just like large part of GOOG revenue comes from Google being the default search engine in Firefox,
some day Mozilla may pull the plug and switch to some other SE i.e. Bing or DDG

Being able to earn some money on the internet does not make you any smarter from any other profession. So it's just the internet what makes you feel so special. Good luck software engineering your bilion dollars without it.

Software engineer job is not different from any other and I can't see any reason why it SHOULD be.

Once You give a little bit more of real code into those requests your JVM will die from continous GC. It's simple math :)

"the smartest guys" didn't want to work on health problems, ok, however
Google Search is pretty much crap lately, AdWords/Facebook ads campaigns are expensive and ineffective
maybe it's not that bad after all
dotborg | 13 years ago | on: MEGA require source code of Applications using their API
just like Google requires a lot of informations(including source code) when applying for AdWords API

they read postgres docs, that's just.. amazing:)
dotborg | 13 years ago | on: Try JavaScript macro expansion using Sweet.js in the browser
problem of static analysis in JS code is difficult, yet it's worth to solve,
coolness of JS and safety of static analysis, that would be great
macros are just lame workaround:)
dotborg | 13 years ago | on: Try JavaScript macro expansion using Sweet.js in the browser
I see at least two problems:
- debugging such code is a nightmare(node.js itself makes it hard enough)
- static analysis of such code is not possible.. yet?
JS and programmers should target Java-like experience imo, static analysis, code assist, dependency check - all of it performed on-the-fly. We won't get it by creating yet another layer above main language, because IDE vendors simply can't cope.
dotborg | 13 years ago | on: Try JavaScript macro expansion using Sweet.js in the browser
that's not the direction language and programmers should follow

web based WYSIWYG document editors are mature, yet MS Office is just fine
dotborg | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: How can a seasoned developer approach design and be good enough?
This way your designing process is limited to your HTML/CSS skills, while the point of being being good designer is to have no limits(except imagination)
dotborg | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Web app architecture
use window.pushstate instead of urls with hashes,
you can change URL in window address without reloading entier page
Google will index "hashbangs", but they will rank poorly and you will get only small amount of traffic from search
