I realize that a certain line must be drawn. However, a large subset of browsers can still be supported. I've found that I can support scripted pages until IE 4, wherein `throw` and `try/catch` are not supported. Niceties such as `Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty` and `Function.prototype.call` were introduced in IE 6⁰, so I can accept complaints about IE 5. A SyntaxError followed by a termination of script seem acceptable in that case.

However, HTML and CSS should degrade fine in old browsers. I have no problems with presenting an acceptable page in IE 6 or Opera 5, even with their quirky float handling. We just don't work hard enough.

⁰ JScript version 5.5, which is implemented in IE 5.5 introduced these. Verson 5.6 was implemented in IE 6.
You seem to confuse server side rendering for page based apps, these are unrelated. I can build fully dynamic Ajax pageless applications that are effectively just as snappy as anything you can with client side rendering while keeping all rendering on the server. Rather than sending down json, I'd just send down rendered fragments of HTML and update the contents of some tag.

It's a vastly simpler approach that makes client side code nothing more than update this or that, and works just as well while allowing the traditional server side templates. It's not a relic of the past and it's not on it's way out, nor is it inferior to client side rendering, in fact I think it's better.

This bit of thread http://forum.gwan.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/5550/#... manages to sum up the entire experience of digging into G-WAN that I went through tonight. Fernandos (a veritable G-WAN groupie who hangs on the forums posting Apache vulns) starts rambling about side channel attacks, which leads to Pierre (the maintainer) describing a very romantic scene of him listening to recordings of his programs executing because he learned to visualize the code better that way.

I think you are being a little narrow-minded in basically saying that your own 'deep satisfaction' in 'deep learning' is the single-goal of maths.

To me, there are many sides of maths, and different people know, utilise and enjoy these in different ways. If this tool provides a new 'in' I'm all for it - though of course its not going to teach everything, and its not going to be right for everyone (nothing is - even the best maths lessons).

Also - its aimed at non-maths time (ie. replacing 'angry birds') rather than competing for with other learning time (I wouldn't be so happy if they for instance started making things like this mandatory in school). So really I don't see where the loss is....
This is normal, but it doesn't mean you should take it. Large companies will take advantage of you for as long as you let them. At the end of the day, you will get little in return. If you want to do something meaningful, consider doing a startup. Don't have to do your own, join someone first if you must, but pick a problem that you're interested in solving or team that you like to work with. Your life is too short, use it.
Many startups are not website hacked together over a few months, they require much more time and more capital. Even limiting it to the domain of software-based services, applications that are based on genuinely new software technology still require building an enormous amount of software infrastructure that cannot be slapped together with a clever bit of scripting. Most of the really interesting stuff requires capital because it requires a lot of very careful and very high-end code development.

I would strongly recommend bootstrapping if possible but that is not feasible for many cases. Some people conflate the "<well-known startup> for <noun> website" startups with the actual technology startups. If your startup requires shipping a 100k lines of novel and bulletproof code, you are not going to be doing it for less than a couple million bucks. Software development of the purest kind is expensive but it also produces much of the interesting value.
There are already quite a few out there. Search your favorite browser's extension archive for something along the lines of "enable right click." (For example, Firefox has RightToClick.)
Securityfocus used to do this. Symantec bought them, and I'm not sure if they continue to offer the service, but they still create BIDs, so I'd assume so. Subscribers got an interface that let them choose what software/versions they care about, and they would get alerts based on that. I think Secunia either has or had a similar service.

A few more are mentioned in this article from 2005. I'm not sure how many are still up and running. It seems like a few businesses attempted this but it didn't work out well. Oddly, people were excited about this ~8 years ago and most companies got acquired and it seems like it died out.

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

I've compared it and can back that up and I think that TC learned a lot with Kyoto Cabinet as you can read on their page. Did you even compare SQLite and TC vs G-WAN KV yourself before posting this?
I disagree that it's an issue of simply not working hard enough. The reality is that it's an issue of opportunity costs: There are only so many hours in a day, and every hour you spend on backwards compatibility is an hour that could have been spent on something else. Naturally, as time passes and the older browsers get older (i.e. less popular and harder to develop for), people are going to see less value in supporting then in lieu of the alternative ways they can spend their development efforts.

