Re:Fake Steve Jobs on Chrome OS on Wednesday July 08, 2009 @04:54PM (#694664)
Chrome is my default browser at work where I run windows.

The toilet paper comment made me laugh hard though.

I guess maybe

1)helping encourage widespread html 5 and better javascript support so more people can run google apps

2) deals with hardware vendors

The big question is, will these netbooks and such running chrome os have all the linux tools available, or is this going to be a certified google world, with google package management?

Re:Netbeans for PHP gets an enthusiastically positive review on Wednesday May 27, 2009 @02:48AM (#628120)
I stumbled onto using Netbeans for PHP a few months ago while doing some Java work. I use it almost exclusively for PHP now (I also use geany for quick edits). While it's not quite as slick as the Java support, it is a world better than anything else I've used. Also the subversion and mercurial integration kicks ass.

Hope oracle continues to support development, but if not, we have the source.

Wake up, it's supported both at least since 6.5. I've used mercurial in netbeans for several months and it works great.

It's unlikely the small percentage of programmers who use twitter are representative of programmers in general.

Re:Interview with AMD Java Labs on Friday May 08, 2009 @10:17PM (#600633)
It's a few weeks old, but as someone pointed out to me, if it hasn't been posted, why not :)

This is a fascinating interview (who here even knew there was an AMD Java labs?). Some nice performance tips, and just a great listen for anyone into Java.

an erlang talk is cool and all, but why do people post links to videos from 2007 here???
Re:Ask HN: Reasonable Java editor for heavily CLI-oriented UNIX types ... on Wednesday May 06, 2009 @09:56PM (#597266)
That said, maybe Geany is what you want... It's lightweight and somewhere in between an IDE an editor. I quite like it.
Re:Ask HN: Reasonable Java editor for heavily CLI-oriented UNIX types ... on Wednesday May 06, 2009 @09:55PM (#597263)
it seems really weird to me you find netbeans complicated. There's a reason java developers use bloated IDE's for anything more than quick edits. Spend a week in Netbeans and I bet you a lap dance you keep using it.
