GWT doesn't mandate MVC, and it is not meant to "hide the Web", it states as such in the original mission statement. GWT is three things: a cross compiler to Javascript, a development environment, and a bunch of libraries that are layered. GWT != HTML Panel. The naming is unfortunate, GWT really should have been called 'j2js' or some such, to emphasize the fact that its most important function is an optimizing compiler (it is not a transpiler)

You can build GWT applications that use nothing but HTML templates, low level jquery-like operations, and avoid all of the high level MVC cruft, in fact, many GWT applications, like Google Flights or Google Shopping Express are built exactly this way. I wish the Widget system had never been layered on top (along with MVP) because it gave people a false sense that it was the only way to use GWT, and it was primarily useful for supporting older browser like IE6. There was a justification of 'hiding' some of the Web when you had to bridge IE6 to modern, and many third party JS libraries took similar approaches at the time. The days of IE6 support were painful and once of the reasons for the success of GWT in enterprise is all of those WinXP IE6 desktops.

The primary pain of using GWT these days is the compile times, and the overhead of interacting with Javascript (JSNI). Both of these are being solved in GWT 3.0 along with language boilerplate complaints thanks to Java 8. For example, here is an example of GWT using Polymer components effortlessly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFMD1GXR2Tg

GWT 3.0 deprecates the old DevMode and replaces it with a fast incremental compiler. It replaces JSNI with a new @JsType interface. It boils away asynchronous callback boilerplate with auto-conversion of Java8 lambdas to JS functions and vice versa. The new DOM apis will be auto-generated as @JsType interfaces by directly reading W3C IDL specs, not hand-written as they are today. And it will be possible to read JsDoc and TypeScript interfaces and extract API interfaces from them.

GWT 3.0 will be about lowering the barriers, the friction, between the Web, JS, Native, and GWT code bases, to make polyglot programming as easy as possible. It will also be about hybrid apps, that are part native, part web. See the new Google Sheets 2.0 as an example, it's Java code cross-compiled via j2objc and married with a native UI on iOS, and cross-compiled with GWT and married to Closure UIs on the Web.

I'm endeavoring to make things "and" not "either-or", to give developers as much choice to use as little or as much of GWT as they want. As an example, see AngularGWT, which uses AngularJS 'as is' but lets you write Angular controllers, directives, etc in Java, including using JSR303 BeanValidation to do form validation in Angular.

Perhaps the important factor isn't which species are present, but their distribution or some other factor of which we are still ignorant. In any case, I'm glad you've seen positive results and I may try them again in the future with single-strain supplements once this ordeal is long behind me.
Wow, this is great: it still creates a new window when clicking on the dock, but it no longer creates one on startup. That's still a lot better than before. Thanks!

The ruling applies to every search engine.

90%+ of Europeans use google. How many use DuckDuckGo? So not having that stuff on google is pretty effective.

Sure, but as far as we know Google was not aware of it (it = US internal taping) and introduced encryption of private traffic to counteract it. I'm not aware of articles proving they knew about the taps. Are you? (yes, we can speculate they did, but let's say it like that)
(Note: I used to be employed by Mozilla, and in that capacity I was the owner of Mozilla's image decoders. I've been disconnected from all decisions for almost a year, though.)

The main take-home here is that while Google's numbers all show WebP as being objectively better, the metrics they chose for comparison were relatively bad (i.e., some of them didn't take into account colour or didn't model colour correctly), and once you accounted for that the numbers were not nearly as good a story for WebP; in some cases, JPEG outperformed it.

The facts that (1) WebP was not terribly compelling technically, (2) JPEG is already supported by everything on the web, not to mention devices and mobile phones etc, and (3) there's still headroom to improve JPEG in a backwards-compatible way, meant that WebP was (and, it seems, remains) a non-starter.

You would have a case if he said PC first, Phone first as they are both client consumption mediums.

Mobile first, cloud first is a rehashing of spector if priority for their devices and services. They are saying when we build new versions of Windows or Office we will put the priority on mobile devices. When we build server software, the focus will first be on our cloud varieties.

Take for example Service Bus, software they make for Windows Server and their cloud offering. New features are added first to the cloud offering and later trickle down to the licensed on-premise version.

> Computers will certainly be able to understand jokes or innuendo. At least as well as people do, anyway.