You don't see "the big deal" about running software in a web stack that you can't look at? I can, and have, dig through every piece of software in my web stack. My grasp of postgres is not strong, but I've set up shop in the Linux, nginx, and JVM source code before and I am much, much more confident in my tools for it.

I don't use IIS either, and for similar reasons. I'm less worried about it on a desktop (and will run Windows or OS X without complaint) because they're not running things for which I have to care about performance or uptime. But for a service, it's non-negotiable.

There are valid criticisms of the SPE, but this isn't one of them. Zimbardo, in his work on heroism, later referenced exactly how he himself came to recognize the mistake: his fiancee came in, took one look, and was terrified by what she observed.

I don't know how your author managed to read The Lucifer Effect and miss that. The last page he quotes from is page 194. The book is a good 400 pages long. The "unreflective" echo that Zimbardo gives ends a chapter offering evidence.

He spends the next two chapters answering it.

I would never use this for a production system to be honest. I don't see the benefits of G-WAN over nginx. Nginx is open source, so you can read the source and modify it, which gives you much more control over the server, because you know how the internals work. The nginx community is also really great, so you can find solutions for problems really fast.

Under Snoopers' Charter UK Gov to Pay Firms to Spy On You Online
I think we work very hard. You seem to be wrangling old browsers into submission for sport. And that's fine but time is money and we don't have time for all that work for so few users. Thank god for these big guys who are pushing users of old browsers to upgrade. They're sparing the rest of us from not only being the bad guy but from having to do all that extra work. I can see some sites maybe being able to put the effort in to support ancient browsers but then you went after Twitter and I think that's where your argument suffers. First off, Twitter users know what the term "social network" means. Users of IE6 and below will probably never visit such a thing because their browser choice totally gives away their demographic. Beyond that, if Twitter were to cater to these older browsers they'd have a front end code base so bloated it'd rival their backend. Or the other option would be for them to do some graceful degradation work but since a lot of their current UI doesn't lend itself well to that (at least not as far back as you suggest they should) we'd be stuck with a poorer version of their UI which currently is really great! Sites moving toward being as responsive as a desktop app is such a great thing but it just can't be made to work in IE6 and under without bringing down everyone else's experience.
It's hard to encapsulate the entirety of a TV show season in a comment, so I'm going to use a quotation instead. This is from The Wire, Season 4, Major Bunny Colvin:

"This drug thing, this ain't police work. No, it ain't. I mean, I can send any fool with a badge and a gun up on them corners and jack a crew and grab vials. But policing? I mean, you call something a war and pretty soon everybody gonna be running around acting like warriors. They gonna be running around on a damn crusade, storming corners, slapping on cuffs, racking up body counts. And when you at war, you need a fucking enemy. And pretty soon, damn near everybody on every corner is your fucking enemy. And soon the neighborhood that you're supposed to be policing, that's just occupied territory."

The Wire has been acclaimed specifically for its close representation (still obviously dramatized) with the reality of Baltimore. If you haven't watched all five seasons, you should do so.

I don't get it. If G-Wan is so much better (performance wise), what's holding it back?

In daemon mode, G-WAN drops privileges to the user and group of your choosing.
37Signals did this on basecamp for years too. I haven't checked recently and I assume when the consolidated their authentication they probably fixed it.

It was pretty shocking to get my password in plaintext in an email from a leading web app developer. Especially after DHH's multiple beratings of developers who used authentication libraries instead of rolling their own salted password hashing, because you should really understand how your app is handling such things yourself!

I was surprised that I never saw anyone bring it up anywhere.
The NIC? Aren't they pretty reviled as the IT arm of the Indian Govt?
For such things mostly get them behind a VPN, that is only routing network towards your network ( your IP ranges ), setup a "login" server for them, based solely on a SSH key auth - they can use this login server to access your testing/production servers.

