My first ever job was to demonstrate this to 'enterprisy' land in 1990. It was unquestionably the future. I would launch dial up, make a connection, and showed pages which were actually from CEEFAX. I was hailed a boy genius, neither status which obviously no longer applies.
Sundar Pichai: Chrome 'exceptionally profitable' for Google
Hey, at least he's not just ranting like everyone else; he's trying to bring forward a better alternative.

I'm also a PHP dev and I think Python is the safest bet, since it has good support on all platforms already (including Windows).
Clojure doesn't give you immutability guarantees, it just makes it harder to chose otherwise, but on the other hand calling a Java method on some object is just one special form away. I'm not saying Clojure does the wrong thing here btw, but this thing you're talking about is a fallacy, unless you're working in Haskell and even there you could find ways to screw things up by interacting with the outside world, which isn't immutable.

Except for Chrome, Opera and Firefox, you mean?
So what? They are starting and learning. Let them. Good thing, they actually seem to learn from mistakes, that's good.
They did a similar tab sync app skinned like a different browser. Of course, WebKit, not Gecko.
As time goes by, I think the time to get started in a new system (which for PHP is almost 0 time) is one of the most important things.

The problem is that the developers of rails / grails / Wt / SproutCore / Flex / Struts / GWT / Django / Flask / Zope / Merb / Zotonic might be sure their framework is the greatest ever, and clearly worth a couple of days (or even a couple of hours) of someone's time to get it all configured and get started. However, I just see this giant list of options, each of which is in it's time the 'best thing ever'. How am I supposed to know which one to choose? Getting people started quickly and easily should be priority 1 if you want more users.

EDIT: Oh, one other strength of PHP. Many people when they start want to turn a static website they already have into a dynamic one. This is how I started on PHP, just including fixed headers and footers in a website. Then slightly customised headers which knew which page I was currently on. Then adding cookies to remember what users had already done. Then finally full user support.

In general, one thing PHP excels at adding the '1% dynamic' to an existing static website. However, I don't think this is as big a market as it once was, I don't think that many people learn a lot of HTML and make big static website anymore, then try to add dynamic elements later (or perhaps, I just associate with different people nowadays)
Reading through this, my sympathies are definitely with the manufacturer.

Eclipse Juno Release Makes Java Developers Smarter - Application Development
Businessmen?
I fail to see your reasoning. IE6 was (I believe) the default in Windows XP, which people are still using. Should we demand that JQuery support every default browser on every default OS until they're all end-of-lifed?
Scientists claim to crack brain memory code
It wasn't in Windows 8, too, but Adobe made it sandboxable. Unfortunately.
>> And IE8 was the default browser on Windows 7.

Hasn't Microsoft decided to auto-update IE? In that case, most people who don't know what a browser is will already be using IE9 on Windows 7 by 2013 or is there reason to believe otherwise?
Hey Jeff, let's throw down the gauntlet. You're obviously an experienced developer. I've been in the game for over 11years so should have enough experience to tackle you on this bigoted rant.

You choose a problem that you think PHP can't solve[well]. You solve it using your high level language of choice and I'll solve it using PHP. Let's compare the outcome on reliability, ease of re-factoring, speed, whatever .. then, when it becomes apparent that there is little in the way of difference of the end product let's stop the fucking childishness.
> all the things real Python programmers care about

Guess I'm not a real programmer, then, since I find proper Unicode handling to be a welcome feature, and find the implementation in Python2 is painful.
producing something inovative in China usually means having somebody there to check up in person and each step of the way

That sounds a lot like getting something innovative made anywhere in the world. If you are producing your first batch of any innovative product, make sure you hire a very very chilled out and friendly expert who can speak the same language as the manufacturer, and who can virtually camp next to the factory for the first three batches. If you don't do this, then you are either making something easy with large margins and don't care about wastage, or you just don't care.
Well that's not so convenient in virt-v2v, where we have to parse grub2 configuration files to work out what they mean, what kernel is actually going to boot by default, what options it'll be booted with etc.

In fact the current approach we take is to ignore grub2 configuration. Very tellingly, all the important distributions ignore the files too. They generate the files from ordinary static configuration files stored elsewhere (in different places for each distro, naturally). So we parse those files instead.
Also probably because they've been chilled.

Many supermarkets, shops and people chill their tomatoes. That's a serious mistake, because it inactivates one of the major sources of flavour in the tomato.

That's why cold tomatoes generally taste crap.

With people like Gates you could also argue that they create 'new' startups through their existing organisations. Why wouldn't you if you have a brand, distribution, etc that were hard-won?

Also, Gates went on to set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is arguably a different kind of startup.

I have a different problem, I have too many ideas but none of the programming skills to realize them. If you're interested???
Erlang:

X = 5.
X2 = X+1.