Serious question, are we close to anywhere on that? I last looked at AI-related stuff around 10 years ago, when "sentiment analysis" as it was then called was only capable of approximating what "good press" and "bad press" meant.

> As far as the Madeleine effect goes, I'm not sure why you consider that intelligence?

I'm making a generalization in thinking that "intelligence" ultimately means "human intelligence", and I'm also assuming (probably wrong, there's no exact science for it) that things like the "Madeleine effect" sit at the core of us being humans, and the third (and last generalization) in thinking that if you're not experiencing things like the "Madeleine effect" you're not really human-like, so you cannot really be "intelligent". Writers like Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke have written about this problem (what it means to be human when "robots" will come about) way better than I could ever dream of doing, but my favorite presentation of the potential issues when the Singularity will come around remains Stanislaw Lem's "The Cyberiad". Or we could continue focusing on technicalities only and call it a day.
What kind of devs are they? The android experience is horrible.

Forbes: What is the most valuable programming language to know for the future?
When I build a PC, the number one feature I want is ECC memory. It can be tricky to find a non-server configuration that supports it (you historically need a "good" bios that is smart enough to enable it for AMD, and you typically need a Xeon flavor CPU + workstation level board for Intel; caveat, it has been 2.5 years since my last build).

I was hoping that this tool might make finding non-server parts that support ECC easier, but alas, that does not seem to be the case.

Thanks. I was trying to be as comprehensive as possible. Sadly, that makes these a couple months old, but there will be updates.
I really like it but I think it can be simplified. At least the original presentation of options. e.g.

* The names Advanced and Pro are too similar.

* "For AMD lovers, a cheaper alternative of the Gamer configuration" OK, but then this could be folded into the Gamer configuration as an alternate flavour.

Can you get this down to three or four options and move the rest to the expert users section?

Seriously? How can we expect legislation to protect our privacy but not the privacy of those that we don't like?

Your comment is exactly like Eric Schmidt saying "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." and then pushing for drone control to keep his own privacy.
As far as I know call centre jobs are not very high paying, they are just the only job people can get.
I have canceled many internet service accounts (while working with customers) from both Comcast and AT&T. While infuriating, this is not representative of the vast majority of my experiences. Reason being, this is not how retention reps are trained. This guy was clearly on a personal mission. I would be surprised if he still works for Comcast.

Here's a really simple guide to getting past customer retention:

1) Be courteous. There is no better way to get mired down in customer retention hell than to give the rep a reason to run you around.

2) Feel free to share your reasons (briefly), but be clear (politely!) that your mind won't be changed. "I need to see for myself" is always a good way to dismiss the rep's reasoning.

3) In the off chance that you get a rep like the one featured here, simply hang up and call back in a few minutes. There's absolutely no reason to invest this much frustration in a company like Comcast.

I've only had one or two cases where I simply hung up on an overzealous rep. In all other cases, the process consisted of answering two or three questions, then I was on to cancellation.
Many strawmen, but nothing relating to my comment, which was "do we know Google knew about the taps". I'm not aware of any article proving that was the case.

Re. the first link - companies of the size of Google will meet with the NSA at some point. They have to comply with many regulations and will have private chats at high level. They even willingly run NSA's software (selinux). This doesn't prove or disprove cooperation in communication taping.

Just one of your points I wanted to address.

> Google never really deletes anything from gmail and other services (disk is cheap)

Also, data invalidation is hard - probably every company that's big enough should have it in their ToC, unless they assign a full drive to each customer and do hardware wipe on it when something is deleted. Deleting a file is essentially just setting a "this is deleted" flag, until other data overwrites this. I'm willing to bet none of the companies you interact with guarantees your data is physically deleted. Everyone should be aware of that.
I'd be more concerned with having to register with a city....
But is there headroom for JPEG to replace animated gifs? If I look at mobile social apps these days, animated GIFs eat up enormous amounts of data. JPEG doesn't seem to have an answer for this, and no one has yet, it appears, made the <video> element work for this use case.
If you take away the adversarial part of the idea and don't assume that you have to work against the company, it becomes more profitable. Companies that infuriate their customers would be named and shamed, but shown where their customer service is failing, and how to do better. Mystery shopper companies work on the same principle.