The trick on the login server is to have the ssh wrapper utility that will allow them SSH access and also log their SSH activity. The app I wrote:
- setup one user that the app will use where the SSH keys are store and secure the home directory
- has 2 set of keys - admin in normal SSH keys
- users that can access with admin SSH keys are added to the configuration, their UID is checked and compared between the confiuration and system UID for their user
- app then calls a the app via a "connect"
- this calls the "script" binary to log the output of the SSH session

Consists of 2 scripts:
First script is the "connect" script - it will check if the user is permitted to use it (using the configuration file) the it calls, via sudo -u sshkeyuser script [options] ssh root@server .
The logs are stored in /var/log/ssh-session/ where you can see all that it has been done in the users shell when he had it open.

And lastly - a strong NDA and contract to protect your IP and prevent them on bragging around on the "XY" feature they're working on.

(Nullth, "a service that just works" is a notoriously tricky goal, in any case; and indeed most things suck)
First, IPv4 address pool has been depleted for some time, hence the NAT (there are more IPv4 devices than public IPv4 addresses, yada yada, you know the drill).
Second, IPv6 support in COTS computing devices is (still!) spotty.
Third, "just works" means very different things - for watching lolcat videos and browsing Facebook, NATed IPv4 is pretty close to "just works" for an average Joe with a laptop; obviously not for more demanding customers.
Fourth, this is a market niche that's been refined for a decade - and hotels are not usually in the "early adopter" bracket, more in the "the net connection doesn't need to be very good, but it needs to kinda-work for everybody" category.
For static content the massive leap was from multithreaded/fork()ing servers to event-based servers (like nginx) powered by epoll (and similar). Event based servers let you handle thousands of slow clients extremely easily. That's basically all you need to get the kind of performance 99.9% of people will ever need for static content. Nginx more than does this job.

For dynamic content multi-process servers are still just fine because your code/DB requests are going to block for long periods, which is far easier than writing non-blocking code. Putting an event-based server in front of a multi-process server for dynamic stuff gets you the best of both worlds.

Something like G-WAN might have a niche for the few people that need to write some piece of their service in C for performance reasons. But, you can pretty easily do that as an nginx module as well, and it's simply not necessary except in very rare cases.

It seems neat, but I don't think it's of much use to most people.
I think this sort of thing must be open source.

I am ready to contribute to such a project if it already exists.
I think you're missing the point. We're all tired of making one version for normal browsers and a bunch of special fixes for six year old browsers nobody should be using anymore. We're all tired of having to constrain the development techniques we use to make it easy to support six year old browsers nobody should be using anymore. We're all tired of thinking about six year old browsers nobody should be using anymore.
Some people may need to put in a lot of work at something to become competent, but I don't believe that wholesale just some people can never succeed at something as generic as entrepreneurship unless there is a physical or mental disability or some really exceptional background involved. Most normal people really can become successful entrepreneurs if they try hard enough.

As the OP said, just saying, "You'll never make it, just give up" is very unlikely to yield positive results. So even if you think the founder really will never make it, why is that an important criticism to share? They may surprise you if you actually provide helpful criticism on action points where real progress can occur. "Stop being you" is, of course, not actionable.
> ... would require the government to obtain a warrant to use drones with the exception of .... or when there are risks of a terrorist attack.

Great now police will have to invent more terrorists to do their jobs as efficiently as allowed by modern technology.

That might lead one to funny case one day when they will have to let murder loose because there is no evidence except footage from police drone accidentally passing by. Everyone will forget about OJ.
"It hit the market during the last few weeks." is inaccurate, these chips have been around for a while (although my country just got more stock recently) and Phoronix covered this as it happened.

These chips don't even have gpu drivers for Windows 7 x64. You have to run the 32-bit version, which is strange since the boards all support >4GB ram.

Another interesting thing to note is that the D2700 is already EOL'd [1] - i don't know when this happened exactly, but it can't have had more than 6 months on the market - and Intel have extended embedded production on the previous generation 5xx chips(?).
