I was hoping to see more responses :). Looks like hacker community already has ditched Java Web frameworks.
I personally like how Play has evolved, but adoption is severely thin. They just got typesafe backing but Spring with the muscle behind it might be able to shove the rest away.

Web has evolved and Java web frameworks are still in the 90's. What does the Hacker community think about which Java Web framework is going to nudge out the rest and really adopted by the masses.Play is beautiful, Roo is confusing and seems like another me too. Struts, JSF are operating from coffins.what will survive in 2012 and next few years?
I am exploring play for my next project, and all i can say is i am thoroughly impressed. With typesafe providing resources, i am hoping this seriously dents J2EE stacks.
2 years back i spent 2K on a group of 4, movies and dinner. It is getting expensive. Growing up, i never spent more than 100 rupees on dinner for one.
This comparison is asinine at best. The runtime is bound to be bigger. And remember DART eventually will have the runtime included in Chrome and hopefully other browsers. The way things are going in the browser world, all people might actually care about is Chrome and if there is a wonderful IDE support which comes with strongly typed languages, there is a real shot at this becoming a standard.
Wow what a relief to see they are dogfooding. This is built on GWT and the performance is kick ass.
We are evaluating Cloud foundry (Java GWT App) and so far changes seem doable to port. The reason cloud foundry is viable is that there is no lock in and if one provider flips another one is just round the corner.
Thanks, yes looks like Typography is the most critical thing. Any pointers for typography?
Thanks will look and will definitely post the URL once we iron out the last few nicks.
i should have mentioned. Our UI is GWT and not sure if custom template would work.

We got done building our site but it has developer looks.
How to find a cheap way of improving the look and feel? What sites/designers have you guys looked at to improve the look. I know many people on hacker news suggest hire a professional, but where to hire a cheap and reliable professional?
This guy is so much in love with himself :)
wow enjoy the site it is back now as bandwidth limits wane.

This guy was trending on twitter above everyone else.Unfortunately most of the images from his blog have been removed since then but the one with blinking eyes is a killer. Hackers let's build websites like these more often. There are marketing lessons to be had from this.Here is link to some other...
agreed that there are more costlier things to worry, but spending the money should be justified. Just the buzz is not a good enough reason, there has to be better reasons. I have personally not experienced downtimes which might justify a better price for one.

We use bitbucket and it has been awesome for a small startup. I am surprised that Github charges close to $12 a month for DVCS.
what do you guys think Github offers which justifies the price? I am pretty happy withn my bitbucket free plan which allow 5 collaborators and private repos.
This makes more sense, random users being able to request RESETS. I agree sending a time bound link to registered email is better.
What type of token generation mechanism would you use to send with the link to identify a user or to make sure that the link is being requested by the right user.
Hmm...interesting. Click wise it probably is less clicks and you are also forcing the user to change his password. Unless you add logic to ask the user to change his password with one time token, it probably makes more sense to send a link to reset pwd.
We do use BCrypt. Trying to figure out if implementing an extra layer of sending an email with a link to reset password has advantages over just sending a one time changed password.

What do you guys think is a better and safer way to handle forgot password? Many sites out there reset and create a temporary password and send it in email in plain text.
Others normally ask you to provide email and send a link via which you can reset password. It probably is easier to reset password and send it for one time use in an email as long as it is hashed and stored.What do you guys...
Google Chromebook will have updates but they will be of chrome browser types where they happen behind the scenes and downloads are tiny. You restart your browser and you are on a new version. No one even cares what version of chrome browser you are running now, because they have made versions obsolete. That being said it is a little curious why they had to do it on first boot for 7 minutes. But everyone who is used to microsoft PC's please 7 minutes is like a blink of an eye we have dealt with microsoft's day long updates for 2 decades now.
