Under OS X 10.9: No, Under Win 8.1: No

When I'm in Windows I'm only playing games or casually browsing the web so attacks aren't a concern and if I do get infected I'll just wipe it and let Steam re-sync things. On my Mac I've got Time Machine just in case things get weird but, while I know OS X isn't virus-proof, I'm really not worried about catching something.

You know what they say about security through obscurity...
The developers are pretty unsympathetic though. That disclaimer on the third paragraph of CSS_Reference/Mozilla_Extensions? It might as well have been on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'. I understand the reasoning for removing the prefixed version, but they should at least give the developers more warning!
That's really not true though, at least from my experience!

All I can say is that my experience clearly differs from yours then. But I tend to get involved in the controversial afd discussions a lot, for some reason.

In the AFD that is exampled here, the only sources offered were of the form of blogs and forum posts etc. Wikipedia has quite clear and explicit rules against those sorts of sources (for establishing notability) for very well explained reasons.

Again, "context matters". We need to find a way to incorporate that point. We can't just wave our hands, dismiss all blog posts and primary sources, and reject everything on those grounds. For a programming language (not just nimrod, but many languages) you just aren't going to get a lot of other sources. But, in context, they are notable and the sources are credible.

I'm not claiming to have a final answer to all of this, but I sense that we can do better.
Glance is the feature I love a lot on my Nokia as well. The glance screen allows me to look at things like time on my phone without even turning it on.
They might be running one of the BSDs.
If you don't download warez you don't need an antivirus. Just follow good old fashioned policies, like not opening executable attachments in emails, don't install codecs from companies you don't know etc., and install a firewall to monitor outgoing traffic.

I have a Windows 7 desktop and occasionally I might run a scan from an antimalware software. That's as far as I'm willing to go, I don't install special av software because they consume a lot of resources especially with real time analysis.

EDIT: Furthermore, if you’re a tad paranoid you can enable AppLocker in Windows to eliminate any chance of an unwanted program wreaking havoc on your machine. Anything that’s not signed by a company you approve doesn’t run.
I would not pay for that. A weather application is enough for me.
I might be interested to try it since I use 37signals Highrise. But I don't understand what it does. Can you please elaborate?

I guess this is lesson for my small SaaS: the landing page should explain uses cases and how it helps - not really what product does.

This is for the lua interpreter. aka the PUC-Lua
You should compare it to Luajit, wich is a proper JIT compiler as V8..

The benchmark game used to have Luajit, but they take it out for no reason..

You can download the scripts and run in you local machine against V8, using Luajit for real comparison..

http://luajit.org/

Also this link compare a lot of language implementations in different benchmarks than the ones in shootout

edit: also see this blog post about benchmarks; if i am not mistaken, this guy is behind V8 and Dart VM's implementations

I use Gentoo Linux and do not have any antivirus software. There doesn't really seem to be any for Linux systems.
If someone knows of one please recommend it so I can take a look.

Then again, there's fairly few viruses targeted at Linux systems and I'm sure even fewer I'd be likely to get on my Gentoo system.

Nurses unionize to drive up their own wages.

Ah that old canard. Fewer than 20% of RNs are in unions. Those in unions do make more than their non-union counterparts (~$200 more per week [1]), but if you think that's why nurses tend to unionize, you're fairly far from the mark. Especially since real nurses wages haven't increased in the past 10 years.[2]

Imagine that being a programmer required a license from the state in order to practice. Now imagine that if you make a significant error, you lose that license, pretty much ensuring you could never make another dollar in salary as a programmer. Say your work consists of doing week-long projects, with a team of 4 other programmers. Your code must be released weekly and must be bug-free. Now what happens when your boss realizes he could save 40% on costs if he cuts your team from 5 to 3? Or to 2? How likely are you to release bug-free code? That's the situation for nurses.

Adding to that, nursing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the country based on the number of on-the-job injuries and missed-work.[3] Most of these injuries are caused since hospital staffs are being cut, which leads to nurses having to lift, turn, and dress patients without additional help.

Furthermore, nursing care levels are directly correlated with improved patient outcomes, shorter hospital stays, lower mortality, and a number of other positive indicators. [4]

So you have hospital management on one side, who's incentives are to cut pay, cut hours, and cut staff (and frankly, to keep patients longer). And then you have nurses / techs / etc. on the other side, who are more likely to injure themselves, more likely to lose their licenses, and more likely to provide substandard care with those cuts. Do you honestly think unionizing is a bad idea?

