I would also like to know if there is an easier/better way to upgrade xcode / whatever libraries it needs when a new release arrives.
That mostly refers to startups that haven't yet launched and don't know if their idea will get any customers, as far as I understand. historious already has quite a few paying users, so I believe I'm right to be stubborn in thinking people want this enough to pay for it (because they have).
I'll have to remember this next time I'm foraging at Whole Foods.

Evolution probably hasn't given us a photographic memory, most likely, because doing so doesn't provide a benefit worth the expense. which is not the same as saying photographic memory would actually hurt us.
Drill baby drill!!!!!!
NUTS is also considered as one of the minor criticisms of the rigid Singapore education system, where students are taught from a young age to obey instructions in an unquestioning manner, in a society where grades and paper certification are emphasised at the expense of some life skills.

Singapore? That's India!
Here's a bit of a roundup of tech meetups around Sydney that I found a while ago. http://www.bhatt.id.au/blog/sydney-meetups-and-events-inform...

I just moved back to Sydney at the beginning of the year from Bristol in the UK and I have to say the Sydney community doesn't seem to have hit the same level of activity that the UK had which is a bit of a bugger.

If you live in Sydney you pretty much are obligated to have something to do with the harbour: sailing, surfing, living near it, watching the sunset over it from the Opera Bar. I live in Mosman so I get to travel to work in the city by ferry every day - I can certainly recommend it as a lovely way of starting and ending your day!
I didn't know that, but I'm using the windows executable (for f.lux) with wine and it's working so far...
Yeah, I agree with the "it works for you, but not me" because I am sure I have this too. I only realized it when I thought it was normal to take over an hour to fall asleep...when its clearly not.

Unfortunately, waking up at 11 is not an option, have a normal nine-fiver'er, and what I usually do is catch up on the weekend. I used to feel like a bum, waking up past noon during the weekends, but I have come to realize that is the only way I function. If I don't get my beauty sleep in the weekend, I get extremely tired the week after and I still can't fall asleep! So I am tired during the day and restless at night...its paintful, like an itch that won't go away and doesn't get relived by scratching.
As one of my friends put it, "Livin' the dream."
I would say some of these games have a very high turnover rate and relies on constant recruiting of new players.

With just regular players quitting and less options available for hooking new ones, the net total is that they are losing out.
I think No. Because the book can become part of your Marketing plan. More book will be wroten about your book, more people will discover your app
Definitely creepy.
For many years I've dealt with clients who were incredulous when I told them "no, we can't/won't just clone Yahoo/Facebook/etc" when a pixel-for-pixel copy was precisely what they wanted. There's an important creative and IP distinction between stealing concepts and cloning every aspect that some people just don't grok.
I guess I have to start looking towards outlets. I wonder if there is any other way to 'protect' yourself?
My rough criteria:

- does the language have some name recognition and positive reputation?

- is it still in use (even if only in very niche areas)?

- do you have a chance to use it to solve a problem (for work or for fun) to which the language is well suited?

If the answer to all three is yes then I would have no hesitation.
There is nothing special with these two dose regimens. It's just what was decided to try for the first studies.

3-4 weeks are quite short intervals for booster shots, picked because of the urgency of getting results, not because it's optimal from a medical standpoint.

> FDA, a collection of the leading doctors, scientists, and public health experts

FDA is primarily a regulatory bureaucracy, tasked with enforcing federal law in this area. The incentives it is under do not always align with optimizing public health.
Crowdfunding still works great for independent comics. "Hey I drew this thing and now I want to use KS/IG as a way to manage pre-orders" is a proven, solid part of an artist's revenue stream.

My general rule of thumb is to avoid hardware campaigns, and to be exceedingly dubious about any campaigns that are asking for enough money for a creator to live on while they make a thing unless they have a long track record of delivering.

And any campaign that meets a lot of stretch goals should probably be expected to take at least twice as long to deliver, if not more; sometimes I think it would be really worthwhile for Kickstarter to build active support for stretch goals into their platform, that trigger changes in the delivery date promised on the page when met, because "add four more levels and two playable characters to the scope of this video game" sure is gonna take some more time to build.

