Except Chrome and Firefox both regularly have issues showing up on one platform and not the other, so "Chrome or Firefox testing environments" include the browser and all 3 primary platforms at the very least.

Oh look at that, one of those platforms being Microsoft Windows you've already paid for the license you need for testing FF and Chrome.

Vala sounds like Objective-C (although I'm sure its syntax is less retarded). If people are going to spend time learning some enhanced flavor of C, they might as well learn the more-marketable Objective-C.
The ability for S3 and CloudFront to properly handle GZIP compressed files would further encourage the use of S3+Cloudfront for static websites. As a host S3 + CloudFront have arbitrary scalability, good performance across the globe and is pay as you go.

With GZIP compression, bandwidth drops but more importantly load times can decrease significantly. "It takes several round trips between client and server before the two can communicate at the highest possible speed [and for broadband users] the number of round trips is the larger factor in determining the time required to load a web page"[2]. There was a graph depicting the non-linear impact file size increases have on load times but I can't find it... =[

In the Google article on compression, a 175% increase in a page's size (non-GZIP version of Facebook.com) results in a 414% increase in load time on DSL. Load time does not increase linearly with file size and hence why GZIP compression is so important for performant websites!

Sorry to hear. I made it as a tribute to keep fans just one click away from playing and allow them to refer other (new) players to these games long forgotten (by publishers).

Sure there are technical tidbits but if you read the how-to-play instructions below the game screen there are many little tweaks (such as doubleclicking or doubletapping) that overcome what you're mentioning, and could've given you a more pleasant experience.
Which doesn't detract much from the point: it was a proprietary extension by a specific browser, later adopted by all others.
wow is this ever unpopular. I didn't mean, "of your account", I meant of "your throwaway twitter account with lax security, to see if twitter minds whether several or dozens of people use one from all different IP's".

This is a pretty terrible article.

To recap:

1/2 (2 out of 4) of the namedrops are of dead languages/communities.

The other 1/2 are about languages that don't have much in common in terms of specialization and purpose (Rust and Go).

Focusing on "native" languages is a pretty meaningless delineation anyway.
The Cambrian Explosion of the distributed version control system has passed I think. Git seems to come out ahead. I think it would be easier to just switch to it.

I like Bazaar and used Hg, but this is tool used to collaborate with others (unlike say an editor) so picking a tool that others know and use is important in a team. Darcs has an interesting approach, sure, but that is not enough for it to win mind-share, and I wouldn't spend time looking at bit because I will have a very hard time getting others to do the same.

Also the excitement and euphoria about learning and experimenting with distributed VCs is passed. I feel, for most they have stopped having the "wow" factor and became just a tool in the same category as patch, diff, less and tar.
These issues have been known to Amazon and to serious AWS users for a long time. Why do you expect that this time they will actually do something? It will take more than a simple twitter response from the AWS team to believe that they actually will make changes to fix the situation...

Personally, I would simply not be interested in working for an app developer like Instagram. The only serious problem they faced is getting popular. Sure, there is scaling, but there are so many people that need to scale and many of them also have other interesting problems.

Further, I would not want to work for Facebook for any amount of money. I personally dont' value their service, even though many do, and would feel that I was wasting my short life time.

Finally, I would not have bet on them earning that much in a buyout and think that it's a result of a current bubble more than anything else. I suspect that looking back, their purchase will be a prime example of the 2010-201? bubble.

Hi Jasimiq,

Thanks a lot for your comment :)

There are several ways we plan on making money:

* Sponsored challenges - Companies can use Deed as marketing tool for brand promotions to leverage the engagement amongst its customers/fans. In general everyone can create a challenge on Deed but businesses might pay for some extra features such as advanced analytics, fancy challenge features, support, consultation, announcement, etc.

* HR departments can use the private spaces in Deed for motivation/coaching/entertainment/assessment of their staff

* Integration in third party sites

* Advertisement on the site

That's in general. How does it sound to you?

Honest question: What's the plan with the 4.2M recently raised? That seems like an awful lot for an app. I mean there's no sales force required to sell the product. It's not like it required some kind of data that would take a huge team to aggregate. The apps are built now on both platforms and now there's some debugging to to do but is that really $4.2M worth of work? What that money going to be spent on? Is that 5 years of runway?

