Yeah cheers to that guy who built the office suite. Why is there so much negative feedback towards said hacker?

Good point about user experience. Are there any tools you use specifically to test ux that isn't manual?

The regular expression pattern checking is pretty awesome. I'll disagree though where they say you don't need any more server side validations. You can easily remove / change the pattern value in the DOM. Which begs the question, what's the integrity of client-side testing if it cam be bypassed so easily?

What exactly is the process like?

If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you've got a team of about 10 - 15 engineers that'd be over a million dollars you'd be burning in 1 year for a code rewrite. And most code rewrites that I've seen or been a part of take more than 1 year.

What's happening to hackernews? While there's still a handful of insightful comments and submissions, the culture feels like it's starting to shift with everyone having their noses in the air. I'm starting to use this site less and less, and it's a shame. Oh well.

Flash solves the problem of cross-platform development really well vs other platforms. You don't have to worry about making conditional statements for specific operating systems or browsers. I feel the rapid deploying of browsers is just increasing the fragmented world of html + js. There are just way too many different implementations of html to make it enjoyable coding on.

And also, the way flash handles making animations and anti-aliasing almost makes my very non-artistic feel somewhat versatile when tackling those things.

performance on these games are shit on the iphone 4, and the 2nd game flickers unless its in landscape mode. Why are people championing for sub-par technology?

It isn't dead. This hatred towards flash has become a mob mentality and it's stupid. No one's charging you to run their software. There have been a lot of amazing cross platform applications made because of flash.

doesnt work on my iphone 4. is this the future of cross browser compatibility?

it's an interesting project none the less.

Stuff like this just proves how flash is superior to the html5 spec. This technology is fragmented and it's hurting the web. By the time all the smartphones are fast enough to run flash smoothly, there'll still be different browser implementations of html5. This is why it's a shame adobe stopped developin their mobile plug-in. Oh well, adobe air is still doing strong on native mobile apps.

When I go on to hacker news, I really don't expect the top comment to be a blatant advertisement for some site for the most part irrelevant to the article. Why are people upvoting this?
