No that's what an ultraportable device is for. Maybe a tablet device.

Don't try to make it look like the iPad is the only option or the best option. Considering the amount of control that Apple exerts over this device AFTER the purchase, iPad can even be a liability in some scenarios.

Although I think a pre-installed Apple option on an iPhone would prove mega popular, I'm also rooting for FaceCash.
I think it's a fine idea, and certainly it wouldn't hurt to start collecting opt-in's. While the 'serendipity' argument is frequently presented, I think this is just a matter of coming up with a better recommendation algorithm.

Move is primarily aimed towards people not previously familiar with programming computers.

i am familiar with programming computers and the brackets, carets, and parentheses needed in the 3-line demo on the home page put me off.
I can only speak to 5 and 6, but:

5) Ctrl+Shift+C works as copy in the default Terminal setup; mouse selection to copy should work, and middle-click is paste.

6) dpkg -L <packagename> is your friend, logs are in /var/log, configuration is in /etc, and it's that way primarily so that they can be on different partitions.
I tend to agree with the blog author, that Apple didn't yet found the sweet spot for the iPad’s usage. Everyone is different, and for some people (who maybe mostly interacted with other websites), iPad can even replace a laptop.

If I can speak from my experience, I still see iOS as mostly a gaming and entertainment platform. You mention that with Garage Band, Apple removed some perceived limitations about the platform - yes, I agree, but so what, for many it is still an entertainment application.

To sum it up, until now I am not that impressed with what App Store offers - they are just a handful of useful applications there, drowning in a sea of games/entertainment/kill-time apps. We are still far away from that so-called "post-PC era".
hello = ^(name){ "Hello "+name }
repeat {times: 3} ^{
print hello {name: "John"}
}

The syntax makes no sense. How can this be aimed towards people not previously familiar with programming computers?

And how can this be considered intuitive?

>When creating a function, we can specify function arguments, which are sorrounded by parentheses and put in between the "^" and the "{". These "arguments" are just like variables, but which are only available inside our function.

Exactly. On top of that, popular DAWs have significant eco-systems built up around them - it isn't unusual for professional users to have hundreds or even thousands of dollars invested in plugins, making it more difficult to jump ship.

"Obj-c may be verbose but XCode 4 does a lot of the heavy lifting with templates, snippets, and auto-completion,"

That's exactly what was said about Java or MFC. Instead of staring at your own verbose code you're now staring at the auto-generated verbose code.
This is how a friend rationalized it: He wanted to buy the 16gb 3g model, but realized that some of the games e.g. fifa 2011 run close to 1G in size. Naturally, if there are 10 of these apps, you would run out of space on the 16gb model. 32 seems like a good middleground, which is what he went for

Off the top of my head, both reddit/r/[learnprogramming|coding|lisp|haskell|etc.] and Stackoverflow questioners who are asking things a junior engineer would typically ask. Maybe the same at Quora too.
You can't create an "easy to use" function if you name it foo and you name your variables a, b, c and d or blat or faz or whatever.

"Which is just about as concise as you can get. Of course it would be "nice" if objective-c allowed for parameter order to not be meaningful, but that would require dictionaries of parameters, instead of what really happens"

It's pretty easy for the compiler to look at the param name at the call site and compare it to what was declared. No dictionaries needed at run-time.

While these cones/horns impedance-convert the sound waves for far field listening, they can not change the fact that the original speaker diaphragms are tiny. As such, bass response will be terrible.

Still, better than nothing I guess.
"Now, on iOS the speed can be a big issue, so knowing if there is a performance penalty that comes with that is a big deal, which I don't see covered in the article."

I completely agree. Do you have some good suggestions on how to test this?

Thanks, will do. It'd be interesting to hear your opinion on whether Apple pre-installing their own solution would have a positive or negative effect on FaceCash (increased awareness/huge competitor). Either way, keep up the good work!

Since his firing BofA has ruined his life/credit/relationships and he will probably be in court for the rest of his life.

I'd really like to hear more, as I'm having trouble understanding what they could do other than take him to court for stealing documents or whatever. Specifically, how did they ruin his relationships? Do they call and hang up when his girlfriend answers? Do they call his friends claiming to be him, impersonating his voice, and saying things like, "you know, your feet really smell"?

I don't think you explained this. It seems as though you're just arguing about the cost of batteries, not a certain "type" of power. (what types of power are there, anyways? I only know of one: electricity. There are many different ways to generate it though..)
Yes, but major development is still needed to make such reactors safe and viable.

>Whatever benefit you think this is going to bring when it's done, why not prototype that now?

The biggest benefit is removing the need for a configured, physically accesible, machine in order to do your work.

Imagine visiting the parents for a weekend and being able to fix a small but urgent bug and do a commit using either something you have with you (like your webkit-based device) or what they have there (low-powered machine). Using a browser seems the most natural.
I wouldn't take it too seriously. Many of the major tech companies and investors have significant operations in the valley, which requires a large portion of the talent to live in the valley. These people then proceed to start other companies in the valley, and so the cycle continues.

At least that's the impression that I get.

The Django admin gives you the basics for free, and it's quite easy to add admin controls to the existing pages. All you have to do is add a boolean field to the admin form (which creates a checkbox in the object's admin page) and then override the admin form's save method so you can check the value of the field.

The thing that is impressive to me is how many things are accepted and not considered 'serious criminal activity' these days.

This language seems an awful lot like JavaScript, except you can set default values for arguments, all arguments get passed in via an object literal, and "function" is called "^"

Oh yeah, and no semicolons.
ommon elements are shared by using a single source (e.g. google's CDN for javascripts) but standardizing makes little sense imvho.
For one, you can use an ETag without generating the page and hashing it if it only depends on a db-stored resource, and that is mightily application dependent.
Sure. Major investment and infrastructure improvements are needed to make its alternatives viable too.

