Great loss to tech world.

I have used Guice and then Dagger in projects. I admired the simplicity and his thought process which might have gone through to create these amazing projects.

Bob you'll be missed.

If you want true freedom, get a Nokia 8110 - I felt a weight off my shoulder using the device. Atleast for the week I've used the device.

Then, life caught on. You can't manage kids' activities, work schedules and your social life without a smartphone these days.

I have been using Chrome Remote Desktop for accessing my desktop (Ubuntu) when I'm away. It does the job well.

While I have used the Mac client, I have not used it as the host yet.

The benefit of Chrome Remote Desktop is the ability to access your desktop from any computer with Chrome installed using your login credentials. It also does the audio out, etc very well.

I moved from being in a software only world where I couldn't see the benefit of my work, to one where I see my work being used on a daily basis. I find the sense of helping people and improving their lives oddly satisfying.

I do acknowledge working with non-technie teams is frustrating to start with, but once you bring them to learn the benefits it becomes pleasurable.

Thanks for posting this story, I loved reading Nautilus articles. Today I've decided to do something about supporting them - I have purchased their Prime Membership.

I wish more of us can do the same.

Can you please provide a link for the video.

After decades of providing us insecure software, are we supposed to blame Microsoft for doing the right thing & getting things _almost_ right?

I have not yet found an Antivirus software which can truly educates the user - there are wonderful opportunities in there for the right kind of company/product. Proactive solutions beat reactive solutions hands down. Like they say "Stitch in time saves nine"

Frankly, all these arguments are by people who never tried Dart in the first place. Dart is perfect for large scale applications - especially enterprise ones.

I have been using GWT since 2007, so I'm rather biased. I have come from a Java/Swing Development, so developing with GWT was rather easy for me. Over the years as I've been training junior developers to develop with GWT, I found it is rather hard for them to get their heads around the framework. But, once they do - it becomes easier.

GWT is for large codebases, if you are trying to make a small project with GWT - you won't find much benefit from it. As the development is Java based, there is a lot of cross-pollination of good ideas, practices and tools. For example, you could use familiar testing frameworks, DI frameworks and debugging tools.

Finally, you can share code between Server, Web Clients and (Native) Mobile Clients. This is one feature which is hard to beat in today's code multi-platform world. Checkout https://drive.google.com/a/vaadin.com/file/d/0B3ktS-w9vr8IS2...

I don't own the Echo, might be something I would consider buying at some point.

I do have access to WolframAlpha but haven't yet taught her how to use it - maybe it's a bit early for her, I'll give it a go.

Early on I did show her how to use the Google Now to ask questions - like how far is the Moon & like. That's about all the parenting I have done in this regard. She has been watching way too many How Stuff Works videos lately - I want to see if that spills over into her being more curious about things.

@akiselv: Some of the questions my daughter has asked:

> how does an earthquake happen > when was the first Christchurch earthquake > what are the well known constellations > how big is cat VY Canis Majoris > what is the biggest star > how old is Pluto > what is Fusion > how was the sun formed

This is from one session.

Google knowing a bit about me & my voice is little scary, but hearing my 8yr old daughter ask about the cosmos & other scientific questions on Google, is to me, priceless.

Yes, I do have a docking station.

I have been using HP Elitebook 8470p - everything works out of the box (Including the HSPA modem & suspend to ram).

This is the companies response - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ukGrwL4ky4

I would love to see the code for each of the tests. And most importantly the optimizations used for each. It's always important to get the baseline right before arriving at a conclusion.

Patience my dear friend, patience. I have been using Vim as my editor of choice for over a decade, I think I barely use 10% of its features.

Your configuration is always evolving - so don't fret if a plugin or a setting is not working for you, it just means its gotto go..

That said focus on `your productivity` over a religious choice of an editor. You actually got to live with it for decades to come. choose the right one which fits your use case.

Most good developers can barely remember a line of code, they usually have a general idea as to how you could implement aspects a concept and build on it as they go. Incremental changes

Not that long ago, I found myself in a similar situation as you are. Though I was running my consulting company - I hit the bottom and needed to change, change I did.

Few things I do differently now and has helped me a lot: 1. I focussed on side projects as a way to blow-off steam - this helped me a lot. (Looks like you are already doing it) 2. Spice up your work environment - good audiobooks always help me stay sane on those long coding days. I usually choose some good light-hearted reading rather than the intense novels. 3. I allocated days to work on my side projects during the work-week. ThIs meant I had to get creative around how I schedule my work-work. Eg: Sometimes I had to work long hours (10+) to finish up with my work schedule. 4. Switch off day - usually on Sunday I tend not to do anything work related.

I'm not sure what your business model is or whether you are already making money - $20K is not a lot of money, especially if you have employees working for you - I would say keep a tight hold on money.

As you mentioned you have a market ready product, spend as much as you can on customer validation and getting new customers - invariably would would find you might need the cash flow for the process and scaling up. Cost of sale is often underestimated, and sometimes you will find unexpected expenditure when you thought things are going well. If you are building an enterprise focussed product - you would have to allow at the least 3 months of lead time for getting a customer signed.

I start my day with meditation - It helps clarify the day for me. I started initially with 1 min of mediation then gradually increased it to 5mins.

I usually set the timer for 5 mins and once it goes off - it's a different me.

Love the cool handbook. I would love to know what the hiring process is like. How does Zaarly protect itself from employees who'll leach company & team of valuable resources.

Having the same issue.

I know... I was talking about the optimizations which JVM does on fly.

Having developed in Java for years, I agree with some of the points which PG has predicted 11yrs ago!

That said, using Java is sort of a insurance policy.

1. It's easy to find developers. _Sometimes_ easier to outsource modules. 2. It's usually hard to make mistakes in Java (you can screw up, if you want to) - mainly due to great tooling and excellent time-tested frameworks which help a tonne. 3. Has good complementary languages (Scala, Groovy, JRuby..), which interop well with other frameworks at large. 3. JVM does black-magic for you.

I guess committee did make a decent pick then.

I feel the article comments are a bit unfair. It demonstrated Google+ (& Hangouts) very well.

Simple concept of real-time video streaming using a web enabled Glasses looks easy, but its hard to do.

And, a good PR is always a big win.

Maybe you should reconsider how you have designed your setup.

Do some testing to see how much memory you have allocated to the JVM - how much resources each of your rails apps are consuming.. Use a Heap Analyser (or similar) - it could give you good insights into what is hogging up the resources.

Yup, JVM takes up huge resources. But, when you put the app in production, you can be rest assured it will perform. JVM gives you piece of mind.
