Re:Mobile Operators Announce Commitment to Firefox OS on Sunday February 24, 2013 @03:50PM (#5275841)
just like large part of GOOG revenue comes from Google being the default search engine in Firefox,

some day Mozilla may pull the plug and switch to some other SE i.e. Bing or DDG

Being able to earn some money on the internet does not make you any smarter from any other profession. So it's just the internet what makes you feel so special. Good luck software engineering your bilion dollars without it.

Software engineer job is not different from any other and I can't see any reason why it SHOULD be.

Once You give a little bit more of real code into those requests your JVM will die from continous GC. It's simple math :)

"the smartest guys" didn't want to work on health problems, ok, however

Google Search is pretty much crap lately, AdWords/Facebook ads campaigns are expensive and ineffective

maybe it's not that bad after all

Re:Try JavaScript macro expansion using Sweet.js in the browser on Thursday January 17, 2013 @01:53PM (#5074390)
problem of static analysis in JS code is difficult, yet it's worth to solve,

coolness of JS and safety of static analysis, that would be great

macros are just lame workaround:)

Re:Try JavaScript macro expansion using Sweet.js in the browser on Thursday January 17, 2013 @01:53AM (#5071442)
I see at least two problems:

- debugging such code is a nightmare(node.js itself makes it hard enough)

- static analysis of such code is not possible.. yet?

JS and programmers should target Java-like experience imo, static analysis, code assist, dependency check - all of it performed on-the-fly. We won't get it by creating yet another layer above main language, because IDE vendors simply can't cope.

Re:Try JavaScript macro expansion using Sweet.js in the browser on Thursday January 17, 2013 @12:38AM (#5071183)
that's not the direction language and programmers should follow
docking station, monitor, keyboard + mouse?

that's no longer a smartphone

web based WYSIWYG document editors are mature, yet MS Office is just fine
This way your designing process is limited to your HTML/CSS skills, while the point of being being good designer is to have no limits(except imagination)
Re:Ask HN: Web app architecture on Saturday January 12, 2013 @04:32PM (#5048967)
use window.pushstate instead of urls with hashes,

you can change URL in window address without reloading entier page

Google will index "hashbangs", but they will rank poorly and you will get only small amount of traffic from search