> they expected a strike on Iran

So they made us, the civilians, their meat shield, just as they used us to clean minefields in the Iraq war. And then they were so incompetent they shot their own meat shield. After that, they launched massive media campaigns to say the plane had not been shot, but had crashed out of a "technical glitch." Even after the evidence became undeniable, and they issued public apologies, they still continued with their media campaigns, saying this was all because of a US cyber attack. And they did not let people organize proper funerals, and they imprisoned, threatened, and fucked the survivors' families, and they used tear gas and just straight opened fire when people protested at their sheer malicious incompetence, and ...

And random assholes on the internet defend them while seemingly caring for the Iranian people. I don't know, perhaps you're one the of the thousands who directly or indirectly get money/status from the IR?
> it feels like the opposite should happen: Investors should be blocked from recovering losses and victims should be compensated

This kneecaps the investor-lawsuit mechanism by removing the incentive to discover and pursue problems.

Do we have precedent for employee lawsuits citing shareholder litigation to burnish their case?
The world’s largest corporation is happy to accept gratis open source labor, but they’re rather actively antagonistic to Free/Libre software (eg. trying to eradicate strong copyleft from macOS, not only shipping ancient bash, etc. but prohibiting third parties from shipping it through the App Store without mandatory DRM). The lackluster support for open source distributions is virtually certainly intentional. The other BSDs are the closest you’ll get.

My parents still have a No.2 Brownie. It's no longer in shape to actually take photos, but it was used for years and years by the grandparents in their travels. Lots of family history all around the world were recorded with them.

Three sort of related observations.

From what I remember, I socialized both with people I liked, and people I disliked, a lot more outside the high school building than inside during history class. During lectures and tests I usually zoned out and sometimes worked. She should be better off socially, as long as she doesn't sit on the couch and watch TV all day or whatever. (edited to clearly explain my opinion comes from kids "socializing" with kids results in little more than Lord of the Flies behavior, and hanging out in the real world instead of high school should be incredibly valuable to her)

Another observation is its highly culturally incorrect to say it, but she's missing out on the important work skill of just phoning it in and being patient while appearing to care. Sure, soon as the school bell rings, life can begin and she can boot up her computer. In the real world you're going to spend hours, maybe days, at diversity training and OSHA certs and PCI compliance and ISO9000 and the programming world for decades has been full of silver bullet dev fads that, much like the diet industry, mostly revolve around making the motivational speaker money rather than really "doing" anything. If they actually fixed anything they'd be out of a job, so you do the math there. And sometimes you'll simply have a boring pointless job, that's life. So this is the major malfunction of the plan.

For a couple centuries teens have been famous for doing crazy things, she'll probably turn out just fine even if everything does crash and burn. Its not like she's got 3 little kids and a spouse and mortgage and medical issues and elderly parents relying on her. A good way to learn how to survive and bounce back from failure, and how to avoid failure, is to fail, so weird as it sounds I hope for her future's sake she totally crashes and burns like only a teen can (metaphorically) ... she's young enough to stand back up, get dusted off and patched up (with a little parental help, probably), and learn how NOT to crash and burn when it really counts, later in life, when there's absolutely no one to rely on. Or the short version of the above is she's a teen, doing teen stuff, just like she's supposed to, at least in my opinion as old man parent.
Congrats on the successful launch.

As a developer, my initial gut reaction is "damn biz guys devaluing what I do".

But creating a product or business requires far more than simply having technical skills (or essentially none in your case, as all the technical components were outsourced) and proving a market exists and figuring out how to satisfy that market are an incredibly important part of building something that is more than just a bit of tech.
Faster internet makes building a grocery-sized cart online a lot easier today than it was 15 years ago. Add to this that the majority of cellphones in 2000 were mere phone/SMS devices, making it hard for shoppers to even get the lists they need to buy. Without GPS tracking on shoppers, it'd be much harder to estimate when the delivery would arrive. On top of all the actual technical benefits, everything has gotten easier/smoother/faster overall as aesthetics and UI have improved over the past 15 years.

That's nice, but Google needs to get SeaBIOS support back in it's current gen Chromebooks (Bay Trail), just like it was in the previous gen (Haswell).
I think there's a huge opening for a talented new author to revisit cyberpunk as seen through the lens of what's actually happened since Neuromancer was published, then project that new understanding forward into the next near future. So much of what the early genre saw has come true in a way (or feels like it's about to), I think it might be useful to clean out what it didn't get right, or revisit how things have changed (the rise of China, advances in computing, etc.) and set those wheels in motion.

