I wonder if this is one of the reasons we are stuck with crappy development tools in era of slick iPads. Not only do we balk at the amount being raised (also happened with ruby.app), we also tend to criticize any thing that looks new and tr

You can specify it in the domain settings. I haven't used it but the option is available (with out showing any upgrade button)

One of the big appeals of youtube is that a submitted video is available everywhere (well majority of the countries). Google would rather pay hefty fines than lose that.

While it does look nice and all, I still can't figure out what differentiates this from other similar offerings (I see the same problem with many new project management software).

Circuit lab ( https://www.circuitlab.com/ ) is pretty good too.

Nice work.. I didn't expect it to be so responsive. Almost feels like using a desktop application.

That's because its not Java. They are not allowed to call it Java. The only claims left from oracle at this point are that google used 'Java' (the language) without permission and they have used api interfaces aka function names and class n

The more I think of pebble and all the interest, the more feel that one of the bigger companies making smartphones might acquire them :)

What leads to stress and frustration is not the craving for the solution but rather the pressure to find the solution. Most of the time this kind of thing happens in day jobs because there is less emphasis on learning and more on getting th

I think the mobile landscape is going to look pretty barren in a few more years. Just like the desktops, we seem to near the consolidation of mobile OS market with weaker sides getting eliminated rapidly.

I think pebble is the next big thing and might even get rid of its dependence on the mobile phone in future. Just imagine Siri helping you get through your day with out taking the phone out of the pocket!

We worked on a startup product a few months which is currently shelved. It had a file system like interface and simplified moving files between dropbox, amazon S3, google docs and multiple accounts (any one with two dropbox accounts ?). Wit

Actually, the new features introduced in C# increases developer productivity quite a bit. More importantly they increase the readability of code by cutting down on the repetitive stuff. Once some one uses LINQ, lambdas and dynamics its hard

But its equally simple to spin a windows server and even more simpler to setup (thanks to RDP). Amazon even offers a free microsoft micro instance (I even got a $50 windows credit for april month) :)

I really love NancyFx. It's such a well thought out framework. If there is some feature missing, all you have to do is hook at the proper place. It really simplified building our startup ( http://designduke.com ). Best part is that using a

Actually, this is one of the reasons why some of the new languages pick a popular older language's syntax and coding style. Example, most static typed languages follow C syntax (C++,Java, C#) because most of them expect the programmers to m

I'm curious, does ASI actually hurt the performance of JS parsing ? I mean, will there be any performance difference between a code that properly uses semicolons versus one that relies on ASI..

That is what surprised me a lot. That there would be so much defense of the practice. I work on C/C++ for a living in enterprise environment and there are style rules followed diligently. Every one knows that there can be lot of cool/hipste

It's amazing how they can fit that much detailed demo in 64kb along with sound. Feels magical :)

Google style guide says otherwise: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascript... If people hate semi-colons with such a passion, why not simply use coffeescript and be done with it instead of depending on butterflies fla

You got it reverse. Most permissive licenses need attribution (in form of leaving the original header comment etc) which lets the whole world know that you are using the component. A commercial license gives you complete anonymity (most let

Considering the fact that only legitimate way to get an app on the device is through app store, its more like your ISP demanding a cut from developers based on different features in web applications. ISPs are reduced to dumb pipes. It's tim
