Thanks for putting this up. I'd be very intrested to know if anyone has ever done a similar test with Azure?
I don't think this will impact Google too much. Even in the case they get pushed off the top the way MSN, AOL or MySpace did, they are also in the hardware market, not to mention Google has become leading inventor, technology company and also have a massive amount of funds to get back into business somewhere else.
They won't just disappear like that.

It's what they were called when Woz developed the Apple 1 microcomputer in the mid 70's. They were also called logic boards by everyone else until around the mid 80's and the rise of the IBM PC.
The area where sublime really wins for me is discoverability. Say I'm writing some markdown and I decide I want to preview it in the browser. A short key combo opens the command palette, I type install package, hit return, type markdown, see that there's a plugin called markdown preview, down arrow and return and it's installed in a couple of seconds. I open the command palette again, type markdown preview, hit return and it's open in my browser. Follow these steps and it will take you maybe 10 seconds or so. Everything's happened without leaving the keyboard and you haven't had to learn any key combos. If you find yourself using a command a lot then you can assign a key combo.

That was just an example, pretty much everything happens this way in sublime. It can all be done by searching commands from the keyboard. The command matching is fuzzy so you can actually figure out the 2 or 3 letters that bring up the command you want and you've got yourself a key combo.

It's this discoverability that makes sublime a joy to use. With vim I find I'm constantly googling how to do things. With sublime learning how to do something usually happens in the editor, thanks to the command bar.
Given that much of Graphite's weakness is due to sliding sheets, I was under the impression a single sheet would be far stronger?
> But I also wouldn't invite you to any outside of work social activities either, because you sound like a buzzkill.

This is actually one of the problems with folks being able to speak up in an office environment to challenge sexist or racist "jokes". Very often said humor isn't even humor and is used by a privileged group to disparage another. If someone calls that out, they can face social exclusion from their colleges, esp. if those colleges don't think that racism or sexism is a big deal. In such a situation, the person who feels uncomfortable can say nothing and continue to be a part of the group or they can say something and suddenly find themselves on the outside of the group, which for work has big consequences like losing access to resources needed to do your job, being passed up for promotion, etc.
This is awesome! now lets get some sweet Tux Racer or Mario Kart going! (please?)
There are numerous ways this employee could have disciplined without destroying his career, each and every one of them would have made Playhaven actually look good coming out of this incident.
They could have sent that guy to volunteer at a woman's shelter or could have donated a part of his salary for a similar cause (even making a dollar for dollar contribution, it's pittance and excellent PR) or just put up a public apology.

Instead of taking meaningful action, they've distanced themselves as quickly and as crudely from this situation, while destroying this man's career without giving it a second thought.

I'm not defending this man - although I belong to the part of the population that's more likely to make such jokes at a professional convention than to be bothered by them - I am condemning Playhaven.

And you know what, it's not even about Adria. She's taking undue fire here; she's a social person with a job focused around social media, and as such it is understandable why she uploaded this picture in the first place. Some people shoot their food, some others take photos what they deem as bad behavior in public (after all if she pictured someone acting lewdly at Walmart no one would have said a thing). She's not the bad person here, although I don't think I'd get along very well with her.

Nope, the only one I can blame squarely at the unneeded escalation of this story is Playhaven CEO, for choosing the easiest way out. How very corporate America.
ouch. Yes thats odd. I will fix this. Thanks for taking the trouble. Very helpful :-)

Right, they're basically saying that v8(dart2js(code)) is faster than v8(transliterate(code)), i.e. that dart2js is becoming better at optimizing the code for V8 than V8 is by itself.
Maybe that is the case with an expensive business class extended warranty...

OT: What chart lib is used in this page?
What nonsense.

It is absolutely incorrect that you have to 'keep Vim in your head just as much as the code that you're editing' unless you have not learned Vim at all. The reason you don't (constantly) have to think in ST or notepad++ is because you have already learned that editing paradigm. Although, that editing paradigm IS more obtrusive than vim's. It's abundantly clear that you do NOT understand vim's keybindings and modal editing concept, if you constantly think about vim.

vim has code exploration tools integrated: they just have funny names like ctags, grep, cscope. If you want them. You can also just use separate tools for browsing vs. editing, with no obvious productivity loss.

The productivity impact of having the debugger in your editor process cannot be a big deal, and it's pretty weird to hear that this is essential right after you stress that notepad++ is good enough. Which one is it?

If the point is that you spend most of your time writing, editing and reading code and otherwise the only advantages are in heavy-duty tools not present in ST, then the implication isn't that it's "sane" to reject vim, the implication is that it doesn't make any difference what you use.

