May I ask why my opinion is ridiculous?

Other industries (telecommunications for example) have regulatory bodies which oversee good practice.

I don't see why it's ridiculous to imagine a regulatory body overseeing good practice for privately created IP-focused marketplaces.

And the position of some of the VLC developers isn't my way or the highway?

They requested Apple to (a)change the policies of the store or (b)remove the software from it, and they got exactly that. Then they complained.
Uups, how did I mist that one. Now fixed, thanks!
Totally not.

A VLC developer complained to Apple about a copyright violation in October.

Apple pulled it unilaterally yesterday, after more than 2 months of silence, after refusing to help people, notably me, to solve the matter. So, Apple is definitively "part of this".

Not to mention that you are speaking about "VLC" which doesn't mean anything, since it isn't a legal entity.

And to finish "AppStore license terms" change all the time... So it is hard to "play within the bounds".
The problem is that this license doesn't allow distributors, like Apple, to limit users rights...
You're totally correct. It appears every picture in this article is off by a large factor.

> The thing with Science Fiction is that it's hardly a genre. As Asimov shows in "The CAves of Steel", it's mor ofa set of conventions about setting and style

I respectfully disagree. Yes, a lot of writing gets lumped in as "science fiction" because it has space and robots and lasers, but you can look for science fiction as a genre. I define it as fiction that explores questions raised by developments in science and technology. "Do Androids..." was clearly sci-fi, dealing with questions about what it is to be human, but also about if we could create souls, etc. (As an aside, it's a direction of thought I really wish the new BSG would've focused more on, as opposed to mythology/political thriller)

William Gibson has been consistently good with writing what I describe as science fiction. So was Neal Stephenson (Cryptonomicon, Diamond Age, even the System of the World trilogy). Conversely, Star Wars would not be considered science fiction, just fantasy with spaceships.

Who is "you guys"? Do you understand what are true open source communities without copyright assignment?

Not to mention, that it is a 3rd party that uploaded the application, and that Apple distributed the application.

One copyright holder asked filed a request for infringement, two months ago; and Apple has refused to help to discuss and solve the matter. And then, pulled the application...

And, you don't see people from VLC complaining.

I don't see why you are so aggressive on this matter.
Nice!

I think what it comes down to is that you either love and accept the military way of life or you don't. If you do, then you'll stay and accept the good with the bad. If you don't, then no amount of promotion is going to keep you.

I wasn't an officer, but I was an NCO in SOCOM, and we had a lot of very intelligent Soldiers. We had one of the lowest retention rates in the Army (I'm guessing) simply because we had other options in the civilian world that paid more, challenged us more, promoted us based on talent and potential, and kept us home.

Overall, the military promotion system is backwards and archaic. Until it is fixed (at least in the Army), I think you'll continue to see a steady decline in re-enlistment of talented people.

In the Navy, I can only assume that it's the same way.
That's why I have friends lists. Just some weeks ago some girl I didn't know that happened to be the designated driver of the group of friends I was with on the new years eve sent me a friend request on facebook.

I don't want to be rude and accepted it, but she went to my list of people that I don't consider friends, but people that at some point in my life I had some interaction that as now ceased. That list doesn't have access to my photos, only some personal information and the majority of my status updates are invisible to them unless I explicitly set otherwise.

So yeah, they're my fake friends. If your friends list is already big setting this up and checking if there are no backdoors into your information will be painful, but I think it pays off. I did it mostly because I didn't want to bring the family and friends sides of my life together in a single website, with all the potential problems that could come from that, but I ended up creating more than just the friends and family lists.

Funny thing, right now Facebook privacy is more about protecting your information from your "friends" than from the outside world.

"Apple needs to be willing to discuss issues. Too often, their position can be summarised as 'my way, or the highway'."

Well, it is their platform and their store. If you think the rules are unfair then you can also develop for other platforms.

First, Apple had ZERO problems with approving VLC and getting it on the store. The app is gone now, but that is not because Apple changed their position, they simply responded to an alledged copyright/license issue reported by the original owner of the code.

