I'm not an Android expert, but I think many libraries (browser, sms, phone, etc.) are basically kernel/baseband dependent (To make an hardware accelerated browser means modified GPU drivers, means new/updated kernel features, etc.), so it's almost impossible to provide an unified build of some apps on current devices (Gtalk video available only on 2.3.4 also comes to mind)

http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Another-view-of-game-piracy

To quote:

The highest estimate I've seen is that 10% of worldwide iPhones are jailbroken. Given that there are so few jailbroken phones, how can we explain that 80% of game copies are pirated?

The answer is simple -- the average pirate downloads a lot more games than the average customer buys. This means that even though games see that 80% of their copies are pirated, only 10% of their potential customers are pirates, which means they are losing at most 10% of their sales.
Rubbernet keeps an eye on all network-enabled apps running on your Mac.
It amuses me that all of the armchair economists come out in force, writing one page dissertations on why piracy is actually efficient for the market at large and creates opportunities while neglecting the fact that the app costs one dollar. One dollar. You pay more for a cup of coffee. All of their time spent being smart on the Internet (which is quite important, I'm led to believe) was more expensive than if they just bought the app (or three) to begin with.

Ridiculous.
> (...) in an untyped language, you can run code that doesn't depend on the missing APIs but happens to be in the same module as code that does depend on them.

So this advantage is about writing code that isn't intended to be compiled or run yet. I can do that in a statically typed language too: I just put the code in a comment block.

Or am I missing something here?
I think they are made public in the appendix, but not in the numbers quoted to regulators or the public. Not entirely sure though. There is a lot of fraud in general. The pharma industry recently overtook military contractors for most dollars paid out under the false claims act. If you look into what they are doing to rack up those penalties it's pretty ridiculous.

Very good points. At the MagicRuby conference this year, @pragdave said "Agile is not a noun." He went on to say something like "Agile is not what you do, it's how you do it." (I probably mis-quoted that.)

It made a big impact on me and made me realize why I had been so disturbed by how the company (that I worked for then) was handling project management. Everything was locked down. Everything had deadlines. Every process was locked in stone and decided on by the manager. Heck, they even said "This is your deadline. Tell me how many people you need to make it happen." ... And when I told them, they failed to get those people on time and still demanded on the deadline. (I left the company about halfway to the deadline as I had found a better position elsewhere, so I have no idea how they are doing on that deadline, but I can't imagine they are going to make it.)

The official languages of India are Hindi and English. All government business and most commerce and tech is done in English.

It would be impossible to support all of them.
What is the point of this article? (I mean no disrespect.)
Assuming no such thing. It's just the easiest example to hand. At Pixar we used similar techniques for rendering.
How does this work for constructors? I have the habit of guarding against poor input. If a value is null, I'll throw a null pointer exception or an illegal argument exception. While I recognize that both of these unchecked exceptions, I could just as easily throw a ModelArgumentException that extends from Exception.

The reason I throw such exceptions is that I don't want my object to be constructed with invalid state (this is especially true when my object is immutable, but has actions). Since I cannot return an Either, I believe that I must either A) throw an exception or B) allow invalid state. I don't like either solution.
Definitely not interested in another dynamically typed language, no matter how elegant.

Yea so the infrastructure comments really shocked me but it makes complete sense. They had to do massive scaling early on and a lot of what they use now is from that era. I can imagine even at google they have some sort of "if its not broken dont fix it" mentality. There is a reason why megastore is sluggish right? Its tries to uphold CAP theorem across datacenters and because of that write performance suffers.

I am well on my way to 5000 members on http://www.weekendhacker.net

I started by posting it here, forrst, startupguild and HN FaceBook group then I got picked up by a couple of other places and used that to then ask yet other places to have a look.

People have so far been very positive and that have helped me gain even more traction. It also help that I have actually connected all projects in need of help with someone who have offered to help.

Next step is to write about all the things I have learned from it. I am working on the website (got people to help me there in the spirit of WH)

What I have learned is 3 things.

1. Create as little friction for sign-up as possible. Be concise. Be personal. Be honest. The majority of my signups read the FAQ.

2. Think about social very broadly. For instance with WH I am sending out a mail with the projects structured, curated etc. Instead of people having to go to the website all the time, they receive a mail with the projects. So right now I am not depending on traffic. I am depending on making sure that everyone who have a project get offered help. (100% success rate so far). If it works by mail it will work by other means too.

