To be fair... money has different value to different people. I doubt any billionaires would care to waste 10 minutes of other people's time to save much money, because money doesn't have that much value to them. On the other hand, college students that eat lots of ramen are already valuing money more than their own health, so it seems natural that they'd place far more value on the money, even if they place the same value on other people's time.
Blackberry is struggling, its true. But then like an individual too there are ups and downs in the life of an organization too. Yes, organizations die too but their resilience is pretty strong they don't die easy.

Blackberry is not bring disruptive innovations instead they chose iterative development that is because their customers need that kind of thing.

Besides RIM is positioning itself well in the emerging markets like India where blackberry seems to be a new craze. IMO before writing off RIM we need to wait for at least 5 more years to see how it performs. Also, it's supposedly bad performances must be reflected in the balance-sheet as well which is not the case currently.

Playbook is beating both Galaxy and Xoom to get the second position which is not bad at all.

I think ARM is developing fine for high performance work. Nvidia's Denver is probably going to be half GPU anyway, so parallel workloads will thrive on their ARM chip.

I also think a RISC instruction set is starting to look pretty nice, since (as I understand it) x86 chips break CISC instructions down to RISC-like micro-ops anyway. Why not move that process off the die (where space, power and thermal requirements are strict) into the compiler.

The transition away from PowerPC wasn't that tough in reality. If anything, it told Apple that such a change is very possible. With Windows 8 coming to ARM, it's not that big of a deal for Apple to follow suit.

I agree with both of you. I'm not entirely sure where that leaves me. Conflicted. On the one hand I fully agree that these markets are kind of silly and incentivize dickish behavior. On the other hand, both the drug users and the time-wasters are knowingly inflicting those evils upon the world and other people through their own behavior.

I think I've decided where it leaves me: upset at both the bad-market creators and at the individuals who make choices knowing the ill-effects of those choices.
Yes. Google did the original work for Jingle, but passed it to the XSF for standardization. That work has been done for some time and implementations have been appearing in various places.

Even so, I suspect it will be a long time before Skype, Apple, and everyone else does anything but try to set their own standards.

Just like the Linnode announcement, this is too early to matter but still super cool. Honestly, it will be a LONG time before users (other than us geeks) ONLY have an IPV6 address. Even when ISP's start using IPV6 to the Cable/DSL modem, there will surely be 6to4 translation. I'm not sure that _end users_ will ever see IPV6 only on their desktop, unless they really want it.

Based on my limited experiences of interning at a Japanese software company, they don't have very good training or expectation of software people. At the company I worked for the vast majority of developers they hired had little or no previous programming experience.

The selection criteria was mostly based on how well the candidates performed on an entrance examination that consisted primarily of math and science questions.

The company then spent the first few years of the employees' life there training them how to develop software.

Based on what other people told me this kind of thing is pretty common practice.
Have to disagree here. Never ever use not to exceed pricing. This is the single most dangerous type of pricing.

If you do it faster you have no benefit and if you go over you really lose badly.

With fixed fee if you are under you make extra which balances the times that you are over.

When you first start out you must use time and materials (hourly). Report expenditures at least weekly or even more often, so the client always knows where he is at and can prioritize accordingly.

Once you figure out what you are doing and have a repeatable process you can do fixed fee

If you use an agile model you will develop the most important features first. What this does is every week keeps you focused on the top priority and ensures that when the budget runs out, the most important features will be done.

The reality is that if there are 100 units of work and only 80 units are possible based on the budget, either the client will be unhappy because you told him 100 units were possible or you will be unhappy because you did 100 units of work for 80 units worth of pay.

It is much better to just do the highest priority 80 units first and then see if the last 20 units are really necessary. When they actually have a working product in front of them, often times clients will realize it isnt worth delaying to get the last few bits.

The decompilation quality really depends on how obfuscated the original code was, and how much time you care to invest. For example, I'm using Hex-Rays to decompile Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 and extend it, and now its output looks like [1] , which is a lot better than raw assembly menemonics. Though I've been digging into this game since late 2008, which is a long time.

