Information about the Libyan rebels has been on the frontpage of the news for weeks, I don't think a cable TV show is what they need right now. Their message is definitely out there, and it's being echoed by top US officials. Just a few days ago Hillary Clinton addressed the AU urging them to join in the call for Gaddafi to step down. While it is fascinating (and frightening) to see what these people are going through, I don't think a show on the Discovery Channel about how to refurbish and modify weapons seized from the military is an appropriate thing to talk about. If you want to talk about the journalists and the difficulties they face when trying to document events like these, that's fine.

Actually no, it needs to say the name properly to be counterfeit. (i.e. you have to claim to actually be the company, not merely imitate their goods).

Messing up the name makes it a knockoff. Basically if you can easily tell by looking who really made it then it's not counterfeit.

And either way it's certainly not "pirate" or "bandit".

Absolutely.

Facebook's behemoth social graph will easily steamroll over any new effort in this space. Color/Path/Instagram will need some insane differentiation in order to win this battle.

Doing the fundamental 'compound lifts' at around 80% of your 1RM(1 rep max) for <=5 reps is great for whole body conditioning and gaining functional strength. I'm talking Squats, Deadlifts, and BenchPress with an olympic bar.
Freeweights are great at simulating life on a farm and the resulting conditioning. :)

Mark Rippetoe's 'Starting strength" is the bible for beginners to barbell training. Guy called Mehdi has made a 'SS for dummies' -style course, that I currently follow. Its called 'Stronglifts-5x5' and is loved and hated in equal measure by elite lifters.

Saved old PDF manual from his site: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5137/stronglifts-5x5.pdf

I've gained 15kg on my 110kg frame, lost 3 inches from my 50inch gut, and turned my legs to rock in 2 months of sticking to it. I believe the gained muscle weight will be offset once i lose another 10 inches of flab off the torso. Fingers crossed. :)

My 5x5-Squat went from 100lbs to 250lbs in the same period.

In South Africa, the terms "junior developer", "developer" and "senior developer" are used in job ads/specs. I haven't seen the word "programmer" for a while here. Maybe here it's people who work with older technology (mainframes etc) who are called programmers, and people who work with modern technology are called developers.

Overall, I think this is a pointless discussion that gets resurrected by blog writers (or are they "authors") periodically, and doesn't add much to the field.

Well the differentiation will come from having better control over who sees what.

Facebook is a collection of all your friends/family/people you kinda know and so fouth. We still need services that are specialized and cater to certain groups within your social circle and I can totally see Color/Path/Instagram/Whatever take and prosper from holding that position.

But then again Im not really a fan of Facebook and perhaps Im missing some core functionality that actually already exists within Facebook.
> Whether it requires an allocation or not, it's an annoyance. This is just an example of behavior that is counterintuitive w.r.t interfaces.

If I had a 1GB []byte and passed it in to a function taking an []interface{}. I think it would be really counterintuitive that the function call would allocate 16GB of memory. While passing it to a function taking a []byte would allocate no memory at all. You can't avoid this allocation.

It's been considered that it might be nice to be able to convert between slices of different interfaces and this might happen, but it's not going to happen for slices of types for the reason above.

The special case of auto-converting a type to an interface on assignment is a bit weird and creates endless confusion for new people coming from different language as it makes Go's interfaces look like they are the same as Java or C++'s. But once you understand it, then it makes sense.

In Java an Interface and an Object are very similar, they both have a set of virtual methods and interfaces just verify that the type you're passing in has the expected set of virtual methods to implement the interface. Converting an array of Java Objects to an array of Java interfaces doesn't require anything at runtime.

In Go, a type and an interface are very different, a type has static methods and an interface has virtual methods.

Lasers aren't really that dangerous, unless they're especially bright. They have a classification written on the side which should give you some indication of whether they're weak or strong.

The really weak laser pointers won't do any worse than make you see spots for a little while, as I can tell you from personal experience.

That said, there are lasers that you have to be very careful of. The laser-pointer level, though, is generally quite safe.

At the Keynote Stece Jobs had a bulletpoint "no Ads". I like that.

I do think my data is safe and private at Google (not so much trust in Yahoo and Facebook), but I am certainly looking forward to iCloud. Example: Gmail is a really good and free email-provider, but it also really sucks if you go through times that suck like a break-up and the adsense advertising is mirroring the unpleasant mails stored in your inbox.
Assuming Color et al. have no incredible innovation up their sleeves, any data set they would be gathering is most likely a subset of what Facebook already has on their graph.

