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…

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.

I still see the reflections if I close my eyes :(

and of course the handle is semi-colon shaped and completely optional!

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 …

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 becau…

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 s…

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 …

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 s…

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+…

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 re…

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 dili…

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

Wow, I never thought VC++ and MFC are this extensively used in demoscene groups.

Does this mean even people who visit US on tourist visa can open accounts ?

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 a…

If its true (any direct link ?), it puts the whole conversing part into a different perspective.
