edit: Even though I haven't used it, Newspeak (http://newspeaklanguage.org/) seems really interesting as well. Though I'm not sure if it's still being actively developed. Gilad Bracha's blog (http://gbracha.blogspot.com/search/label/Newspeak) explains a lot of the concepts. I find it especially interesting because like Smalltalk and Lisp it seems to be based on a small set of powerful primitives.

Its a punt for the future. I'd hope that in 8 years a replacement battery has twice the capacity at a quarter the cost. If it doesn't and nothing better has emerged, the electric car is probably screwed as a concept anyway. I'd then hope there's more oil than we think.
What would be really nice is if law was machine-readable (and interpretable). But that would probably require computers being able to understand language.
I'm not sure the network effect of FB will be so hard to turn over. The point is there are a lot of people (or people aspects) not on Facebook. Most engineers I know aren't on Facebook and none of them would use Facebook for work practices. If Google+ is good enough for distributed workgroups, it could be a hit.

I have fond memories of his classes (took 2). Possibly the only lecturer I've ever met who was actually trying to help his students get jobs by organizing networking events. Astounding.
I've spent the past 10 years working in global corporate law firms as a software developer and have witnessed this change first hand. The legal profession is based around chargeable hours. This is not a good deal for the consumer of legal services. Billing by the hour does not encourage lawyers to work more efficiently or effectively, in fact it rewards the opposite. Recently larger clients have started to stand up to the legal firms and demand that work should be done on a fixed fee basis or a shared risk/reward basis. Suddenly lawyers are beginning to to act like business people and are looking at improving their own internal efficiencies now that their fees are capped. One example of this are lawyers trying to empathise more with their fixed fee clients' business strategy and point out legal pitfalls before they happen - wow a proactive lawyer! Observing how much money law firms are currently investing on improving their efficiencies then I think what we are witnessing is a shift to a new model and not just a blip.
I use Virgin Atlantic for all transatlantic flights, and they do offer internet access, just not WiFi. The screens in the backs of seats can be used to read a very limited number of news stories, and you can also send (and possibly receive, can't remember) emails. I rarely bother to use it, the interface is so bad, so I might be forgetting some features.

So, communicating with the internet isn't the problem, they just don't offer a network for customers to join with their own devices (possibly for cost purposes, possibly they have bandwidth worries or possibly they just haven't got round to it yet.)
Hey Pete, I'd like a single company for ease. Or at least a design company who quote all in and handle the dev relationship.
It's a big problem, at least for our application (chattybar.com - a chat plugin). We have 2 copies of every chat message sent, one in the DB (for persistency) and one in Redis for quick retrieval. Keeping them synced has a lot of edge cases, especially since multithreading means that adding things to the DB and then to Redis doesn't necessarily guarantee they'll end up in the same order.

"Still, it bothers me when it says "logged in" in the google bar at the top because google watches my searches."

I think Facebook does the same - or at least attempts to, through the use of cookies (via embedded apps, and the Facebook comment system).

I think it's about time Facebook had some serious competition - and I'm hoping that Google+ could provide a good alternative.

In relation to the Myspace, Facebook provided an iterative progression. Since its introduction, social networking has obviously become so much more important. I think it's far more difficult for Facebook to iteratively change the paradigm its developed because its users aren't used to change. User re-education is difficult.

From what I've read, Google+ is going to offer some valuable features missing from Facebook. The circle idea appeals a lot - and I like the sense that the platform seems to be geared as one tool in a suite of social utilities, rather than an all encompassing monolith.

"Circles? Actually I think that many people like the idea of their posts are being read by as many people as possible and not just the ones with similar interests [..]"

I don't agree - some people might want everyone to read their posts, but I think that's a small subset of the general population.

