As much as I'd like to browse the depths of the Amazon from Google Maps, we still don't have Street View in Buenos Aires. Google please fix this!

Love it. Great design.

Some thoughts:

- I tried to drag some tasks from "today" to "tomorrow" and couldn't. Ended up marking a task as done instead.

- The animation when you click the arrows is a little confusing and hard to follow.

This is great news.

While we're at it, what web framework are you guys using in your Scala webapps? Lift? Wicket? Play?

Same happens to me. I'm running Google Chrome 12.0.712.0 dev on Linux, Flash Player version 10.3.162.29.

Can I ask you specifically what kind of problems you ran into when you tried Wicket?

Comment · 15 years ago

I just tried the following:

  $ pacman -Ss ^opera

and got this:

  community/opera 11.01-1
      A fast and secure web browser and Internet suite.

Is that what you wanted to do?

The first thing that comes to my mind when I see an opportunity to integrate a Facebook login button with a website is how to attract traffic from Facebook.

One of the most effective ways is publishing updates to the user's wall. However in this case it's tricky. You don't want everyone to know that you'll be notified when Pamela is single.

GWT for client side code + Wicket for server generated markup / stateful pages + Google Guice + Hibernate (or MyBatis if you prefer a more low level but simpler API) + PostgreSQL. This does everything I need.

All the modern Java tooling goodness minus the J2EE nonsense.

It would be great if Jobspice (YC S09) had an option to import your personal information, work experience and education from your Linkedin profile.

Something that constantly annoys me at work is not being able to debug dynamically loaded Javascript code (i.e. JS code returned by an ajax query, then evaluated with eval()). I know this probably reflects bad design, but unfortunately it's not up to me.

I think it would be nice to have debugging support for JS code in those cases when it's evaluated from a string instead of loaded using a <script> tag.

Another nice, little PHP framework is GluePHP (http://gluephp.com).

Hello World using GluePHP:

  <?php
      require_once('glue.php');

      $urls = array(
          '/' => 'index'
      );

      class index {
          function GET() {
              echo "Hello, World!";
          }
      }

      glue::stick($urls);
  ?>

Another example with parameter matching and POST method handling:

  <?php
      require_once('glue.php');

      $urls = array(
          '/' => 'index',
          '/(?P<number>\d+)' => 'index'
      );

      class index {
          function GET($matches) {
              if (array_key_exists('number', $matches)) {
                  echo "The magic number is: " . $matches['number'];
              } else {
                  echo "You did not enter a number.";
              }
          }
          function POST() {
              echo 'The value you entered was ' . $_POST['textbox1'];
          }
      }

      glue::stick($urls);
  ?>

Agreed.

At this point, I think using JDO on App Engine only makes sense if you're porting an existing JDO application to App Engine.

If you're starting from scratch, Objectify is the way to go.
