This is a clear marketing opportunity for the Android platform, of course since no one really governs its course, it's completely being missed. I suppose cheaper/more features/hotter phones is the way they want to go.

I wish the popular e readers had apis for working with book content - skimming could be only one of the awesome enchancements the tech community could make. Among others would be tying words to wikipedia lookups or research citations to th

I've observed similar behavior for myself, except its Thunderbolt for day, Kindle Fire for night.

It isn't click bait. If you follow the network of blogs Dan talks about you saw the blatant self-interest machine hard at work in realtime. I was disgusted by it, but I'm not a tech writer, thus no platform to weigh in on. I'm glad someo

As a guy who opened this at work, lol. Not sure if he intended it to have a sexist vibe, I got the impression he was single and poking fun at himself. The game I will never play because I don't hate myself, but entertaining post for sure.

Actually once you can ray trace in realtime content creation is the easy part. Just setup a light source and say this is cloth/metal etc. Not sure where you were going with that...

I'm not clear on the available data, is there a date range somewhere? Very nice btw.

I'd argue any content software that doesn't automatically provide a complete page cache is incomplete.

"It’s transparently obvious that PHP can scale — one look at who uses it (Facebook is really all you need to know) proves that." If by scale you mean code your own extensions at the C level including your own VM, then sure, it scales!

"Our data suggests that buying an iPhone is a better economic decision" Wow, what a leap. Is the author aware the purchasing a phone for resale value is actually NOT the main reason to purchase a smartphone? Any article that starts by quo

Found out the same thing. Developed mostly via TDD/QUnit in FF with Firebug only and occasionally running the entire suite with multiple browers. Even IE6 (via IETester) would compile several thousand lines in a few seconds or so. Used td

A DHH type would've slammed this guy for being not giving the language its due, you are way too nice J! After working hours and hours on a Coffeescript framework, I can say thinking in Coffeescript finds a different place to exist than Java

You have got to be kidding. Paraphrasing: We were under massive time constraints and by our own estimation, already barely able to meet the deadline, so we decided to add a language which compiles Javascript even though I am not that well v

What do Facebook and the National Institutes of Health have in common? I'm pretty sure this will end with Facebook building their own versioning system from scratch and give it some kitchsy name like "Retro".

I would say the real power is the simplicity of stateless programming. It's easier to debug and easier to code, thus stronger and faster development. I think a lot of devs assume it just about "using HTTP to its true potential" which is in

The newer organizations on your blog spot don't seem to have problems meeting a similar uptime to you guys. Doesn't sound like this holds true anymore.
