That looks a lot like C to me, which I wouldn't call a dynamic language. typedef struct Foo { int a; int b; } Foo; Foo f = (Foo) { .a = 1 }; // This will initialize b to zero.

Which means the profit margin is shrinking. It's not all about whether you're in the red or in the black, it's about how much profit you're making.

It is a net positive, I just wish they would focus more on their core users. Their basic code diff tool could use a lot of love to make it on par with the diffs generated from othe…

Half the speed of native, but you're not comparing apples to apples. This slower code is also run in an environment where it's safe to download a random blob from the internet and …

They have an external NFC tag that you can place near your front door that triggers the app on your phone to unlock your door through the web.

You could do this same thing on Twitter. Is the already large install base the only thing Google Buzz has going for it?

This is a really good point actually. Hulu actually uses the encrypted variant of RTMP to deliver content, and decodes the stream in their flash player. If they were to deliver jus…

Perhaps their allocator only allocated and free'd memory in 4-byte aligned blocks, and would mask out the lower bits to make pointers align to those blocks before freeing them? If …

I'm not sure if Jeff knows what a monopoly is.

Jeff is not quite on the ball with his reference to the "Shlemiel" algorithm. Joel originally described the "Shlemiel" case when referring to strings in C not having a length store…
