Array.prototype.forEach didn't arrive in IE until 9, so if the point is that you can do anything that jquery can do, this won't work.

This is a common mistake made these days: use webviews to jump start development and then go native later. Many of the supposed benefits of webviews simply don't exist, from increased reliability through fast iteration to faster development. They are also hell on earth to work with because they are far more fickle than a normal web browser. The reason mobile development is slow right now is that the languages and frameworks are not optimized for moving quickly and you need to do a more traditional software release cycle if you plan on having an even remotely bug free app.

dono what she was trying to say, but eh, a google recruiter emailed me tonight, and I was thinking of what a horrible employee I'd be for them. good founders generally make bad employees, unless by employee you really mean contractor; we make fine contractors.

I wonder if they shouldn't shift gears and become the dashboard computer before somebody else does, QNX is still developing automotive solutions and some look a lot like the BB10 demos we've seen. Deep integration with mobile devices (including iOS and Android), direct PIN messaging to a dashboard computer, providing a flawless mobile broadband solution in partnership with carriers, etc.
Can RIM even keep these two mobile device product lines alive long enough, or should they move in while Microsoft hasn't got the UI right (voice maybe but not onscreen) and Google is just getting into it. Ironically, Nokia would be the perfect maps partner.
I might have been a little unclear - I'm not currently developing (hope to soon). Of course it depends on your market - if your market is a whole bunch of corporations that have IE8, then use jquery 1.9.x... if 2% of your clients bring in a substantial amount of money and it's worth your while, then by all means develop for them.

But at some point, it becomes a zero-sum game. I believe this is what is happening with jquery: the amount of effort to support new features on older browsers (yes, that includes IE8) becomes less and less of an advantage. Hence their decision to compromise and support two versions of jquery, and have all or most of the new features implemented in the 2.0 version.
Yep, Googles Compute Engine might be the latest new and shiny service in town but that isn't enough reason to move.

I gotta give Amazon a plug here just cos they secured my loyalty through what I thought was empowered customer support instead of seeing everything as black and white.

I think you have the right idea about going in at a lower level first. I saw managers hired from outside of the consulting world get crushed. Even after climbing my way up the ladder, I sometimes felt a bit in over my head as a manager. They really expect you to have a lot of things polished - understanding project financials/contracts, presenting to client execs, negotiating with other vendors, managing your team, the firm's project methodology, etc. That last one would be especially challenging for someone new to the company. Is there a way to tailor your resume/experience so that it looks more natural for you to be started as an experienced consultant rather than a manager?
Don't be silly. There are alternative browsers. XP will not lack proper web access.

Not "even though" — it beats them by a huge margin because it's not a cloud plan. Cloud plans pretty much always cost more for the same amount of power. Cloud hosts take care of managing the actual server hardware for you, to the point where you can increase your capacity a thousandfold in seconds and you're shielded from most actual hardware failures. A cloud provider handles those headaches for you, and in return you pay more to be able to focus on the software side of your app.

Cloud plans can be cheaper, but AFAIK that's primarily when your capacity needs are bursty, because you can spin them up and down at will instead of maintaining a server farm that goes mostly unused half the time. (Or when your needs are very meager and the cloud is willing to sell you a tiny slice of capacity, because a cloud service's quantum of power it can sell is much smaller. On that end they compete more with traditional VPSes.)
One way it may have differed is commercially. The Minitel was a huge economic success generating > $1 billion/year of revenue and presaged the online commerce we see today. Monetization was a piece of cake as "sites" charged per minute. Companies like La Redoute made tons of money selling stuff "online". And, of course, there was plenty of porn. I still remember the suggestive billboard ads for the 3615 CUM -- or something like that.

Yeah, but that's the mobile market. That includes phones as well as tablets. Android has clearly made great inroads in the phone market: I think it actually has a market share of over 50% in phones (well, smartphones, anyhow). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for tablets; for whatever reason, Apple still maintains a very strong position in the tablet market.

I'm too young to know for sure, but I bet Microsoft only ever had a monopoly in the desktop market and never in servers or the like.
I disagree. Having someone to go out and make deals OR report back that the market isn't there, to pitch to investors, or to form partnerships with other companies is invaluable. Many of the great companies I respect the most here in SF and SV succeeded in part because they had someone that filled this role (be they a founder or otherwise.)
> but it’s a horribly bad idea, because, in the language of Game Theory, the startup world is a repeated game.

