Besides subsystems, tools like make and nmake utility can also reduce the compile time.

Make figures out automatically which files it needs to update, based on which source files have changed. It also automatically determines the proper order for updating files, in case one non-source file depends on another non-source file.
As a result, if you change a few source files and then run Make, it does not need to recompile all of your program. It updates only those non-source files that depend directly or indirectly on the source files that you changed.

SGI could have done the smart thing in 1993 and targeted consumers/small business. In 1993 they released the indy which was a low end workstation. It had everything your imac has today, video camera, chat file sharing, etc. Indigo magic was pretty usable even for today. All the desktop was vector based (vector icons, etc).

In effect, they had everything OSX has today. But instead they focused on the high end niche market and got eaten from below.

Do I think this is a good move for nokia? History sides very much with NO! Which is a shame, nokia always made good hardware, but perhaps far too much of it with too little support.
Ah well. Only a few months back everyone said the same about android ("What? But the appstore has like 1000 times more apps, android is not going to take of").

Keep in mind that you have the two biggest players in the world in operating systems (MS) and mobile phones (Nokia) collaborating. They have money, and as always MS will just throw money at the problem for years to make the products more appealing.

I don't know if they will succeed and have my doubts (huge, inflexible companies). But if those two big players won't succeed, then i can't imagine who will. Certainly not RIM, Palm/HP or Samsung.
I was at dinner with a young lady who is now my girlfriend a few months ago, and she asked me my plans for the next morning (Saturday). I told her that I was going to be programming (it was during the last week or two prior to AR's launch).

She said: Of course, after all you are a businessman. The job comes first.

I said: No. Not first. Not second, either, unless first is "all the things I love in life."

I had a really really awful no-good bad day today, buisnesswise. It was easily my worst ever on that score. But you know, in the greater scheme of things, if the code fails and the disk dies and my database goes to meet the great truncate in the sky, it will be very stressful for a few weeks, but I'll still have my family, my friends, my girlfriend, my faith, my health, etc.

We've got a lot of pressure and responsibility running companies, but at the end of thhe day, it is a job. You don't live to work, you work to live.
Fair enough. The N9 will ship with a 1GHz processor, if rumors are to be believed, So I'm guessing that will their first Windows 7 platform, unless they're building something W7 specific from the ground up.
AppSumo is a godsend.

MS has been throwing money at phones for years and going nowhere.

Most of what makes Nokia 'big' in terms of phones are all the commodity ones they sell. They could have worked on slimmer versions of Android to taper their line down into that market, but that won't be possible with WP7.

Nokia certainly won't up and die tomorrow, but I think it's not really a winning strategy, long term.

RAM prices were the major reason that SGI couldn't make IRIX run decently on a machine targeted at consumers or small businesses.

In 1993, 32mb of RAM was damn expensive (I know because I had a 32mb 486/66 machine in 1993. The thing cost $10,000!) And there were delays in IRIX releases because the cheapest Indy configuration didn't have enough RAM.

In fact, RAM prices were also a major factor in Windows NT not going mainstream until about 2000. People just couldn't afford machines that would run modern operating systems well until around 1995, and it took a few more years to sort out the software issues (drivers, backward compatibility with existing software) surrounding the compromises people used until then.

Not so smart move for Nokia, but this move could be good for WP7.
With Nokia MS could get some market share. But for Nokia it's dumb. They are betting on not so feature rich platform with very small market share, with small (comparing to competitors) number of third party applications. And what it worst this is closed platform controlled by other company.

I use QM in my argument because it is a direct cause of my believing that cut & paste transportation is in principle possible. Before I knew about that, I was in fact quite worried: philosophical arguments (like the Generalized Anti Zombie Principle) make sense, but I trust physics better.

Am i the only person here who finds this really exciting?Windows 7 is probably the best piece of software I have ever used, and yes I have a MacBook pro and an iPhone so I'm not some fanboy. So the world's best OS is about to be put on some of the best mobile hardware available, with two juggernaut companies putting their very survival on the line. I am so glad the market is getting shaken up like this, no matter what happens the consumers will be the ultimate winners of such brutal competition. Android can no longer coast on being the only good alternative to iOS.