The reason that the app has been removed is because the VLC developers, specifially Rémi Denis-Courmont, has requested Apple to remove the app from the store because of what license conflicts.

They would respond in exactly the same way if the GPL were not involved.

Seriously, Apple is currently working in the best interest of the claimed rights holder of VLC: it removed the app so that VLC and Applidium can figure this out.

This is not a case of Apple Against GPL: As soon as Applidium and VLC think they can actually work with the terms of the GPL and App Store then they can send that message to Apple and resubsmit the app.

I sure hope they do, but from what I've seen so far, the VLC folks seem to be extremely anti-Apple. We all lose. Thanks VLC.
Absolute limit of 60k means it's not worth investing in if there's a chance you will hit that limit.
What I learned in building my app was how many different ways people used my app. I found that once I asked why they wanted certain features and learned a bit about their usage behavior, I could more clearly ascertain whether this was a smart idea or an aberration.

Here's a blog-like post (really a Facebook Note) I made about the differences a while back:

Having the right syntax for databases is critical. Here's the moderately optimized SQL for two DB systems for two different updates:

SQL Server

Update tok
Set spid = est.sid
FROM @Tok tok
INNER JOIN @eST est ON tok.cs = est.cs

For SQL Server -- using the table alias for the update is critical for good performance. Another trick for SQL Server can be to do something like (which is recommended by the SQL Server team -- and it yields excellent speed improvements):

Update tok
Set spid = est.sid
FROM (SELECT * FROM @Tok) tok
INNER JOIN @eST est ON tok.cs = est.cs

Postgres

Update _Tok
Set spid = est . sid
FROM _Tok tok
INNER JOIN _eST est ON tok.cs = est.cs
WHERE tok.cs = _Tok.cs

For Posgres, the performance critical line is the addition of the WHERE clause to bind the Update table to the FROM table. It makes sense -- once you understand (from the SQL Server perspective) that it is equivalent to using the alias in the Update clause

For those who read the whole article and like me still couldn't really tell what it was, openstack.org seems to describe it as a vm provisioning and management API along with a middleware component for long term archival disk storage with replication. So for creating, starting, stopping and such of vms through a vendor independent abstraction, and something that might be a bit like s3 without a back end.

Room in Cloud Storage for a Canadian based provider?
Do you think the cloud storage market has room or justification for a Canadian based provider? Some colleagues and I are in the process of developing a cloud architecture that let's us undercut Amazon EC2 by ~50% and turn a significant profit, while remaining Canadian owned/operated and based.

We think one of our advantages is the fact that our servers would be in Canada and so, more sheltered from the Patriot Act, among other things.

What are your thoughts?
telecommunications for example

Telecommunications (in the USA) used publicly-owned airwaves and in too-many cases have de facto or de jure monopolies. Neither applies to Apple.

Your previous day job of "making things work" implies you might have a
talent for learning and understanding "how things work." If so, this
talent will serve you well in Computer Forensics, Reverse Engineering,
Security Auditing, and many other related fields. Heck, it will even
serve you very well in countless unrelated fields.

You should state what you mean by the phrase "Computer Forensics" and
what you expect such a job to entail?

Without knowing your definition and expectations it's very difficult to
give you a good direct answer. Some of the stuff I've done
professionally qualifies as "Computer Forensics" (by some definitions),
but I'm certainly not an expert in the entire field.

Funny, I'm in the US, and I moved around a ton in primary school days (I went to 6 schools from K-5). I managed to never get instruction on the 'US' system of measure. I have no idea how many feet are in a mile, how many quarts in a gallon, cups in a quart, etc.

I did manage to hit each school districts 'metric' year...6 times in a row. So I know the SI system like the back of my hand - it's kind of awkward really.

That's a good thought on how to represent the volume, though. A 1000 TEU ship is a medium size feeder. A bit of googling around gets me the Logan James, 1055 TEU: http://smithholdingsgroup.com/Shipping.html

I hate to say it, but this is why I have a big problem with the GPL.

