Although I'm not in Beijing, it's amazing that Hacker News hasn't been blocked by the "Great Firewall". Any bets on how long it will take before the Chinese government shuts this out of China too?
Unfortunately the Hero looks like it has some "lag" issues when navigating around the screen in the production models out in Europe right now. I hope it's a software fix to make it better, but I imagine we're going to…
Link bait title. I had my hopes up for something juicy only to find out something I already knew... government employees build crappy software.
As we all know, XML is just another word for Productivity! One less thing to compile and throw those pesky errors before we put it straight into production. I can't wait to show this to the IT guys... if they ever get…
Thanks! "Photo-slide shows" on the web need to die, anytime I see one, I never click on it. These ad-spam on these things is nearing the annoyance levels of most porn sites..
My hard drive is already filled with MILFS and performs quite well for my requirements. /me ducks and covers
I think optimism is an essential core value (or characteristic) of a successful company even though it might inhibit the "fail fast" methodology you speak of. Optimism when kept in check can be the fuel for passion in…
Totally agree with you. I for one don't want my browser knowing "who I am" - I prefer to let the applications I use know that.
I disagree, it should be a "killer" because flash uses a closed source for-profit runtime from adobe. The javascript standard is free to use and implement and doesn't require me to have any browser plugins to view great…
The heavyweight category needs to be split up. Technologies like flex / silverlight / javafx / open laszlo use compiled binaries to run their applications via a browser plugin (flash, java vm, silverlight vm). The other…
Since Flash is being threatened by Javascript, it looks like Adobe is being forced to band together with another threatened company (Facebook being threatened by Twitter). I'm on the side of twitter + javascript to win…
Unless there's a joke that I'm not getting with this link, how did this article end up on the front page?
Hans Reiser ended up a murderer too. Be careful not to follow his path too closely :)
Maybe Oracle will buy this now too.
Frankly I don't care about its w3c standards and fast JS - those are problems people are working on, and it's not the interesting part about this browser. It's not meant to be a "production" browser that you will be…
Did that strip mall happen to be in Canton, Ohio? I was there too!!
I would tell them a couple things: 1) Get involved in communities (like HN, and local CS interest groups) - getting involved while young can lead to many opportunities that "just having a CS degree" wont lead you to. 2)…
Not only does Wolf3d run beautifully on the iPhone, the controls (and options for modifying them) actually make the iPhone a viable platform for 2.5 dimensional FPS games. I'd like to see what he can come up with for…
Now when Twitter goes down today, we know who to thank :) In all seriousness - Excellent work. Posterous rocks.
I feel your pain with java serialization. The fact that you cant serialize exceptions to notify systems connected to a JVM that something blew up is just insane. All objects should be able to be serialized (in binary)…
I imagine Netbeans will go the way of the Dodo since the Eclipse project is IBM's baby.
An application of this we can all relate to: "Not all stalls (bathroom) are created equal"
One application of this I can see is to create a page like this to understand what sites your company's (or country's) firewall / proxy might be blocking.
Let's solve the DRM problem right now and stop selling games that aren't tied to digital distribution systems like Valve's steam or the upcoming On-Live distribution model. Not only does the publisher/developer get…
Just don't feed the bird alka seltzer before sending it off, or you might end up with some "corrupt packets".