I think so yes and the main reason for this is for the team Steve Jobs has built to replace him.

First of all there is Tim Cook, who as you will recall when Steve Jobs took a leave of absense in 2009, Tim Cook was calling the shots and he handled the storm caused by this extremely well.

Furthermore, the main difference between Apple and many of its competitors aren't just its "awesome designs" but rather its supply chain and inventory something, which Tim Cook is in charge of and handles very well - especially as you can see by his salary bonus which was $60million.

Additionally, most smart companies plan years ahead for their development roadmaps - Apple is an extremely smart company and will already have a development roadmap outlined for a few years in advance meaning that, they're already secure for the short-term well, they probably have a working iPhone 8 and an iPad 5 right now.

However, intead of just focusing on Tim Cook there is also Jonathan Ive who can take over the role as "visionary" having worked in the design aspects of Apples Products AND there is Scott Forstall who can focus on the "software" aspect of the business.

Again this shows, that Steve Jobs has built a great team to take over the day-to-day running of Apple with Tim Cook in charge and Scott Forstall and Jonathan Ive supporting in the design/new products and software departments that Apple will have continued success even without Steve Jobs operating as CEO.
This describes my experience quite well.
Well, it crashes Safari on my iPod Touch 2G. I was curious so I looked at the code.

IMHO there are only two possibilities:

(a) It's the css-font-definition-stuff they're doing
(b) google analytics script is causing the problem

Actually, I do think it's google.

Too bad, people should check their websites on mobile devices, too, before release. I believe I am not the only one who enjoys his/her daily dose of hacker news from a mobile device reclining on a couch. :-)
Nokia won't be able to ship Windows Phone 7 updates for existing Nokia smartphones, so everything will hinge on how many new Nokia WP7 devices they sell over the next year. If they don't start selling better, it's no net change...
Can you name one that isn't Apple? (that's the only one anyone has mentioned so far). Because, I think that Microsoft actually made out better in that deal - they didn't get broken up in antitrust.

Also, Apple really didn't get a 'partner' in Microsoft. Microsoft didn't need them from a technology point of view. They needed them to survive for legal reasons.

Essentially, Apple got an agreement that Microsoft would support the Mac for Office. That was the major coup because that meant that the Mac would be able to keep being seen as a legitimate business computer.

I think that the money was pretty minor in the deal (but I can't remember Apple's cash flow at that point in time).
Ask HN: blogspot.com is down
IIRC Microsoft invested in Apple at their low point, and also agreed to continue to support their Office suite on Apple computers. I would call that a partnership.

This works only if you're close to the centre of gravity of the site's population.

I'm a Christian and politically centre-left - not actually very unusual over here, as it happens, I'm just in a small church so that option doesn't really work. Even OKC, with its much vaunted matching system, is pretty bad at finding people who don't cross a red line for me one way or the other. Even with a tuned profile I tend to find:

* People who match with me on general life outlook are relatively often nowhere near me on religion. I'm not trying to exist in a Christian ghetto but a regular churchgoer and a Darwin fish aren't good matches. I also tend to match quite strongly with Muslim women, which I can't see either side appreciating.

* People who match with me on religion are often politically enough to the right of me that experience says there'd be arguments.

OKC has major advantages over many rivals because it's enormously easier to find red lines up front and save both parties a lot of time, but even then there are edge cases where matching can fail. The further away from the population centre you get the harder matching becomes (just as in the real world, frankly) and a crude 'local, age, height' filter will slow those people down considerably.

As they have 30k users, they are obviously prepared to spend a decent amount of money on using your product therefore, I highly recommend that you follow the route of Google Apps, Yammer, Salesforce's Chatter (Chatter Plus) etc and charge on a per user basis as well as, charging an inital setup fee.
I remember when windows 95 came out, all everyone talked about was affording more ram. Even the normal people. Still
with a little bit of effort they could have made it usable in 8-12meg. I think.

