I agree with his points (now): It's not the pride in itself (we can argue if that is helpful, but that's not what mhd critizises). It's the phrase used (or - a couple of phrases, plus maybe the general tone) that leads to really nasty subtext.

The translation is incomplete. He didn't write "Ich bin stolz auf Deutschland" (I'm proud of Germany), he used "Ich bin ein stolzer Deutscher" (I'm a proud German), a phrase that is heavily (ab)used by the far right, the extremists.

It's not the number of contributors that count but the total cost of their contribution. That tip actually costs a lot. The good old Pareto rule may well apply here as well.
But however it is, if the market doesn't pay for it, then it's not needed. Also if the market is only willing to pay a fraction then there is probably a need for some innovation so that they can cut the costs.

I'm actually going to agree with him when he says 'This is too hard.' I think he has a point.

Having written apps in VB, C, C#, Java, Mirah, PHP, Ruby and others, most of them make things hard that should be simple. Ruby generally doesn't, though. I've heard the same about Python, but not tried it.

To make a button work in C# or Java, there's a ton of boilerplate code that needs to be written. Since it's boilerplate, why haven't they abstracted that away? (Mirah tries to, but it has some limitations that leave most code still just as verbose.)
You should definitely NOT be putting auto-login links into every email without very careful thought and planning. People routinely forward emails to their friends and colleagues, or copy links and post them on twitter.

It's obvious that a password reset link should not be forwarded, but a monthly newsletter?

Maybe because people expect better from an aircraft maker. You'd think they'd have some kind of realistic view on matters, but it looks like they hired a sci-fi author to do their PR.
I would also make each link only auto-login at most once per message (or maybe once per week across any message). You could also make the auto-login fail if any images from the message have previously been loaded from a different IP.

But there's no safe way.
Well, they were pushing stuff out of first year and in to second year. They then moved stuff out of second year to cater for this (beyond this I wasn't there, so I cannot comment if it quite filtering down in the following years).

Does Flash have a direct OpenGL API, trivially wrappable to JS?

IIRC JoGL is a thin JNI wrapper around libgl. As such it exposes the OpenGL C API quite directly, which in turn gets wrapped to JS, probably through some automated generator and a sprinkle of glue code.
So, uh, why the downvotes with no comment?
I can't say that either of us represent the majority of smartphone users, but I find it interesting that my wife and I have different approaches:

I'll almost always shop by screenshots. If an app looks hideous, I'll assume it was created by slovenly, hateful people and pass on it. If it looks lovingly crafted, I'll try it. As the latter will usually be a paid app, this again reinforces the idea that someone has put some effort into it.

My wife, however, will just get the cheapest app. In fact, she'll get several free ones. Right now she has about five different pregnancy apps, all free. She's generally of the camp that argues that there's always going to be a free app that does the same thing, so she rarely pays for apps.

Now I'm pretty sure there are more people in the world like my wife. But I'm also sure that developers are making vastly more money out of people like me. But who knows.
They are free to roam inside their prison cell. Nobody is really free, just our average prison cell is bigger. Where does a real free market (as you might subconsciously imagine it) exist? It would have to be anarchy at least - why am I not "free" to take my neighbor's land to build a factory there? Only in anarchy I would be really free, I could shoot my neighbor and take his land. Unfortunately he could also shoot me first, but that is the price for the truly free market.

Unless you want to propose anarchy, you have to propose some policies alongside your supposedly free market, such as property laws enforced by the state/military. There goes you free market down the drain.

My point was that "let the free market sort it out" is not a strategy. It does not contain any actionable information, as you still have to define the actual rules of your "free" market.

To make a better example than shooting my neighbor to take his land: why am I not free to dump my waste on his land? Would a free market (allowing me to dump my waste on his land) somehow sort out that I wouldn't dump my waste on his land?
So, the one with the most time before it's breached is the safest.

Does flash have OpenGL support these days?

I investigated options for making a 3D web game two years ago, and back then Flash was still limited to 2D polygons and no depth buffer. There were some '3D engines' but those did all vertex transforms manually instead of using the GPU...
Where are you getting the idea that the next iPhone is coming out soon? Base on rumors? By definition, normally the iPhone would have been out now if it was following the old pattern. Rumors have speculated Fall as well as early 2012. It's all speculation at this point.

I think the strategy has more to do with increasing reach and sales and maybe possibly due to the fact that they're potentially working on a dual GSM and CDMA compatible phone and may want to sell direct vs through a partner. Could be part of a larger plan (of course this is all my speculation as well).
Have you ever been to Point B? It's pretty awesome.

There's beaches there, and it's sunny and warm every single day. They have little thatched huts you can rent and a chilled bar with hammocks and cheap cold beers and a table full of Australian girls that seem to want to talk to you.