Not for infrastructure software like operating systems, web servers, and databases (where I think it is appropriate and beneficial), but for code intended for use in end-user applications (including web applications).

I think licenses like BSD, MIT, and Apache spur more innovation in those cases. You can make the argument that companies have no incentive to contribute back to open source projects without copyleft licenses, but projects like Webkit and Rails have proven otherwise.
It could be my understanding of what was going on was incorrect, but I'll tell you what I observed, and please let me know if there was a better way to fix it. I found the easiest way to do so was just to avoid using Views. And frankly, wasn't surprised by this, as using UDFs w/ SQL Server also had really bad perf, so I didn't question that a particular feature was badly performing.

Ok, lets say you have two large tables: Sentences and Annotations, and you make a view that joins those, lets call it vwSentencesDetailed. Then you do a query like:

select * from vwSentencesDetailed where srcID = _srcID

Where srcID is an indexed field in the Sentences table that will let you get a narrow subset of the data. Let's say the particular file it came from....

The performance characteristic I observed was that the it behaved like (loosely):

select * from (Select * from Sentences s Inner Join Annotations a on a.sentID = s.sentID) vw where srcID = _srcID

rather than like:

select * from (Select * from Sentences s Inner Join Annotations a on a.sentID = s.sentID where srcID = _srcID) vw

I believe that SQL Server makes such a performance optimization, but Postgres does not.

The insistence on doing RPC is (IMHO) part of what caused SOAP to fail.

ex-Naval Officer: I left because I knew the most incapable officers around me would be promoted at the same time I would be and that after a few years on shore duty I would be back on a submarine working with them. Except now they would be in a position that their level of ability would affect more people. After a few more years, most of those people would be promoted to the next level with me.

It was just my experience, I don't know about other ships but some of the officers at the level higher than me were not worth the oxygen they displaced. The Captain of the ship was unable or unwilling to deal with them. It eventually degraded into the Captain making jokes, I think he thought that would motivate them to work harder.

The worst thing for me was that there was no mechanism to filter out the underachievers. The evaluation system is useless, everyone gets the same grade.
Well, it is their platform and their store. [..]

I often hear this rhetoric provided as the de facto reason for why Apple (and other corporations governing IP-marketplaces) should be able to do whatever they like.

If this was true - why can't a telecommunications company operate in whichever way they choose? Why do we have regulatory frameworks which address the problem of monopolies or the formation of cartels?

Because sometimes corporations aren't working in the interest of the public at large; and they need to operate within a larger framework which has been put in place for the benefit of society.

To enable them to do so effectively - traditionally, regulatory bodies are put in place to oversee good practice.

I hope the same happens to regulate these new IP-focused marketplaces.

--

[..] If you think the rules are unfair then you can also develop for other platforms.

I don't think this is necessarily true.

People (customers, developers and businesses) have to invest a great deal of time, effort and money when they choose to develop for (or make use of) a specific platform.

Switching is expensive - and eventually common sense dictates that its more likely that those who have invested, are likely to put up with rules and regulations which they might otherwise see as unfair.

Also, once a developer has produced their iOS-based product - they are forced to sell through one marketplace; the Apple AppStore - which is also cause for concern in my opinion.

Exactly.

Furthermore, in this case we aren't even given enough information to derive a "true" direct answer. What's the architecture? The compiler? Hell, we don't even know the language! Assuming x86, gcc, and C, which is a best case assumption (from the standpoint of easily being able to come upon an answer, and test it) we still don't quite know. What optimization level is being used?

Without answers to all of those questions, and likely more, the only possible answer is "if you need to know, you already messed up".

Not true in the general case. On some architectures, some instructions take longer than others.
The Arduino is absolutely cool, but the reason I recommend it is that it can be a good start to get introduced to analog electronics, that is even cooler for programmers. As after all the arduino itself for a programmer is just a small computer. Cool but nothing completely different especially if you used to write code in assember or C. But... analog programing, creating an AM receiver or transmitter, amplifying using a transistor, creating an oscillator, well, that is magic.