I'm happy that they got the funding but I'm just curious as to what the pitch was to justify that investment.

I like to think of Darcs as the PostgreSQL of distributed version control. They both have correctness as their first priority, sacrificing a little performance as necessary. PostgreSQL was very slow at first but it is closing that gap, and I think the end result is better for it. Git and Mercurial sacrifice correctness in favor of pragmatism in some cases, by taking shortcuts such as three-way merges.

Unlike in the relational database world, there is no accepted standard for interfacing with a versioned repository. It remains to be seen whether Darcs, like PostgreSQL, will eventually gather enough steam to build a substantial user base.
Not all languages are (or should be) like C, and not all languages require manual memory management.

If they are going to be programming in Python, there's probably no need for them to be familiar with memory management, or the underlying details of the language implementation - the language is there to insulate you (to a greater or lesser extent) from the machine. Later if it becomes useful to learn about memory management in other languages, they could do so if they are moderately intelligent, it's not rocket science or something that you must learn first or not at all.

More than language-specific knowledge is necessary. Let's say we have two branches to merge:

branch A: rename foo() to bar() and adapt calls

branch B: add baz(), which calls foo()

We can assume that there is no merge conflict here, since A touches various lines within major code blocks and B adds some lines between two code blocks.

Now show me one merge tool, which understands that the call to foo() within baz(), must also be renamed to bar(). Most tools will probably just merge and produce a broken build.

I'm not sure I follow where you're coming from. The biggest thing that I don't understand is what the alternative to c/c/p is. I feel like drag and drop is an even fuzzier metaphor than c/c/p. At best it has most of the issues you've outlined with c/c/p.

But, I'm an Emacs user, so c/c/p is instinctual. If everyone grew up using Emacs people would probably be writing papers about how chaining keystrokes is some sort of deeply evolved human skill.

The best way to get “all substance and no glitter” is apparently Rich Hickey’s “hammock driven development”. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1962051

“To arrive at the simplest truth, as Newton knew and practiced, requires years of contemplation. Not activity. Not reasoning. Not calculating. Not busy behaviour of any kind. Not reading. Not talking. Not making an effort. Not thinking. Simply bearing in mind what it is one needs to know. And yet those with the courage to tread this path to real discovery are not only offered practically no guidance on how to do so, they are actively discouraged and have to set abut it in secret, pretending meanwhile to be diligently engaged in the frantic diversions and to conform with the deadening personal opinions which are continually being thrust upon them.” –George Spencer Brown in The Laws of Form, 1969
whose 'we'?. I'd rather work with someone a little colorful over someone who is dull, all other things being equal. I'd even rather work with someone who occasionally made me wince, or feel uncomfortable as long as they had offsetting high points.

Odds are he'd probably regret the title later, all on his own, and really that's more than enough. Or maybe not- he based the title off his opening story, which I found amusing. Hardly a fireable offense, not even worth a reprimand really.
That doesn't explain all the people buying Macs. What it does explain is why cheap Android tablets can't make a dent in the tablet market, while the iPad, among the most expensive options, prints money for Apple every year. It's the disproportionate importance of branding.

If this was true, it would be true. But it's not, except in the facetious way that the author (presumably) intended it. You're not going to get a publication on the research track of ICFP just by writing a computer game in Haskell. You might well get on the experience report track, but that isn't for original research.
I don't see why you think git's approach to history is flawed. If changes to separate areas are kept separate, how can anyone coordinate on a single set of changes? What if 1 patch does't affect an area, but depends on it staying the same? Sorry, I can't imagine why you would want a commit to contain anything other than the state of the entire repo.

That doesn't mean there aren't easy solutions to your problems, though.

For your first situation (test-merging in coworker commits), why are you doing it on your own dev branch? Say you're working on branch 'mine', just `git checkout -b 'mine-exp'` before merging things. Then you can continue to develop on 'mine' and/or mess with 'mine-exp'. Can't manipulate separate changes within the same branch? Create more branches!

