I use XCode in "Condensed Mode": One source/header combo, one Window. And I like it a lot.

I've never been a fan of single-window IDEs, going all the way back to Visual C++ 6, and I don't think XCode 4 is going to be the one to change my mind. And god damn it, all the keyboard shortcuts have changed! This is going to be painful.

It's clear they've put a lot of work into it. It looks slick, and the organization of the menu and commands is much more thoughtful. The biggest problem with current version of XCode is that it's very difficult for newcomers to learn, and this new version will go a long way to correct that.

But none of that matters to me. I can't touch this software until I'm forced to use it, because when that happens I'm going to have to un-learn everything I currently know, start from scratch, learn all new habits, etc. Can't say I'm looking forward to it.
This exactly. I was looking for a way to hack in git support for a long time. I gave up and just used textmate and make for a while now though.

Too bad. You're missing out.
But the think tanks don't get paid for their ideas. And frankly think tanks are a bad example, since they really generate original ideas per se. But usually offer recommendations that are within the realm of what is commonly known in the field, but what's not clear is what is the best solution, e.g., what's the best way to do spectrum auctions.

So in these examples there's usually a handful of ways to handle it. Think tanks will often build models, go through the literature, and recommend a way of doing it. The value isn't in just the recommendation. You can find five other think tanks that will point to five other ways of doing it. The value is in their research.

To bring it back to HN. Here's an idea I have. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to teleport from point A to point B? How much do you want to pay me for the idea? Probably not much. But what if I had done a whole bunch of research in physics that gave a foundation for how it could be done, and built a device that could teleport a particle from A to a random location (so not location B). All of sudden the "idea" looks like it might be worth something. But you're really not buying the idea. You're buying all of the work that comes after the idea. It's not a bad idea, but it's not worth much without a whole lot of work.
I know a lot of people like this. I am a major keyboard geek; I started with a Model M, and moved to a HHKB professional. Then I bought a Realforce (same keyswitches as the HHKB, but different weighting depending on the strength of the finger that presses the key. great design.)

I showed my coworkers these, and they agreed that the keyboards were significantly nicer than any they had used. And at around $250 for either, they were pricey, but that could be gotten over.

The end result was that one coworker bought a Cherry Brown-based keyboard that was $120 cheaper. "I don't really like it very much. It's not as good as yours." Well, yeah. Another coworker decided, "I am definitely going to get a HHKB", and ended up with a $30 Sun type-7. Acceptable layout, $1 keyboard level "keyswitches". "I don't like it very much." Well, yeah, it's a $1 keyboard that you paid $30 for.

Topre keyboards cost $250 because they are worth $250. When you make that in a few hours of typing on one, it's silly to try and save a few bucks. My only regret is that I can't get the Realforce keys in a HHKB form factor :)

I also wish that people would learn where the keys are without looking, and how to press them with the correct finger. I did that, and it has improved my comfort greatly. (Actually, it made my left pinky hurt, since it is responsible for a metric fuckton of keys. Hence the Realforce.)

Thinking is defined as the thing that separates humans from nonhumans. Computers aren't humans. Therefore, even if computers can perform every task that humans can perform, what the computer is doing is, by definition, not thinking. Also, the question of whether X can think is completely without value.

Today, Xcode 4 developer preview 2 has been made available for download.

No official release date for the final release is known, but judging from Apple's history with developer previews you can expect it to be out within 6 weeks.
XCode already has a single-window mode. And as far as navigating multiple documents is concerned, it seems to work exactly the same as it does in XCode 4.
> Just because you believe it to be the case that users of libraries are not derivatives of those libraries does not make it true.

Just because you believe a set of machine instructions to be a library does not make it true.

The real problem is, we are now trying to legally define something that's really only a convenient mental abstraction for dividing up "things a processor does" into bins. Where does one package begin and another one end? Your processor doesn't know. It's a fiction.

Often, a very useful fiction. But then we get edge cases and the analogy breaks down.

Thesis complied in the most technical sense (no CSS, JS, or images) so I'm not sure how this accomplished anything in the name of "software freedom."

Look, here's the thing--we're not all your competitors. The existence of other bright people is more or less orthogonal to your success. Even then, they're probably a net positive because you have other people to learn from.

Your success or failure is up to your own actions. Worrying about other people is like learning a foreign language and worrying about all those native speakers out there. They're occasionally disheartening in their easy mastery but it's ultimately a completely pointless exercise.

Unfortunately, in this case I would agree with the original poster.

