And it seems to me that for the way web application are moving toward client-side, the bulk of the code will be on javascript in the future or a greater chunk of it.
What I liked about Eclipse&java is of course code completion (for the logWordsJavaUsesForClassesAndPackage) but most of all the order it brings to all of that comlpexity (classes, packages, enums, the use of different patterns ecc).
if think the more we go toward a complexification (does it exists in english ;P) of javascript projects, the more we are going to need something that bring order in the chaos.
Otherwise we will be a bit overwhelmed by the code of a language not born to do what we are using it for today.

Well, if you think fishing and hunting are economy, go with that.
zooey | 14 years ago | on: TED and inequality: The real story
Economy has no rules outside the square we create. So, there's no such thing as Economy per se.
You have to remember that the reason a group of people doesn't go out and take what they want is that there is a State, there are laws, there is a monopoly of legitimate force (the police): all of this can survive only if there is a contract between state and the people. All the people, not just the rich or who has a job or <put a category here>

Value does not exists per se.
You are so simplicistic here, guys, when you talk about rich and poor.
I know you are not so young, but sometimes it seems you are a group of small kids talking about life.

Jobs didn't see his choice just because was the only one: it is that the other people had already discarded that option because they were "expert player"
And by the way, zen is not about knowledge is about leaving the words to the dogs to eat and being in touch with the present time.

Oracle is a very very very good database. Stop with this non sense

So if minimum wage let some people out, the same happens not letting children work. And why taking care of people with physical problems (no hands? no legs? why the State, using public money should care? You are a problem just let you take care of yourself)?
You set the rules of your society. It doesn't exists something called free market. The market is defined by the rules of the society AND the society change in time AND space. So the market change in time AND space.
And these Friedman bullshit are the same you hear over and over and over.
And I'm a bit tired.

Dismissing what he says is dismissing philosophy or sociology, disciplines that for their very nature do not accept the status quo and want to test the rules our world is based on.
By the way, after reading some of his writing, I can say that he writes really damn well.

If something can't be proved false, you know...
zooey | 15 years ago | on: The Tax Haven That's Saving Google Billions
And, to put that simple, we are not talking about a couple of thousands dollar a software engineer is not paying: we are talking about millions (billions?). Greed is bad, is fucking bad. And all this talking about disruptive innovation is usually a bunch of stupid Internet Services to play with. I think the hacking community is overestimating its value.
No cancer cure. No cheap energy. No cleaner air. Just some web app, iPhone app, something app.
Google taxes would fix a lot of problems, just letting millionaires a bit more poor. I can live with that, why you can't?

The screenshot on the left is the whole software. It is just a menu coming up from a taskbar icon.
But yeah, I will collect some more info and send you. In the mean time you could install and try. It's a quite simple piece of software :) .
