Hmmmm. I'm wondering will this run on Mono?

Are you sure the base model for the 13 inches had 4gb by default? I remember looking at it last week and it had only 2gb.
As you note, it's fit for the purpose, that's good enough for me. The cloud is where this sort of action is today.

Much better than Intel's experimental "cloud" processor chip, the one with 48 non-cache coherent IA32 cores. Not quite a marketecture like Netburst (P4), but quite bogus.
If it's been less than fourteen days, you can return it and only pay a restocking fee to upgrade.
Lucene and Solr development merged
It means Dubai is an even bigger tax haven than Switzerland (Federer is Swiss). That's impressive.

Maybe they are trying to be successful in the Swiss way: no oil or ressource whatsoever, but still plenty of money.
The Story of Mel (unsung genius from when programmers were men)
Well, according to a whole bunch of comments recently, this is fine. Steve owns the App Store, he sets the rules.

If you want to be allowed in then you have to follow the rules.

And keep up to date with them when they change.

And be happy to change your apps name, language and design if Steve doesn't like them.

That's just the price you pay for being permitted to write Apps for Steve.
Looks like a nice upgrade.

One thing I really wish they would change is the clicking on the trackpad - instead of a heavy hinge at the top, it should be equally and easily depressable everywhere (for example, like the BB Storm2 screen). I don't know if I could use my macbook without turning on touch-to-click.
Paul Graham's Infatuation with the Concept of Hacker
We had the same problem. Launched initial app with pad in the name, it was approved without any problems, but the update was not approved because of the 'Pad' name. But to me it's not a big deal, I just changed it and reuploaded, I doubt having 'pad' in the name caused a big difference in sales.

The existing *Pad apps are still in the store.
From your link, Knuth himself says:

"The practitioner of literate programming can be regarded as an essayist, whose main concern is with exposition and excellence of style. Such an author, with thesaurus in hand, chooses the names of variables carefully and explains what each variable means."

I agree with Knuth. All my blog post is saying is that, given that a program is little more than a bunch of words (symbol names), we might as well make those words be the documentation instead of cluttering up the screen with more words that we call comments.
Interesting find! Note that Siemens owns the word marks only for specific goods and services:

Twitter's Bate and Switch
Maybe they will just print the deficit and devalue your currency, effectively taxing you anyway (you WISH your children would end up paying this - though they will, in part)

They love doing that in my third world country (they recently introduced the $ 2000 bill, when the old $ 1000 bill was the highest denomination previously, and the $ 5000 bill has already been printed and awaiting introduction), and the US has rediscovered it as well.

thanks! the site also has an e-book and spreadsheet on the program and doesn't even ask for an email address.

also there's a long answer in the book about the 'gain muscle/lose fat' discussion above.
According to the website you shouldn't even notice the switch:

Throw it away?
There have been major performance bumps in the CPU/graphics board, with automatic graphics switching in between the Nvidia 330M and the integrated Intel HD chipset. That should improve battery life.

Also, you can order a screen with 1680 by 1050 resolution on the 15" MacBooks.

Still, on the whole having a hard time getting very excited about the update. It's a refresh as opposed to a major update.
Switzerland might not have much mineral resources - but you might want to compare the skiing in Switzerland and Dubai to see one small area where the Swiss have a lot more going for them than Dubai does.

And yes, there is skiing in Dubai.

… a trademark is a distinctive sign or indicator used … to identify that the products … with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source…[wikipedia:trademark]

The developer clearly chose their name to associate their product with the source of the iPad and bask in that trademark owner's glow.

The angry mob here is vomiting "*pad" strawmen, but
"ContactPad" is not a generic word. Notice the capital 'P', notice the absence in any dictionary.

Now google "apple trademark pod" and tell me the developer shouldn't have seen this coming a mile away.

[1] I have great sympathy for anyone that has to name a product. In the past I've had to resort to a wordlike sequence of 5 letters for a major product because the lawyers kept waving us off of (and billing us for) anything we could think of that was the slightest bit descriptive. We even got waved off of a particular kind of quark because there was a software firm half a world away using it in their name.
I am a big believer in cross pollination of ideas. Are you applying any of your tech skills to your stock photography revenue stream? Data analysis, A/B testing etc...
Wow, I can't believe they actually released another one with Core 2 Duo.
Could someone claim a trademark on "Phone" too? This is ridiculous.

I had various app ideas for which a "Pad" suffix would be very appropriate. The form of the device just lends itself to apps that act like a pad of paper.
Is SATA 6gbps supported?
These current incarnations have 2 cores. I'm a bit disappointed that Apple didn't go for the 4-core i5/i7, though.
What measure would one use for best-ness? Points? Total karma of the commenter? Length of threads? Editor's choice?
They don't have a trademark on the word "pad". What they have is the ability to deny people access to the only market available for the iPhone. The language they use is slanted towards making that seem legitimate, but in the end, this is not a "trademark" issue in the legal sense, it's Apple owning the company store.
Is there a specific business you're trying to build, or are you just seeing how well you can do online?

Just did a 20 minutes test: I'm loving it.

