True | jjheiselman | null | > it is completely cross-platform (windows, mobiles, set-top boxes, xbox, etc...) linux does not have anything like this due to the open-source and fragmented nature of development
So, not completely cross-platform then, is it. You can't call something cross platform if it doesn't support at a minimum Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X. I think what you meant was that it is a single vendor's cross-platform strategy.
Don't get me wrong, .NET is a pretty nice framework and the CLI is a great VM platform. But remember that Microsoft first tried to use Java as their platform and failed because they used their typical "EEE" strategy.
When they got the pants sued off of them for doing that, they shifted their focus to .NET and were able to learn from Java's mistakes. Mistakes that the Java developers are working to correct, but doing so takes time to not suddenly break backwards compatibility for the multitude of enterprises that use it.
Also, displacing .NET isn't really that relevant of a goal. Javascript is a client-side language. .NET is not. It is a server-side language. And on the server side, the majority of the web doesn't use [Microsoft IIS](http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2011/09/06/september-2011-web-server-survey.html). In fact, it appears that it's on a downward trend.
And when it comes to growth markets in the client-side space, mobile is clearly where it's at. And last I checked, only a single mobile platform supported .NET. Most of the others are supporting Java (at least to some degree). Not saying that Java is better here as again, this has to do less with client-side web capabilities and more to do with native app support. | null | 0 | 1315839027 | False | 0 | c2jakfi | t3_kcwx2 | null | t1_c2jakfi | t1_c2ja749 | null | 1427590110 | 12 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | pnpbios | null | Says TFS sucks, does not say why TFS sucks
* TFVC is a centralized-server model that requires constant and active communication between a client (read: developer) machine and the server.
Well, it does more than just version control, you can do continuous integration with it, and you can also work offline when you need to.
* TFVC wants you to do everything inside of Visual Studio [10]. When you add a file, it is best to add the file through Visual Studio's contextual menus in your solution explorer. TFS will recognize that you are adding a file and track that file for you. This is great until you need to start adding some files outside of Visual Studio. In my experience, this is usually peripheral code like batch automation scripts, build tools, XML configuration files, etc.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb980963
* TFVC uses a merging solution that is heavy handed and ineffective.
No, it actually works quite well and doesn't litter your source with >>>>>>> mine
* There are many other documented problems and errors with TFS. Some of those are very scary (e.g. losing check ins) but I have not personally run into them.
Bugs get fixed.
His section on bug tracking could apply to most bug trackers.
**TFS as Agile Project Management** is basically my boss doesn't use it right and it hinders creativity, he makes agile sound more like a disorganized clusterfuck.
* You can switch this on and TFS will run your software through a default template associated with your build type. In order to do anything different that the default template (and, believe me, you will), you'll have to go through a 15 step process to create a custom build type [14].
This is why many good teams have a dedicated build engineer.
* The problem is that the TFS ALM is only compatible with one source control system and one build system. And that the TFS Build System is only compatible with one source control system. TFS is actually a package of highly incompatible software that happens to work together but with nothing else.
His FOSS is showing. Guess what, in most real world applications, it's easier to train against one set of software than 5 or 6.
* TFS may be hurting you more than just technically. TFS may be a symptom of a more endemic problem. TFS, as a tool, wholehearted embraces the culture of cradle-to-grave hand holding and dispassionate development. Good developers and organizations all have one thing in common: they are hungry. They thirst for knowledge and delight in trying new things. While at work, they are never satisfied with "okay" but always strive for "better".

True | jlouis8 | null | Intermediate Language, or IL, is commonly used as a term in compiler tech. to signify an internal programming language which acts like a stepping stone towards machine code. Some compilers have several ILs with different properties.
A good example is LLVM, which exposes the LLVM IL as a target for compiler writers. If you want to create a language, you don't have to build the whole compiler chain yourself but only to the point of the LLVM IL. From there on out, LLVM can take over.
As for browsers, you could imagine a bytecode which can be the IL target of JS and probably also Dart. You can build the compiler in as well.

The fundamental flaw in JavaScript according to Google is historic baggage. This is the same bullshit as SPDY, which is a whole new complicated protocol with HTTP-specific hacks in it that accomplishes the same thing as a few minor tweaks to HTTP pipelining would. But instead of working with standards groups they have to push something entirely new that they developed.