Then they had a second chance at the market with the SGI O2. Can you imagine walking into a best buy and seeing that next to windows95? Built in webcam, video recording, etc. It ran fine on 32-64 megs ram which in '96 was the norm.

I should mention, that NeXT also had the technology to make things happen. And they made it happen, a few years later....
Yeah, others mentioned this lower in the thread. I'm not so sure that this would be a good example of a partnership, because Microsoft didn't really get much from Apple.

Apple got back some legitimacy as a platform. I remember betting at the time that they'd be out of business before 2000 (this was before the return of Jobs). Microsoft gave them the ability to say, we're going to be around for a while, and our customers are going to be able to get work done.

What Microsoft gained (aside from a good return on investment) was something that they could point to when negotiating with the DOJ. A strong Apple was absolutely required for Microsoft to remain intact. So what Microsoft really got wasn't a partner, but a competitor.
Oops! The cores in Watson are 3.55 Ghz, sorry. I realise that ghz is not necessarily a measure of speed, this estimate could easily be out by a factor of 2 or 3.
In general, anything that happens after childbirth is tertiary from an evolutionary standpoint. All higher-order life has this defect not necessarily because it's good, but because merely delaying expression of the defect is enough. But what satisfies natural selection in the general case is not necessarily the best choice for people.

Also, humans have become so dominant by leapfrogging biological evolution with our technological evolution. This would just be one more example. It would not really be a dead-end unless we're looking at some eugenics angle.
Is it funny that I now think that HP buying Palm was the best business moves made last year?

I one fell swoop HP got exclusive rights to a legit smartphone platform where they wouldn't be beholden to any other company. No longer would HP be reliant on Microsoft in mobile.

Now, Nokia is going the opposite direction. Sure, Nokia has some important assets to leverage in this partnership. But make no mistake, this is a deal with the devil.

I wonder what this means for Qt?
Windows 7 isn't Windows Mobile 7, is it? The latter has been a full rewrite, so in many ways, it's completely different from everything else they have.

Not that it couldn't be good, just that you cannot automatically think that it is from Windows 7's qualities.

I've worked in a zappos like office. The problem is not the mess on the cubicles -- I was ok with that. The problem: it was too noisy. You could hardly concentrate or think. And the work sucked. The technical infrastructure was horrible.
> Those 'testable consequences' have only been verified to within experimental accuracy.

No, they have been verified up to perfect accuracy. That's because when 2 configurations are actually the same, the experimental measures are the squared modulus of complex numbers. If they are a tiny bit different (not the same), then the measures are the sum of the squared modulus of complex numbers. The two cases lead to very different results.

> In short, your argument hinges on reductionist assertions that are easily debatable.

It does hinges on reductionistic assumptions (there's only one territory out there, only maps are multi-level, and ontologically basic mental things don't exist). I doubt those are easily debatable, however. Up until now those assumptions worked, and I see no reason why they should break down some day. I am fully aware that the problem of conciousness has not been solved, but since we discovered that the mind is made of neurons, I think it is reasonable to believe it is solvable (though intractable at the moment).
I don't use Bing for search (I'm tempted to start using DDG) but I do use their maps quite often (though not exclusively).

I really don't have any brand loyalty to any of the search/map/whatever providers - if something seems to be consistently better I'll switch (as I did from AltaVista to Google).
Ahh... interesting. There is a Vimeo video, that is strange there is no sound. Are you on an ipad or iphone?
It's not true cause Apple encrypt the keychain entries with Triple-DES (which isn't modern crypto but it's better than nothing.)

If you get the file you can't read it unless you have the password. The "attackers" do load the code in the phone and then they got the entries using the system API which is very (very) different from having only the file and/or only a not jailbroken phone.

Can you name one that isn't Apple?

Intel: Sure, they had clashes over the decades (especially over Intel's forays into software, which Microsoft pushed damn hard to kill, and over NT ports to other ISAs), but these are exceptions.