Point B also has world class snowboarding that blows the doors off that little mountain near your home town. And rock climbing and surfing and Mayan pyramids and the freaking Eiffel Tower.

I, for one, don't plan to quit going there at any point in the next 50 years.
The not-fully-trusted user paradigm is actually pretty common in websites for changing your password (enter old password, new password, and new password confirmation). The main reason, as I understand it, is to limit the damage made possible by session hijacking.

Session hijacking and the wrong person auto-logging in are actually the same thing on a technical level; the difference is semantics. In both cases, a logged-in user is not the owner of the account.
Quick Launch Page w/ a cute owl doodle
Yesterday my Co-founder and I hacked together a quick launch page for our new startup service: http://superowl.me/

It was quick, fun and we decided to say what it is rather than be enigmatic at this stage.

I drew a doodle of our mascot - The Super Owl and I think his scribbly appearance will take us through to the alpha testing phase without need for too much time spent on branding etc.

I'm curious as to how much money and time startups spend in the very early days of branding.

On another note or comment I should say... we (the Super Owl team) are very psyched about making audio as cool and sexy as video has become.

That's all folks.... I'm always keen to get constructive feedback :)
the thing is, the tax is already being levied. And it's generally considered a tax on the customer doing the buying (who does live within that state) If the merchant is also within that state, the merchant is expected to collect the tax. If the merchant is out of state, the consumer is supposed to keep track of and pay 'use tax'

The argument here is not over if the tax should be paid or not, or even over who should pay the tax. the argument is over who should collect the tax; the states want the retailers to collect because that's likely to lead to increased compliance, and the retailers want the state to collect, 'cause that makes out of state goods look cheaper to people who plan to not report their use tax.
Maybe overly pedantic, but I don't like http://www.exploringbinary.com/wp-content/uploads/27.decimal...

For the tens you're counting lines of blocks, and for the ones you're counting blocks, so it doesn't match up. Maybe if the ones were lined horizontally so you're still counting vertical lines, they just happen to be 1 block tall instead of 10 blocks tall.

Spy Am I: How this location-based mobile MMOG helps build brand loyalty
Well, the Soviet Union was certainly innovative in certain areas - they did, after all, get the first satellite and human into space.

The point isn't whether "the free market" or the "will of the proletariat" will solve all the world's problems through innovation. The universe does not care for our beliefs. Either the current environmental and energy crises are solvable through human ingenuity (by "solvable" I mean that we can continue world economic growth and rise in living standards indefinitely) or they are not; if they are not it really doesn't make any difference whether you follow Ayn Rand or Karl Marx.

It's not that easy. The pressure difference between the inside and outside puts a great amount of strain on the fuselage. I think what they do is just reduce the rate at which the pressure changes.

> The problem is that this line of thought automatically devalues everything not from your own country if it can be compared to something from your own country.

No. Valuing something does not automatically devalue everything else. If I say "I like German food", I'm not implying that I'm not liking Korean food or something.

People really are capable of liking more than one thing.

In consequence I don't see any problem with loving your country, as long as you don't take the step of hating or devaluing everything else.
Anyone know if this can be used on 3G networks in Europe? I mean for high speed data, not just speech or EDGE.

Im asking since 3G is on different frequencies in US and Europe. My US version Palm Pre for example cant connect to European 3G networks for data use, only speech is possible.

There's a difference between witty but offensive, and just offensive for offensive sake. Just being offensive is juvenile humor, and isn't all that funny. I can watch some comedians stand on stage and say a bunch of things that make me think, 'I can't believe he just said that', but I'll be laughing the entire time. Or I can watch a movie that just plays one poop joke after another and not laugh once. His review sounds like he thinks the game is the latter. I don't see how you can extropolate from that to 'the reviewer has no sense of humor'.

According to this Robber Baron apologist, I am 10 times better off than I was in the 50s. Lets see, my dad, in the fifties could afford from his average salary to buy a new car every 2 years. Guess what in my so called better life, I buy a new car every 15 years. yea thats progress. I think this tool lumps the progress of the top 2% in with the rest of us smucks to come up with his baloney good news. The average wage buys less today than it did years ago, plus the average wage is falling and benefits are disappearing. The good news just keeps coming...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDraw

TheDraw was used mostly in the BBS scene to create ASCII/ANSI art for the BBS's log in screen and menus. There was an entire sub-community of artists back then.

To be fair, the website is a diagram tool that outputs ASCII, while TheDraw more more like a ASCII/ANSI illustration tool.

I didn't find any galleries of ANSI art out there but this page has a few screenshots: http://icodeforfood.com/shockwave-bbs/
This may be the ugliest site I ever submit, but the Register's coverage managed to misspell CPAN as CPAM (still not fixed), so I couldn't link to it.

Either way, the story is interesting, and I didn't realize that the developer behind Phenona was only 15.
I can see 2 possible reasons for this:

(1) it's more profitable for Apple to sell phones in the US and have them greymarketed to China then to increase the direct supply to China.