How to Name an App? The Do's and Don'ts of App Naming
The connect doesn't work for me. I tried using the TabSync method and by typing the code manually. It just keep saying "please enter the 6-digit code".

Does this try to do a direct connection? In my network, that probably wouldn't work because of our firewall. Or it might if the port it listens on is high enough.
If you are going to become adept in an editor, Sublime text has a lot of depth and power and seems like a good one to learn.
I wasn't prompted for a single password. I was already logged into a Google account though.
Nope, I don't do that.

I have a neighboring coworker who does, though, which can get annoying as it ends up making my monitor shake too.
Graphic design is not the problem. The style it is. I recommend you first try to see what style you want to fit on your web, then a designer like me can sketch on a well defined grid a proper design. Organize all the info, spaces, and make it balanced. But you first need to find what style your company should have. A designer also can recommend you many things: trends, examples or can guide you on certain styles options that can fit, but those are hypothesis. The true numbers will come later, based on evidence.

Apologies, I should have checked that claim rather than repeating what other people had said. The actual wording is that "Harassment includes... harassing photography or recording". That's somewhat less clear, though the warning about public shaming is still relevant.
That's just too fucking bad, innit?

I'm not about to apologize for the fact that I don't invite people into my circle of friends if I'm going to have to constantly be on guard to watch what I say around them in case some dick or fart joke offends them and they go running to HR to tattle on me.

I don't much care if that hypersensitive whinypants is male, female, or self identifying as a tree squirrel - I'm not going to spend every waking minute that I'm around other human beings moderating my every word like I'm on goddamn Sesame Street. If that wet-blanket who can't have fun doesn't get promoted because nobody actually likes being around them enough to want to spend 10 or more hours a day with them, it's not my problem and I'm not going to hold their hand and wipe their tears. They need to grow a thicker skin or learn to enjoy life outside the fold.
Just played it with a Nexus 7 (wifi via tab sync) and it worked just fine. The accelerometer was a little finicky though.
This kind of thing probably works well in major markets. Last time I used google naviation it took me to a vacant lot half a mile from where I wanted to go. Another time it took me on a convoluted route that included cutting through two private apartment parking lots for a destination that turned out to be literally around the corner and down the road from where I started. This is not uncommon in my part of the US (midwest). I don't use navigation anymore, I look at the maps and pick my own routes.

So... If someone is too intimidated for direct confrontation, their voice is not welcome / allowed to be heard?

1. Contacting the conference officials is a valid action to take.

2. Turning the incident into a blog post is ok too. It sparks public discussion.

3. Posting pictures and names is not. Especially since this seems to be a 'straw the broke the camel's back' situation, and I doubt that these same guys were the ones that offended her all of the other times. They get to take the full force of her fury that built up over (possibly) several incidents. That's not entirely fair. Even more so because she was just a by-stander to a conversation that was intended to be private.
Come on. Arrays are absolutely necessary for certain algorithms, so, they are here, so are efficient hash-tables. Structures (records) were standardized, but they are nothing but a bunch of macros. And that is good-enough.)

And there is nothing special in trying to "port" the ideas form the "old" Lisp world to Clojure and present them as a new. Simple trick. All those logic programming buzz is from karen, query language of datatomic is from old expert systems, etc.
That is a killer idea! This could totally be made multiplayer too..
The article actually hinted at it, at the second to last "section" when they start talking about failure and failure mode of glasses (and gorilla glasses) as well as tantalizing hint when they talk about glass strengthening (whether heat-based or chemical).

> I am not entirely sure why, but what's happening is that in most ceramics, a scratch creates a place where the stresses inside the material get amplified in a way that doesn't exist with metals.

Wouldn't that be because the strength of strengthened glasses come from these internal stresses in the first place? Chips and scratches mean stresses concentrate on the weak point which ends up blowing.

Also, you're incorrect that this does not affect metals, it does (the Silver Bridge failed due to stress corrosion cracking) but it's usually less flagrant or quick than in glasses or ceramics. Stress fractures in metal also tend not to yield explosive releases, so they're less impressive.

> It's more obvious to see why wood doesn't behave this way -- it's made of lots of long strands glued together, so when you crack some of those strands, the crack "runs into" the glue and doesn't propagate. We've actually already stolen this idea from wood -- as fiberglass. Plastics have these really long molecules which also line up like the wood fibers and create a very irregular environment for cracks to propagate, so that may be why plastics resist fracture.

