There's an issue in the issue tracker for it that you can star if you haven't already: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=23... It might not make a differenc…

It looks pretty nice. I'm curious about how the code generation works and whether Clay has the potential to produce the kind of code bloat you sometimes see with C++ templates. Say…

It's hard to tell what Thompson's level of involvement is with Go. His level of public activity is lower than some of the other Googlers on the project, but who knows what's actual…

I live and work in Olathe. It is a great town, no doubt, although I'm likely biased by the fact that I grew up nearby in Overland Park and have lived in this area for most of my li…

He said it was an option. He didn't say it was necessarily a good one.

This is the nature of free software and a big part of why free software is great. Sometimes a maintainer can no longer work on a project for a variety of reasons. A free license ma…

For what Kurzweil actually predicted around 2000, check out his book The Age of Spiritual Machines. It's wildly wrong about some things and overly optimistic about others, but stil…

You're not wrong, but I think you're missing the point. The fact is, a lot of computer science students intend to go out into the world and become software engineers. Likewise, man…

Pretty accurate. It just misses the part where I read the manual (if it's available).

It's an interesting idea, but this seems more like something that could be a neat tech demonstration rather than a product that people would want to use. First, speech recognition …

Okay, that makes sense. I guess the bar's a little higher for vandals anyway since it requires some programming knowledge. On a similar note, is any of the code run on the server s…

This looks like a pretty cool project, but the lack of Linux support is a deal killer for me. How does it handle vandalism? It seems to me that vandalism could be a lot more devast…

To me, market segmentation is different when it comes to software. In your text editor example, the author can add an SFTP feature, but once it's coded it's coded. There's no extra…

Chords will help you figure out the notes if you know your arpeggios and scales. Guitar Pro tabs are user generated and vary in quality. And good luck if you want to find an obscur…

This sounds like a really cool app, but I run Linux so I can't try it out. At least, not without messing with Wine, which I don't really want to do. Hook it into something I can us…

I have fond memories of learning to program in a Borland C++ IDE, but right now I can only think of one thing related to this news: Please, please let StarTeam die so that my work …

I agree with you in the general case, but when some of those people are journalists who work for respected newspapers, then it becomes...maybe not impressive, exactly, but certainl…

This type of circular reference has happened before: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090211/1249253735.shtml

This kind of stuff happens all the time and it's really disappointing. Wikipedia is a good starting place for learning about things, but if you're publishing something and citing W…

I would argue that such a "degree" already exists. Simply start a small business. If it's successful and you decide to move on to something else, having created and run a successfu…