(2) Apple wants to (eventually) expand the iPad data only plan available to phones and this is a first step towards that. And if they did this I would jump on it in a second.
11 websites driven by powerful, dramatic photography
Photography is one of the most potent tools in the designer’s toolbox. It is no surprise that it is used all over the web. And in the small subset of websites featured in this article, we find photography used very prominently. The samples shown here focus so heavily on photography that you hardly notice the brands behind them.
Can you tell which these frequencies are? From my previous understanding, while there are many frequency bands for 2G, there's only one for 3G (2100 MHz)

“We opposed this new tax law because it is unconstitutional and counterproductive,” Amazon said in a letter to its Connecticut affiliates. “It was supported by big-box retailers, most of which are based outside Connecticut, that seek to harm the affiliate advertising programs of their competitors. Similar legislation in other states has led to job and income losses, and little, if any, new tax revenue.”

First, "drop dead" is not mentioned by Amazon anywhere. The article title looks a lot like linkbait. Not upvoted. It also looks to pander to a political viewpoint.

Second, as far as I can tell, if you wanted to find the real political story here (since this is a story with both tech and political overtones) is that the big box retailers are looking to put the squeeze on their competition, and using government to do so. Yes, states are in dire straits, and yes, there are good arguments on both sides of the issue. But -- follow the money. Who stands to gain from higher-priced internet goods? Who stands to lose? Remember that, as an internet user, I'm free to purchase offshore as well. The big box guys know that. They know that the states will not receive one-tenth the amount they dream of. They're just happy to be throwing rocks in Amazon's way -- and using the government to do so.

I remember many years back when Microsoft had to start paying for lobbyists in D.C. The big buzz in the tech community was confusion: why would a company that made computer programs need lobbyists?

Of course now the answer to that question is all too clear: just like every other industry, some players played fast and loose with the rules, government intervened, and suddenly everybody had their checkbooks out to keep from getting squashed (and to squash the other guys as much as possible.)

Depends on the carrier. It took five minutes on the phone with T-mobile to unlock my Vibrant.
That was very interesting, thanks, but it says nothing directly about planet-wide population growth; only that family sizes tend to get smaller and infant mortality rates to decrease as a societies get richer - less people are born but they tend to live longer.

My original point is that if the population is increasing at all, that will at least partially offset gains in efficiency brought about by newer technologies, and since population growth compounds over time, we'll need to make bigger and bigger gains just to maintain the status quo in terms of absolute energy and resource usage.
I'm not sure roads is the best example to give here. Doesn't Amazon benefit from the state maintained roads since it would be difficult to get its order delivered without them?

Although as his been said, Sales Tax is usually regarded as a tax on consumer consumption rather than a tax on business which is why business to business sales are often exempt from sales taxes.
But it isn't, tho'. Sure people might say they want clean energy, but to see what people truly believe, you have to observe how they spend their own money, given a choice of alternatives. And it's on air travel, cars and ever-more personal electronics and electrical mod-cons.
I just finished DNF and I actually liked it.

It's not a game I would like to play more than once but in my opinion, it was worth his pre order price.

There're parts which appear unfinished and can't be missed, but DNF can be a entertaining game if you can look over it.
The Golden Era of Entrepreneurship
Where in Europe? iPhone supports HSDPA on 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
Most categories break down if you stretch them far enough. That does not mean that they are not useful. Fare from it. Usually, there is some common understanding what words mean. For example, if I say “forest” most people will know what I mean, without arguing that there are no real forests only single trees [1]. Just as most people will agree, that markets in the western world are free (or more free) when compared to markets in Soviet Russia (the term “black market” should have tipped you off).

[1] In the same manner one could argue that fossil oils really are renewable resources if the time frame under consideration is chosen to be long enough.
yes. this confused the heck out of me. the units need to be horizontal, or (when using physical objects) the multiples could be piled on top of each other. as it is, it's just misleading.

Whats the big deal here? I bought an unlocked iPhone4 in Toronto, Canada 6 month ago at the apple store?
The iPhone is a global GSM phone, so it should work with 3G networks in Europe as well, since it is the same hardware that is sold on European carriers.

Was your Palm Pre purchased on T-Mobile's network? T-Mobile phones use lower frequencies for 3G that make them incompatible for 3G data with pretty much any other carrier.
I predicted this a few months back when news about the upcoming AT&T/T-Mobile merger first leaked. I'm guessing that they've already settled (tentatively) on the price they'll be charging, and at this point with no other (real) GSM competitors in the States, there's no real reason to keep Apple from selling an unlocked version in the States.
Erlang has a slightly different but largely equivalent model, but the other alternatives you mention lack Go's channels and/or the select construct which is one of the greatest things about the language.