It was for quite practical reasons: at the time I posted above comment I was about to go to bed :D I had a really good day by the way.
I have used this strategy twice, to get off at ORD while buying tickets till MKE. Both times I have approached airlines representatives to let them know that I will not be taking the last leg to save other passengers the inconvenience of waiting. Both times I have been told politely that I will be considered a no-show and it doesn't matter and they refuse to notify the boarding gate.
Well, that's fine if it's true. If it makes my next Mac even lighter, or have a longer battery life, that's a good reason to do it. Honestly, I don't care what ISA is used, and most people probably won't. Everything on the Mac app store will port over pretty easily, so doing this will be even easier than it was in 2005. All of the software I write nowadays is portable, so I don't care even from that perspective (Python, Ruby and Javascript, etc. run on anything). For me, this is about as much of a non-event as a switch to a different GPU or RAM supplier.
I have a Trimslice Dev-Kit (I'm a Gentoo developer) and I have one of the 32GB on order. There are probably other things incorrect in your comment but the main point I want to address is the "equivalent to a pentium 3"; this is definitely not the case. Just because it is a dual core running at 1ghz doesn't mean it's slow. In fact most ARM machines are slower than their equivalent chips, but not as much as people would think. An example is the EfikaMX (Cortex A-8 @ 800MHz) runs only ~20% slower than an Atom clocked at 1.6GHz. But at a fraction of the power usage. My apartment is full of ARM machines and I have a build farm of ~20 that are compiling software (Ubuntu and Gentoo) 24/7 and my power bill was 40 dollars. They also generate much less heat, and don't require fans, and most run off integrated SSD drives (PATA and SATA) so there are no moving parts at all in them. And... They are cheap. I can get a brand new ARM based netbook for 200 dollars that gives me ~ the equivalent processing of an Atom netbook of the same price... Except the Atom netbook is a refurb.

Cheaper, lower power consumption, and almost the same processing power. It works for me, sure I can't use proprietary software, or something like dropbox that requires a proprietary daemon, but I don't really miss it much. At first you notice but as you use it more, you come to realize that you really didn't need it.

"industry dream-boat Paul Irish" is where I stopped reading. eww. he doesn't even know how setTimeout works.
Why not? When we recently opened our Hackerspace a friendly e-waste dealer gave us 10 SFF Pentium 4 1.8Ghz Compaqs. He said they're not worth the effort of selling any more, and to let him know if we need more. He had palette-loads.

Last week my coworker bought an ex-government ultra-small-form-factor Dell PentiumD 3Ghz for $30 in an auction, they were selling dozens that way in single quantities for between $20-$40. 3Ghz PC with 1Gb of RAM!

A friend showed me the disposal tunnel at the local unversity, they have palettes stacked 1m high with old Pentium4-era computers and old CRT monitors waiting to be picked up for recycling. The university pays for them to be taken away.

I'm in Australia, but I expect if you look around most developed countries you'll find this is the situation - old computers all over the place scrapped, resold or shipped off-shore. The developing world is where a lot of those computers end up, so in those countries a $25 USB-stick-computer with no excess shipping cost may still be a better option than paying for shipping a crate of old machines. However, I guarantee you there is no shortage of old hardware out there.
I guess I have my weekend project. :)

I'm not sure if what Go is doing is "Duck Typing", but there's a huge difference from Python.

In Go, something implements an Interface by virtue of having the right method. No "implements" declaration is necessary. This is statically typed and safe at compile time, while Python is not.

Does anyone know what this feature/pattern is called? As far as I know, Go is the first language to have this feature. Seems different from "Duck Typing" to me..

Reference: http://golang.org/doc/go_faq.html#types

Rather than requiring the programmer to declare ahead of time that two types are related, in Go a type automatically satisfies any interface that specifies a subset of its methods. Besides reducing the bookkeeping, this approach has real advantages. Types can satisfy many interfaces at once, without the complexities of traditional multiple inheritance. Interfaces can be very lightweight—having one or even zero methods in an interface can express useful concepts. Interfaces can be added after the fact if a new idea comes along or for testing—without annotating the original types. Because there are no explicit relationships between types and interfaces, there is no type hierarchy to manage or discuss.

I checked this last week for a site I maintain, 10% of the visitors were still using IE6, and 15% of the visitors had Javascript turned off. I guess that's because that site is aimed at a certain business audience.

Another site I maintain shows numbers like 3% IE6 and 1% non-JS. What a difference!

Of course, for the first site I mentioned, we made it sure the site graciously degrades for non-JS and/or IE6 users. We don't want to lose 15% of our customers.