Want to look at the history of only certain paths? Just specify them at the end of your `git log` command (you can get something similar to gitk's output with `git log --oneline --graph --decorate`). If that's not enough for you, there's a whole section on 'History Simplification' in the git-log manpage. It's possible in gitk as well, under View>(New/Edit) view. The penultimate text area lets you narrow the history to commits that affect the specified files and directories.

Could all of this be documented better? Maybe, but in the first case, creating branches is the git philosophy (they're only 40 bytes each). And limiting the log output is something that svn had, so I figured git did as well.

I used darcs for all personal repositories for a couple of years. It has a great UI, but I ended up moving to git for two reasons - a) most projects I was working on with other people were using git, and b) there was nothing like github for darcs (and still isn't as far as I know). It was really nice while it lasted though.

> I don't see why you think git's approach to history is flawed.

I didn't use the word "flawed" nor do I believe it is flawed. If anything I would call it "incomplete," since what I am describing is essentially a superset of Git's existing model. I'm dreaming about whether the future could be better than what we have today.

> Say you're working on branch 'mine', just `git checkout -b 'mine-exp'` before merging things.

I explored this option in my comment. The problem is that it requires discipline that is not fundamentally necessary. It imposes branching/merging busywork that I believe could be avoided.

Suppose I'm right and some of this branching/merging busywork could be avoided. Wouldn't we be in a better place than we are today? Isn't it worth exploring this possibility?

Well, there are some people cough who think that "fighting money laundering" is not a plus, and that the process of fighting fraud (NOT hacking, but "oops my credit card got stolen) shouldn't be at the API level.

Granted, the United States won't look fondly on a protocol they can't have total control and insight into, so a launder-friendly protocol ala bitcoin isn't going to get the endorsement of Wells Fargo.

I have to clarify that my comment was targeted towards current Udacity (other MOOC) participants who wants to learn programming as a value added skill or hobby.

If you want to graduate with CS major and/or want to pick CS as a profession; I do believe you need to have a good understanding on the entire stack. There are no shortcuts to being a good professional and achieving mastery in any field requires committed hard work.
It sounds to me like you're deliberately choosing definitions of terms that make the post false so you can then complain about it, rather than trying to find what the author was saying and extending him the benefit of the doubt.

Research in a more general sense of things nobody has done before, and not just publication track research, is a valid use of the term, and as you say yourself makes perfect sense and is well defended.

Heck, there's room even in the web framework field to do something innovative and not just write MVC-in-Haskell again. (Though even Yesod, the most MVC-in-Haskell framework, has some interesting stuff built around the typing system. I can attest that it is as easy to write an app in Yesod with no cross-site-scripting attacks as it is easy to write an app with one in a more traditional framework.) There's already some interesting work going on there and the projects in progress are clearly not fully exploring the space of possibilities.

There are many possible alternatives to c/c/p in “idea space”, and the little details matter. A better system, though, would have some of these properties: it would persistently store cut/copied content in some kind of list, at least content of manageable size; it would have some way to see the clipboard visually/spatially; it would interact with drag/drop; it would give some visual indication that there was currently copied content, and perhaps the type as well; it would allow a user to interact with the history of cut/copied items in a more flexible way both from keyboard and mouse; it would allow easy conversion of copied chunks into “documents”/“files”/“pages” in their own right.

Many of the problems here intersect with the problems of our current files + hierarchical filesystem + semi-spatial file browser + open/save dialog system for dealing with “content” in general. Ideally, a generally more intuitive and flexible basis for these problems would be built, and the replacement for c/c/p would integrate with these other tools. That’s sort of wishful thinking though. (Well, the idea of replacing c/c/p is also probably wishful thinking. Systemically different approaches like the Canon Cat word processor are all pretty much dead by now.)

I actually am confused about that.. is there a link explaining how HTML5 in Metro will work? This may just sound cynical, but I have to assume that they are partly trying to set up another way to run more interference on the web platform by encouraging a bunch of Microsoft-specific "HTML5" applications.

I mean I know there must be plenty of people at Microsoft who are genuinely enthusiastic about HTML5 and the web as a platform, but when it comes right down to it, I don't know how the business execs who actually understand the technology issues can really support HTML5 as a common application development platform, because I just don't see how that cannot lead directly to less sales of the operating system and everything else.
