If you are saying that 0.01% is insignificant but 0.03% is not, then you might have gone off a little bit too far on the fan boy scale.

Yes, it does. Your data is showing that Scala grew from 0.01% to 0.03% over the past two years. Sounds impressive, right? It's a relative number. Whenever somebody quotes growth nu…

I installed the Chrome plug-in, played with it for a while and ended up uninstalling. The problem is that I now have extra labels called Brand and Personal that just won't go away.…

That doesn't address my point, which was about includes at runtime of .js files. The reason why you see big .js files is that it's not easy to split your code in a.js and have it i…

Android is not a phone. If we standardize on one operating system, I definitely prefer a future where we have thousands of phones to choose from and not just five. Thank you Google…

I wonder by how much their lawyer budget increased over the past years.

Is it just me or has the world moved on from Ruby? I'm seeing more companies and projects moving away from it than adopting it. It feels like Ruby had a nice shot at becoming a mai…