I meant the analogy the other way. That the USB stick computer is the Pentium 3 equivalent and the Trimslice is "four generations along the line", something like the Core 2 Duo.

Believe me, I'm extremely excited about the performance/costs power nexus of these new ARM cores. :). And well jealous of your Cortex-A8 build farm.

(I did get at least one thing wrong in my reply, which is I somehow thought the USB stick computer was ARM9 not ARM11. So it's only 3 generations of ARM before the Cortex A-9, and that's disregarding all the other lesser-used ARM cores that came between.)

PS Please don't make sweeping statements like There are probably other things incorrect in your comment, that's just plain rude.
Thank you for the reply. Very informative and the book looks like a good read.

I do sort of take offense that you state " It sounds like your son might not have the time, energy, or desire to actually read The Goal:"

How can you even state something like that? He was asking a question based upon a social studies conversation. Nothing about time energy or desire. He has this thread open in his browser to read the replies folk post and I think you have been rude with that statement.

Again though your description and links were beneficial and I can find the book on Amazon

The idea that Apple and Intel are going to part ways is not something I can see in the near(5-10 year) future. The reason why is that besides having a reliable manufacturing base, which after the Japan earthquake Apple understands the value of, Intel recently announced 3-D processors. These processors are likely to be at the state of the art for as long as the patents last. Apple has a precedent of going with the technology of the future, and 3-D chips are most likely going to be the future for a long while. Chips aside, Apple has made a major bet with Intel on Thunderbolt and it would be illogical for Apple to ditch them without a VERY good reason.
It seems the article is for "junior software developers". This allows the article a pass since junior developers do need some level of guidance in how to work in a corporate environment, and think about which aspects of it they need to give more importance to (eg communication).

The thing is, after about 10-15 years of work, it seems like one doesnt want to play games like this anymore. Bottomline: Understand programming concepts in depth which allows one to learn new languages/paradigms quickly, and pretty much everything else melts away. Being a good corporate citizen ceases to hold much charm, and the focus shifts to doing good work on one's own terms. And in the process, the realization that communication is important (not just in a corporate setting) already happens and is ingrained.

So for that kind of a developer, this article wouldnt really help. From what I have seen, the HN crowd is mostly of the latter kind.

Ask HN: I'm at a crossroads, any input is appreciated
I’m a twenty year old from upstate New York and I’m thinking about moving to San Francisco/the Bay Area. I’m a business student and I took this spring semester off to launch a startup which wasn’t very successful. I dropped that idea and tried to land an internship in the Bay Area this summer but I haven’t heard back from any of the three I applied to.

I’m learning to program but I don’t think I would be a good hacker intern because I don’t think I’m that good yet. I’d be a much better business/marketing guy at a startup.

I’m at a crossroads in my life and I could use some advice. I know this is Hacker News, but I think a lot of people in this community are much more intelligent than some of business communities I take part in.

I think I’m facing two options:

1.) Move to the Bay Area and try to find a business dev/marketing job at a startup. If I can’t I’ll work anywhere to make ends meet while I try to launch a startup of my own. I’ve been told the Bay Area is rich in entrepreneurship; upstate New York is probably the least entrepreneurial place in the country. I want to be around like minded people.

2.) My other option is to go back to school in the Fall. If I do this, I’m going to have to work to get through it. My plan would be to take a real estate course this summer and then start working as a commercial real estate agent while I’m at school. My biggest concerns with this are that I really don’t have any interest in real estate, I would be doing it just for the money and between school and real estate I wouldn’t have much time for a startup. And even if I have a successful stint in real estate I would never want to become complacent and make a career out of it, which basically just makes this a means to an end portion of my life.

Staying in school and doing real estate is a lot safer, but moving to the Bay Area would be a direct way to accomplish my goals. Do you have any advice?

Thank you for your time.

Fastest Way to Get Access to Fast Cash
The difference between what's going on with fusion today and what was going on when you were a teenager is pretty huge, actually. When you were a teenager there wasn't a gigantic international consortium (ITER) dedicated to making fusion happen in our lifetimes. The US government effort was limited to fringe experimentation; in contract, today, the NIF and France's Laser Megajoule are both aiming for net power out in the next few years. And, perhaps more importantly, unlike in the 80s there are now private startups looking to commercialize fusion processes -- that wasn't even being seriously considered 10 years ago.

Just because there isn't net power out today doesn't mean that an enormous amount of progress hasn't been made.
