Um... Incoming Naive Questions. Why do we need yet another HTML5 Parser?
What's wrong with Webkit?
What's wrong with the new Gecko2 HTML5 parser? And what license is it?

Memory Improvement?
Performance Improvement?
Code Base Reduction?
Binary Size Reduction? Or it will be so small that doesn't matter?

How about something like pjaxr? https://github.com/minddust/jquery-pjaxr

Why not VLC? I suppose mplayer and its forks are good for cross platform. On Windows, and if you ask me, the best experience i have now is MPC-BE. Which is based on MPC-HC, which is based on MPC.

Yes. And I must say OMG, i thought proper journalism was dead! Nice to see it is still alive somewhere.

Why didn't this get pushed to Front Page is beyond me.

Something new? This is like Old news is so exciting. And I thought there was a legal battle on going on about the usage of Courgette.

As a General Reminder, those so called Infringed Patents ( Whether they are FRAND or not ) are being sold to Apple as an Finished Product.

Great Now they can accelerate their long list of needed improvement. 1. Private Back End Network.
2. Auto Provision Droplet/Instance on different hardware by default
3. IPv6
4. DC in Asia
5. Some…

1. Choice of Node, DO has both US and EU location.
2. Scalable, Instantly Scale up to 96GB of Memory.
3. API - Dont think any of those VPS has those.
4. Hourly Billing. And would you trust your hostin…

Great perspective. Any more to share on your view how will POWER changes, i still dont see it goes anywhere apart from HPC. And being solely used in HPC just isn't a variable long term strategy.

Too little too late?
I dont get it. Intel has been iterating x86 at insane speed. In the high performance side Intel has finally caught on and eclipse Power.
While Intel x86 has been winning the perf…

I copy this comment from AllthingsD, 90% of these hated comments are by either Obama haters or Apple haters. The patent is around basic CDMA functionality. If the ruling was enforced, basically only S…

If you really want to know you should go deeper down the rabbit hole. Other then that I can say nothing more.

Apple instead making gimped software or drivers for other platform? What ?? "X" instead DO not even make software or drivers for other platform ( Mac and Linux ), what do you consider those …

I hope this approach wins instead of asm.js

I am sorry if this comment spark off any other pointless debate and argument or offended any Apple Fan boys or Samsung Fan boys. But the truth is, pretty much every company does this.. except Apple. A…

Or Something like Adzerk?

On Related Note; Any news for OpenMP with LLVM?
comment
The Problem is Piwik doesn't scale. Even if you set it up to the way they said. The problem is there isn't a single viable GA alternative out there that doesn't cost a fortune. Clicky a…
comment
Has G4 been actually deployed? And it seems some Gen4 will get Ivy Bridge 8 Core Xeon E5, 256GB Ram and Intel SC3700 SSD? And why only 10Gbps Per Server, surely you could fit one more Solarflare in? O…

I wish HN would mandate all submission to have [years] behind it. This is from 2010! Github was invested $100M as many would have known.
Asmallorange has been sold to Endurance Group.

I think the Calculation for Screen Size were off. ( Unless I am Wrong )
Assuming no changes in Resolution Scale to iPhone 5, a Display that is 5.86cm Width would be 4.7" Diagonal. Which incidenta…

Outage? Or Maintenance?
These are two different things.
comment
I think is it has more to do with Human Interaction, or working as Remote. When I dont see your face, listen to you directly, It is rather hard to understand the importance of something.
Especially w…

You should compared to OVH in Canada instead. The Price are roughly the same when you take into account Hetzners 99EUR Setup fees. OVH also gets you a very decent Anti-DDOS for free. No more shutting …
comment
Ok, i am going to ask, any reason to go with Hetzner when your have OVH's DC in Canada offering similar if not better Server for more or less the same price?
comment
To be honest I dont blame too much on Microsoft.
Being a business they needed to survive. It is not like they have a choice and government could very well bring another antitrust trial. Microsoft ref…
