Per the blog post itself, all operations operated locally in RAM except for some asynchronous backing up to permanent media. He didn't mention network I/O at all, because most likely, the web apps were local (see: Chrome packaged apps.)

In any case Chrome OS's current architecture is completely different from the version he laid out. It doesn't run completely in RAM; instead, it relies on SSD's in most cases to reduce file I/O times.
Yes, I would hope that the author wouldn't include "sausage party" in a letter to her real niece. :) So let me rephrase: I don't see the point in making broad statements about the presence of discrimination in our field, because these statements will drive away people who might have had perfectly satisfying careers in tech completely unhampered by discrimination. In my experience, constantly being made aware of the gender imbalance has been much more damaging than any actual gender discrimination. (Though of course I'm sure many other members of underrepresented groups have not been as lucky.)
It worked for me on Chrome 24, Opera 12, Safari 6, but it doesn't appear to work on Firefox 18.

Four ways to improve your next job interview
What is it that you're not seeing working? screen shot of how it looks to me in opera: http://i.imgur.com/7te5TWW.png
Credentials are useful when done right.

My sister is about to graduate with a Art degree which most people think is fairly worthless and in some ways it is.

However, she also has her portfolio which is a good but not great indicator of quality. And even better she can point to her name in some movie credits and point out what parts of 'a major motion picture' she worked on.

Combine all three and it's a good resume. But, what credentials provide is the reason to spend more than 10 seconds on a candidate. Looking though a portfolio takes time as does understanding your job history, but credentials are FAST.

PS: Think about what the ideal credentials mean. O you won an award I recognize, well gee I don't know much about you but your probably worth that second glance.
There are dozens if not hundreds of kernels in development today. Some developed as small niche side projects. Some in proprietary embedded products. Some purely as research experiments. I do not see that type of diversity in browser engines and I think it is absolutely as important.
Ask HN: What JavaScript MVC libraries are most popular right now?
Trying to get a better picture of the adoption rates of the various frameworks - Backbone, Angular, Ember, Batman, JavaScriptMVC, etc.

What I would love to see is a chart which somehow measures adoption rates and interest in the varying MVC frameworks graphed over time. I scoured the web and could not find anything like this. Has anyone else found anything like this?
I was part of the beta trial and I consider the Bombfell team my friends (even if we've never actually met). This service has changed the way I dress. To address what @jawns was saying, I was one of those who didn't care about brands and also made questionable fashion decisions. If you're willing to give Bombfell a try, they will change your mind about quality brands. They make you look good and will work with you till you're happy with your selection. These guys are awesome and I wish them 1000% success!
I was testing it the other day in anticipation of this happening and it really does seem about 10% faster than APC.

APC is essentially doomed now at this point.

But optimizer+ does not have a user cache and cannot delete individual files from the cache, it's an all or nothing reset if you don't want to use file stat. There is no control panel though you can fashion one from the statistics function.

Also in my tests I could not get file stat to actually turn off despite the setting but I'll try the open source version.
It's worth noting that Twitter had their own project called Starling, but I get the impression they've moved on.

The point is that I am never assumed to be a developer.

I don't know of any developer having a hard time finding interviews right now, btw. The industry is in desparate need of more developers.
I don't know how committed they are to it.

Extremely, especially in this context. The reason why Opera is switching (web compatibility issues if you're not the dominant implementation) is exactly the reason why Mozilla would fight a switch with tooth and nail - and remember that unlike Opera they cannot care for profit when doing so.

Here's an extensive reply from a Firefox developer:

I wonder what would have happened if Microsoft, Mozilla or Opera had open sourced their browser engine with WebKit.

I have no idea what you mean.
Agreed. Really wish it had more RAM though (ironic given the content of this article, heh.)
Yes, good point. I meant that engineers hate having to deal with a bunch of useless statistics from marketers because they know most of it is fluff.

Yes. It tells an important story about product creation.

DuckTales had to make it over 65 episodes and under budget. It had simple goals and it accomplished them.

