1997 was the year that Michael Dell gave the advice that Apple should close up shop and return the money to the shareholders.

As a company and brand, Apple was in bad shape: Windows 95 was a huge success and Windows NT was growing in the enterprise while NeXT had faltered.

Jobs really didn't have a lot in the product pipeline (the first iMac didn't come out until a year later), so the campaign needed to make employees and customers believe again in Apple.

Four years from this speech the iPod was released and OSX started to show up on desktops. It took eight years before Apple went to Intel processors.

And it took ten years of incremental improvement, discipline, product focus, and risk-taking before we got to the iPhone.
I think that it's for two reasons.

1. HackerNews originally started as a way to test Arc. It is still very much an 'experiment'. Since features are changed on the fly as part of the experiment (think orange names), it doesn't make that much sense to document them.

2. PG wishes to avoid an 'Eternal September' on HN. One way of doing this is to model the site directly towards a subset of users (hackers), and create barriers to entry/discouragements of use to the others. The design is simple, and a lot of the site's features are left undocumented. (user profile options, karma milestones for various abilities like poll-creation and downvoting) For those features, a 'hacker' would likely either a) ignore the features if the site already provided proper functionality and they were not relevant, b) be able to figure out what they do based on the names and some quick testing/playing with them, or c) be able to figure this out by Googling/searching.

They're described here, for example: http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html

>Like email, social news sites can be dangerously addictive. So the latest version of Hacker News has a feature to let you limit your use of the site. There are three new fields in your profile, noprocrast, maxvisit, and minaway. (You can edit your profile by clicking on your username.) Noprocrast is turned off by default. If you turn it on by setting it to "yes," you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.

> The reason for the distinction between killing and deleting is to avoid accusations of censorship. Anyone who does want to see the stuff killed by the editors can do it by setting showdead to yes in his profile. But it seemed right to offer submitters a more thorough sort of deletion for their own stuff.

So, basically, what I'm saying is that there's no reason to document or describe these features in a clearer manner than how they are currently documented.
Per the article, everywhere except Colorado, North Carolina, and now Illinois.
Amazon has no business relationship with the person running the ad, their relationship is with Google. The two companies are distinct entities and Amazon can easily claim to have no control over what Google does (this last bit is important because when people try to be clever and create shell companies to get around various regulations the government will try to "pierce the corporate veil" and argue that the only purpose of the shell company is to act as a hidden agent for the original company.) In the case of affiliates the states are claiming that the affiliates are acting as agents on behalf of Amazon and therefore Amazon has a physical presence in the state via those agents.
I support this one. Please, make it more like the english version of HN. It's not so kind to the eyes..

If I write {comments in code, documentation, tutorials, posts on a technical website} in English, programmers in Latvia and India who have learned English as the standard language in which computer science and software development are done can read it.

If I write it in German or Chinese or Spanish, they can't.
Okay, so the shorts pulled you out of it too? Everytime the video panned out I was like "Whoa, where are his pants!?"... then back to being mesmerized. Amazing talk.
You can download application and device driver SDKs which come with command line C++ compilers at no charge. Pretty much the same compilers MS uses to build the OS itself and its own products.

There's also a no charge "express edition" of the IDE, but it was heavily crippled last time I checked.
The message being sent is simple; Amazon is receiving an unfair competitive advantage by not paying taxes (all their prices can be lower), and the legislature is trying to figure out some way they can "force" Amazon to have a local presence through people like you. Amazon, being the 800-lb gorilla they are, just said the equivalent of, "I'm taking my ball and going home."

They did this because you were the "arm" of Amazon the legislature was trying to attack. In Amazon's eyes, it's easier just to cut off that arm than to try to support it and pay higher fees.

Well, (semi) automatic updates would be one use case, as the article details. Furthermore, many apps do require write access to at least a couple of directories to write log files and static content.
Apple has never treated third-party developers well in that sense. (There are exceptions, but they are exceptions.)

Apple’s strategy has always been to first bring in customers who are willing to pay for high quality, and then let developers fend for themselves in that environment. This was true at the time of these ads and it’s true now.

If you’re a developer, Apple isn’t going to say nice things about you, or make it particularly easy to get your app in the App Store, or give you everything for free. It’s going to give you access to a good platform with good users. Some developers seem to think this is insulting and others seem relieved.
I'm seeing similar patterns everytime I reload the page. Is this normal?
Then compile it with llvm (if you absolutely must have GCC specifically), llvm is the new default compiler in Xcode. The link above has binaries both for clang and the GCC front end.

GCC is still the default compiler; Clang is still immature.
Learned web langauges (HTML, JavaScript, PHP, mySQL, etc). Been a learning process and want to see what you think and where I can do better. Design was a definite challenge, but I think the idea and execution aren't bad. Looking forward to any and all input. Thanks in advance!

hm, how come gcc comes for free on lunux, and install is as easy as:
>> sudo apt-get install gcc
Anyone who hits the need for gcc is no longer a casual user by any average use of that term. A casual user rarely moves past opening a .dmg or .zip with an installer pkg.

