shasty | 13 years ago | on: Beautiful Windows 8 concept

It really is beautiful. If I didnt know it was going to annoy me to no end like all windows apps do, I would try it. Very good effort.

shasty | 13 years ago | on: MVC is dead, it's time to MOVE on

Sorry, composable operations and models firing events is bullshit. The article is somewhat correct in that true MVC is dead in practice, however, service oriented architectures have already filled this void.

Eventing is HORRIBLE. Regardless of the source, but models especially are not the place to be firing events.

This was all tried years ago. Before writing an article purporting to replace a foundational concept in application development maybe do a little more research into what the actual practical solutions to these factoring problems are.

shasty | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is there a name for the concept of "value changes upon read"?

Its typicaly considered the worst of all side effects of a programming language. Ive heard it referred to only as a side effect. But there is the issue of representation in quantum physics which is real, observation does change the state.

Good question but programming languages avoid this, you would have to coin your own.

shasty | 13 years ago | on: Attention HTML5 mobile devs. It doesnt work

Seems to be doing a good job, is not really a technical statement. Lot of things that fail seem to be doing a good job.

Im sure Zuck had a meeting yesterday about his mobile HTML5 team and said "You seem to be doing a good job".

shasty | 13 years ago | on: "X-" deprecated for HTTP headers

I dont know if this will get approved but forcing us all to integrate headers into HTTP standards is not going to work. Thats why X headers exist.

We need ways to move forward or e ven sideways if thats what we choose using an extension mechanism that is simple.

shasty | 13 years ago | on: Retina Images in Webkit

I really dont like this notion of developers catering to Apple's capricious DPI choices which will be device dependent.

I love Apple products, but I dont see anyone getting on this bandwagon in a serious way unless there is an industry standard. You dont just force producers to provide modified images because you release one new device or even 3.

This is a total Antipattern that Apple in the end will regret.

Hopefully no one with any sense will use these features.

If they are like a company I used to work for Meebo probably has a patent that reads as follows:

System and message for sending a message using a computer system
