editors. The fact of it is that being as powerful as vim requires a decade or two of work more than anyone is willing or able to offer. If these people looking for a new editors all the time are not already using vim I doubt they would have the patience it would take to get it up to vim's speed.

To some extent it is culture and the current incentive model, and to some extent it's just a need to be pragmatic. If you're a grad student who wants to defend in a certain amount of time and you have various deadlines (conferences, concerns about being scooped), you end up hacking up some code that gets your work done, allows you to analyze your data and publish. That's what gets you recognition, helps you defend, etc. In some cases, the code is your work and those groups spend to spend more time on making sure the code is robust, re-usable, and sustainable.

In general though the system doesn't encourage you to follow good practices at all. Having said that I've definitely seen a change over the last few years towards more awareness.

How does the Pebble Watch fit into your understanding of the difference?

They have a small team, single designer. Although they built a consumer electronics product before they seem to run on fairly limited funding.

Although I don't know of any Kickstarted consumer electronics designs that have already shipped successfully, so maybe the specific viability is not yet proven.
Maybe, but probably not a ship that carries 1000 passengers, 1 million barrels of oil, fish, bring iPads from China or whatever ships are generally built for. So the answer for the real world is probably not.
I agree with the sentiment of what (I think) you're trying to get at.

However, the problem that some people have raised is that there are many different task management/project management systems out there, and clients interfacing with multiple technology suppliers may not want to learn all of them. Email has one (simple) interface that you can use to delegate tasks to all your suppliers regardless of what management software they use. Furthermore, the client creating the task may not be able to describe it to the same extent that an engineer needs, or know enough to fill out all the meta data required.

To this end, they send their task via email to the engineer (or project manager) and this person enters it into their company's management tool, transmuting it into the appropriate technical specs/jargon at this point.

This may seem like an "extra step", but there are tools for Outlook/gmail to create tasks in popular task management software such as JIRA or Basecamp. Furthermore, someone will likely still have to clean the data up to make it engineer friendly, and assign it to someone. As long as this has to be done, it doesnt seem like copying/pasting an email into a task description is really that much extra work.
I wholeheartedly agree that there is more to Vim than jkhiI$&0... but berating such a fantastic product is very counter productive.

Instead, think of ways (or contribute ways) to improve the VIM plugins to Code Mirror. Even suggesting which other parts of VIM you find so useful would be of more use than berating them for using VIM plugins instead of VIM itself.

Poor aerodynamics would make the difference smaller, not larger.

We can drastically increase fuel efficiency by making our cars out of carbon fibre, and it doesn't have to be more expensive or less safe. Check out Amory Lovin's concept car for one example.

We believe lighter = less safe, despite evidence to the contrary (in reality it's smaller = less safe, lighter = safer). Perhaps computer controlled cars will allow us to stop feeling the need to fortify our cars more and more, making the road less safe for everyone.

But that's not what happened here. Instagram, to my knowledge, has never made a penny off of advertising. There is no clear business model. Maybe it's advertising. Maybe it's charging for additional filters. Nobody really knows, not the Instagram founders and not Facebook executives.

How does anybody know whether a business would pay for advertising on a photo sharing app? People are always talking about "just turning on the profit spigot" whenever you want. I don't see any evidence that it is that easy.
This is perhaps an inelegant solution but i've found it useful sometimes, you can get standalone functions of most of these by using a JS port of PHP functions called phpjs (phpjs.org), while i understand PHP is as cool as toe fungus on HN right now, its a solution.

EDIT: Actually having now looked at the code, it seems a lot of it is specifically using the phpjs library.
Taxis are expensive only for individuals. Share a cab with 2-3 other people and the costs plummet. Mix in some government subsidies and better integration with existing public transportation systems and you have a perfectly adequate cost-effective solution right now. Without any fancy robots.
It's around 10 times the cost of a car with a driver.

Driverless cars will not be as cheap as cars which require drivers.

There will be ongoing operational and maintenance costs which cars with drivers do not have.

Liability insurance will likely be lower for driverless cars, but damage and theft insurance will likely be higher.

Not every cab needs to be operated 24/7, there are clear peak and non-peak times which allow for fewer than #Cabs x 5 drivers for full practical coverage.

And, of course, there's no guarantee that any savings in operation would be passed on to the consumer (see electronic publishing).

So I don't think it's automatic to say driverless cars will result in cheaper transportation costs. It's possible , but it's far from guaranteed.