A casual developer might be a different class of user ... but anyone who hits the point of writing code & installing libraries instead of applications has adequately stepped outside the role of user.

And even granting that, it is still not a firm enough basis on which to argue such an inflammatory statement as "OS X is not for developers"--when the casual developer is far better served by OS X's included toolchain than s/he is going to find in a default installation of Windows/Linux counterparts.

OS X is not "for" developers when it begins removing the tools that create the lowest barrier to entry for casual development I've seen in a default OS installation in the last 10 years (except maybe Gentoo Linux, one of the most "for developers" systems I've had the pleasure of using).
The vilified "crazy one" is Ted Turner. He was used in one of the "Think Different" print ads as well.

Requiring an exact match between deployment and development is swimming upstream, as you'll quickly introduce unintentional dependencies on specific facets of your host OS.

Plus, having to use VMs for development is even worse, why slow yourself down with non-native tooling?

Yep, SSH/SFTP integration is currently number 1 on the list, stay tuned!
Nothing specific because it's really just a library, though I'm now considering this for the next version :-) However, http://coder.io/ leans heavily on it and all of the summaries and titles there come from it.
Cool, keep up the great work! :-)

Google contradicts own counsel in face of antitrust probe
And if some people in your country want to read your code, but is unable to read english, they can't either.

So.. what you're saying is that you prioritize programmers in Latvia and India, over your fellow citizens and the community of programmers in your country?

And I'm not only talking about proffessional developers, but also CS students. As I wrote, I'm not denying that to be proficient in CS, you need to know english nowadays. I'm saying that information should be available in other languages as well.
I define it as a casual user of my libraries. Designers are the best example: they're usually hooked into the development world and would be interested in a clever command line tool, but they normally don't have an entire build chain under their belt.
It's friction, but, really. It came with their computer. You click a bunch of buttons and it's installed. The size of the install is irrelevant.

But I still have difficulty believing these casual-developers-but-not-programmers exist in great numbers. Have people told you "I was going to try your thing, but it asked for this weird gcc thing"?
The so-called 'Amazon law' is in 4 states now: New York, Rhode Island, North Carolina and now Illinois.

There are a number of states considering it, though, including California.
Of course, the flaw here is that if you take this to it's logical extreme, a world in which everybody instead spent money on Apple stock instead of buying Apple products, then Apple's revenue over that period would have become zero, and then almost inevitably the stock would become zero too.

But yeah.
Rails 3.1 will ship with jQuery as the default JavaScript library.
You have N packages and M platforms.

For a well-organized ruby gems system, they're largely orthogonal (N + M resources).

Per-platform binaries expend resources proportional to the cross product (NM resources).

You also have to set up and maintain automated build systems for every platform and they form a whole additional set of dependencies for shipping every little point release.

Avoid it whenever possible.

edit: I always did think N should come before M
Made it a little bit smaller, not as much as here, what do you think? is that good enough?
How many states does it take Amazon to lose until they change their policies? Yes I understand the legalities of it — but there is something very strange about the fact that if I buy a 99 cent app from Apple they can collect the extra sales tax but if I purchased a $99 physical item from Amazon that they feel it's too hard.

As an affiliate here in NY I run a small side biz that generates a great deal of revenue from Amazon and I hate where this thing is going (what kills me is that it's a decent source of income — but not enough to pack up my bags and get a new address).
I have managed it.
The difference is that Apple presumably has a legitimate, taxable presence in NY, whereas Amazon has none in Illinois.
the title is demonstrably untrue
Negative. C++ had the reputation of "computer science educated" back when the average CS grad could barely spell Microsoft.

Rather than "Microsoft ruined everything", nearly the entire commercial software industry standardized on C++, and entry-level "coderbots" was who they wanted to hire out of school.

C++ lost its sex-appeal because its simply more interesting to do web startup things than to be a junior coder at Big Software Inc.

I say the site is a good thing because just like HN it strives to aggregate high quality tech posts that you might otherwise miss -- it just does this for Spanish language posts, which is currently outside the scope of HN.

As a bonus for those of us who learned or are learning Spanish, it's also a great way to practice the language. :)
What do you have in mind here?
Won't work, Wal-Mart probably already bought everyone in Springfield.
>I understand someone else could provide a pre-compiled package of GCC or Clang for the community, but that is not what the author is talking about in that point.

That's what "brew install gcc" would do, so yes, they are talking about that. Precisely that. And that it would be nice to have it installed by default (no argument there). The Homebrew scripts could easily download a GCC binary and set up PATH to use it, so all someone needs to do is compile it, host it, and create a script to do so.