EDIT: I should note that even the above is somewhat irrelevant to my original point, which was simply that one cannot dismiss nuclear power as a whole simply because one type of fuel supply is "limited".
We don't want any 909ers 'round here brah. :)

On another note: there is a ton of opportunity in web companies with a background in applied mathematics with all the data mining and social graphing and business statistics.

Having lived in Europe and the US, I see what he's saying. He's referring more to Miller's "seven, plus or minus two" guide for the human's ability to differentiate values along a single axis.

With Celsius, you're using an extremely narrow range in day-to-day life, the most common use case. Do I need to wear layers today? Hmm, there will be a high of 21, and a low of 15, so I guess I should grab a vest. If I ask someone the forecast, and they say,"around 20 degrees," I don't know if I'll need the vest, as that could cover 18 to 22 degrees.

Except in rare circumstances, you're not going to need to tell people it's going to be 40+ degrees. If you do, you don't really need the precision anyway, as anything above 30 degrees is probably going to be "hot."

Therefore, that 40-100 range (and beyond) is basically useful for cooking. Sure, it's important on a day-to-day basis, but you generally have specific targets for what you're cooking.[1] I'd argue Fahrenheit is even more useful in cooking, as the difference in one or two degrees Celsius can ruin your fish.

Fahrenheit, with a broader range, is easier to digest and more resilient to signal loss. "Forties" means "wear a coat," "eighties" means "call in sick and go play," "nineties" means "I wonder what's playing at the cinema so I can sit in air conditioned darkness."

Peace comes at -40 degrees, when C = F.

The moral of the story is: don't be a whistleblower unless it's for some area of industry where the government gives you immunity and a few million in cash. Or, be prepared to never work in that industry again: this is whistleblowing 101, so don't be surprised.

(Not that I think he is blowing the whistle on anything, really. It sounds like he was upset that he was fired so he tried to make his Outlook dump sound interesting enough to get himself some media attention. It didn't work.)
It's a nice line, btw is it literally true? It fits with Deming, quality and six-sigma.

I ask, because Christensen claims that Japan success a few decades ago was because all their successful firms (Toyota, Sony, etc etc) began with disruptive innovations, that needed to be improved, with sustaining innovations. Aiming at quality works really well for this.

He then says their recent hard times are because those disruptive innovations have now become good enough - but the Japanese firms are still improving on quality. He contrasts this with the US, where new disruptive firms are being created all the time (aided by employee mobility, VC/angel/YC non-debt funding, open markets, start-up infrastructure, largely unregulated competition, and strong IP for R&D).
Photovoltaics are indeed not very cost efficient right now, but solar thermal[1] is a much more mature, cheaper technology. It's also easier to store large amounts of heat than to store electricity.

What is a Forex Robot? At Newfapturboreview.Com
This is just one of the questions being asked left and right in various parts of the U.S. and Canada in the past 6 months. This is all thanks to the rise of FAP Turbo, a forex robot that is one of the best at handling forex tasks and processes that usually take 5 hours or more if done manually. To put it briefly, an online forex robot is a program or software that has been specially developed by experts in order to handle forex related tasks in a shorter time period rather than doing such tasks the traditional way using traditional methods.
> Another nice thing about skip lists is that they are relatively easy to make into cheap persistent structures (aka functional structures), that is, structures where operations return a new immutable copy of the structure, but share most of the substructure with the previous version.

How? I thought about this for a while, but could not come up with a persistent version of skiplists.

Fukushima Nuclear Accident – a simple and accurate explanation
i've always preferred treaps to skiplists as far as probabilistic data structures are concerned. that could be partially due to the fact that i felt aragon and seidel's paper on treaps to be fundamentally better that pugh's paper on skiplists, which i recall being kind of hand-wavy with respect to the analysis.

i've had to implement both and replace many of the java collections interfaces with them as the backing store for various projects or coursework. i find the structure of the skiplists intricate and fascinating as a thought experiment, but i feel they difficult for certain things, like implementing an iterator over them. treaps, if i recall correctly, just use the normal BST traversals.

would be curious to hear comparisons on the two, being probably the most popular of the probabilistic data structures.

performance wise, i've found both to have their strengths and weaknesses under various load testing scenarios. i have some stats around here somewhere.

of course the downside with any probabilistic data structure is that you're counting on the amortized bounds, but could end up with the absolute worst case performance at times. there are so many well-documented and well-implemented libraries out there for red-black trees (the gold standard in my opinion) that it's hard to find compelling reasons besides curiosity to use them in practice.

the original papers for both of them are here (treaps):

http://faculty.washington.edu/aragon/pubs/rst89.pdf

Do you also think launching their "collaborative task and project management software" for free initially is a clever marketing move?

I think it has potential, if the software is good, to put pressure on many other project management tools out there.

However, one could argue that paying a few bucks every month is not an issue at all for most companies and they will instead go with popular products from 37 signals and others. After all managers want the "cool" product. And 37s is great in selling the cool things.

I use SQL/SSH as the admin interface at first. Then I gradually migrate things to a web-based version for tasks that are common or need to be accessible by others.

For me the slowest part about implementing most of an app's functionality is making it simple and hand-holding. For admin functionality I only do that when it's really helpful, the rest of the time it's barebones, which means it's fast to do.

Security wise I highly recommend putting all the admin functionality on a VPN/tunneled-only accessible URL/IP/Server with appropriate IP ACLs. This prevents a lot of the most common types of security mistakes from becoming big problems.

This sounds like you can only record and play back audio on Linux. A very false statement. Renoise is available for Linux and can be used in live sets.
