detay··on Steam Expands Beyond Games
Before they do anything, I hope they'd get rid of the BLACK theme. Anytime I access steam, my eyes burn.
detay··on MySQL now includes memcached, and a plugin that allows fast NoSQL-style access
If mysql would throw flying pigs out of my server I still won't be using it. Not in a world where PostgreSQL exists.
detay··on First screenshots of App.net
I'm sorry but either you see your project more important than it is, or you don't know how to present it. (I think both is true.)
detay··on Live CERN Higgs Announcement in 20 Mins
CERN: Makes you feel stupid since 1954
detay··on MVC is dead, it's time to MOVE on

detay··on GitHub for Windows
Am I the only one having problems on 64-bit windows?
detay··on NameCheap Overtakes Go Daddy In Google
Namecheap does not seize your expired domain and does not try to sell it back to you overpriced. Namecheap does not have a bloated disfunctional website. Namecheap does not have hidden costs. Namecheap is developer friendly, has an API and a sandbox. Namecheap does not fuck the consumer.
detay··on Show HN: I just launched a new blogging platform
"please be a free member for a month, for a blogging system that features you're not gonna see until you use it."

I think that's asking too much for a blogging system where it has free and wastly used alternatives. You guys need to put up a video and/or a presentation, some visual candy so that people would know what they are about to get.

the example in the main page does not show anything that is being backed up by a blogging system. it's just text and a hyperlink.

detay··on The Daily WTF goes white to "support" SOPA
LOL bringing back the Gopher... Brilliant protest.
detay··on Hacker News Blacking Out Logo
Any response to SOPA is better than none.
detay··on Building the next generation file system for Windows: ReFS
Quote: "With this in mind, we will implement ReFS in a staged evolution of the feature: first as a storage system for Windows Server, then as storage for clients, and then ultimately as a boot volume. This is the same approach we have used with new file systems in the past."

So it will be a bootable FS eventually.

detay··on The People's Skype
There goes the privacy of phone calls. (like the government wasn't listening enough)
detay··on Mozilla launched popcorn.js
Still did not understand what good it is for. To put tweets and google map on a page?
detay··on "I've got an idea for an app"
Great point, and if I may say ideas are almost worthless. They're floating all over, they're everywhere. Bad ones, good ones, done ones... I believe what makes it worth is the execution, the effort of making an app running and selling.

I believe `Angry Birds` is a good example of it. It's success did not come from the idea at all. A simple game with a good execution and good marketing made it so popular.

Agreeing with the article; I just want to add that hearing people's ideas also put you into an awkward position. They give you responsibility of either not doing that application without that person's consent or sharing a revenue.

You usually don't need neither, because as a developer you're already putting more mental work on how to come up with better apps than some friend's mother of yours.

And hearing people like they invented the wheel all the time really is boring.

detay··on Why Google+ is Poised to Fail
Isn't it a bit early comment? The article takes G+ as it's initial version, and does not give it a chance to develop, whereas it took many years for facebook to become what it is...

Weird thing is many articles comparing these two social networking sites fall into same problem. These services are dynamic and with every feature they implement, they put a new value in the market, thus they change the balances.

I think it's great that finally facebook has an "alternative". I think it's great that a software giant is in this game now. This will fasten things up and increase overall quality (hence the comptetetion).

Long in short: too early to judge and compare g+ with fb. G+ has great potential.

detay··on Introducing BrowserID: A better way to sign in
I don't want to see another browser-specific feature from mozilla. As mentioned here several times it doesn't seem too different from openId and it's for mozilla!

seemed pointless to me.