3. Create boundaries for what your site is about. WeekendHacker is for very small projects. It might expand later on but now we are keeping it simple and exploring how far that will take us.

Hope this helps. I will make a bigger post about it all and then numbers next week.

How to make money from a $3000 website
II don’t believe that the $3000 client is the lost cause we often think they are. Sure, for most agencies, a $3000 website is laughable; but I would argue that these clients present tremendous opportunities.In particular, I think web designers can cash in on low-budget deals. I worked in the agency world for a long time, so it took me a while to fully accept this, but I think you will find that it’s possible.
Thanks. For what it's worth, I think you're doing the right thing and are acting responsibly, and making the best of bad situations.

Also, that's an interesting hypothesis about the Black Plague. I hadn't heard that before. Thanks for sharing.

Best of luck to you, and I'm glad we have the chance to learn from your hard-earned wisdom.
We could argue endlessly over that, so I won't. The point stands that relative to other micros, Sinclairs were really cheap. The BBC model B launched at £335 but was sold at £399. The 'cheap' Acorn Electron launched in 1983 at £199, by which time you could get a ZX81 for under £40 or a 16k spectrum for £99.
In my own experience, SCRUM is only as efficient as the scrum master and product owner. For the scrum master, it takes leadership to motivate the rest of the team and provide help when there are blockers. For the product owner, it takes a high level of organization to clearly define the sprints' tasks and meaning behind the tasks.

I agree: piracy is a problem. But here's an even bigger problem to worry about: the government believes statisticians. I have come by so many stats that are clearly wrong, and no one (sometimes not even the government) will question the math behind it. It is just believed that the source is valid and everything makes sense; especially in a case like piracy that people are aware of its effect (but not the magnitude of that effect).

My heart sank when I read this: "Ferrer said that, even if the numbers were not completely correct, there was no denying that piracy was a significant issue for the industry that was only expected to increase with the arrival of the National Broadband Network."
With respect to decision making, one thing you might encounter at a large company that you're unlikely to see in an early stage venture is management science / operations research / decision analysis. Try and learn a little - these are skills which transport across professions and industries.

But it's not just servers. You are up against physical availability of stuff, and stuff gets exponentially more expensive as you approach the limit. A programmer who is wasteful of memory on a single box will eventually reach a point where you simply can't buy more, you will have to rewrite the app to run on more machines, for example. At the small scale, sure, programmer time is expensive. But on an industrial scale, programmers are pretty cheap compared to say "building and operating an entire new datacentre".

Nitpicking : Jinan is a city, not a province. It's the capital of the Shandong province.

More relevant, it's one of the three largest military centers in China, which I'm guessing is why the attacks stem from there. This does lend credence to the idea of a government sanctioned operation.

However, Jinan is also the home to one of the top computer science schools and software engineering colleges in China, so it could be just student hackers I guess (though I'm not convinced).
It's more likely that there's nothing you -can- do. It would be nice to be prepared for it, and know your systems won't be affected by the changeover, but if you've waited until today to start thinking about it, it's too late.

I'm sorry for asking such a trivial question, but what does that mean?
ASUS does thin and light right: UX21 and X101 Photos
But doesn't this basically mean that my constructor has to allow for invalid states? Also, doesn't that mean that another object has the rules for what makes the first object valid? Isn't that a violation of separation of concerns?
Perhaps you could return an Either from the constructor, and then either have a special construct to handle Left:

myObj = new Object() :{ cleanup() }

or require dummy objects in case of failure:

myObj = new Object() ?? new DummyObject()

Admittedly less than optimal. The more I think about it, the more I think it's a bad idea... The first still means that you need a separate catch block for each statement. The second is essentially swallowing the exception.

Aside from that, using Either in the return kills your ability to do method chaining, unless you build method chaining into an operator and have it propagate the Either (similar to bind).

It's a common theme in mathematics to show an equivalence between two structures. We don't do it because it's fun, it's because if there exists an equivalence or some other relationship, we can use the existing body of work in one field in another.

For example, group and ring theory often starts with the concept of symmetries, but it can then be shown, through an equivalence (or in mathematical terms, an isomorphism) that these have a relationship to polynomials. From that, we then easily show that there is no general formula for polynomials of degree greater than 5. Two vastly different fields, actually sharing something, and having a very useful result. Similarly for finite state machines and monoids.

If you can express something as something else, you have the opportunity to shed light on it's structure and hence learn something new about it. Yes lots of things share that structure, it just so happens that monads are quite a general structure, that doesn't mean that no interesting results are attached to them.
