The numbers are impressive for sure. One worry that I have is about how to validate the message received from each of the microservices. We have a json composed of different data types and some amount of nested collections in there as well. With something like Go[1] or Scala[2], we can convert a json or each of the objects inside a collection in the JSON into an object.

Yes, we tried it already and we have certain sinatra/rails based services, but it's causing difficulties for the developers new to ruby and those who've recently come in and been working only on ruby, since they know only part of the stack. So we stuck to the PHP version and are averse to diversifying our code base into multiple languages.

Hope Patrick or someone in the HN crowd doesn't mistake it for Bingo Card Creator ;)

Does tmux support tab/windows re-ordering like browser do with tabs? I miss it in screen.

I use backtick(`) as the meta key and that works till I'm 2 levels nested. I can do `+p or ``+p to go to the next screen window at the 1st or 2nd level this way. However, 3rd level doesn't work, unless I set a different meta key on the 3rd machine. Having some shortcut to select the current nesting level would be awesome :)

I'm getting 60 fps approximately for the spinning cube with chrome 6 on Ubuntu Lucid and my laptop has a core i3 with built in arrandale based GPU, not an nvidia or ati one.

Not long ago, on an older laptop, I was getting the same fps for native Linux apps. Seems browsers are acquiring native capabilities, but at a faster rate :)

I'd say do your best to beat your competition, but within the spirit of law.

And no NIH syndrome to control everything in your stack.

Means you could have used android, linux or webkit etc instead of writing everything yourself.

But choice is good too, so give it a rip and happy days to you and us consumers :)

I myself have set up a site with a woothemes template and it was easy and painless and it worked across browsers too. It will take me forever to learn enough html, css, js to make the site look this good and also cross browser compatible, if I did this by myself from scratch. And gravity forms(http://www.gravityforms.com/) rocks too, for contact, download or sign up forms.

I think it's like a turf war inside MS and the existing IE team managers wouldn't like to lose their position of strength and the no.of developers working under them.

Also the browser is taking up more of the OS capabilities, like threads, storage, GPU acceleration and so on. So MS would be reluctant to let the browser become too strong. But the horse has already bolted and there's always Linux, Android, Meego etc for the browser makers to cater for the netbook, tablet, smart phone markets.

I tried sproutcore for a project about 2 years ago and couldn't make the table widget work with page up, down etc.

Instead I finalized on qooxdoo - http://qooxdoo.org/ and was impressed with it and the mailing list was and is responsive and the developers from 1&1 quick to fix any bugs I found :)

And I finally had the table widget I always wanted with keyboard shortcuts for all the things I wanted.

Of course, it could be me not knowing enough to make sproutcore's table widget work like I wanted, since I was only a beginner in JS back then.

Edit: The demo at http://demo.sproutcore.com/table_view/ for the table still doesn't work with page up or page down. Maybe the feature is there, but not enabled for this demo.
