That is no longer accurate. G-WAN now supports C, Java, C++, D, and Objective C out of the box. [1] I am the someone who is implementing FastCGI support.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful because I'm sure you've put in a lot of work on your part of the project, but little to nothing on that page makes any sort of sense. Where is this terrifying efficiency hit from "the frenetic wave of abstraction layers" that the author of that page is claiming? Does the author even realize that he sounds like a huckster and his claims about other projects have only a tenuous relationship to reality? And why would I trust the judgment of developers who think that writing web applications in C is a perfectly cromulent idea?

Second reaction: am I actually supposed to take seriously something that looks like that Java sample? 'Cause, er, I know a teeeeeensy bit about Java, and my first reaction was "what kind of moron would write Java like that?". Java isn't C, and this guy's bizarre worship of "programming to the metal" (it's a web architecture for god's sake!) makes no sense there.
There was as much skill as you wanted there to be.

Maybe not many people did it, but if a person wanted to, they could avoid the cookie cutter builds, think through their character's skills and come up with clever original builds using the less popular skills. Maybe they wouldn't be soloing through the later acts of hell, but they could still have a ton of fun dominating nightmare and early hell, and they could still help out in grinding hell leveling runs.

That entire aspect of the game is basically gone now. You get lucky with items, buy items, or your character just sucks.
Why did you choose it over more conventional fare?
I did note in the comment about PHP support. I did notice the website mentioned C++/ObjC, but I just lumped those in as C variants. The Java integration looks interesting.

The author in a forum post did say that he doesn't think that FCGI is the right way to go and suggested asking Zend to build a C library for GWAN that could run PHP code [1]. I find that unlikely unless GWAN really starts getting a large following.

They have redefined the word 'free' into a fine mist if they expect you to believe Apache and nginx are not free. They're doing something I've seen done before; oddly, it was mainly being done by Usenet trolls.

There are no "conspiracy theories", but a big economic war going on here between a few extremely wealthy groups, fighting to get the power. You just have to read the newspapers to see it happening.

And those governments of a 100 years ago, were mainly plutocracies, where the aristocracy exploited the rest of the population to a level incredibly hard to imagine today. Peron was the result of that situation. And the coups that followed were the bloody attempts of returning to that model. But of course, neither model is the right one... but society here is so polarized that it's just SO hard to find a point in the middle... Maybe some day... =(

>>Ultimately it comes down to the individual, and whether they want to be a cog in the wheel, or whether they are interested in both improving themselves and thereby improving their employer.

Yes this is important, but I think if your employer is in mood to listen. The next immediate step for you must be to start fishing for a job outside. And there is a reason for that. Your time is worth doing something important which is rewarding to you and your employer(I mean both in terms of value and financially).

Challenge the status quo and try to improve things, if you absolutely cannot(for reasons beyond your control) you must leave people to their state and move on.

I recently did some informal research and found that Canada has by far the most positive public opinion towards immigration among "rich" Western countries.

Many European countries view immigration in almost entirely negative terms (largely for xenophobic reasons) and have been competing to make immigration of any kind harder.

The UK has even recently made it harder for foreign graduates of UK universities to get work visas - a policy which I find to be MINDBOGGLINGLY stupid. Aren't those the EXACT kind of people that you'd want to stay in your country?

It's honestly hard to tell, because behind the SEO-dross and random attacks on established, already-high-performance tools, there aren't many details at all. At first (I hadn't looked at the linked file) I immediately said "you have to be kidding me", but...then I looked at the Java file and I think you might be more on-target than I'm comfortable with.

It does not look like it's running in a normal JRE, which makes me really skeptical of the sibling post claiming that "you can write Java however you want". (If it was running in a normal JRE, a ton of the stuff in loan.java makes little sense...)
Just getting over the myth myself. We launched a little project a few weeks ago, servicing a very niche market that seems to like spending money on the service.

I was amazed when my partner pitched it to me, but after a little research we launched with about 40 hours of coding. First "big" day of stripe transfers hitting my account tomorrow and I'm damn near giddy. Probably not ever going to be anything more than a few hundred bucks a month, but its a nice little ATM and seems like its going to be on autopilot with the next code update with maintenance needs of just an hour or two a week.

1. Don't worry. Google's pre-WWDC event has made it clear they are developing their own iOS app. I don't know if they'll charge for it (that would be an interesting angle, even if they just charged for turn-by-turn), but there will be something.

2. There is a theory going around that these aren't the real maps Apple intends on launching in the fall - this is just the test data they're willing to show at this point (perhaps to lull competitors like Google into a false sense of security). I don't know if I buy that, but it would be consistent with their culture of secrecy.

3. I think the biggest problem for Apple is actually the missing mass transit directions. So far they've talked about third party apps taking care of that, but I suspect that won't cut it "for real". Perhaps they have something up their sleeve, or perhaps they just plan to buy the best third-party app, but if not... it will be a big win for Google in cities, especially outside the US (where mass transit is much, much bigger). I don't think Apple is likely to make that mistake, though I wouldn't be shocked if they ended up correcting the problem in response to feedback. On the other hand, it is just barely possible that the key decisionmakers might be that little bit too US-centric. If so...