In that case, Facebook is very well positioned to execute faster and better in that space.

though deep down i agree that this probably means big trouble for a lot of other companies in the photo sharing space, there are some innate differences that could keep other companies afloat (even COLOR!)

one of the big differences i can think of off the top of my head at 3am is that FB still isn't really about discovering new friends. You meet people in real life, then you friend them on Facebook. Not vice versa.

As far as I can tell, something that Color is expanding into is creating this "temporary" social network where you share photos with anybody within a certain location. It isn't as much about sharing photos with friends that you already have, as it is about discovering new people and the photos they're taking around you.

Based on widespread privacy concerns that Facebook has had to deal with, I'd say it's unlikely that this app involves social discovery. It's probably another friend, photo-sharing app, with the permissions of sharing mirroring what happens on the Facebook webapp.

Because you read Wikipedia on a screen and serif fonts on screen are harder to read? That's my opinion, I bet others prefer serif fonts even on screen, but I feel that they make it a lot harder to read.
Maybe, maybe not. But so what? Apple has never been about mass market (perhaps excepting the iPod). If you want the best possible experience and "it just works" and you can afford it you will get the iPhone. That niche may not be the largest but so far it has been the most profitable.

Market share is the runner-up prize for those who value a large community of vocal spendthrifts.

People aspire to an iPhone, they settle for Android.

Because sans-serif is easier to read. It even says that on the page you link to:

> I don't think languages should be privileged in regard to types.

C++, relatively speaking, is not "privileged" with regard to types, but that lack of privilege is bought with great pain, particularly in exception safety mixing with copy constructors. The lack of semantic guarantees when overriding operators - like assuring the unsuspecting library user that x += y does something similar to x = x + y - can also be a genuine problem. Java evaded the whole thing for quite justifiable reasons, IMO, and C# implements operator overloads in relatively specific ways to avoid some of these problems - and still doesn't let you have copy constructors, assignment operators, or destructors on value types.

By baking in certain assumptions about types into the language, the commonality across all code written in the language is increased, and the costs of documentation and communication at independently developed library boundaries is reduced. There are also other benefits; with baked-in knowledge, the language may support value literals for specific types in the lexer and parser. Doing this in a non-"privileged" way would require macros or compiler plugins, which are themselves undesirable for a whole set of other reasons.
"Cyber warfare" has far more in common with international espionage than actual warfare. China and the US have been constantly spying on each other for 65 years, maybe longer. Rarely do such actions constitute grounds for a war.

The big differences now is that the espionage extends to a significant number of non-government actors, and that there's a greater degree of plausible deniability to any attacks. Still, the Chinese are capable of physically blowing up a lot of American infrastructure (and vice versa), and the Chinese may be capable of disguising a physical attack as a terrorist attack.

Cyber-warfare is another vector allowing states to attack each other, but it's still less powerful than conventional warfare, and not that much more powerful than conventional espionage.
Here's a news posting from an academic site:

"I'd expect my friends to not expect me to visit them for elusive reasons like "emotional support". I would never expect a friend to visit me when I'm sick, because I know that I'll be another person."

And that right there is exactly why Americans make such better friends than Austrians.

There is a huge cultural difference and I honestly am not surprised that the depression and suicide statistics are so much higher in Austria -- a rich land where a person's basic needs will always be assured -- than in the US.

> Converting an array of Java Objects to an array of Java interfaces doesn't require anything at runtime.

It potentially costs every time you put something into the array - Java arrays are covariant. Either a runtime check is needed, or the JIT compiler will have to create a proof that any particular array access is to a consistently typed array.

It will probably be easier to read there, because it's long.
Lots of people are nice to others because they enjoy being a good person. I know my American friends would have been over, cooking me meals and making sure I didn't go stircrazy, and trying to cheer me up. I know because I've experienced it. They volunteered to be up at crazy hours so I could text them when I was having surgery and feeling bad... in Austria. They sent me funny pictures and videos, even physical goodies, to cheer me up from over the ocean. I've had American friends volunteer to take me to the emergency room at midnight on a work night, and stay with me the whole time, even though it was 5am and clear I was not in any danger and I told them they should leave. And then two other friends pretended to be angry that I didn't call THEM in the middle of the night to let them know what was going on. I said, "You'd really want me to wake you up?" and they said "YES!"

Why? Because they love me and they're good people. I love them, too.

Austrians make terrible friends, in my experience, because they think like you.

They are so terrified of "losing" something by being connected to people -- so absolutely horrified at the idea that they might be "taken advantage of" -- they they shut themselves down and make no serious connections at all, living a life with only fairweather friends and no one they can truly trust to stand by them.

It's really incredibly sad.