Re. your example; on the flip-side, I think an awful lot of the non-techies will quickly get bored of hearing about about Android API woes. Circles will provide them with a way to choose, and choice is something which is almost universally lauded.
Seven small-business mistakes to avoid
From what I know of Google (knowing more every day as I'm reading In the plex), they certainly did a whole lot of A/B testing before choosing this black bar. It nonetheless sticks out unpleasantly. I really dislike it. Yahoo News has a dark blue bar which is a lot more pleasant.
When using a personalized background image, it also is somewhat better. But on the standard Google page, meh.

I have very positive memories of playing Graham Nelson's Curses. Nelson implemented the Inform language so that he could write Curses, making it a landmark game in modern IF games.

The game is like the best of the Infocom games in how it builds up a world in terms of initially confusing parallels that start to fit together like jigsaw pieces; it's achievement is that it does this in a more sophisticated and rewarding way, to my taste at least. It takes as much time to complete as the bigger of the Zork games.

You can play it online at:

That sounds like a terribly neurotic, obsessive compulsive future.
Same here! I usually end up describing them all as relatives.
If they feel threatened enough by Circles, I have no doubt that they will make it more visible, and available on all platforms.

That said, it's surprising how few people, even tech savvy ones seem to know about the functionality even though it's been around for ages. In fact, FB used to have a "how do you know this person" question when you added a friend, and they confirmed the relationship when they accepted, which is gone. It could be that they believe that most users don't want to segment their friends by categorizing them.
I'd say CLOS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp_Object_System) & Moose (http://moose.perl.org) myself.

However I do like Prototype based OO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-oriented_programming) and especially its implementation in Io (http://www.iolanguage.com)

I think they did this to promote the menu bar to all non-tech or non-internet people. I can think of a lot of people who might see the bar for the first time because it itches their eye (my mum for example). It's kind of a meta-element made for browsing the googlesphere (aka internet?). I like it.

But they still have this _blank opening new tabs for mail, cal and everything. That's just bad.
Woman dies of heart attack at own funeral
What? 30mpg is around 7.8l/100km! All three cars I've driven so far consumed around 5 l/100km (gas) or around 4.5l/100km (diesel). All of them could seat four people and had enough room in the trunk to fit a week of groceries for four people.
What is tacked-on about this?

copy.copy: Who don't you "from copy import copy"?

self.x: It explicitly distuingishes between local variable and field access, which is the Right Thing in my opinion.

I do not understand, what this has to do with OOP at all.
Just 3 things that come to mind, I don't know if that is what you are looking for. It is coming from more of a C# and Java angle, than a Ruby and Python angle.

* People like Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin popularising and extending the ideas of Bertrand Meyer with i.e. SOLID principles, and design ideas focussed on quality and maintainability.

* Domain Driven Design, also in some sense a rehashing of old ideas but combined with some new ones as well.

* Service Orientation and Component Orientation could both be seen as extensions of OO to higher level design and architecture.
That'd be a neat trick. Not even the humans can understand legal language. Perhaps the singularity begins with an expert system suddenly grokking the entirety of law, resolving the paradoxes and contradictions, and then suing all humanity for infringement. Hard-takeoff trolling...
That's a bit misleading comment IMO. All the things that you mentioned, like JS, are OO, true. But I wouldn't say that they represent the state of the art of this paradigm at all, basically for two reasons. The first one is that pretty much everyone uses these languages in a more or less "procedural programming" manner. I cannot find many examples of people taking advantage of what objects, inheritance and polymorphism are. The second reason deals pretty much with this last statement. Even though people are not using properly the advantages of OOP in this kind of languages (myself included), most of the developers that I have contact with are using properly and taking advantage of the variety of characteristics of OOP in their Java, C#, programs. No matter if they are web projects or not. Nowadays I am trying to push myself harder to use OOP when programming in Ruby but it doesn't feel as natural as when I write code in Java.

This Isn’t The Way To Increase Your Userbase, SoSasta
That sort of thing goes out when advertising and paying for games and such via the system come in. People having many connections means that if someone lets you app in or "likes" the page directed to by your ad then you get a change to advertise to all those people on that one person's list of contacts. This is attractive to the advertisers, and makes paying money to facebook a better value proposition.