I think of cyberpunk, and an awareness of what it talks about as more of a tool for understanding the changing world, in a similar way that 1984 helps provide mental tools for understanding the world.
I'm tempted to do something like that. One thing you should be wary of is not leaving anything that can be taken off easily. If they don't take the bike, they might steal your lights or something small instead. Make sure that easily removable items are not left on the bike.

You can upgrade to OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard (10.6.8), Lion (10.7), or Mountain Lion (10.8). (for free)

https://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/

If you only had Leopard you had to spend $20 to get Snow Leopard first before getting the update to Mavericks.

Edit: I should say that not all Snow Leopard machines can be upgrade to Mavericks, a bunch of the 2006 models can't.
Fed doesn't have authority to regulate jack. Fed is a private organization, set up by banks in the '30s to self-regulate themselves, presumably to stave off the government descending on this industry and regulating it to the ground. I still don't understand why they weren't disbanded in 2008.
Not only that, you are comparing your 'behind the scenes' to the comulative showreel.
Here's the story of real people that were cut off from the outside world for 40 years:

I can second the police thing. My personal experience, as a German born Germanoid of the most German kind is that interactions with the police here are just horrible. I get selected "randomly" at every traffic stop because of my long hair, but all the short-haired people I know get pulled over maybe once in ten years.

The black thing, however, does not represent all of Germany. There are real regional differences here, mostly an east-west divide. (Not that it couldn't happen everywhere. Assholes are omnipresent, but the density varies.)

Also, younger people tend to be a lot more cosmopolitan and relaxed around fellow dwellers with "non-standard" appearance.

Edit: Another thing regarding the Bahnhof incident: The DB stormtroopers are "special" in the sense that I am actually scared of these people. Where do they even get that kind of hooligan? The regular police listens to reason and treats you with a modicum of respect, but these DB goons are basically bouncers in uniform.
Apparently libinput is what is going to handle Wayland input and the X team is already moving to add it as an input option to x11 to ease the transition.
To be fair, Wayland seems similarly hopeful about shipping in Fedora 23, which is only 4 months before Ubuntu 16.04. Also, Canonical has a big incentive to ship Mir in 16.04, since it's a long term support release. If they don't make it, they'll be forced to support X for an extra 5 years.

I think both projects have equally "hopeful" (slim) chances of hitting their dates. If they do ship on time, I expect stability and features to suffer.
To paraphrase Twain, many classics are books people want to have had read.
I think you might be missing the point.I'm not sure why you think that Gruber says or condones saying ["We pioneered that - how dare they!"]

Gruber explicitly says that it is fair for Google to compete with Apple and to copy the iPhone. He is making the point that it is reasonable for Apple to compete with Google (in ads).

Here is the excerpt

>>It wasn’t unfair for Google to decide to compete directly against and copy ideas from the iPhone. That’s competition. It may be angering to Apple, but it’s not out of bounds.

>>What’s goofy is the idea that Google would do this — to aggressively change Android from a BlackBerry/Windows Mobile competitor into an iPhone competitor — and that anyone would expect Apple not to retaliate, to instead just sit there and take it and allow all other aspects of their previous buddy-buddy corporate relationship with Google to continue as though nothing had changed.
Did anyone else get a headache after staring at the images?
Also, one has to remember that Google doesn't make the phones, the device manufacturers do.
These are in turn under pressure from the operators/carriers to come out with designs that consumers like. It's not like Google can decide exactly what the phones will look like.
I don't think that the sentiment was that no one should copy it, but rather that, by copying it, Apple will see them as a legitimate target.
Think I'll be coming along

After a bit of further thought, I realized that the triangular sectors aren't equilateral after just one iteration. The angles at the equator are 90°, and the polar angles are 180°/n - works when n=4. But then the four nested ones will be 3x(90° 60° 60°) and one equilateral, and so no longer identical (and probably not of equal areas).

