tcc619··on Mozilla borrows from WebKit to build fast new JS engine
the two JS engines don't do the same thing.

Mozilla will continue to use the tracing engine to JIT loops. It will fallback to the webkit js engine when the tracing JIT can't be used.

Stories like this makes me appreciate open source. Combine the best components for everyone's benefit.
tcc619··on Ask HN: Fastest way to make $300-400 a month online?
Get paid for doing open source code. It'll give you good karma and internet points. Definitely give you the 400 a month you need.

We just started our open source task site but there are two notable tasks for the languages you listed: Fix Audio Sync against Video in live555.cpp, $500 http://nextsprocket.com/tasks/fix-audio-sync-against-video-i...

Nokogiri pure-Java version for JRuby, >$600 http://nextsprocket.com/tasks/nokogiri-pure-java-version-for...

the nokogiri problem's been around and people are dying for a good solution!

tcc619··on Poll: Which HN-community app will you vote for in PayPal's $50,000 contest?
Mixcloud's design looks really great.

From I what i could tell, it's about listening to music online. Where does the paypal payments factor in?

+1 for nginx/passenger/REE combo. Same stack I've been running all my ruby apps on.
tcc619··on Ask HN: Review my startup: Next Sprocket - Developer's Marketplace
thanks for the feedback!

The site is intended to cater to two types: Task Creator: a developer who comes across a bug, missing feature in an open source project. this developer posts the task on nextsprocket for a small reward amount.

Task Solver: Anyone can come along, see the task, submit the patch to the OS project and submit it as a solution on nextsprocket. The task creator will select the correct solution. Or reject with a note like "it didn't satisfy this test case"

it's different from the crowdspring/99designs model because every developer can benefit from solution because the tasks are for open source projects.

tcc619··on "Design Patterns are the disease, Clojure is the cure..."
"but a minus because there can't be any independent Clojure port"