True | cunningjames | null | So I have to try *all* extant web apps in order to make a judgment? That doesn’t sound reasonable.
For document editing and reading I’ve tried Google Docs and, briefly, both ThinkFree and Zoho; the web version of Kindle; Safari (although it was a long time ago); the Google eBook reader. Google Docs and Zoho are unusable because both wreak havoc with my keyboard shortcuts (even ignoring the generally limited functionality). And most of my books are PDFs — do you know of a web-based PDF reader that doesn’t suck? Google’s renders text very badly. Its epub reader is admittedly not too bad.
I’ve used Grooveshark some, but I don’t see how it compares even with the much-maligned iTunes with respect to management of a music collection. I’ve also tried Audiogalaxy but found it to be somewhat wonky, and I suspect it won’t be around forever without a better business model. A combination of iTunes and Spotify (which doesn’t even *have* a web app) seems to hit the sweet spot for me.
I’ve never heard of textadventures but it doesn’t seem to be player for the popular hobbyist formats (Zcode, Glulx); web-adventures hardly works but seems to be a rather poor repackaging of [Parchment](http://parchment.toolness.com/)? Parchment definitely works, but there’s no web-based player that handles the graphical layouts which have become somewhat popular over the past few decade or so, nor is there any way to use Parchment to (say) manage multiple ongoing games.
I’ll admit never having done any software development online, but it’d be a *very* tough sell to convince me that anything works better or more fluidly (for me) than Emacs and (occasionally) IntelliJ and variants. | null | 0 | 1315839630 | False | 0 | c2jamuz | t3_kc9ai | null | t1_c2jamuz | t1_c2ja4x4 | null | 1427590148 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | reluctant_qualifier | null | I was wondering this. The document hints that lack of (optional) typing, and a one-size-fits-all Number representation hurts performance, and makes things like code assistance hard to implement.
I don't know enough about language design, though, to comment on whether Javascript could be evolved to overcome these hurdles. I'm assuming IDEs for dynamically typed languages do some sort of type inference at coding time, so I'm wondering whether this is a genuine problem. Sometimes it's nice to throw everything out and start again, but I would be interested to see the thinking behind this.

True | hothrous | null | Commando was good for ATSTs and dealing wounds early on in PvP. It didn't make much sense to play one as an Imperial during PvP but they were almost necessary for rebels.
I was a rebel commando for a while. I logged in and saw a huge amount of players running around Dearic screaming about an ATST. Most of them were standard combatants. Pistoleers, TK, Rifles, Carbines. They had apparently been getting stomped on by a single ATST for a while.
I walked over and saw a couple of guys who had been in my PA and had changed to Imperial at some point standing there with the ATST. Everybody was huddled around trying to figure out some plan.
I talked to the two guys for a while. Reminisced about old times, then said something along the lines of "Sorry guys, but I'm going to kill your ATST now"
They offered me a million credits if I could do it by myself. I pulled out a spider thing. I can't remember what it was called but I needed 2 ladders from CH to control it. I sent it in. I backed up and shot the ATST with 3 rockets and it fell.

I'm guessing the author of the article is coming from a smaller team, which is where most of his complaints apply. If you've only got two or three developers working on the same project, TFS is probably overkill.

If you're making a language that compiles to ES, ES3 is the most sane target: it has universal adoption where ES5 is still not widely implemented and doesn't require you to really give up anything. ES5 mostly just adds new core methods that a compiler doesn't care about.

The per-process heap question complicated. It's not just "shared heap obviously good, per-process heap obviously bad".
A single (shared) heap means that you can save memory (by sharing things between processes) and cut copying. But a per-process heap has advantages too. It lets you GC one heap without having to worry about what other processes are doing. It lets you clean up a terminated process by just throwing out the whole heap.
A few years back (2004?), a shared heap was part of the standard Erlang distribution, i.e. you could turn it on just by passing -shared. IIRC, it was faster in some benchmarks, slower in others and didn't spark enough interest to let it take over. It's not a clear win. | null | 0 | 1315841672 | False | 0 | c2javs4 | t3_kcpdg | null | t1_c2javs4 | t1_c2ja1vy | null | 1427590259 | 11 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