"Representatives were important when voting was a tough logistical problem"

That's not why the U.S. is a Republic with a legislature rather than a Democracy. It's because the founders thought that a (direct) Democracy was a bad idea. In a country where most people don't believe in free speech and think that it would be a good idea to force children to pray to Jesus in school, I tend to agree. As bad and corrupt as Congress is, this would be worse.

Some honest feedback:

Get someone to thoroughly proofread your site copy. I'm unsure if it was done in a rush or by someone who speaks English as a second language,<br /> but there's a lot of odd phrasing and ambiguity (more below).

The tagline doesn't make the product's intent clear and doesn't really capture my interest.

"Inch makes the dirty job for you. It performs on-the-fly synchronisation with the biggest CRMs while you can keep focus on clients and don't waste more time with non-revenue activities hereafter." - Awkward phrasing and typo (synchronization)

Add a light text shadow to the main hero image text - white on white is unreadable.

I'm not sure how I feel about the "be 1 of the 250" promotion. It seems fine to encourage people to try the beta as it provides incentive to try the latest thing while still having some level of forgiveness if/when things break, but 250 just seems very very small.

Header image transitioning on secondary pages (when the header is only ~100px tall) causes a lot of unnecessary overhead and lag.

The "How It Works" page having a "Get Inch" button every section seems a little too desperate. I'm all for optimizing conversion rates but that's just getting a little annoying like some kid trying to shout at you.

What is a "Millennial CRM Experience"? I mean, I understand that the younger generation is often categorized as "millennials", but it doesn't mean I like being associated with that generalization. Also, a large portion of your potential user base likely wont be millennials.

Blog layout is significantly different from the rest of the site. Logo goes back to blog root, not the site root.

"During our beta we are syncing connected CRMs every 20 minutes. That means if you add new or modify any data in your inch app, those changes will be synced into the connected CRM within 20 minutes maximum." I don't work in sales but anything less than near-instant updates seems unacceptable.

"Yes, we treat data safety seriously. You can read it further in our Terms&Conditions , or Privacy Policy" Nobody wants to read your T&C or Privacy Policy to find out why their information is secure. Provide a concise summary on the FAQ and then have the legalese in those.

Most of these things are small stuff that can be fixed, but at the end of it I think the biggest problem is I'm still not quite clear on what your product does and how it'll make my life easier (assuming I was in sales). Either way, congrats on launching beta (big milestone) and keep iterating until it sticks.

EDIT: Fixing formatting.
Ack. Add a drop shadow or border or something to your headline text, it's illegible on a lot of the background images.

Appiterate Makes A/B Testing for Mobile Apps Easier With WYSIWYG Platform
And JS has some incredible flexibility, with CoffeeScript (CS after) you can even get a more terse syntax similar to ruby/python.

JS is not OO... IMHO OOP has not proven itself out to reduce confustion, or simplify code bases. It tends to make distributed systems which are increasingly necessary for large projects more complicated. In JS I tend to have two types of objects. The first being data, that which can be easily serialized, transported, stored and deserialized. The second being libraries meant to act against requests or use of said data. The second can be extended to those which tie a user interface to said data as well.

When you break things down in such a way it's easier to develop systems that can scale out, and are easier to maintain as such. You can do similar things in most OO environments. I also tend to think that my Duck data class should probably NOT have a quack method. My DuckHandler class should.

OO has brought us a lot of extremely bloated, over-engineered, "enterprise" monstrosities over the years, and imho should not be encouraged.

JS is very much my favorite language, and in some scenarios (testing, and build scripts) I have started to use CoffeeScript. My second is actually C#, which I pick over Java because JNI is such a pain by comparison. It really depends on what you need.

Sometimes you just need to get something done. You will not be able to use Ruby or C++ in client-side browser code any time soon. On the flip side node.js as a binding layer against a very nice set of C libraries is pretty awesome, and can be used to get closer to a "one language to rule them" ... it's often said, "don't let perfection get in the way of good enough."
It's going to be hard to effect the "change" so many are seeking when folks continue to confuse and conflate "health", "healthcare", "the healthcare system" and "health insurance."

Yes, but the expected time of survival of a newly-installed WinXP machine was extraordinarily short eight or so years ago - not really long enough to enable one to connect to Windows Update and get the thing protected.
its really not a big deal to type sudo when installing stuff.

