Via Adam, Advogato: Why Sun is right that Java sucks
Lots of neat stuff in the article and ensuing comments. There was some red herring discussion of garbage collection, but a link to a very good presentation by Hans Boehm (PS) came out of it.
Via sweetcode, check out Rotisserie:
The Rotisserie implements an innovative approach to online discussion that encourages measured, thoughtful discourse in a way that traditional threaded messaging systems cannot.
The timing of the discussion is broken into semi-synchronous rounds. Users are allowed to post responses at any time, but their responses are not published to other users until the deadline for the current round passes. This structure allows users to put significant thought into their responses rather than competing with other participants to post first.
Sounds like Joel might be interested in this.
