The cat and mouse game has started!

It's still not cross platform. Changes made to the Makefile under one OS might break easily under the other OS's.

Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card.

1) Almost every application uses technology that's build on older technology that's build on older technology. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

2) Nobody says browsers want to replace all applications. It's a false condition the whole article is based on.

And why is it anonymous? Does he/she know it's nonsense?

For a moment, I confused Weyl points with Ley lines and was shocked by disbelief.

Ley lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ley_line

I hope it's meant ironic. It's just a movie and a link pointing to a non existing page which contains an image...

This is a very simple list for simple sites.

More serious sites will have a much longer list.

Etc. etc.

He's the modern version of Bob Ross.

Christian Heilmann makes a lot of thinking errors here:

1) Because a technology fails in the hands of amateurs or learners, doesn't mean the technology is bad.

2) He assumes webdeverlopers don't think about the consequences of a JavaScript only website. In my experience, that's not the case.

3) The fact that there's a lot of talk about JavaScript frameworks does not mean webdevelopers are less interested in the end product. It means JavaScript and everything around it is in flux and improving every month. And the decision which framework to pick is very important. It can mean the difference between a stalled or thriving end product one year later.

Hmm, so it's not Open Source? So it's not a community effort? So the developers are paid? Then how are these expenses earned back?

I looked in this online Belgian strip store and for the Dutch language market (quite small demographic), I could find 5 (five) titles for girls! And I'm pretty sure there's more (Noortje, Tina...)

As you can see in the video, all cyclists drive quite slow. In the Netherlands, cyclists who use their bike for sport, do wear helmets and go outside town.

Nice JavaScript/WebGL demo. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well on the iPhone. The rendering is good, left/right works, but accelaration is broken.

Nice. I really like to see C, C++ and asm.js versions.

There actually is a project that wants to replace the html/css/javascript browsers: Adobe Air.

For some reasons it's not really taking off.

The definition of a scripting language is that the source code (the script) is the program.

Worst thing is that serious bugs in Safari that surfaced during beta are not fixed for release.

Too bad it's limited to the Netherlands.

I never would've thought PHP was popular in Turkey.

That's because one of the stupidest bugs I've heard of: if you select the Turkey language (tr_TR) as locale, your PHP-code breaks:

Fortunately, it will be fixed in the upcoming PHP 5.5.

15" MacBook Pro (early 2011) with 16GB and 512GB SSD. I'm satisfied :-)

"The land of the free" - Unfortunately that's more and more just a dream, in a world where more and more countries are more free than the USA.

I much prefer to be the JavaScript guy than the PHP guy. JavaScript does have some pitfalls, but they're easy to avoid. JavaScript is way cleaner and better thought out than PHP. Python is still very small. The two big "enterprisey" languages C# and Java are ubiquitous and are hard to excel in.

It's indeed not wise to use technologies only one employee knows. The best way is to chose technologies together and find developers who want to learn those. You have to motivate your colleagues to jump on board. And tell the senior developer websites will be more and more depending on JavaScript. It's not 2000 anymore.

My experience with JFK airport (New York) is not so good, too. It's very chaotic, staff at the helpdesk doesn't listen to you questions but fill in what they think you want, everybody seems to be at their first day on the job, they can only do what their screen says, some places are dark (no lights), airline desks are/seem to be made from cardboard, etcetera.

You are blamed just like you blame the interface designers. Don't be mad.

Fact is, most reported problems, in the end, are caused by the user him/herself, so his response is not that bad.

Nice to see how the appearance of characters in games become more and more realistic.

The alternative is that the bank goes bankrupt and you lose everything. Be glad.

Beautiful example of parallax scrolling.

This makes the migh moral standards claim of believers staggering.