Your hyperbole doesn't quite work because we are dealing with human experience here. Poverty is not just a lack of money, it is most of all a very powerful internal human experience. There is no words to describe it. Kind of like there is not words to describe effectively what falling in love or dealing with a loved one's death is. Understanding that is not just a matter of reading an equation, you have to experience it yourself in order to more effectively talk about or try to fix it.

Does that stifle debate? Perhaps. I think the original poster was highlighting that it is important to keep in mind the personal experience before engaging in theoretical discussions about the subject.

> So why do we accept such a statement when it is made about nothing but a different sort of human experience?

The answer is in your question -- because _it is_ a human experience.

It seems to boil down to "how important is human experience?" Well, that's a topic for a new thread or a new philosophical debate...
No UI design perfectly suits every human; every UI design requires some level of adaptation to use efficiently. UIs that optimise for discoverability already exist; Windows and Mac OS X both do fairly well. The traditional Unix desktop has a different focus - why must people who use the traditional Unix desktop and are happy with it be forced to adapt to something else? Why can't we all just get along?

Put another way, the iOS interface, by rapidity of adoption alone, would seem to be far superior to traditional desktop-paradigm UIs. Would you agree that "common sense has to take precedence" and Windows and Mac users should have to abandon their systems and use iPads instead?

So maybe the computers will be humans. Was there any thinking involved in writing your comment? I think that anyone would say yes. But if you were a computer (and why you couldn't be just a computer, nothing less than autopsy can convince me), then you'd have to say no. That's strange, and would make word think completely useless.

Linux and GCC(GNU) have had a special relationship for a long time. It might be a while until LLVM can handle that task.

FreeBSD however will actually compile and boot. http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang . It's not completely foolproof yet. I think the BSD community has welcomed LLVM a little more warmly than GNU/Linux.

Yes, that was why I thought I was being downvoted, and as a comparison it could have been better - no one likes being insulted.

So, an individual human is more mentally unique than an individual, say, mouse, and that makes us more valuable than mice? Makes sense. Using that logic, since mice are easy to make more of, and are all essentially the same (birds might be better here, because their minds are even simpler, at least pigeons), they're not so valuable. Which also makes sense, and is basically a restating of the original claim.

No, I don't have an argument to prove that humans aren't inherently more morally relevant; but, before this, neither did I have an argument for why humans are more morally relevant, instead perceiving it as being because we're very self-centered. But now I do have an argument as to why we are, which is an improvement and allows me to take all of the assertions of us being more valuable as somewhat valid, instead of an unproven a priori assumption. So thank you for that.

Gödel, Escher, Bach -- The Course
Although I don't use XCode, I'm not sure how I feel about it suggesting minor fixes such as the == example. I enjoy writing a line seeing an issue and then solving it, or at least having to scan it with my eyes.

While I'm sure it's not an issue for most, I've always wondered whether that sort of thing breeds dependency. What happens when you don't have the IDE? Do you forget how to scan and fix minor issues? I've seen much worse... I've seen "professional developers" not know how to code or run projects without their all knowing IDE. Although I don't want to point any particular group out, many users of Visual Studio suffer from this issue.

My first Firefox security bug report (five years before I became a Mozilla employee!) was for a somewhat similar issue where pages could read form autofill data that wasn't explicitly entered by the user. Even before that vulnerability was fixed, it required significantly more user interaction than this Safari exploit. Normally Firefox will not make autofill data accessible to scripts except in response to user interaction.

Kanji is an exception in Japanese because it was forcibly shoe-horned into the language. (Granted, Kanji came before kana, but as far as 'purely Japanese' scripts I think that kana takes precedence). Thus it really doesn't fit well with the Japanese pronunciations because sometimes it was brought in for meaning (火山 vs 火) without any care for how it was pronounced -- either forcing the pronunciation to conform to the original Japanese word, or creating a new word from the Chinese.

Also the fact that Kanji entered japan at different points in history means that there were different interpretations of how the kanji should be used. (I see something similar with katakana -- you can generally tell the timeframe in which the word entered the Japanese language depending on whether the word is based on the English spelling, or the English pronunciation. Or is even from another language such a Portuguese or German)

:: End Sidebar ::

Not that I think that Japanese is a great example of a "logical language." But one of the things I always liked about Japanese is the fact that (with a few exceptions) the kana can only be pronounced one way.

Btw, as I'm sure you know the pronunciations for 二 is に. But when you combine it as part of a word can also be pronounced ふた、ふ、ふう　or じ
That was what I was thinking too. Either a hacker-space with some special purpose, or a distributed online hackerspace, probably with some integration of video-chat, IRC, and git repositories.
I can't imagine anyone actualy using IB, at last for anything but the most basic app. It just frustrates me no end, and I am pretty sure most people just create all the elements programmatically.
Agreed all around. Whether or not a name sounds right when you say it is one of the criteria we use on our project for naming design ideas. If you're interested in the rationale behind this, Eric Evans' book Domain Driven Design articulates a concept of design as the "ubiquitous language" of a project that I have found very useful.