This sounds like woo science. A link to a paper proving this assertion would be cool.
Err, saying that a site has a proprietary flavor just because it's hosted on Windows, is like saying this open standard is proprietary since the documentation was authored in MS Word.
When “Free” Can Suck
An idea to automate part of the verification process is to have a "fill as much as you can or want" form asking for public accounts (facebook, G+, twitter, github, personal web site, non-free email accounts etc) and then generating a confidence score used for a pass/no pass/id required. A service (API) for this is one of the multiple ideas I haven't acted on.
My problem with that is that it makes virtually zero sense to have a "save" option in the browser. Seriously, when is the only time that was what you wanted? :) Perhaps if it was remapped to "bookmark"? (C-d? Seriously?)

Though, I should say that it was a quick trip to firemacs to get the behavior I wanted.

A right to be forgotten - that is, not to be mentioned somewhere - looks more like a negative right, not unlike a right not to be mugged or not to be photographed in your own bathroom through an open window. A right to be remembered would be a positive right - not unlike a right to be employed or fed.

(You could say that "forgetting" published material requires action and not inaction - but so does editing out someone videotaped in their own bathroom through an open window, and so does not running over pedestrians, strictly speaking; generally as programmers know following rules to not do something requires some sort of computation which is a form of action... but that means inaction takes action and then all rights are positive.)
I'm actually happy that it can't "go away" that simply.

What strikes me with what's happening with the "Right to forgetten" is how it "shouldn't" work this way IMHO. When something shameful/problematic for some people go down in history, it must not be dealt with in the future by "removing" it from history, but rather by educating, improving. E.g.: for these persons who found themselves in trouble, showing they're not this kind of person anymore, or that this was a mistake and they know it.

The "Right to be forgotten" is an attempt to rewrite/erase history, while the correct thing to do would be showing these facts are, actually, "history".
"And even if it were real, it would only be efficient if P=NP."

Because finding global optima is hard? I grant that, but:

1) things can be intractably hard even if P=NP - O(n^10000) is in P, and there are complexity classes strictly harder than P (e.g. EXPTIME)), and since there are innumerable moves anyone could take out into the future "optimal resource distribution" could plausibly fall in EXPTIME.

2) Regardless, any single entity determining optimal resource distribution also needs to solve the same problem.

If you were saying something else, please clarify.

9 Questions on the Future of Breach
I'm mostly ok with variety. Helps keep me thinking about what I'm doing. Well, as long as the shortcuts they use actually make sense. As I said in a sibling, why is C-d bookmark?! At least C-f for "forward" makes sense.

It is surprising how "discoverable" many of the keyboard choices are/were in older editors. In emacs? C-c C-(first letter of what you want to do) probably works if you are in a minor mode. If not, try C-h b to see the bindings.
Light switches don't need to be wired either, we've just been doing them that way because it's the obvious thing when you're just turning a 120v circuit on and off.

When your lightbulbs become smart devices, they no longer want to be on an on/off circuit. In fact, it doesn't even matter if a group of them is on the same circuit or not. You just need a switch to talk to them wirelessly over Thread, ZigBee, Enocean, or similar. At that point, you don't have to run the circuits to your light switches either.

Enocean's switches are all powered by kinetic energy, but if you don't mind replacing all of your batteries every few years, that can work too.
Expanding on Ray's comment above, this is really the compelling use case for WebP: a better container that does it all. Right now we have PNG, GIF and JPEG for three different use cases: animation, transparency and lossy encoding.

I can't easily pick and choose which of these I want, which means that we end up with 20MB GIFs that could easily be 1/5 the size, and crazy hacks to get lossy images working with transparency.

This is particularly painful for HTML5 gaming in my previous experience. For one of my projects that involved a giant, high-res game board with transparency (Nick's online Pai Sho), I ended up manually slicing the board up, converting center pieces to JPEG and leaving the edges in PNG. The images are all pasted together to make the final, seamless experience. What a PITA!
I didn't make any point. I was merely pointing out that the article covered non-app-store revenue generation (at least a little).

I don't make apps, so I don't really care either way, though to add anecdotal evidence to the mix: where I am there seems to be a pretty even split between Android and iOS users.
Cool story, but using Outlook is like using Internet Explorer IMO.
amqp.node has a callback-based API if you don't want to use the promise-based API. But this guy reimplemented it, apparently because he doesn't like promises ("This library solves Issues 1 and 2 if you can put up with promises, but it still didn’t solve Issue 3").

He must really hate promises.
