From the creator of JavaScript, Brendan Eich: > For the record, I'm not worried about JS being replaced by a better > language. I am working to do that within Ecma TC39, by evolving > JS aggressively. So Dart might be doing good if it never takes off -- by putting more pressure on evolving JS. Is that a side-bet Google is making? (Similar to how Chrome helped evolve other browsers, nevermind if it's not the major browser yet, thus causing a better web thus causing more likeliness of people staying more time on web properties, Google being one of the biggest.)

But the top answer is wrong, he says you're decrementing then comparing, it's the other way around. Well I guess technically it goes compare,loops,decrement,compare but if you try to tell me that's what he meant, you're being more of an asshole than I am.

In addition to the OP's response: These [data structures](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter) are a good first guess for set membership. If you ask them "Is x in that set?", the response is either "no" or "maybe", in the latter case you have to run an additional (usually much more expensive) check. They usually use less memory or provide other worst case / average performance guarantees. Over many queries, the time saved on the "defintely not" responses reduces the average request time, and reduces access to the "definite yes" source, which may be a bottleneck - e.g. an SSL roundtrip.

Do you ever worry about people competing with you to do yard work? It's kinda like that. The reason people would be up in arms if ms or apple did this is in the details. Not only do they, more so ms, have a bad track record with supporting open standards, but I don't think thats characteristic of ms in the first place. If ms genuinly wanted to replace js and develop a new open standard then I think we'd be in the same situation as w/google. Js needs to be replaced.

>There's nothing I dislike more than devs checking in incomplete code into trunk. That is a straw man: checking in often does not mean you allow developers to check in broken code. Indeed, large late check-ins are much more likely to end up in a broken state because the merges are more complex. The environment we have here (TFS, by the way) is a branch-per-feature so there are rarely more than two developers that would be affected by such a check in anyway. We also have locks and processes on the Main branch to minimize the risk of breaking Main.

Yes, you can, but Oh My God, does TFS screw it up. My pet favourite is TFS adding files generated by Antlr when you go back on line, silently breaking the build as the files become read only on the build machine. Which brings me on to my #1 most missed feature: It is not possible to exclude individual files from TFS such that they are *never* added, i.e. the equivalent of SVN ignore.

>Google went through the W3C to help implement HTML5 (look up Ian Hickson). Other way around: Hixie (who at the time worked for Opera) was helping write HTML5 under the WHATWG (not W3C). That he works for Google now isn't the same as "Google sent someone". Though I'd say it does count as "Google involvement" and there are other Google employers active in the standards bodies as well.

Probably the same thing that was wrong with Squeak and a number of other languages designed to teach programming: It didn't work so well for teaching, and nobody used it outside of that context. My understanding (having used a Logo variant for something outside of teaching programming) is they become niche languages really fast.

You can explicitly remove the commit from the repository by rming it from the file store, or waiting 90 days and run a git gc operation. fsck, reflog, and some other commands will show you the "dangling commits" which can be cherry-picked or checked out or merged or what-have-you. So long as you commit something, it is really, really hard for git to lose it. Using "rm" and -f flags can get you in trouble, but that's why you have to specify them manually(and make sure you have the refspecs right!)

Just like Oracle isn't the sole input on JCP, who said they will pass jdk7 even if the No's won in favor? Even if he started before working at google, he should now pass on the torch since he is working at a major interest in the spec.

>I don't know anyone who is now compelled to use VP8, SPDY or Pepper because of Google's actions. Mom's using those things today for the same reason she used IE and ActiveX and Flash. Nobody forced her to, but she also didn't choose. Google doesn't bother me today, but it's trying very hard to become the internet monoculture. Everyone's real arguments against Microsoft weren't "they're innovating!" or "hey they've come up with something awesome that only they use!" so much as "it's become the only option so we must use it." Google isn't in this position today, but give it some time. I work with people who do everything related to computers using purely Google software. They don't seem bothered, so I don't complain, but monocultures are weak points.