Look at Apple at their brightest hours. You can say that the iPhone was Apple throwing down the gauntlet and rejecting the tyranny of buttons and saved us all, but the reality is simple. Touch was expensive and bad for a long time, so Apple waited until touch was cheap and good, then they solved for X. They didn't care if you didn't buy iWorks for your iMac and your iPad, they just wanted to sell hardware.

That is the secret to success for many products and avoiding it is the road to failure for many others: if affordable{solve for x();} else {do something else();}

MS and Disney have shot themselves in the foot numerous times. MS making sure they didn't hurt other product lines created huge waste and left consumers hesitant. Disney obsessed with the Disney Princess and drove away everyone but the pre-teen girl and parents didn't bother taking their kids to see The Princess and the Frog because Dad would lose his mind and empty his walled if he thought he'd have to spend another second in Hanna Montana-ville. Instead of just solving for X, they lost consumers who assumed they'd get screwed down the road somewhere.
There is no downside to having super fast internet in your home/office. So I think this is more about an arbitrary rallying flag for the Kanas City tech community. It gets people excited about working on tech in general in KC, hopefully enough that it can "spark" and people can go super deep on their projects / companies.
You're missing the fact that this RAM-focused operating system was conceived in 2006, aside from a variety of other things.
I think most people would parse "rational thinking community" as a community interested in rational thinking

You are right, it would have been wiser to apply grace and ask to clarify why he was in such wonderment at the existence of a "rational thinking community".

However, my concern was merely that the phrase "rational thinking" carries with it all sorts of implicit assumptions about the "rightness" or "wrongness" of what is being discussed, and it's important that when joining in a presupposed community of "rational thinkers" that this does not carry the assumption of "well, these people claim to be rational thinkers, therefore they are holders of the truth"

The context of his surprise at the existence of a "rational thinking community" gives us a hunch at this potentially incorrect presupposition, but we can't know.
No, because strtol gives you the ability to see that the parse failed and where. You chose to give it NULL there, but you could choose to use the function correctly. You can't do it correctly in the javascript and PHP cases. In the PHP case, it is actually just a bug in the PHP codebase that octal digits are supported at all, and they don't use strtol correctly. Note that perl, python and ruby all support octal digits correctly, there really is no excuse for PHP and javascript not to.
> In many cases that I have come across, the DOI can be turned into a link that takes you to the article. Perhaps that would be enough.

This would be a very simple but extremely helpful change. You only need to prepend http://dx.doi.org/ in front of the DOI, and make the resulting link clickable.
I run a site that is not technical at all, it's a legal site related to divorcing fathers. Last year the site had 1,111,795 total visits and 5429 of them were from Opera. So I'm not sure who is this community that cares that much about Opera but they are not in the US.
"jQuery is not as popular as it actually is"

Hmm.
One rendering engine that has some serious limitations, like not being very parallelizable, because of highly entrenched implementation choices.

Which means that if you want hardware capable of rendering the web it can't be low-power highly-parallel hardware; it has to be high-power-consumption fast-serial-operation hardware. Why is that bad? I guess that's a matter of perspective. I think that would be a terrible outcome, personally.

I should point out that I'm not aware of any compiler that has implemented C++ perfectly, and I doubt any ever will given that it's a moving target. So why bother having multiple compilers or a C++ standard at all? For example, why does the WebKit argument not apply to gcc? And note that in compiler-land not being able to compile some codebases is OK as long as you can compile the codebase your user cares about, while the Web equivalent (only rendering some websites but not others) is a lot more problematic, because the typical compiler user compiles fewer different codebases than they visit websites. And also because using different compilers for different codebases is a lot simpler than using different browsers for different websites.
Awesome, any chance you can sare the APIs you used?
Thoughts on 'Four Reasons Why Apple Should Buy Nokia'
There are two ways of looking at this, as a consumer and as a company.

As a consumer obviously we want everything to be cheaper, not just compared to elsewhere, but in general. Who wouldn't like Apple products to be cheaper, or cheaper DSL, cheaper cable etc.

