don't want to downvote you for the post.
but is insane to compare a browser toy-like scripting when it comes to gaming tech.
and i think I am being soft for using just the word "insane"

If you're reading these lines it's because of this man. He's Dave Winer, the inventor of blogs and RSS syndication, two of the backbones of the web. Often controversial, always challenging, this is the story of what got him inspired to do it all. From that point on, no one questioned the power of an individual with a net connection and a scripting language.

I always thought of John Carmack as the first "blog" I followed back when he did .plan updates. It drove me nuts when "blogging" was treated like some great, new idea. Wow, people putting stuff they want to say on the internet, what a revolution.
Look at me still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you

Marissa Mayer, one of the top executives at Google, will be the next C.E.O. of Yahoo, making her one of the most prominent women in Silicon Valley and corporate America. The appointment of Ms. Mayer, who was employee No. 20 at Google and was one of the few public faces of the company, is considered a surprising coup for Yahoo, which has struggled in recent years to attract top flight talent in its battle with competitors like Google and Facebook. Out of the search engine and into the... um, what does Yahoo do these days?

However unlikely it may seem, Microsoft just announced two new versions of Office, and the new builds aren’t pieces of inscrutable, soul-killing bloatware per the company’s productivity suite tradition. Believe it or not, Microsoft has finally made Office borderline cool. Facing competition from Google Drive and Apple’s iWork/iCloud integration, Microsoft is stepping up its game, making real strides in an Office suite that everyone uses, but no one really enjoys. An inside look at the new Office 13 and Office 365.

Ever since the first beta editions of Windows 8 appeared, rumors have circulated over how Microsoft would revamp its other flagship consumer product, Office, to be all the more useful in the new OS. Would Office become touch-oriented and Metro-centric, to the exclusion of plain old Windows users? Now Microsoft has whipped the drapes off the preview edition of Office 2013, providing the short answer to the above question: no. Cloudy with a chance of spreadsheets.

I switch between programming languages quite a bit; I often wondered what happens when having to deal with the different syntaxes, does the syntax allow you to be more expressive or faster at coding in one language or another. I don't really know about that; but what I do know what keys are pressed when writing with different programming languages. Let me guess: Lisp uses a lot of parentheses.

VB uses lots of 'backspaces'.

Ctrl, C and V for most of them, I suppose

Hard to say what to make of it. What would be more interesting is how many keys for the same functionality, or course I guess that would depend of the functionality desired.

Regardless of the language, a top contender of mine would be: CTRL+S.
I'm surprised C++ didn't have more "*"/"&".

for Java according to my keyboard:
A, S and the left Control button.

It’s never good to scare away your customers. It’s even worse if you don’t realize you’re doing it. That was me. Turned out I’d been snared by IE’s SmartScreen filter. That’s an expensive bug.

That's one of the reasons why software testing pays for itself. A developer is concerned with getting the functionality, the tester with making sure it works. Of course also a good idea to have some sort of spec to test against, of course the testers should be developing a test plan so they will know what to test.

I've heard many folks say that HTML is primarily for presentation and not for conveying information, and hence it isn't suitable for API use. Hogwash, I say! There are many web experts (like Kimberly Blessing) who would insist that markup is exactly for conveying semantics and that presentation should be a CSS concern. People seem to forget that web sites actually worked before CSS or Javascript was invented! I rely on this heavily for my HTML APIs. Semantic APIs built on a semantic web.