Also if you have any hope of dealing with servers in the wider world, you want to shake that habit pronto (and learn ssh keys).

Also your ironically complaining you can't disable your anti-virus software, but the fact is you have a sloppy approach to security that your IT department is protecting everyone in the company from.
I don't have an android phone so I can't try it out but it seems like a pretty cool concept. I wasn't able to work out what it does from the home page.

The minor issues are missing timezone and precision information.

But, most importantly, use of integers for datetime values hides type-level semantics. It's just integers and you, the end user, and not the deserializer, is responsible for handling the types.

I think it's quite inconvenient to do tons of `data["since"] = parse_datetime(data["since"])` all the time, for every model out there.
It does not, because the whole point of the abortion debate is that many people don't think that there is a human body with rights in the womb. The only thing that would 'solve' the abortion debate is clarifying the legal status of unborn fetuses as rights-bearing humans; clarifying the rights of humans without specifying who counts as human is pointless for this purpose.

"Can I just say how much I love the title of this service?"

The name kind of reminds me of Nazi book burning or Fahrenheit 451. In fact, anything with "Kindle" in it does. I can't shake it even though this service looks awesome. Something about ebooks implies reducing the number of print books in circulation, which just strikes me as authoritarian--so the connotations of burning don't help.
The precedent of such a suit would be staggering; I can't count on two hands the number of major Internet companies that derive the vast-majority of their content from user-generated content.

I caught this on the radio this weekend, and couldn't stop listening. It included a story about a radio station re-doing War of the Worlds in Quito, Ecuador, only they really tried to fool people. I don't want to give away the result, but it's worth a listen. The Slate article doesn't mention it.
Worked in Manhattan for 5 years, & last week was my 1 year anniversary in the Valley. Difference is night & day. In NYC, yeah we had meetups & cool stuff was demo-ed, but seldom used in day to day work. I do believe that is changing...meetups at Novus demo a lot of Scala that does get pushed to prod. On the whole, SF meetups are much more cutting edge. Like we'll have a meetup on Marathon and we'll probably even push Marathon to prod...scary but that's the plan :) otoh, my friends back in nyc don't even know what Marathon is, much less have any plans to mess with running Storm or Hadoop on Mesos. That said, that's the exact problem with the Valley tech scene - its mostly innovation for innovation sake with no real/profitable use-case. There's really no compelling reason to be running Marathon in prod...but hey, why not ?!...that's the SF attitude. The Valley pays much less, I certainly made more back in nyc...but I did have to wear a suit & dress in formals & polish my shoes & carry a pager & say "Sir! Yes Sir! Ofcourse Sir!"..here I walk to work in sandals & sometimes I don't even shave & people are ok with that. Conversations that enrage & stress people out in NYC almost always revolve around bonus & $$$, here in the Valley people stress out over overloading implicits causing confusion in adhoc polymorphism vs subtype poly...its just very funny & very different :)
I've tried almost every Antivirus out there.

After I started earning, I started buying Antivirus software. I started with Norton, which crashed my hard disk one day because of a virus, I tried McAfee, which wasn't very good taking large amounts of memory, and finally I had to settle to E-Set NOD 32. I'm not trying to promote the product, But that is one top notch Software. But the Customer Care at E-set is uh-oh, shit.

On Linux, I never had the reason to use any Antivirus, because those who write viruses target Windows(mostly) because of its market share.

Docker 0.7 will let you do that, since each container will have its own (thin) block device, and therefore have a default size limit (which can be trivially bumped up if needed, of course).

Now to anticipate your next question (assuming it is "when will Docker 0.7 be available?"), the answer would be "pretty soon", since the core team is ironing out the last issues before merging to master and releasing :-)

You understand a lot of people using Linux are developers. That comparison is not so bad. Yesterday I was playing counter strike and an error popped. I did a quick search and I could have fix the file in place but instead I just use built-in feature to fix the error. As a developer, I rather have someone to deal with that problem if I had the choice.

Learning Angular.js internal is not interesting to most of us. Sorry. We are users too. We are developers but we don't want to develop angular.js because we don't have time and we don't have the experience dealing with DOM and browser. I know this sounds harsh but in an open source world developers are users too. Documentation is the the emergency call to developers. IRC is not always helpful and most of the time core developers are not available to talk. Imagine someone from India asking help while East Coast is sleeping.
