How is this news? Coders put swear words into their code...big deal....

This looks pretty awesome. I remember when I was thinking about making a quote Website back in college. I had just learned about the Levenshtein distance algorithm in a class and was exciting about finding a real-life (re: non-contrived) sc

Perhaps the video chat plugin doesn't work with Opera? I don't know personally. If this is the case, however, then I can see Google not wanting to offer a half-working product to users.

Finally! An American judge with some common sense! Honestly, though, I think this is a good first step. I enjoy some Apple products, but I'll be more than happy to see them lose this. If they can trademark "app store", then what's next? The

You can configure it to use other services than the appspot site -- Dropbox, Cloudapp, imgur, Imm.io, Imageshack, Flickr, Picasa, Github Gist, Pastebin.com, Mysticpaste, Chemical servers, Dafk and Hotfile. Pretty good article at http://tec

I agree with this completely. If you enjoy his novels, then read them. No where does it say that you have to agree, or even read, his personal and political views (yes, I realize they seep into his novels, but this goes back to my "if you l

Very cool stuff. I really liked Ball Pool from Dec. 1st.

I see. I look at StackOverflow, but have never engaged in posting, so I didn't know that the site worked that way. Look at that! Learned something new today!

That's a nice looking site. Thanks for sharing it.

Not sure, but it does feel like a wiki-style Website is better suited for maintaining the list.

I'll leave the debate over what makes a "killer app" to you guys. I just want to thank the OP for his list. I'm really digging 8pen so far. It's changing how I interact with my phone (which, one could argue, deems it "killer").

Overall, the article was pretty good. I think the conclusion is right on (just get some enthusiastic developers and get to work). The article made it seem (IMHO) that the different personalities were completely distinct. I'd have to disagre

Not having some way to explicitly note the end of a function was actually something that initially bugged me about Python. I think I'm over it now... end

I believe the parent was referring to the rubygems system, not the quality of the gems themselves.

It is impressive, but beware of cargo culting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2008/1/7/never-ever-cargo-cult

"Ruby lived fast and died young." How can you say that a language with active development and an active community has "died"? Seems like an odd conclusion to make, IMHO. And it is really easy to enjoy Ruby without Rails. A friend and I have

While I agree that readability matters _a lot_, the "Zen of Python" honestly bugs me. But maybe it's just the counter-culture ethos that dwells inside me. +) Note: I used Python daily at work and for open source projects. I also use Ruby fo

It'd be more interesting to see an article comparing Chrome to Firefox 3.1b3, which recently came out. See https://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2009/03/12/f... . You'll notice that one of the improvements in b3 is performance in

Making a "lite" version is the same thing as making a demo, which has been around for decades. I don't think this is a cat that just got out of the bag, or anything.

Could it be that productivity differs for each person? Maybe we can't have a productivity scale that is the same for everyone? Maybe it has to be applied personally? But then again, maybe if we drill down deep enough, we'd find common theme

I agree with you 100%. I've noticed a strong correlation to me personally feeling like I've been productive and having a "how did it get so late?" moment. The times when I look at the clock every 10 minutes are the times when I'm usually th

Not only very funny, but very true. If society as a whole just took a moment and pondered on some of the great things we have, I think it would make a huge difference in the way we treat each other.
