This worked surprisingly well. They started with almost pure HTML with the results split into multiple tables to produce what looked like a single table of results. The only drawback was that the columns needed fixed width so that they would align properly.

After a while they switched to a Javascript based solution with dynamic filters. They used the same backend streaming engine to output chunks of Javascript code inside <script>-tags, which called a global "addResult(...)" method to update the state. If the search was cached, it would first render HTML code server side, which was then "hydrated" by the javascript code if needed.

Later it was replaced with a standard XHR polling mechanism.

It is interesting to look back at what we had to do that is trivial with today's technology.

But there's no guarantee that it will apply for all pages.

It would probably have to be configured per repo so that it doesn't mess with tab delimited files etc.

There's a free plugin that adds Lombok support to Intellij. You will be able to use getters/setters/builders etc. as if they were compiled.

1.7 introduced a simplified version:

Map<String,User> userIdMap = new HashMap<>();

* Creating gradient text using one <font color="..."> for each letter. http://jsfiddle.net/A2VCE/

* Putting text in <noscript> and <noframes> tags to support old browsers

* Add "lowsrc" attribute to <img> because the larger image would take too long to load.

* List detailed hardware specs for the web server on the "about us" page.

"Sir, are you sure you want stack loaves of bread here at Trader Joe’s? Yes, I really do. Well, we’ve decided to hire the 24 year-old woman with purple hair and nose piercings instead."

He tried to get more traditional jobs, but they don't want him.

According to the Free Software Foundation, it is a free software license but not compatible with the GNU GPL.

"Aircraft carriers in space" makes sense to me. I assume that warping space requires a lot of energy that requires huge reactors that don't fit in small fighters. They would depend on a "mothership" for long range travel.

This article has a refreshing view of the story with lots of details. Instead of the classic "Bill Gates took advantage of Kildall" story that is often repeated, this is more about the many poor business decisions on Kildall's part. If this story is accurate, it would seem that Microsoft saw an opening when Kildall couldn't close the deal with IBM and took it. I don't see anything wrong with that.

The article was flagged only 16 minutes after it was created, so it didn't have time to evolve.

A better future is one where each content producer would just publish meta data in an open format that others could redistribute. In the meta data there would be a link to a web service using a standard format for buying/downloading the content.

Publishers could provide affiliate programs as an incentive for creating innovative ways of distributing the content. There would still be room for iTunes as an aggregator or a service for payment/downloading, but we would not rely on a few gatekeepers for our content. By providing the meta data in an open format it will enable anyone to distribute content. We could have a "Hacker Movies" where people submit movies and vote them up or other possibilities that would be up to others to imagine.

The article I linked says the following:

"The study, which was conducted between November 2010 and November 2011, found that globally, 56% of Opera users and 43% of those who use another browser only access the Internet via their mobile devices. In some countries, including Egypt (72%), Bangladesh (69%), Brazil (65%) and South Africa (61%), these numbers for Opera users are significantly higher."

> Granted, I'm in the US, which is probably very different from the demographics in Opera Mini's user base.

I can only speculate to why they prefer using a mobile, but I think that the infrastructure is so different from our countries that we shouldn't necessarily base our assumptions on what we would have done.

Considering that many of the users only access the Internet via their mobile devices I think Facebook would care about them.
