I think google is heading the way of SUN, they now make many nice products that add no obvious revenue streams!

What google really needs is to make products that make money and the re-organization need to be based around that, employee compensations and incentive should be based around how much money they make for google.

for example, unless its clear how much money the go lang will save for google, they should kill the project and just use C++ or Haskell or whatever!

The way I read it is, they will maintain Qt to maintain the past ... but not to build their future

which I think is bad for anyone who wanted to invest in Qt, we all want to develop for platform of the future not the past

  learning to program is deceptively hard.

  First you think it hard, 
  then you think its not, 
  then you think its hard, 
  then you think its not,
   ...

You are probably asking the wrong crowd ...

I tend to believe that most people who are coders, developer and into FOSS, tend to buy very little software and only pay for the absolute necessary

This is not a bad thing, software is our thing, so we just won't pay for anything

But I've seen people pay for less trivial stuff, like items on a facebook game.

So probably we won't, but that never will mean, that millions of web browsers won't! I can almost bet that if you sell an extension that claims to make chrome more secure, enough people will buy it to make you happy!

ahhh, i didnt know about rvm ... just use and recommend rvm then!

maybe Ruby should get something like perlbrew http://search.cpan.org/~gugod/App-perlbrew-0.15/lib/App/perl...

this is good magic

"So if you live in the United States" ... yet the address country box had Egypt.

désolé

in that case I must learn me some C++

One question, I noticed that the pdf from from the onyxneon site is 185 pages long, when a previous draft which i downloaded from chromatic's site was 273 pages long.

Where did all those pages go?

"Going from Javascript to Coffeescript today feels a lot like going from Java to Ruby felt to me in early 2003."

One should really wonder, why did he skip on Python, Perl and Ruby for all those years? Knowing that RoR appeared in 2004, and thinking that Coffeescript seems closer to Python

hi nice site, please consider having a table view that have the following columns: Book Title, Author, Publication Date (make the table sortable by any row)

And if I click the table row, it can expand to the long descriptions and cover shot you added to each book. What first at attracts me to a book is the title, author and how recent it is!

Greetings jrock, I think you are underestimating your own complexity, you seem to know a lot about lot.

And most people don't, does one really need to be that advanced to appreciate Perl? I hope not

about the voodoo, i only started using google years after googling became synonym for searching the web. i kept using yahoo because yahoo was good!

and when gmail first came and was invite only, it made me resent google even more, they felt snobish!

a long time later i started to like them and ironically, its gmail quality that made me a believer in google

google make most of their money from ads, only time will show how long will they go, not that it matters much, because i believe you dont have to be successful for ever, becoming no 10 after you were no 1 for 20 or so years is ....

well, we can talk about it, but they lived it!
