Does anyone else find the title of "HTML5" game to be misleading or confusing? Back when HTML5 was first starting to gain a bit of traction, I didn't understand how games were possible until I realized it was just HTML5 basically allowing Javascript to do more. Not a big deal, but I find/found it confusing at first.
There has actually been work on cache-conscious tries, such as the HAT-trie.

Baker A: lives in a cave and consumes zero information

Baker B: actively pulls in information about surroundings

If the product you introduce actually generates substantial value for bakers, then Baker A will be forced out of the market by Baker B. In the very unlikely event the entire market of bakers is type A, then you launch your own bakery and make a killing. In the unlikely event there are plenty of type B Bakers but none of them have started an information pull source, then you launch your own information pull source and make a killing.
Here's another idea... in world without advertising, there would be a Baker News site that the cutting-edge bakeries would visit and participate in. The hacker would post a link to their software there, and have a chance of it reaching the most forward-thinking bakeries.
I wonder if this picks up tweets from my Android app http://www.kefsco.com/pooplog/
I think it makes sense if it uses <canvas> and <audio> which are bot HTML5 elements.
Both of the images are large PNG files, which leaves lots of room for steganographic data. Given that they're meaningless if interpreted literally (but seem to vaguely hint at meaning, which makes them good as red herrings), that seems like the most likely interpretation.

So the question is, who has the key? It seems like if anyone has it, Ryan Naraine should. But if he did, his post would be quite different.
> "Imagining for a moment that we live in such an ideal world, how will people find out about new products or services?"

They look for them. I realize that part of salesmanship is making people feel they need something that they did not know existed. The problem is most sales people seem to think that you need whatever they're pandering regardless of whether you actually do. So I'd rather leave the decision of whether I need something or not to myself rather than to salesmen.

Maybe what you're really asking for is not "how will they find out about them" but rather "how will I make them find out"? The answer is you won't. The internet is good enough, thank you. Maybe you'll be covered by my favourite blog or magazine, or I'll hear about you from a colleague.
They would have us believe that cold calling, spam and banner ads, keep countries running strong by bringing innovative solutions to businesses. As if people who run businesses are not actively searching for ways to save money.
I've been waiting for the exact same thing, myself. I was just saying to a friend the other day how nice it would be to be able to style select boxes and file inputs with jQuery UI (and how I wish it had a color picker widget so I wouldn't have to use a separate one, but that's another post entirely).

From what I can gather just by looking at the site, it doesn't look like it supports jQuery UI themes, but the theme CSS for Uniforms looks fairly small and not too terribly involved, so it shouldn't be hard to modify it to match your chosen UI theme.

This is definitely one I'm going to keep my eye on.
Is this something that anybody actually wants? The form elements are standard in your browser, any user knows immediately what they are. Is theming them a good thing, or just a way to make your web(site|app) "different" than everyone else?
Dear Einstein,
Pretty challenging one too.
You will quickly find out that the scrapers are coming from USA-based proxies, they pretend to be Google or Bing, they use an intermediary (say, Google Cache)... and so on, until you are tired of fighting them.

It's a losing game, unless you don't mind making it hard for actual users to view your content.

It's definitely putting pressure on them to provide a royalty-free version, which might include some of the less performant profiles. This was in the mix originally when H.264 was being developed, but major patent holders refused to go along with a 'royalty-free baseline' profile.

Ugh, I had the same reaction when I got to this point in the article. I couldn't continue reading.
Advertising is only annoying when it isn't targeted enough. Perfectly targeted advertising will be indistinguishable from any other piece of information in the near future with advanced recommendation engines.

Once everyone is online (in some sense), and that data is made open and accessible (perhaps Semantic Web)... then advertising will still exist. But you will pay a small amount for your message to go out to the exact people that you want it to go out to, in this case, bakeries. And the message won't blanket-out to every bakery, only those that don't already have a fancy bakery business app... plus it will focus primarily on bakeries which hint at a need for such an app (based on their online postings).