Citrix: (From the fourth reference listed by https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Citrix_System...)

"Citrix's relationship with Microsoft was key to the company's growth. Microsoft's Windows was exceedingly popular, and Citrix allowed network users to run Windows, even if they used Macintosh computers, which had a completely different operating system. The two companies were deeply intertwined. Iacobucci had known Bill Gates for years, Microsoft was a major investor in Citrix, and much of Citrix's growth was due to the demand for access to Windows. But Microsoft shocked Citrix in 1997 when it announced that it was considering building its own version of Windows networking technology, supplanting Citrix with a home-grown Microsoft product. Citrix's stock plummeted on this news, as it did not seem possible for Citrix to survive without Microsoft. Yet in some ways, Microsoft's new plan didn't make sense. At that point, no one besides Citrix made anything like what Citrix made, so there was no chance of Microsoft licensing the technology from another company. And it would take Microsoft some time to develop a comparable program, probably years. Iacobucci flew to Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington, with a crew of advisors and negotiators and prepared for a long stay. The Citrix team camped out in a suite of apartments and hammered out an agreement with Microsoft over a period of months. Finally Citrix announced that it had signed a new licensing agreement with Microsoft, promising Citrix $75 million immediately, and another $100 million spread over several years. Microsoft would endorse Citrix's Windows networking systems for five more years."

Just because a partner is strong doesn't mean they're not a partner.

I basically agree. Look at the deal from MSFT's perspective:

1. They are desperate to get (back) into the mobile OS market. For a company that is built on OS dominance this is an existential crisis... much more than Google Search ever could be.

2. Everything they have tried so far has failed, badly. How many W7 phones have you seen in the wild?

3. Hooking up with partner like Nokia (remember: still the largest phone manufacturer, albeit mostly not smartphones) is probably the only credible move MSFT can make that may reverse this.

This implies that the deal probably is costing MSFT dearly. They needed Nokia, and Nokia knew it.

Remember: Microsoft still has more money than god. We've seen with Xbox that they're willing to use that cash to muscle into markets with entrenched players. If they want it bad enough they can be a force... imagine if they subsidize the hardware enough to make the phones almost free, buy several of the top indie iOS developers, and buy a pact with companies like EA to make new titles W7 exclusive at launch.

There's no reason to think they'll WIN.. after all, Apple and Google are hardly paupers. I'm just saying that it could get real interesting.

Or maybe it won't. MSFT might continue to make no headway in the market and Nokia will just end up going down the tubes.
I think you mean a sunk platform is not on fire.
I can't help but feel this was all arranged, with or without the full knowledge of the Nokia board, when Elop moved over.

It's a little sad for me, personally. I can't say with confidence that this isn't a good move for Nokia among the general populace but I've, finally, given up on them.

Goodbye. We'll always have the 2110 and the summer of 1994!

I am sympathetic to the side of 'Anonymous' because the only way to stop them is to destroy the freedom of the internet.

To me the statement 'Information wants to be free' isn't the statement it appears to be. It is a statement of policy and intent, not of literal fact.

It is not a true statement because I actually believe that every piece of data in the world literally should be available in the public domain, it is a true statement because the only way to achieve the alternative is to lock down and destroy a world of freedom and information that I have come to love with an abiding passion.

Successfully solving the problem of securing private government data from anonymous release over the internet requires that the internet as it exists now be destroyed.

Stopping me from freely copying music that exists on my computer requires that full control of my computer be unavailable to me.

Successfully solving the problem of ensuring centralised and secure online identification of individuals to stop online libel destroys the freedom of anonymous political dissent and organization.

I am deeply sympathetic to the political ideals of 'Anonymous' not because they are always right but because the nobody else in any position of authority or power appears to even recognise the problem.

Effectively, I am sympathetic to 'Anonymous' because there is no way for me not to be without also being against the freedoms that make them possible.
No, I mean broken as in I keep getting the wrong answer. :/