As a company you're in it to make money, period. Pricing is one of the most complicated and imprecise things a company has to deal with. Once you set a price you basically anchor yourself to it in case you later find out that that price was low and you could have charged higher. If you set the price too high then there is always the option to go lower, or offer discounts. You also need to take into account different categories of customers, based on region in this case, and try to price discriminate such that you are able to charge the price that would bring maximum profit (not revenue) and where people cannot go across these categories to buy another comparable product. For example, senior, student, children discounts for movie tickets.
Then there are com parables you need to take into account, like Coke and Pepsi are substitutes to an extent, Photoshop and Gimp are not. IntelliJ and Eclipse are, so IntelliJ has to make sure it is offering value for which it can charge.

Microsoft also does regional pricing, and its products are dirt cheap in China and other economies where there is rampant piracy, since there it is effectively competing with its own product being offered for free.

Companies always try to maximize profits and if they can get higher profits and are not anchored to a lower price, they will do so. There is nothing wrong with it, its just business, which pays our salaries and also for entrepreneurs keeps our investors happy.
The difference is that WebKit is open source with several large companies contributing to it. If it doesn't follow the HTML spec you (or anyone else) can fix the bug.

IE was closed source and Microsoft disbanded the team that developed it (IE6). If it had a bug, there wasn't anything you could do about it. You just made your site work around the bug, possibly breaking it on other browsers.
I can see your point and you are probably right :) But then again, it depends on the field as well. In any technological field, you would get hired because someone trusts in you. But once you start interacting with your team members, you still have to prove yourself to them.
You ought to read comments before replying to them. I clearly said that only those four are using jQuery, and that the remaining sixteen do not. I checked all of them by hand before stating this, except for Wikipedia because it is common knowledge that MediaWiki uses jQuery.

Also, your idea below about sniffing for $ is a bit embarrassing. Firefox, Chrome, etc. have come with $ for many years as an ID or query selector, and it has nothing to do with jQuery. Prototype and MooTools also provide $, and probably a dozen or more similar libraries you haven't heard of.
Market share numbers are irrelevant, what matters is if it has the userbase to support a viable app ecosystem. Which it slowly is.

Really? I wasn't aware. I thought I knew plenty of competent women who weren't "bitches".

I guess I was mistaken.
Uh.. Mozilla's browser engine has been open source since 1998 or so. It predates WebKit even existing.
As a developer you may not want it - but my friends who are copywriters, editors and content strategists will LOVE this. A simple way to grab existing web content as markdown, which many are already using to write and edit their content.
I've frequently given the same advice to my co-workers. The GUI's for Postgres are all lackluster, and learning to use psql with \d seems like the best way to go. It takes a little time to get used to, but once acclamated it blends into the background and works great.
A reader-first Internet
Not that I disagree with your post, especially the rel="next" part, but I wonder what the problem with syncing is when using chrome & signed into a google account? ... it does the job well for me over 4 or so devices.
The most obvious advantage is cheap offsite backups and or web hosting. But, also if you have 5 people there then you still have ridiculously fast internet access where a 20mbit line will start to bog down.

Mozilla has been open source since day one.

Mozilla's engine at one point was the go to for a cross platform embedable browser but things changed: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.embeddin...

Edit: Should clarify, Mozilla as an entity that releases web browsers, not "Mozilla" as in the Netscape days.
There are commercial investments in GCC and has been so for a very long time, we have IBM, Google, Red Hat (of course) and others employing full-time GCC programmers.

>Nobody's ever asked me to make something GPL that wasn't.

Why would they? If you've licenced it permissively they can include it in their GPL licenced if they so wish. It doesn't affect their decision in licencing their code as GPL.

>Also, you seem to equate a permissive license with 'lock and key'.

No, I was pointing out that enhancements done to permissive code which is not being open sourced is in no way better than your assumption that if something is GPL then chances are enhancements will never be made. On the other hand, if there are enhancements made (and distributed) then GPL makes sure those enhancements will be open sourced and available to all recipients.

>It's a pretty good indicator that the GPL prevents people from getting shit done, but that few people other than idealists of the Stallman type really care about it.

I'll counter your anecdotal evidence with the following anecdotal evidence:

Linus Torvalds and lots of other Linux kernel developers have stated numerous times that they think GPL(v2) is a 'perfect' licence and they attest alot of Linux success to that very licence choice.