The Iran political situation is not exactly about to topple, but it's not the most stable situation in the world, either. Four-plus years is a really long time when we're talking about the CIA's/US's/Israel's ability to topple a potentially vulnerable regime.
But each owner, including the government, gets to spend it once (unless they reacquire it by trading something of value for it). If I give away a Porsche, it costs me one Porsche. If you then sell it or give it to somebody else, and they give it to somebody else, and so on 1000 times, that doesn't help me. The cost to me is still one Porsche.

By your logic, if we could make a penny out of Adamantium that cost a trillion trillion dollars to make, it would be worth it, because the penny would last forever and be re-used an infinite number of times. But the cost of the penny to the government is not amortized across all the transactions it is used in UNLESS the government is a party to all those transactions (which it is not).
Wait? People need to have heard of a product before they'll buy it? And people who make products need to be the ones to tell people about them? Next you'll try to tell me water is wet or that the earth revolves around the Sun. Surely you have something to add to the subject other than truisms.
Computer beats Jeopardy champs
As for non-discriminatory: I believe the MPEG-LA patent-holders are free to make side deals that bypass the supposedly non-discriminatory licensing fees. So if you are a major patent holder, you can in theory go to each of the other patent holders and negotiate 'cross-licensing' of your patents, agreeing to charge each other nothing for using each other's licenses.

So MPEG in this light can be seen as a collusive monopolistic oligarchy, where if you're in the club you get something for free that everyone else has to pay for. Not very competitive.

A bit of history: early on, On2 made a stink about the monopolistic nature of MPEG-LA:

Iran's top people have been established to desire the destruction of Israel at minimum, and they can't fathom the destruction of the US, but if they could, I'm pretty sure they would want that too. So, at minimum, they would want to do shit like this to Israel if they remotely had the capability. My impression is that they don't have remotely the brain-capital to do so.
I figure when you're worth $14bn you don't really have to try to impress anyone with fancy clothes and can pretty much do whatever you want.

And who knows, Zuckerberg's wardrobe decisions may have nothing all to do with a personal aesthetic and everything to do with comfort and practicality. He seems to me like the kind of person who probably doesn't care what others think, so why dress to impress?

I don't think he really has to prove anything to anyone at this point and I am guessing he probably never did care to associate/partner with business types who would rather make judgements about his business based on his clothing rather than the actual merits of the web site he was developing.
> We used the Tanenbaum book and his "Minix" system.

The 'problem' with this, if you want to approach it that way, is that Minix is not representative of how most OSes in the real world work: It's a microkernel in a world of monolithic kernels, which means studying it to learn how the rest of the OS world works is a bit like looking at electric engines to figure out how your gas-powered car runs on the inside.

(There's also the jibe that microkernels are the wave of the future, and always will be.)

Minecraft is awesome. But nothing about it's business or distribution model is new. I was playing computer games I got from "The Net" (well, back then, it was BBS's-over-modems) that were (a) made by a single guy and/or small team, and (b) sold directly (or mostly so) and/or pirated. Now, this thing is awesome and he did a hell of a job at overall game design and coding. But this meme I've seen going around how the fact that it's the work of basically one guy is some new new thing: it's not.
Is your goal to do a startup, or become a programmer?

If it's the former, I strongly recommend simply learning HTML/CSS/Javascript and make a killer front-end of your product without the back-end logic. Trust me on this.

Not only is it faster, it's the pretty front end that gets other developers to understand your product. Don't worry if your "product" lacks logic at first. Static content serves the purpose just fine. At the same time, this will convince people that you can carry your own weight in the startup. Now you have something real useful to offer and contribute instead of just an idea.
Those are way complicated, though. I read that HAT-trie paper some time ago and I still don't understand it 100%. Compare this to djb's crit-bit description which fits nicely in a paragraph and tells you most everything you need to know.

I suppose it's one of those 80-20 issues: compressed binary tries only have a few drawbacks, but addressing those requires a ton of effort.