One of the most impressive materials on that front is teeth which are highly resistant to crack growth due to material structure (enamel is essentially full of cracks which tends to block and hinder propagation of new cracks) and layering
Interesting!!
We've tried conducting similar tests where I work a few months ago. We had to deploy a few servers and tried to figure out the optimal spread.
@mhartl I noticed you recently got a Chinese translation for the tut. Are there any other language translations available or in the works? (I'm looking Portuguese or even Spanish secondarily)
Once you have learned to do without the mouse and the arrow keys, it is actively annoying to be FORCED to do that additional motion. This is a matter of ergonomics. Maybe you don't care about the ergonomics of your tools. Using a tool with poor ergonomics is not rationalized by pointing out that you should read and think about what you're doing.

You have no right to condescend to tell others how 'real work happens' and how 'productive people' work, as if you were the only real productive worker in the room because everyone else is using a stupid editor rather than the mouse. Using the mouse doesn't make you a Real Programmer more than other people.

On the plus side if the guy's employer would fire him over such a stupid incident he's probably better off working somewhere else. Hopefully some other employer steps up and gives him a job.

> A friend. Being female has nothing to do with it.

Yes, that's kind of my point. Some people obviously have a problem with these kinds of jokes, some people don't. It's a cultural thing.

This morning on Facebook, a friend posted a picture of the cover of "Cockhandler" magazine, a supposed magazine about chicken farming (as it happens, it's fake). This has so far been "liked" by six women and two men. I don't know all the women, but the three I do know are pretty hardcore feminists.

I just don't think women as a whole are bothered. For the ones who are, I don't think it's particularly because they're women.

I agree with you about sensible public conduct, in the same way that I think it's good to be aware that some cultures have taboos about eg. displaying the soles of your feet. If you think you might be among such people, it's a good idea to avoid doing that, even if it seems kind of weird.
Don't do that. But I switch about once an hour between sitting down and stand up desk.

I'm not sure if it holds for all items, but for the collectibles I buy, most of the sellers are actually companies, which are better served by their own ecommerce platform, but use eBay due to the discoverability / traffic.

There are thousands upon thousands of small stores - I believe the alternative to eBay should be a vertical search engine that aggregates all those stores.

Maybe a homogeneus e-commerce platform (with some sort of discoverability for their items) + vertical search engines.

For the individual "garage sale" sellers, something like Craigslist or other classifieds, that just has a listing fee and doesn't handle payment & shipping.

Funny, I didn't think that was even remotely an extreme. An extreme here would be something like, "Charge people money to work at your company, that way you only get the most extremely dedicated." Simply paying less salary in addition to giving fewer benefits seems like an extremely minor extension.

There's nothing wrong with paying less because your resources are better placed elsewhere. I just don't buy the idea that paying less gets you better candidates. Sure, it might filter, a little bit, for people who really care about your business. But it's also going to filter, a lot, for people who can't get better jobs elsewhere.
Far from being an intelligent move, it's bad PR.

Surely Richards and DeltaBlue are not ideal. Honestly I don't think there is such thing as an ideal benchmark. However both Richards and DeltaBlue capture performance aspects of language features that are used by absolutely any object oriented program: cost of method calls, polymorphism, field accesses, etc.

We are definitely looking into publishing more benchmarks on this page. In the meantime feel free to benchmark Dart yourself and report any performance issues.

"This guy is a hardcore Linux geek converted into hardcore Mac-fanboy (polar opposite)"

Why?

Why are using and being a fan of Linux and being an Apple user (or for that matter a Windows user) mutually exclusive? You don't have to buy into the hardcore Stallmanian crap to use it or to enjoy it and even be a fan, hardcore or otherwise. Just as you don't have to succumb to some of Apple's more creepy policies in order to use there laptops etc. I find this attitude in tech particularly irksome. In the past, I have reacted aggressively, which serves nothing other than to get everyones backs up, but I honestly find that quote actually offensive, not to mention deeply myopic and childish. It also irk me that I'm irked by it. The whole community would be better severed by a collective laissez-faire attitude rather than constantly championing their choice or view as the one true path. Like I said at the beginning, I agree and this rant has been bubbling under the surface and I feel better for saying it. Feel free to ignore me.

That's quite a rant. I have to wonder just how confident you are in the ideas you're espousing if such simple questions trigger such a defensive reaction.

You say I'm attacking you rather than the argument. This is a strange statement! I'm not attacking anything. I just asked a couple of simple questions. Basically, I'm trying to figure out whether you think this obligation extends to everybody or just the wealthy, and if the latter, why. But you're far too busy complaining about being persecuted to actually explain your position, apparently.