C++:

const int x = 5;
const int x2 = x + 1.

My C++ style use const modifiers extensively.
Likewise you can use final in Java.

Exactly the same with strawberries- chilled they lose a lot of the taste.

A lot of this can be worked around by going to farmer's markets/growing your own and picking traditional varieties which have been selected for taste over appearance.
YouTube isn't the only Flash video player though. What if you click a Vimeo link? What about a link on the BBC?

It would be ideal if there were a good native solution for all videos, but I can imagine this to be quite a hard problem.
Vico sounds good, but in the demo screenshots at least, there's just too much going on for me. Not major differences, but Chocolat seems to get by great without the toolbars along the top, and each screenshot for Vico has too much happening (Split editing, symbol browser etc.).

It may be possible to tweak Vico to work in exactly such a way, but even the choice of screenshots, yellow background etc. shows the developer's personal taste. I want the editor to be as minimal as possible, without being quite as extreme as Vim. It's nice to find an editor which seems to have the same goal, and then sit back and let that developer work out the best way of achieving it.

Also, there hasn't been a tweet from Vico since March sadly. The active development speed does make it a bit more fun to be using Chocolat. Even if they aren't big updates, it's just nice to know things are happening :)

Why oh why do you browse with your browser maximized?

I could have viewed this page maximized and just about read the whole thing without scrolling at all, but how would that be preferable?

You might fit more text on the screen but you don't read the whole thing in parallel, you slowly read paragraph after paragraph and what you gain in not having to scroll you loose in having to move your eyes and head instead, running maximized you just waste screen real estate.

I would have expected for this implementation to break down with different browser sizes but it reflowed well and seems to be well thought out. But I'm very skeptical towards such a radical change unless there is a real benefit to it. The benefit in this case is that you get reasonably sized columns (that are easy to read), which is kind of hard to achieve with vertical scrolling (I haven't seen a single implementation that works nearly as well as this one).

So I applaud their efforts, but there should be a manual fallback (couldn't find one), because I'm confident that it doesn't work as intended everywhere.
That doesn't list IE as a supported platform at all (not even the current IE9), so while you should be OK (if IE is now as close to compliant as MS claim it should just work) if you find problems in IE you might be on your own when it comes to researching and fixing them.

See http://zeptojs.com/#platforms - specifically "we may add support for Internet Explorer 10 ... depending ..." and the lack of any mention of IE before 10.
That's not really correct. Senior Mobile Software Developer, Adobe Corporation would look good on almost any resume.

Its always "due to translation problems". That's usually the next step after the "yelling" part. The yelling part is to make the customer give in a little more. After that, blame all the yelling on misunderstandings due to language problems, so both sides save their face, and go back to negotiate.

It's funny listening to the doublespeak from Android apologists who lambasted iOS for not having Flash. Now, in Android fanboy world, it's somehow a good thing that Adobe is removing it?

Steve Jobs was right all along.
If you don't notice the UI being unresponsive on an ICS stock phone, no. (As an aside, the only good phone/tablet I've tried on ICS that has responsiveness issues is the Galaxy Nexus. Anecdotal, but still.)
"make the alternatives so outstanding that the choice of the better hammer becomes obvious."

There's a lot of frameworks that make many types of web site or web app development easier than PHP. There aren't any languages that were created explicitly with the goal of being used to create web pages (and later, by extension, web sites). OK, there might be a few that have gone by the wayside (ihtml, htmlos, etc), but nothing mainstream.

PHP is "content-type: text/html" by default, which can be overridden for other tasks. Everything else needs to make some adaptation (however subtle) to 'play' with HTML. Potentially something like mod_ruby or mod_python could take off, but probably not even then, as you'd be worrying about including base library stuff or extra modules, the majority of which are already baked in to PHP (gd, etc).

You have a web page up and just want to add a dynamic copyright date to the bottom? Copyright <?=date("Y");?> and change extension to .php (or play with some mod_rewrite rules on apache). Want to capture the output of every HTML page and rewrite some links (while logging those changes to a db?)? automatically prepend a php ob_start() call then append an ob_get_clean() function in the footer, then process away.

Doing these sorts of things in any other tech stack requires a lot more configuration and meddling, or possibly rewriting core site code. PHP can scale down to be nice additional decoration in a site, or can power the whole thing soup to nuts (and can scale up much easier than some other platforms can scale down).

Related: I recently had a basic site and needed to rethink it in terms of mobile toolkit. It was much easier to take what I had an add in jquery Mobile stuff than it was to work with Sencha (as one example) because other tools like Sencha assumed I was starting greenfield, which I wasn't, and I didn't have time to learn enough of their stack to try to extract the bits I wanted. jQuery made it easy to add the bits I wanted, and PHP does that for HTML/serverside aspects of things as well.
I'm a php user. I got involved in programming because I wanted to control my websites and build new ones.my first exposure to php was through modifying open source platforms (eg Wordpress and phpbb).