And Dart isn't an overhaul, it's an addition to the spec. Google is only adding it to their browser and using it for their pages. You know, the process kind of reminds me of how Netscape added Javascript -- they put it into their browser, and started using it on their pages.

A GNU Global JavaScript plugin. The README file and build instructions need to be updated, but as an overview: to build, you need to install parsec-2.1.0.1 and WebBits (cabal install ...) and GNU Global (most likely from source). The GNU Global parser.h file (<global src>/libparser/parser.h) will also need to be copied into the root of the checked out project. The result of building will be a .so file that can be referenced in your gtags.conf. An example gtags.conf is contained in the root of the project. If that example one is used, you can run: gtags --gtagsconf=./gtags.conf --gtagslabel=gtagsjs to tag all JavaScript files.

Please note the qualifying phrase: > for a lot of people And it’s true — a great many people who might’ve used Outlook now use Gmail or alternatives for personal email, a process which I began noticing as early as an undergrad in 2004/2005. (Heck, MS doesn’t even bundle a free email client in Windows anymore, although one is easily downloaded.) Although my experiences are probably not typical, I’m not sure I know a single person besides me and SO who routinely use a desktop email client outside of work.

I found the claims that Erlang can't take advantage of more than 15 CPUs interesting, as well as the per-process heaps vs. zero-copy message passing interesting. It's definitely surprising and worth explanation why Erlang with its "everything is immutable" still chooses to copy all data to multiple heaps. The 15 CPUs is forgivable, as commodity hardware is still typically dual or quad core... Unfortunately the article did not go into detail on the feasibility of this being improved.

I know a lot of people hate JavaScript. I think some of the early frustration was caused by a lack of good development tools and implementation differences between browser vendors. Now that browser implementations have largely converged, it's really a fine scripting language. The development tools are getting better too. We now have decent runtime debuggers and the web dev IDEs are getting smart about JavaScript. I use Visual Studio (when I'm not in Emacs) and Microsoft's intelesense support of JavaScript has gotten pretty good. I guess what I'm driving at is that JavaScript is "good enough" for most people now, so it is going to be hard to wedge a new language in as the default client side scripting language for all browsers.

> There will be several ways of running Dart: * Dedicated VM: as a substitute for JavaScript, in all browsers. * Server: with the goal to enable “Google-scale” web applications where front end and back end are written in the same programming language. * **Cross-compiler: that compiles Dart to ECMAScript 3 on the fly, for compatibility with non-Dart browsers.** Compare to Google Traceur [2] which compiles ECMAScript.next [1] to ECMAScript 3, in a similar manner. The last part is what gives me hope of this actually taking off.

I would believe that, except that Googles classic GUI works. When they changed over to the "Tablet experience", they hacked out loads of features already existing (eg. Cached), and disabled functionality (like zoom), as well as using less of the screen for the stuff you actually want (search results). Normally get 3-4 results for a screen (less if they have extra links mapped), even worse if you use it in landscape mode. If you switch back to google.com main site, it works fine. You get everything. Also if you go to google.com/m This has way more functionality then the tablet version. So either the Tablet team haven't gotten a clue, or the broken UI is intentional. Seeing as they added a "classic" option which never remembers you selected it, and is at the bottom of the page I would be inclined to believe the latter. TBH, I would be happy if they just put it back to the classic search. .. and don't get me started on the travesty of the web mail UI they have for gmail on the tablet.

Sounds like it's easy to shut down with the DMCA, just as with [bnetd](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnetd).

Agreed on most, except even before UO there was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meridian_59 in 1996 Of course, we are not counting MUDs before that.

theres x64 now too (using IE x64: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896457) but not common. dotnet? works in all browsers/oses (it just uses JS as clientside script), but you'll need a windows server, true. but if you're doing anything with SQL you're gonna want a windows server anyways since mysql is just plain garbage.