Now I don't understand why some people (like you) are so adamant at attacking other licences other than your particular preference. GPL and BSD/MIT etc are great licences which are generally being preferred for different types of code. GPL is mostly used for 'self-contained' projects (typically applications) while permissive licences are mostly used for component/framework/library style code.

People _choose_ to licence their code under these licences, it's not unusual that people licence some of their code under copyleft and some other code as permissive. Choice is good.
The Importance of a Consistent Message on Your Landing Page
The UI is not very clean but I love the idea. I wish there was a browse feature. Some of us that aren't in college just enjoy enlightening our brain and would love to see what's already up on the site.
Great article but I can't get his advice for using Sublime Text as the editor to work. \e will open a new file, but saving/quitting doesn't ever run the query.
There is no breakpoint
Is there any benefit to still having multiple rendering engines out there? Should IE move to webkit? Firefox? Should prefixes now be -ms-webkit and -opera-webkit so browser makers can still innovate?
Ok, I'll add that tonight.

edit: done.
The difference is that we've been actively moving to trying to make things people actually care about (like, say, access to basic information or government services) kernel-agnostic, and we view cases when a specific kernel is required to accomplish some basic computing task as a failure. With browser engines, some people think that way but many don't, as this discussion makes clear.
Awesome idea solving a real pain. Timely too given recent headaches with AWS sneezes.. Every time AWS has an issue, our site on Heroku is affected. Can you speak to SLA, downtime/uptime of service?
I'll add those tonight, thanks!

Ok. done.
The meme of entrepreneurs moving to KC just to get gigabit seems overblown though.
At our core, that's what we are - an easy CMS built on top of a responsive framework. But we think responsive design is more than just media queries, it's also about how content affects the browsing experience. A Wordpress theme running Bootstrap may be responsive, but the standard WP content structure is often too clunky on a small screen.

So we're starting with the mobile experience and bringing it to bigger screens. In the process, we learned from our customers that the simpler mobile-first format is particularly suitable for certain small businesses (contractors, restaurants, startups, etc) and lowers their barrier to get online. We'd like to write an article to share our findings!
Seems same as my bank (http://www.lloydstsb.com/), why don't these websites centre?
I like how you've stated it, and made my original premise less confrontational and more of a question about what you value as "open".
Can you give a technical explanation of how this actually works? Heroku works by compiling your git repository with a buildpack into a "slug" and then booting that slug on a cookie-cutter LXC image running on an EC2 VM, according to process types you defined in your Procfile and the scaling you set through heroku's API, and then routing web traffic to your web processes. etc etc.

Can you explain with some technical depth how you are actually deploying/configuring the app, what languages/libraries are supported, where/how DBs & external services are run/connected to, how web traffic gets routed/proxied to the apps, etc?
This is awesome! I see there's Linode support built in - any plans to do the same with Digital Ocean?
Actually, writing a fast and compatible browser engine is a much larger project (at least an order of magnitude larger) than writing a fast JS JIT.

Just for scale, the latter takes about 2-3 years as recent history has shown, with a team that numbers a few dozen people at most. The former takes hundreds of developers, and several more years...
Developers did not drive this, users did. I don't develop off what I like but what my analytics tell me.

And it's pointless now. The only value to Chromebooks seems to be that you can sell them for extremely cheap because you just need 8GB or so of flash. Once you hit the > $350 price point and can afford to put in a decent amount of flash, I don't think using Chrome OS buys you anything.
Yep! Digital Ocean just released the bit of their API we needed - so yes they'll be supported soon!
Based on our experience working with clients at Cantina, Backbone seems to have the biggest mindshare and widest adoption. We have several active projects that are making use of it.

There has been some passing interest in Angular and Ember, but nothing concrete yet. The press on Ember for the past few months may raise more awareness.
Currently it is hosted with an API that we are planning to open up at a later date. Right now we want to control the experience until we work out any bugs that may arise.

More options will be available after that which could include a variety of things from installing on your server to just using the API to sync data.