I agree about the article. If the Steve Jobs part was moved to the top, instead of the bottom, it would have sounded much less convincing.
It shows how a single thought can be manipulated in different way (function overloading :p). The reason to write this blog was not at all religious or to make ppl agnostic. What 'laurasbadideas' said is right! God n all the thng was jus an example to tell y'all that I started to think on such issues just because Programming taught me 'How to solve the problems' or 'always ask question like WHY'
there are more issues whose answers i got too wich goes to my personal life, God was jus an example m not here to tell Fuck it, God sucks n all that its ur own opinion. It was jus an example to tell how programming influences my decisions
Hrm. Doesn't look like they currently support Hacker News. Maybe they'll add that as a paid feature shortly?

Looks like there is alot of confusion, I wrote this blog not to equate b/w Religious Affairs and Programming. (I knw its delicate issue) My main point over here is 'how programming influences my personal and social decisions'.
I take this as my failure of writing skills cuz almost everyone treated this article in wrong way :P
again m sayin its nothing abt religious but its about 'Finding answers' and that attitude programming gave me
Perhaps we'll be as successful as we were in Cuba! Or maybe North Korea! Or Iraq....We've only been trying to overthrow the government in Cuba for, oh, about half a century. I'm sure we'll nail it any day now. True, Cuba is 90 miles from the US and we've got millions of spanish speakers, so toppling the Iranian government should be a piece of cake given how many Farsi speakers work for the US government!

Even if we were successful, what makes you think alternate Iranian regimes would differ on nuclear policy from the current one? Or is the plan to replace the current regime with another brutal dictator who will have zero popular legitimacy? After all, that's worked out so well for us in the past....

Finally, has Israel ever successfully toppled a regime anywhere in the world?

Culturalists confuse cause and effect, arguing that lack of social mobility among black youth is a product of their culture rather than the other way around.

I recognize this pattern. This is what happens when both sides of an argument perceive at least part of a feedback loop, but neither side perceives the feedback loop itself.
I agree with your last sentence, but not the one before it. Alex isn't arguing that users consciously prefer native apps; most don't even know what "native app" means. He's arguing that native apps feel better to users and that this feeling is worth something. How much it's worth is hard to quantify. The test you describe wouldn't answer that. As for this:

which all available evidence says is one account worth $20 a month

... surely you haven't reviewed all available evidence on this question? Or did God give it to us when he gave us AB testing? I'm joking, but I think you're trivializing a nontrivial question. I'd like to know how to find "all available evidence"; my experience is that this kind of thing can be very hard to measure.

Edit: it's worth remembering that Steve Jobs made almost an identical argument to Alex's in his critique of Flash last year, even emphasizing that it was his most important point: "We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps" (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/). Sub-standard apps are exactly what the OP is about.

There's a lot to be said about the potential of the WebKit HTML/JS portion of AIR that's far less used than the Flash or Flex counterparts.

In my experience, the lack of a sane garbage collector burned me in the end. I believe the reasoning was that Flash apps were ephemeral, from page load to page load, and definitely not meant for a desktop application with a long life.

It was very hard to ever really free memory, and I remember writing a fairly straight-forward AIR app which would start at 70MB RSS, and balloon to 1GB the next morning.
I think it's more likely that nobody will get nuked if Iran doesn't have nukes.

But this doesn't stop Iran from getting nukes, it only delays them. And I don't see why Iran getting nukes increases the probability of anyone getting nuked. A nuclear Iran is an Iran that still responds to deterrence.

Wrong. Do you know anyone who does instrumentation and control work for power plants? These are people who are very skilled...in their field. In my experience, they don't know a lot about security because they don't have to. They don't have millions of script kiddies and organized crime hammering their code looking for exploits so they can afford to be blissfully ignorant. And they're no more disciplined than any other developer.

Here is my problem with web browser's default form element: inconsistent in their size. For every browser, the default size of form elements varies a few pixels, and that causes the difference in subsequent layout etc. I guess that is the main reason why you don't normally see much default form elements in popular web applications.
I don't think Qualcomm would even have lost that case if not for their participation in the standardization process. MPEG-LA is probably under no obligation to disclose the extent to which they believe their portfolio is infringed on by WebM until it becomes profitable to do so, so we will likely not know whether this is the case until WebM achieves significant uptake, if that ever happens.

I probably shouldn't be surprised by willful ignorance anymore, but it amazes me that everybody in the article can celebrate this achievement and at the same time admit that it's just "pushing back the clock."
