I don't see a place to report bugs about the Google Code site, so I'm forced to comment on it here:
All Google Code pages contain an infinite Javascript loop that eats up CPU cycles (about 4-10% on a Pentium M 1.7Ghz) even when idle. This degrades overall system performance and I can't leave any Google Code page open in my browser.
This has been a problem since November, when the new CMS was rolled out.
Thanks, Alex. That's a known issue caused by a polling technique (well, a hack) that we use to support the back-button for certain AJAX requests on some browsers. We have an improvement in the works that should mitigate the CPU hit.
ok this may not relate at all, but i was wondering if google maps can make it easier to enter a 'bee-storm' of pushpins. i'm searching for real estate and have a HUGE long list.mapquest beta now lets you enter in 10 addresses to get most efficient trip. i just want to enter in hundreds of pushpins and i'll figure out the best trip from there. they currently are in excel but i can take that into word and remove table, & use commas to separate address, city, state, zip i am not a fast typist. so after entering about 6 or 7 and tagging info to each and timing it....it was WAY too much time.so i quit and tried mapquest beta.better, but not so good.
As interesting and cool as this is, surely someone at Google recognizes that all of this work, creativity, and energy was spent BECAUSE he had to hack around the language policy.
Is it possible to have a transcript of this interview, please ?
ReplyDeleteAnd mp3 version, please?
ReplyDeleteI hate podcasts that think they are upgrading from Audio to Video. Pick a format and stick to it!
ReplyDeleteSeconded - please please revert to audio.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to switch to video do what some other podcasts have done and include an MP3 version (see Diggnation, DL.TV, ect.)
ReplyDeleteDrop the suffix "Rails". You could get sued.
ReplyDeleteGrails used to be called "Groovy on Rails" until the founder of Rails complained to the founder of Grails.

ReplyDeleteyou should check helma
ReplyDeletehttp://dev.helma.org/ seems close to what you are trying to achieve and definitely a project worth google endorsement