It's amazing how I'm happy to trade features for speed. Also the UI is so much... like Fast Tracker :) That 2D interface that is clearly primitive but reacts like a videogame, instantaneously.

Saving pages and fast access to favorites is also very cool, but speed is the real killer feature here IMHO.
Ask HN: good desktop for developing?
I'm looking for a desktop, 4/5/600$-ish, mostly to be used for developing and storing my photos. Windows 7 is ok. Preferably not full of crap software that I have to remove. I already have 2 monitors I want to connect (so graphics card should have 2 exits). I have some external harddrives I'd like to connect too. I don't play games, just do browsing the web and code. I'm planning to use this for the next 2, 3 years.

Which one should I get? I just have no idea where to start.
Anybody can claim anything they want. In reality, should something go to court, it would quickly be revealed that Apple does not and cannot have a trademark on a word as generic as "pad".

But what would you have for it? The court is probably not going to force Apple to put your app in their store. An antitrust class action might be plausible, but that's not what we're talking about when we talk about trademarks.

It's misleading on Apple's part to call this a trademark issue.
i think the hinging probably increases the overall expected lifetime as the pad, 'cause then theres fewer degrees of freedom where friction wear needs to be accounted for, but this is only personal speculation/experience

Oh that is recursion!
I want to build steady online income. Mostly with stock photography - as I really like it. And with web development. I build website - make some money on it and then usually sell (until I will hit a real money killer).
As with many HN articles, the headline is misleading. Really, the language switch is a symptom, and not the driver of the decision.

From the article, their requirements included:

one of the first tasks we got was to make the management application cross platform, well this was expected considering the fact that the acquisition was done by RedHat.

And:

Sticking with C# requires technologies to help us run it on Linux. We found Mono ..., and the second option we found was Grasshopper which is a project of Mainsoft to compile MSIL to Java Bytecode. ... These 2 solutions were taken off the table ... we wanted to use a technology supported by Red Hat.

So it appears to me that the decision had nothing at all to do with technical strengths of the language. Moreover, it had nothing to do with the platform as such -- whether its technical strengths or any end-user demographics -- but purely politics driven by Red Hat.
Yes, exactly - but only in the old mode.

New mode doesn't have those features.
It's liek writing a shell script for every library, except now you're stuck typing commands so you need to carry it with you.

Plus I don't like TAB completion. If you can't remember where everything is maybe you should organise it better instead of drawing more maps.
Why the iPad isn't for me
This is interesting news, but not very surprising strangely enough.

If you assume that the next approximation to Newton's gravity equations are similar to Maxwell's equations (thereby introducing a secondary field analogous to B, the magnetic field) then you can do back of the envelope calculations that get you interesting results including this one - i.e. our universe's radius is of the order of Schwarzchild's radius of a black hole of the mass we estimate, together with the acceleration equivalences under that condition. By that I mean - the two situations of you accelerating w.r.t the rest of the universe and the rest of the universe accelerating w.r.t. to you are physically indistinguishable. You can get that for rotation (in which case the B analog gives you Coriolis force) and for linear acceleration as well. I think in these limiting calculations you get some constant factors wrong (like the Newtonian escape velocity calculation) but the order turns out ok.

This "analog of B" is called the "gravitomagnetic field" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitomagnetism) and NASA's GP-A and GP-B probes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_B) are for measuring this effect near earth.

Any way to find out what "solid state drive" they've got? Is it Intel's X2? That'd make a big difference in how much I'd want to spend/how much time I'd want to spend installing my own.
Making money from this is going to be an uphill battle, especially because getting people to use it is going to be an uphill battle. Looks very cool though.

Why To Be The Worst Student In Class
No, and ask Adobe why.
Nope, from what I've read they are both dual core with hyper-threading.

In fact, I can't find any sources that show any real difference between them other than clock speed. Maybe someone with more CPU expertise could enlighten me - do the model numbers in Intel's mobile processors now simply denote clock speed differences?

I took the netbook-only route. Never looked back.

All my code is on version control, mail and calendar are "on the cloud" and all important files are rsync'ed to another machine that would be perfectly happy with a serial terminal (but has hardware accelerated graphics because it was cheaper this way).

On my desk you will find a mouse, a monitor and a notebook stand. No need for more, really.
I agree, I don't think 524k to 22.9m sounds even remotely reasonable. Twitter was larger than that last year, and did not grow by 4400% in one year.

Have you tried the new 10.1 beta? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ apparently it's meant to solve a few performance problems for Mac users... would be interesting to hear any feedback from a Mac user.

They seem to us to last a fraction of a second.
Any app that needs the back button to fish around, could be improved by NOT needing the back button.
This is a combination of Apple and Intel craziness. Intel decided to have let the names i3/i5/i7 be independent of number of cores, and Apple don't mention the exact processor name, which would tell you. Just the clock speed.
Was the Air updated as well? I've been waiting for it to get 4GB of memory since it came out.

a free way to "help save some children".

