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.) | null | 0 | 1315829962 | False | 0 | c2j9qtx | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2j9qtx | t3_kcwx2 | null | 1427589656 | 42 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

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. | null | 0 | 1315830441 | False | 0 | c2j9s0k | t3_kbh1z | null | t1_c2j9s0k | t1_c2j1pks | null | 1428194390 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

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. | null | 0 | 1315831053 | False | 0 | c2j9tpb | t3_kc5di | null | t1_c2j9tpb | t1_c2j44jb | null | 1427589683 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Depends on one’s course of study. *I* could by using LaTeX (although I’m not aware of a web-based implementation), but my less technically-minded compatriots wouldn’t be able to use any of the web-based word processing alternatives of which I am aware — the equation editing just blows; the citation management integration is nonexistent.

True | albert_crowley | null | 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.

True | sod1864 | null | 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.
