   Google hates anything that requires a human's touch, and per the article: > Lately, the administrative load has consisted almost exclusively of abuse management. They see Google Code as a time-sink, and they're probably right, and it's not surprising to me that they'd drop something that is no longer serving it's intended purpose, but instead has negative implications for their model. Keeping it going forward would…

   I do wish companies that abandon projects would OSS them more often though. Agreed. But to their credit, Google have some history of open-sourcing things[1][2][3][4], so maybe there's a chance that this product will be released as well. At least one can hope...

   Google Code is shutting down this year[1], so the Vim-dev mailing list discussed migration[2]. GitHub is the most popular host for open source projects, and Google Code has an export tool for it[3], so the switch makes a lot of sense. That said, Vim's development method is rather conservative. Vim was created in 1988, but source control wasn't used until 2004 and Bram is the only one with write access. There are no…

    This looks like it could be of assistance: http://source.android.com/source/version-control.html Repo is a repository management tool that we built on top of Git. Repo unifies the many Git repositories when necessary, does the uploads to our revision control system, and automates parts of the Android development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git in the context of And…

    How does this relate to Google's funding of ogg/theora for mobile codecs? http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/04/interesting-ti... Given that theora is based on On2's VP3, could there be enough similarity in the codecs that the theora DSP code is useful for quickly getting VP8 going?

    There's absolutely zero evidence for your assertion that Google is "moving away" from Java for Android development. Java is still the only official route for creating Android app (I haven't looked at the NDK, but I am under the impression it requires at least a little Java for glue code.. I could be wrong there). However, the possibility for creating Android apps in other languages is not new. For example, the Andro…

    > also, since you're into JITs, you might enjoy his "a brief history of Just-in-time" Indeed, I've bookmarked it, thanks! I couldn't find the other paper you mentioned about fiddling with compiler output; would be very interested in seeing that. LuaJIT2 was the first interpreter and JIT that I ever studied deeply, so while I am very impressed by it, I don't have a great understanding of how it differs from previous…

    Agreed re: the quality of Frank McSherry's posts - they're all great fun and push the technical envelope! I'm glad you brought up Hilbert ordering. It's fascinating but I rarely see it. I usually see Z-order curves in their place - simpler and more intuitive but also less effective. Does anyone know of large scale databases with Hilbert ordering out of the box? For anyone who hasn't seen them before, or why they hel…