Want to kill PHP? Build alternatives to PHPBB, Wordpress etc that compete on ease of use (incl installing, that means have host gator etc support the language used) and PHP will slowly die out.

Plus, Reminders with its default list on (free) iCloud "magically" syncs with all your (Apple) devices. Reminders adds geo fencing, recurrence, and other great features. It's a surprisingly well designed competitor in this space.

Couple that with Fantastical on the Mac menu bar which now shows those same iCloud Reminders and you have a slick solution.

You're wrong. I've been hearing about this unfolding trainwreck for at least six months. All this talk about trust and lies is exactly what you always hear from people who are out of their depth. Fine. No problem with that. It's the 'China's shit, America's ace' rubbish that's unnecessary and unfair.

Any reason they can "fuck off"? Anyway, you're incorrect about pypy. "Real" python developers will likely not run their code in a sandboxed environment, so PyPy's security advantages are minimal, added to the fact that your sandbox is only as good as its configuration. The concurrency is interesting, but there are numerous other solutions available, and that alone makes it unlikely that the de facto implementation of the language would include one. Claiming that PyPy is better on compatibility than CPython is ridiculous; last time I looked, anything using a C extension had to be rewritten to use ctypes. On speed, yes PyPy is impressive. But in python, anything that is particularly CPU intensive should probably be written as a C extension and PyPy takes a hit when using ctypes iirc. In general, I don't see the point of people trying to optimize generic python code. Most code never gets profiled, and most code isn't a problem. At least, not a problem enough to switch interpreter. Definitely not a problem enough to ignore the massive problem that is python 2.x's unicode implementation.
MacBook crashes are Chrome’s fault, confirms Google
It's users? What do the users care if there is an API? An API just gives hackers the upper hand in finding the gold in the listings. What Craigslist doesn't care about are developers who want to scrape their data. That's a tiny subset and not representative of their users.
But it's not the last. Chrome, FF and Opera works. I can't understand all the whining here. Corporate world can run IE for it's shitty apps and a modern browser for whatever else. Also, that's their problem, not mine, jQuery's or the majority of people that have to download a bloated codebase to support a 3 year old, no standards browser.
Thanks. I really enjoyed writing it.

One thing in the US that would never fly in Jamaica is being charged for incoming calls. C&W used to do that when they were the monopoly, but Digicel didn't it. If any of them tried it now, there would be riots in the streets.

Most Jamaicans are on PAYG (or prepaid) plans. As a result, we usually pay full price for phones, whereas you guys can get a high-end smartphone for $200 on a 2 year contract.

You are correct. The very nature of DRM is not airtight. This is more about making it so you can send text/images to someone and not worry that they accidentally leave it laying around.

Nope, if it was just compression you would not leave a plasma trail that far after the shuttle. Drag aka Friction is rapidly slowing the ~100,000 kg shuttle down from Mach 22. You can get disk breaks to glow slowing down a 1,000kg car from 100mph to zero quickly this is dumping over 2.3 million times that energy mostly into a lot of vary low density air.

Is it too cynical to believe customers feel more comfortable in a store which resembles their usually-unkempt houses? Perhaps this is a form of market differentiation.

There's a problem with people who need bigger fonts - on chrome on a macbook the text falls off the bottom of the screen and there's no way to read it. And frustratingly there's a bunch of space up top (Apple menu bar; chrome's weirdly large titlebar; chrome address bar and bookmark bar; then there's a white stripe; and then there's the Globe and mail banner. At the bottom of the screen there's another grey bar (Our audience is our only agenda).

Using Chrome's frustrating ctrl+ feature ("zoom everything", instead of "enlarge text") means that the user interface stuff takes up even more space, and there's less space for text.

People may know me as being vehemently against this type of website - "just give me the text with nice css" - but I actually really liked the experience, even with these problems. (I also liked the photo essays.)

23:2 And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men
of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the
priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great:
and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant
which was found in the house of the LORD.

23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the
LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his
testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul,
to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book.
And all the people stood to the covenant.

My point is that it isn't just the browser for an ancient os that's about to be EOL. It's also the browser for the current OS. Some people seem to mistakenly think Win 7 shipped with IE9

I don't see the 11" MacBook Air leaving the stage anytime soon. If anything, the average laptop is converging towards what you want. I am not sure about Linux drivers, but the main difference to a "netbook" seems to be the price point. For a few years' worth of computing, does it matter?
yes but at what cost? , wouldn't it be better that google will have some sort of approval process like in the apple store. at least there you know where you stand.
Only you can make that call for your app... But do the math. Don't assume that supporting oldIE is automatically a bad investment.