For area-equality, shape-inequality, a recursive three-division becomes also worthy of consideration.
I think his comment about the iPhone is highly appropriate in this case; while it's generally got good user experience design, there are definitely cases where the UI is built in a way that will frustrate users. Two examples come to mind from back when I still used my iPhone:

1. Undo. Who is ever going to discover this on their own? Every action you can perform on your iPhone (With the exceptions of volume adjustment, going to the home screen, and locking the screen) is done by interacting with the screen. The undo gesture is not only hard to discover by accident, but it's very context-sensitive, which means if you do it by accident, it may not do anything at all. This is basically the complete opposite of discoverability. His 'skill atoms' example should demonstrate why this is problematic - if you want the user to develop a skill on their own, it should be easy for them to discover the verb to trigger the action (press a button, tap an interesting thing) and easy to understand the results.

2. The home button. While it's convenient and useful, in many cases I would find that an application would discard my changes if I hit home to dismiss it, instead of saving them. The most common case where I ran into this was the alarm application: I'd create a new alarm, go into the subview to set up the alarm, and then hit home to dismiss it instead of hitting the little back button they shoved in the corner... and it would throw out my new alarm. While the home button is a good affordance, it is destructive - by using it incorrectly, the end-user may or may not lose work, which makes them wary of experimenting. (It's my understanding that Android has a similar issue, but I've yet to use an Android phone).

I could also harp on how the lack of multitasking increases the penalty for end-user mistakes, but people have already beaten that dead horse.

Just to be fair, here's a similar example from the Palm Pre:

In most Pre applications, to delete an object, you simply pop up the dialog to edit it, and hit a trashcan icon. Simple. However... in a few specific cases, somebody on their UX team decided it would be brilliant to require the use of a gesture to delete. There are zero on-screen cues to suggest that it's possible to perform this gesture, or that the gesture will do anything - so the uninitiated user will simply think 'how do I delete this?' and get frustrated (or, hopefully, look it up on Google). In these specific cases, you have to drag to the left or the right on top of the object you wish to delete, which magically reveals a hidden pair of buttons under the object: Delete and Cancel. Only then can you delete. Even worse, it's possible to botch the gesture - if you don't drag far enough, the phone ignores your gesture. Compared to the majority of the Pre's UI (which is light on punishment and encourages exploration), this is a huge design failure.
This really seems like the Right Way(tm) to approach this because it acknowledges that the google isn't attempting to be an authoritative source for what's really a subjective truth, and it presents the "most true" version of reality based on where you're coming from. And has the added benefit, one imagines, of being even more infuriating to those trying to push their One True Truth down everyone else's throats.

>Falun Mine (Swedish: Falu Gruva) was a mine in Falun, Sweden, that operated for a millennium from the 10th century to 1992. It produced as much as two thirds of Europe's copper needs and helped fund many of Sweden's wars in the 17th century.

> From a "change from the inside" perspective, Apple can make more of a positive difference in pushing forward their agenda for countries like Russia, by staying in the Russian market, complying with a few government demands

How did that work in China?

More to the point, companies are not nations or governments. Having agendas for countries is not their place.

>The grass always seems greener on the other side.

Everyone should memorize this adage. Sometimes making a change is the right decision of course. But I've also known a lot of people over the years who just got an itch to make a change because of some relatively minor gripes. And things did not work out as hoped.

Academia in particular is easy to idealize based on successful tenured professors at top tier universities who seem to have a pretty good life.
15 years ago, a classmate of mine went into security and had a similar state soon after. He decided that the entire industry was either snake-oil, or installing a 3rd deadbolt on the front door to a house with open windows.

He quit the security field, became a DBA, and moved to be close to his family in the midwest, collecting a an annual paycheck roughly equal to the cost of a 4BR house there.
Well you ruined your street in streetview, and diminished the usefulness of the product for everybody else. Of course it is your choice.

Would you feel the same if streetview was a government project? Sure, google is a company, probably they'll get something out of it. But then again, they created this really cool utility and document for people - and you spoiled it.
It may be a fool's errand but that's the way Apple is going. And I do not see them having any lack of market success with their approach.

I don't think it's really a matter of desktops becoming like mobile devices. I think it's "desktops as we know them will be going away (except in specific use cases)".

My wife's Macbook has seen better days. When it finally dies, we're going to replace it with an iPad, a bluetooth or docked keyboard and a camera connection kit. It does everything she needs. I imagine this will be the same when my kids get old enough.

And why is ARM a bad choice? Have you heard about performance complaints from iPad users? Have you seen Rage HD on iOS yet?
