I understand your point. I use a text editor usually, but lately I've used Eclipse with java for a fairly big project (with a team and svn ecc).
And it seems to me that for the way web application are moving toward client-side, the bulk of the code will be on javascript in the future or a greater chunk of it.
What I liked about Eclipse&java is of course code completion (for the logWordsJavaUsesForClassesAndPackage) but most of all the order it brings to all of that comlpexity (classes, packages, enums, the use of different patterns ecc).
if think the more we go toward a complexification (does it exists in english ;P) of javascript projects, the more we are going to need something that bring order in the chaos.
Otherwise we will be a bit overwhelmed by the code of a language not born to do what we are using it for today.
Business lives in a community of people , a State. We, as the People, can decide the rules.
Economy has no rules outside the square we create. So, there's no such thing as Economy per se.
You have to remember that the reason a group of people doesn't go out and take what they want is that there is a State, there are laws, there is a monopoly of legitimate force (the police): all of this can survive only if there is a contract between state and the people. All the people, not just the rich or who has a job or <put a category here>
I'm guessing you are from a part of the world that is/was recently totalitarian.
The community of people is far, far more than the State. Cultural/religious norms shape the State and the rules. If corruption is tolerated, for example, it doesn't matter what the official State rules are.
Furthermore, economics are baked in to human nature. Indeed, gender differences are a kind of specialization of labor. Economic activity and surplus allows the creation of the State, not the other way around. In fact, while certain State activities like protecting property rights advances the Economy, most activity by the State is parasitic on the Economy.
if you think economy lives outside a state, you are not paying attention to the number of laws you have to respect. And, by the way, there is no economy without States.
Well, if you think fishing and hunting are economy, go with that.
Your last statement goes against basically all of human history. Economy is the exchange of value (i.e. trade). Trade has always existed, and for nearly all of human history, it existed outside of the state (since there were no states). Even during the age when states began to form, loads of trade took place outside the state's borders (i.e. likely as much trade took place on the silk road as it did at each terminus).
States can certainly make trade easier and safer (though it doesn't always do so), but to say trade cannot exist without the state is simply wrong.
Value creation is bullshit. You create job when
a. you need a service
b. you can't do it with the resource you have
c. you can't automate with a machine
d. you can afford hiring someone
d. the income you generate can support it
Value does not exists per se.
You are so simplicistic here, guys, when you talk about rich and poor.
I know you are not so young, but sometimes it seems you are a group of small kids talking about life.
That's the OPPOSITE of the beginner's mind. And the beginner's mind is the zen way.
Jobs didn't see his choice just because was the only one: it is that the other people had already discarded that option because they were "expert player"
And by the way, zen is not about knowledge is about leaving the words to the dogs to eat and being in touch with the present time.
I think people should use software like oracle and look and read (some of) its enormous amount of documentation to understand what it can do BEFORE saying it is shit.
Oracle is a very very very good database. Stop with this non sense
I wasn't thinking about Oracle-the-database but all the other stuff they sell that makes huge, faceless corporations go. No YC-style company is in a position to take on Oracle toe-to-toe, in the lapdance-and-BJ market. The only option is some sort of incremental disruption where a product takes market share from Oracle at the low end, where Oracle is probably happy to see these not-very-valuable customers desert them. (This is straight from Clayton Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma.)
And for the record, I programmed against Oracle using oraperl back in 1994.
I'm sure some parts of Oracle's database are very good. The part I work with (OLAP), though, is ludicrously bad. New bugs are introduced with almost every database patch, and the behavior of existing functions have changed without notice. For this privilege, Oracle charges license fees by the core.