The entire rant about OSX requiring XCode to have GCC is fundamentally incorrect. The rest is stating a preference - that they'd like GCC installed separately, on its own, with every install of OSX.
The problem is Sarbanes-Oxley requires compliance with certain accounting practices (to be set by regulators; these are not spelled out in the act). I'm not an accountant, but as I understand the problem arises in this situation:

2005: Company X sells product Y to person Z for $1000. Company's books show $1000 in revenue.
2006: Company X gives Z a free significant upgrade to product Y and records no revenue.

The argument could be made that what really happened was that the company actually made two sales to Z; one in 2005 and one in 2006 and that the revenue of $1000 should properly be split across the two years.

Not having such a rule apparently allows various accounting shenanigans in which totally unrelated things are treated as "free upgrades" to something else and revenue can be booked in whatever year you want.

So there are two important things here for all this to be an issue:
1) The initial purchase must have cost money. If you get something for free and then get a free upgrade to it, there's no problem.
2) The magnitude of the upgrade must be such that one could be accused of slipping an unrelated product in as a "free upgrade".

So for example security updates to safari would fail test #2 above. Major updates to iTunes may fail test #1, since iTunes is generally available for free to everyone (even if you don't buy a Mac or MacOS).

It's possible that something makes Apple's accountants feel that XCode is part of the OS in a way that means that when you pay for the OS you're also paying for XCode. And that XCode 4 is enough of a change from XCode 3 that if it were free it would fall afoul of the accounting stuff above.

Again, I'm not an accountant, so I could be getting all this totally wrong...
There are lots of web apps that use update mechanisms like this one. Back in the bad old days, I remember writing something that synced code files by using some convoluted homebrew json protocol. Anyway, the point is: this kind of functionality is normally restricted by the web app, usually requiring admin privileges or some form of authentication.

For example, at work, we have a similar function that pulls down the current SVN repository onto the web servers. We've been doing this for years, it works great - but that doesn't mean people can just call these URLs from the outside. I also believe choosing an obfuscating name for the update file is not sufficiently secure.

Absolutely. I run into that frequently with my own projects. It's such a bummer to have to tell someone to go through this whole process for such a small `gem install` command.

Ask for a win-win proposition.
SOX became the trendy IT excuse for anything.

As an example from a few years ago, when I hired a contract developer, the company required a "Contractor Request Form". Fine. There's payroll to setup and so on. But then one day the form was renamed to be the "Contractor SOX Compliance Request Form".

I suspect this exercise was only so that some bean counter could show the outrageous costs of "SOX compliance".

I think so. I've done a lot of travelling abroad, and as an American who only speaks English, I was always a little bit ashamed that I could only manage one language. The shame was particularly great in poorer areas of Western Africa and India where people that didn't have half the education I did could speak four to five languages.

In fact, almost a year ago I left my job as a developer in San Francisco to accept a position in China solely for the purpose of becoming fluent in Chinese. I had taken classes in college, but those will of course never get you past the point of asking where the restroom is. I'm about 11 months into my venture, and my Chinese skills have improved by leaps and bounds (to such a point that I actually just did a full phone interview in Chinese). I took a huge pay cut to come here, but I think it's been worth it.

I can tell you that China is a very different country when you understand the language, and I'm sure this applies to every country in the world. So yes, I think it's definitely worth the effort to learn another language.

I disagree with the sentiment behind your explanation (or at least what I read into it).

It's not so much that you're bullshitting and it's turning to gold - it's that you pretend to be comfortable in a situation where you are not, and then as you get used to it you become comfortable, and then you "make it."
I love this post. The problem is that many people (including myself) are not working for (and possibly won't find) managers with this view towards hiring.

Many managers hire people as a sudden reactionary event ("we have an open rec, we've got to hire before the rec closes!"), leading to rushed hiring decisions, and then negotiation issues a year later where you ended up hiring someone (and they took the offer) out of immediacy / desperation, and the employee ends up leaving or accepts the lack of interest and doesn't work to his/her full potential.
The sox comment has been explained in numerous places. Basically because Xcode comes with a purchase of a new Mac or OSX it's considered to be part of the value delivered with that purchase. If they update it later, it is regarded as delivering additional value to the original purchase. I.e. Some of the money you paid originally is accounted as having paid for the upgrade. This means that the original transaction wasn't complete until they delivered the upgrade. This means that Apple can't record all of the 'incomplete' transaction on their balance sheet as revenue. They could work around this by holding back a percentage to cover later updates but this would be stupidly complicated and they'd still have the problem of not being able to declare it complete until they were certain of never shipping any new update. Much easier to just charge a nominal fee.

Obviously this seems like a Byzantine regulation, but it's not aimed at Apple - it's intended to stop certain kinds of fraud involving counting money received as revenue even though there is still a lot to deliver.

As for 'it's about greed' - well they do make a lot of money and that leads people to accuse them of greed. It's just a subjective judgement.

Interesting that the other examples he used were about differentiating through branding rather than the product. Apple succeeds because its product is better than the competition. I doubt many people use Apple products because they identify with the catchphrase about "changing the world for the better". They use apple products because they can do what they want to do better.
