comment Benchmarks: How much faster are Adobe Air Android apps than webgl on Android in performance and how much slower it is from Native Apps
It was probably closed because the question isnt answerable. Such comparisons depend on a number a factors, such as what exactly is being done in your program and what specifc devices you're talking about. And of course, the person doing the coding. Your best bet is to write a prototype in both and see for yourself.

comment Web hosting deciding to pay for hosting or host your own?
imo, if you are posting a question like this you should provide the server specs you require to allow people to provide answers more suited to your specific situation.

comment Is it a bad idea to sync file system with remote server using HTTP?
Based on what you describe, it sounds a lot like OwnCloud, which uses http.

comment Which technologies to create web interface for scientific instrument?
If you are connecting to it via a browser, yes, its a web application. There's probably a good question here, but you should pick a single, answerable question to focus on.

comment Will working in IT limit your career prospects as a programmer?
IMO, thinking of yourself as a C++ programmer or a SQL programmer or any other language specific programmer is far more limiting in the long run than working in 'IT'

comment What is a Developer in Test?
I'm sure thats the title the recruiter has for the opening.. my suspicion is he just doesnt know enough to know that it might not be the correct job title. Or it could just be how the particular company refers to a particular title, because they're too lazy to add the ending -ing.

comment Migrating web app from php to Java
Their request is stupid on several levels. Not the least being that web development w/ java is fairly different from 'native' app development on android. Android has its own distinct api that you need to get familiar with. Making a web app in java isnt helping you there. Learning Java's syntax is hardly the important part. They should have just asked you to make a simple android app in 3 weeks - far more realistic, and relevant.

comment What is a Developer in Test?
Are you sure he didnt mean 'Testing'? Never heard the term 'developer in test'. Could it be the recruiter just has his terminology wrong? Wouldnt be the first time.

comment Why is it so hard to get employees to update the issue tracker?
imo, most of the 'issue trackers' I've seen suck pretty bad - the ui's end up too cumbersome (so they can handle special cases). So if you were to ask me why I dont use them, thats why.

comment Dynamic server side form validation
If the validation 'spec' is in the html, thats only inspected and rendered on the client (in the browser). If you are relying on that info being passed back to the server so it knows what to validate, you are vulnerable to that being faked on the client.

comment Dynamic server side form validation
If you are putting the validation spec in the html via the class attribute, you essentially have client side validation, even if that info is being passed back and processed on the server.

comment Why OTServs have an item cloning problem if the server crashes?
Why is the server crashing in the first place? Why isnt there any redundancy? When items are created, why arent they tracked with a unique id? I suspect the problem here isnt storage, its the overall design of the system.

comment Why use a database instead of just saving your data to disk?
+1, I think its important that you pointed out there's times when files actually are suitable for storage.