>There is nothing productive about "you're incapable, just give up"

I disagree. For some people, hard as it is to take, this is exactly the right advice. Some people simply aren't cut out for what they're trying to do, and changing tack sooner rather than later is the optimal course of action. Any advice which precipitates that decision is therefore good advice, no matter how hurtful it might be to receive.
As I'm trying to wade through the manual currently... how does the apparently built in (and perhaps un-configurable?) JS/CSS and auto-spriting/data-uriing work?
Eh, I'd be disinclined to use it just because it's not open-source, but I'd kind of respect it if he'd just said "It's my code, and this is how I prefer to license it." But instead he offers a positively insane rationale for making it closed-source that may as well be "Cthulhu wills it so! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh!" That makes me extremely wary of this software. Either he seems a little unstable or he's lying about why he won't open the source up. Neither is an attribute I look for in a vendor I depend on to run my servers. I might be able to tolerate the first if it were open source, but it gives me the willies here.

This would not work. The problem isn't a solution that requires a NEW prefix, but one that there is a ton of information and implementations ALREADY EXISTING that use the -webkit- prefix. Those devs that were too lazy or uninformed to include -moz- or any other prefixes (sometimes even the unprefixed version at all) are not going to go back and update all of their prefixes to -x- now. We don't need more prefixes.

A better solution would be for browser vendors to state that prefixes would only work in alpha/beta browsers, but would be removed from production browsers. That would allow testing, but remove the temptation to use the prefixes in production code. Alas, the standards committee can't keep up with the changes that are required for the browser manufacturers to feel safe doing so, and it could introduce the risk of features landing unprefixed that use different implementations if the manufacturers ignore the standards.
If you are a good front developer then fixing ie7 issues shouldn't be an issue or take you long to fix!

For html5 use the html5 boiler plate and ensure your code validates. Also do not use floats to position everything, only elements that need to flow with the contents of the document. Use position absolute for elements that are static and of course in the block that holds said elements add position relative. Using too many floats is bound to make you hating ie7 even more.

This is interesting, my interpretation of what they were saying was for _new_ prints. But in the case of old prints, I see your point.

Long term, I hope this is self-correcting. People still like vinyl, and although you can't find a Tower Records anywhere on earth, you can find vinyl shops that are still doing really well. The same could end up being true for film-projecting theaters.

My bias for digital probably clouds my judgment now so I have a question: would you be interested to see these on film if you could see a cleaned up, perfect, version on a 4K+ digital projector? What about the film version appeals to you?
I was a huge fan+user until the author closed down he's forum on he's site for no other reason(that I can deduce) he didn't like the feedback|comments about the project. Pity I think those forums brought in a lot of "feet/traffic" to the project !
So they're just not going to do that.
Not sure I understand the question. Do you mean if the cost for delivering prints was substantially lower... what would happen?
They also disable copy-paste. No trust in them whatsoever, they seem like total control freaks. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some sort of backdoor.
Finding Yourself In A Broader World
>They're doing something I've seen done before; oddly, it was mainly being done by Usenet trolls.

Every time I read something off that webpage my mental voice uses my Japanese "Engrish" accent to read it. So I can't say that I was really surprised when I saw that. (I'm actually getting the vibe that the lead developer may have lost a few of his marbles.)

At the same time it totally took a shotgun to the guys credibility when he implied that projects like nginx aren't free but G-WAN is.
The "Support" page reveals how they charge $200,000/year for the privilege of setting a header:

> 199,999 [Swiss francs]: Use G-WAN under the brand of your choice (custom "Server: x" HTTP header).

This isn't the most insane upsell I've heard of, but it's close.

An attempt to find a developer..
Agreed here.

The other thing is this. This article is one more illustration of something I tell people when they ask my advice on going into business: "Most businesses that succeed fail first. Be prepared to see failure as a stage on the road to success."

At $1200/month, that ought to be enough to cover basic expenses. If you are interested in making this work, you can always get another job somewhere and kick this back to part-time work, or go after investors, or whatever other options you have. Is the basic income enough to keep it running? Probably.

But even in the end, even here, failure was a stage on the road to success was it not? I guess that shows how many paths there are given perseverance and inspiration.
Oh, how sometimes I love Wikipedians' determination of what is notable or not - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion...
It's not just the site. Even the PDF manual is in this style.

"And this test is merely a single-thread test. Add concurrency and SQLite as well as Tokyo Cabinet die in pain because a single write blocks other read/write threads.

Not in G-WAN's case. It is never ever blocking nor delaying any processing.

How solid is it? G-WAN relies on it and has been tested with low and high concurrencies."

I don't want all my comments here to be slamming this project, I just do not understand this maintainers mind.
Sure - don't get me wrong, if he doesn't want to give out the source, that's fine. I won't use it, but that's fine. But then, like you said, he's invoking Old Ones and Providence, Rhode Island, and that is all sorts of wacky.

I'm getting LoseThos vibes here a bit.
That's the thing. And that's why inspiration (which largely means the ability to have fun while working harder than just about anyone else!) is so important.
The FAQ says it depends on either OpenJDK or the official Oracle Java, so it doesn't sound like it's a special Java-to-C compiler, unless it's something like a runtime JVM bytecode-to-C compiler.

Yes. You beat the game on a character in Normal, after getting to like ~30 or whatever (dunno, made up number). Then you can play through again from the beginning doing the exact same thing, with tougher monsters, in Nightmare. Beat nightmare and you're at 40~50 or whatever. Repeat again on Hell, at which point you're probably 60. Repeat again on inferno.

So basically you play the same game over and over again.