What surprises me is that hacker news still let these dupes get posted. I was under the impression that a URL once submitted cannot be resubmitted.
I've submitted duplicate articles before (unknowingly) and it simply acts as an upvote for an article that has already been submitted.
I was thinking perhaps it lets you re-post after a certain predefined amount of time, but between two of the postings, there were only 18 days.

It always puzzled me as to why we don't see much of that.

...but I guess if you're Zynga and you're serving games to 70 million users already, there's not much incentive for you to go chasing up character license holders to split the rewards with them.

It also begs another question - since the nature of these social games is you "create" your character, they seem to place much less emphasis on characterisation. Are we ever going to have this generation's "Mario" for example, or is character branding like that going to become extinct if the long term trend is social gaming?
You want PropertyFromInstanceVariable from here:

This thing has saved me hours of aggravation. You highlight a line in the struct part of the Obj-C class definition, and it generates the @property, the @synthesize, and a line in dealloc. You can also highlight multiple lines, and it will generate multiple properties. It is even smart enough to know that ints are assign, NSStrings are copy, and other objects are retain.
PHP has had a fastcgi implementation for ages, but this adds process management to it.
Sweeeet. I've been wondering for a while about doing Comet style realtime stuff in Django and wondered if Tornado would work. This post inspired me to search the Tornado mailing list and, sure enough, there's a great thread with a full example explaining how to do it. Very awesome, I love the internet.

For others wondering about how to do realtime in django, here's the thread: http://groups.google.com/group/python-tornado/browse_thread/...

Kanji is an exception in Japanese because it was forcibly shoe-horned into the language.

Much like how the English alphabet ultimately originates from Egyptian hieroglyphs, and was forcibly shoe-horned into the language by the Romans as they spread Christianity across Europe.

But one of the things I always liked about Japanese is the fact that (with a few exceptions) the kana can only be pronounced one way.

Well, it does omit pitch accent. Reminds me of how my Japanese professor mentioned that she went almost a decade without realizing that in the こ-, そ-, あ-, ど- series, ど- involves a decrease in pitch, whereas the others involve an increase. Something that would be very useful to include in the orthography ;/

Btw, as I'm sure you know the pronunciations for 二 is に. But when you combine it as part of a word can also be pronounced ふた、ふ、ふう　or じ

Which is somewhat analogous to how 'p' and 'h' have one pronunciation (that I can think of off the top of my head), but when they're combined, you get an 'f' sound.

PHP's two most popular SAPIs are embedded and FastCGI. mod_php is embedded inside of Apache (and is problematic), whereas the FastCGI SAPI communicates via TCP or a Unix socket. The two major (there may be others) FastCGI process managers are spawn-fcgi (a Lighttpd subproject, http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/spawn-fcgi/wiki) and PHP-FPM. The latter is quite stable and has some nifty features (http://php-fpm.org/).

PHP-FPM used to exist as a patch for PHP (http://php-fpm.org/downloads/). It's now in core, and can be built with the --enable-fpm configure flag.
I believe Minsky is arguing that because these "devices of calculation" are not well understood, you cannot conclude that there is anything special about them that puts them beyond the reach of any computational (algorithmic) processes.

I think he's right. There's been a lot of progress in understanding information processing in the brain (especially the neocortex) since Minsky wrote this, and I really believe someday soon, notions such as "insight" that we, in our ignorance of how they work, reserve exclusively for humans, won't be such a big mystery anymore.
you want "cease" (to stop/end), rather than "seize" (to take hold/control of).

There’s also http://99-bottles-of-beer.net/, which is basically the same thing but only for printing out the lyrics of the 99 Bottles of Beer song. It has a version in pretty much any language you can think of. However, some of the versions are made not to show the language’s normal way to print the lyrics but to show a strange way only possible in that language.
I have no idea how they compare. The former is incomprehensible and the latter is both incomprehensible and non-computable. My intuition tells me the latter is much larger, because a computer could "easily" calculate the former.
My example may have been flawed (it was meant for exaggeration ) but the point still remains that API use is fine under GPL v2.
It lists algorithms and problems according to their classes such as linear programming or heuristics. When you choose an alogirthms the system gives you a basic explanation of the algorithm. Also it lists articles , books on this topic. You may also want to see which real world practices use this algorithm, which software packages include this algorithm and lastly what is the tutorials on this algorithm.