It is only a repeated game if you fail. If you succeed, then all your "I'm CEO, Bitch" moments will be seen as a sign of confidence and a positive stepping stone on you path to success. If you don't plan to fail, sending stupid email doesn't feel a shortsighted, which is why it happens so often.

The King of Speed
It's less about the "startup hustler", and more about people who are extremely resourceful. "Hustler" is an easy and convenient title for people who are not checking in code, but are still out making deals and building partnerships.

All businesses are simultaneously vulnerable to both launching too quickly and waiting too long. Waiting too long is similarly a good way to produce something that's either irrelevant or sucks because it hasn't been subjected to rounds of iterative improvements based on customer feedback.

An impatient founder who is 100% focused on their opinion of the best way forward, and frenetically works on that while involving the team can be a tremendous boost to company-wide productivity.

It depends on the type of startup, doesn't it? You may need someone to knock down doors and get sales or deals done. Take for example Hipmunk. Their beautiful UX counts for nothing if they don't have flight data. And to get that data, they need partnerships and agreements with providers who probably see their idea as a threat.

10.4 was released with Safari 2.0 and got updates up to 4.1.3. Are you talking about 10.3?
Internet Philosophy
Well its not just about the cost. All those companies have limited features, or take forever to provision VMs, or have limited capacity, are still hammering out bugs, or are way inferior to AWS in numerous ways. In effect AWS doesn't have much serious competition right now in the public space, it really is vastly more mature than other offerings.

Google will at very likely least get all those implementation details right and be pretty rock solid at a good price point.
This is worst of both worlds. Compared to naming branches, they both encourage sites to unnecessarily break compatibility, and are held back from developing new features.

They should give 1.9, 2.0, and 2.1 names, and make 2.0 mainline, and call 1.9 "compat" or something and encourage the conditional comments. Then, soon, they should start working on 2.1, which isn't API compatible with a version that's compatible with IE 6/7/8. The current plans for 2.1 are an awfully long time to wait for features that aren't available with IE 6/7/8, for apps and sites that need such things (and have a target audience that is ready for it).

"enterprise" no longer exists. that's what is killing RIM, that's why they are trying to woo consumers.

Users rule now, and users are consumers. They don't want to carry two devices, one for home, one for work. The home one being technically advanced.

The cost of the IT fortresses is prohibitive and it is now being understood that IT departments with overzealous IT security policies ruined the actual use cases of technology.

Example:
Top15 big pharma co. BB as the corporate standard, fully locked down. PIN lock activates the sec the screen goes dark. PIN is a alphanumeric password. Camera, Browser - pretty much everything is disabled. Windows Notebooks? VPNs, rotating passwords, dongles, e-mail mailboxes of 500mb, no e-mail retention, etc.

IT argues that this makes them "compliant".

Then, suddenly, strangely coincidental with the rise of Apple post 2007 a big shift starts. SaaS solutions are starting to replace on-premise stuff, Big pharco has realized that their IT really sucks in terms of its job. The headcount, cost overhead is in no relation to the pain it causes. Everything is no, everything takes ages, when it arrives it is unusable.

And now we are at bring your own device. Whatever works. iPads everywhere. iOS takes care of security and OS updates. No more we can't update to WinXP SP3 because we're still testing it.

Just had a meeting with another big pharco yesterday, where BB is corporate standard. They are dropping that next month. iPhones are taking over. With far less control.

"Enterprise" for end-users is dead.
HiDPI Retina support coming to Flash Player
Pardon my noobiness, but how is this different from a full fledged IDE like Netbeans or IntelliJ? For example on Netbeans you could have a good workflow similar to Yeoman. By using shortcuts you can push changes to your test instance, it has plenty of integration with Ant, Phing, Hudson/Jenkins, Github, other bunch of plugins, etc. It has a fully functional bash shell window, shortcuts that trigger the browser. You barely don't have to switch to anything while coding on it.

I get that IDEs like Netbeans have a bigger memory print, but what I mean is that using a tool container that gathers` all your other tools together is really nothing new.

Am I missing something here? What do you guys think? oh and I don't want to start a vi vs IDEs war here. I'm talking about the concept.

I would say it's the opposite. Except for deep tech companies, hustling is the most important attribute a startup can have these days. And it's not just sales. It's everything. Having people that make stuff happen is extremely valuable.

I don't think it's that mind blowing. My experience with MASM is that the built in macros that it provides for program flow control, defining and using data structures, and calling into code located in other modules (DLLs) takes most of the pain of writing assembly away. Couple this with the ability to define your own macros and it's really quite an enjoyable environment to develop in considering how low level it is.
