Redundant functionality to JavaScript is redundant. That being said I'm all for designers having baby steps they can use to simulate some of the functionality of JavaScript. After all the days of the one line of JavaScript that does that cool effect are over now that you aren't cool if you don't use prototypes and 'modules.' JavaScript is getting to the point where if you don't use at least 3 libraries to make your onclick event handler you get publicly lambast.
Also who says you need to copy the color every time you use it?
This is how it works. If you have one important property that you want to change everywhere then you use the most specific target class necessary for each of those classes in a comma separated list attached to only that property then you can change them all later or add new classes to them.
He never mentions how much money he's will to pay to 'get stuff done.' In fact it sounds like he's not willing to pay anything other than satisfaction. I don't have these mommy and daddy issues anymore.
Sincerely,
The guy who's work ethic is directly proportional to how much money you throw at me.
Do they get paid more if the company does better? Yes, this is the only reason to do more than asked from your job description. Otherwise you are putting money and decision making power into the hands of people who did not earn it. Only bad things come from uncompensated work; A bitter employee, angry co-workers, and a misunderstanding of where profit is coming from by the business analysts can ultimately hurt business. If someone is making the company more successful pay them more otherwise tell them to slow down. If you are of the later mindset then YOU are not benefiting the company.
The guy who wrote this article sounds like the kind of person who wants to get everyone to do his work for him. His personal problems are leaking into his work life. He probably needs a vacation or to change lines of work. He's not a joker, he's a bitter old bastard (regardless of his age).
Advice for the inexperienced doer: Don't listen to this guy. Pace yourself. Do what you need to and make time for yourself. This guy wants to smoke a cigar in his office while you kill yourself. This is his attempt at being 'the boss man' and it's transparent. You will never be happy making people like this happy. If this kind of verbal abuse makes you feel bad then seek therapy don't work late every night. Stand up for yourself.
This is backwards. It should be JavaScript syntax driving the JVM. Because Scala and Groovy are way to small for anyone to care, but the JVM is an awesome way for people to write play-anywhere applications. Java is one of those languages that could have been dynamically typed from the beginning, but they chose to force us to be static to be academic (or something...). People can do a lot more in JavaScript than in Java FASTER. Make a version of JavaScript that drives the JVM and you win. Perhaps you can even use one of the current ECMA Standards. They probably already have some 'make window' syntax defined somewhere.
If this project already exists please let me know. I have tons of uses for it. Thanks.
Semantic language has it's limits and rightfully so. The point of communication (sometimes) is to add something new. New things by definition have no pre-defined category. Therefore some content can only be described by inventing something. It's a moving target. I guess some attempt is a good thing like having a <title> tag, but it will never be perfect and if some day it is perfect then we are a dead species. I sincerely hope that most data continues to defy description.
I got a nose job and now I can't breath as well. Of course there was a risk, but if I would have known it would be this bad I never would have done it. The doctor did everything he could to reassure this wouldn't happen before the operation. Now I am having a very difficult time figuring out what if anything I can do medically and legally. My life is very different.
Doctors should not get anonymity. Their job is too crucial. I'm not dead, but my life will never be the same. Anything that could have changed that would have made a huge difference in my life.
Also, if you're wondering the doctor was in Beverly Hills and fairly famous. This was no back alley procedure. At the moment I really feel like my whole world collapsed and with the way we treat doctors I feel like no one is on my side.
Exactly. It would be nice if someday someone realized a language shouldn't be constantly trying to teach the programmer something about computers. The best language would do as much of the work as possible by having a default for everything and by assuming as much as can be assumed. The point is not to reaffirm over and over what a variable is and how it is stored. We should learn that once in a text book and then get some work done. If you are designing programming languages for a living then maybe you should be concerned with that. This is called division of labor.
The reason I never used Java is that every time I tried to learn it I would get type errors. So in order for my programs to work I needed to constantly define what type things were. The other big problem I had was whenever I tried to follow examples they didn't work because there is an arcane system of importing libraries or knowing some long function name. The language doesn't seem to have any universal functions. You have to import everything. If this changes any of that then I might use it. I really like the idea of programs being able to run on any operating system. Oh one more thing is the eclipse IDE seems to have so many different set ups and ways to download it how can you know which is the right one?
People can't even agree on one programming language even though they all manipulate the same bits. Now we have a monitor.txt. So you are telling me that the site simply existing and being up is not enough to satisfy it's state of being up? Keep making extra crap people and you dig your own hole.
This is almost an insult to Apple. I read it as "Siri is so much not a threat that all the praise in the world will not help it." I also tend to agree. If you talk to your phone then you want it to talk back. Currently you input voice and then get back visual results. If you are in a voice only situation then you want to keep it in that context. If If I have the bandwidth to look at a screen and interface then I have the bandwidth to input a more specific search in the first place. Siri is a toy and Google is giving them lip service.