Free to whom? I don't know how much it costs to make a regional UI alteration to Facebook, but I suspect that Mt Gamble doesn't either, and I doubt that it's free.
I presume it can only help to save children if it results in the conviction of a paedophile. How many have been convicted as a result of the button on Bebo or elsewhere?

Last week Mr Gamble announced the agency had received 252 complaints about Facebook during the first three months of the year - with 40% of them about the potential "grooming" of children.

Were these complaints about specific incidents or were they of a general "Facebook sucks" variety? If the latter, bear in mind that Facebook has 23 million users in the UK (according to http://www.clickymedia.co.uk/2010/01/facebook-user-statistic...).

He said the complaints had come via e-mails and people using other means to complain to the centre as they could not do so via Facebook.

So people who wanted to complain to CEOP did so by emailing CEOP rather than Facebook. What's wrong with that? Or is Mr Gamble implying that it is impossible to send a complaint to Facebook, or that Facebook will not act on an allegation?

Finally, the sad story of Miss Hall suggests that the real problem is not the absence of a button, but the difficulty in identifying the likes of Peter Chapman as potential rapists and murderers in the first place.

Maybe Facebook should provide CEOP's button, but CEOP has so far failed to make good case.
"...employees can use these nifty Google plug-in Priuses at no charge..."

It's better(ish). But it's hardly good.
Looks nice, but I'm a little confused. Why would I want to use this over something like Django?
Jealous of both.
"ContactPad" is not a generic word.

But is it an Apple trademark?

You are right in one way - developers should know by now that if they venture into the AppStore, they can expect Apple to destroy their business without hesitation, whenever they feel like it.
How do you pump and dump a large company that you just purchased at a premium?

Incidentally, if such a pump and dump scheme was performed, the guilty party is completely obvious. A minority shareholder lawsuit would be readily forthcoming.

Django Evolution - A changing of the guard
Seems like I replied to the wrong article: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1261802

Anyway: Very expensive. Why not go for a netbook and desktop instead? Are you really so mobile that you're willing to pay $1000 to get less hardware?
Good to know. Waste of a thousand or so $. Was hoping it had changed for this release, but I suppose that's hoping too much.
Between the (10%) restocking fee and the pita-ness of switching machines, I'm not sure that's such a great deal. :(

(I added my own SSD to mine, so it's not just a matter of Time Machine.)

It's a shame that government spending is decoupled from tax collection. By requiring employers to withhold and make estimated tax payments for employees, employees are unable to quantify the magnitude of taxes. If the average family in the country had to write a check for $18,276 to the federal government each year, people would start demanding a reduction in spending.
Yeah, it's basically just clock speed in the mobile CPUs, and of course the higher end i7s have 4 cores (and no on-chip graphics). Some desktop versions also omit hyper-threading and/or turbo boost.
Twitter Unveils Ad-Supported Business Model

Thank you. There are two reasons:

1. The deployment is just two clicks.

2. Applications can interact, i.e., your app can use the log app for logging, the profile app for accessing user profiles, etc. So each app does only one thing, but does it well. It can be imagined as a social network, whose logic and content is formed entirely by users.
Multitoe - multitouch interface for feet (CHI 2010)
"If future experiments reveal that our universe appears to rotate in a preferred direction, it would be indirect evidence supporting his wormhole theory, Poplawski said."

I was wondering, If the universe is our only point of reference, and everything in it is (at a whole) rotating at the same speed and in the same direction, how we could tell?
Probably because the top-end TDP is 130W for the i7. That has a tendency to lead to low battery life.
I've been using Django Evolution for my project, AppRabbit.com, and it's worked fine because schema changes are so closely controlled, but when trying to use it in a team settings on a separate project we're finding that it fails at simple stuff like changing field types. Checking the forums usually nets you a patch of some sort, but it would be nice if everything worked out of the box. I really hope that the new maintainer, Christian Hammond, will be able to move the project forward and really make it work for more scenarios.

P.S. Yes, we've tried South, and we may still end up going that direction, but we've had a lot of trouble with that too, so we'll see how things go.
> Besides, if he were successful in business, why would he be in government?

I don't know anything about this particular case or politician, but I sure hope some people go into government/politics in the hopes of being able to change something for the good, rather than merely because they couldn't make it big in industry.
Ideally it should be decided by an editor, but that costs time and money. For something more automated, Hacker News already ranks comment threads by some measure of quality so the good stuff ends up on top and the obnoxious/otiose one-liners drop to the bottom.

HN lacks an API, but a decent web scraper (like BeautifulSoup) should be able to walk the DOM and grab the top threads.

Depending on space restrictions in the print edition, this could comprise:

* All comment threads with a score above some threshold;

* Only the top thread;

* The best one-third of comments;

etc.
In my experience, the i7 is ungodly fast. A linux recompile is about 20 seconds on my box.

Unfortunately, it's the i5 that has crypto acceleration. The i7 does about 80MB/s/core, and the i5 does something like 2000MB/s. But is slower otherwise.

Fucking Intel....
Not sure about any performance problems it might have solved for me. I just don't see a difference.

"The remaining $13,130 represents this year's staggering budget deficit per household, which, along with all prior government debt, will be dumped in the laps of our children"