Facebook want you to be connected to as many people as possible because this network of connections is essentially what they sell. Just like Google, with facebook you are the product that is sold to the advertisers (the difference being that currently with facebook your friends are the product too, though that difference is set to vanish if Google can get the social thing right enough to attract a critical mass of users).

Smalltalk should be a very good source of inspiration, if you're looking for an OOP reference i believe the smalltalk folks have things to say.

Being more of a lisper, I think stateless objects describe problems better suited for functionnal style and pattern matching. Relying on the type system of the implementation is a very unspecified aspect of a language. May be ok though if you know it is fast.

Rubyists still have blocks and closures, bringing in a lot of functional style, almost unnoticed.

The styles are complementary, finding the best one for the problem at hand is the art of program designers.

This article is spot-on (I'm one of the few on HN that have worked as an attorney in biglaw).

One theme it barely touched is that, like any other technology, legal innovations inevitably get commoditized. Fundamentally, law firms have been unable to properly adjust to this commoditization due to a lack of technology (outsourcing is a short term solution). The only solutions they come up with are to cut overhead costs, which only gets you so far.

The big picture for the legal industry, is that you have extremely bright young people fleeing the industry because this lack of technology forces them to do this mundane commoditized work. And like any commoditized product, the basis for competition ends up on price, which ends up just forcing these people to handle intense amounts of mundane commoditized work. This is obviously not sustainable, if you want to maintain a law firm with the best and brightest legal minds. It's my observation though, that most partners in a position to do anything either do not see this or do not care (because they'll be gone by the time things fall apart anyways).
At I/O they seemed to be talking about some automated hinting process to try and fix this. It won't be as good a something hand-hinted by a professional but it might be good enough for some uses.
I didn't say they sell our data (although I honestly can't say for sure, since there are a number of things Google employees aren't allowed to talk about). I'm talking about the fact that Google builds huge databases about its users, and the fact that Google is in the US where the authorities have easy access to said databases.
The market is not shrinking; the problem is access to justice for ordinary people who cannot afford $500 an hour. Also, perverse incentives like "No win, no fee" encourage settlements and litigation without helping those who have been genuinely wronged or have an actual case that needs to go to trial.
A visual language called G exists. It is forms the backbone of LabVIEW (a product of National Instruments [NI]). You could use it like any other programming language to solve problems. IMHO it is quite powerful. However, LabVIEW's real strength lies in providing an easy interface for data acquisition from cards, again by NI, specifically built for the purpose. LabVIEW is pretty much ubuquitous in university labs.

Edit: There is also Agilent VEE.

Well, CLOS may be state of the art in very fine designed,exhaustively redefinable, roll-your-own aspect oriented programming, and the most exhaustive object oriented paradigm for the most fluid pragmatic language ever.

But I doubt you'll find useful sources for programming style searching for it.

If you are implementing an object-oriented paradigm for your programming language, it's a very recommendable source to discover what can possibly be done with OOP.

Chrome Extension Adds Facebook, Twitter Sharing To Google+
Rails and Django emerged at a time when RDBMS ruled, and they were both built around an ORM. Now you have more database options that have less of an impedance mismatch, but because Rails and Django are so ORM-centric, forgoing the RDBMS in favor of another option means you now have a framework mismatch.

And Rails & Django were (at the time) also built around a specific ORM. Compare this to Catalyst, which also came out same time as Rails & Django, was built from the ground up with an agnostic model and thus could use any ORM available or easily adapt to different data models.
And a research project, a partnership between the law school and the CS department of a university...

EDIT: just saw swampthing's comment below, such things exist.
OTR is only suitable for real time communication. For posting messages on facebook (as for email) you would use PGP. This used to be possible using Firefox with the FireGPG Addon, but the developer stopped working on it and a release wasn't even made for Firefox 4.

FireGPG was brilliant. It would detect blocks of PGP in the page, and add "Decrypt/Verify" links to the appropriate place in the page, and would let you easily encrypt/sign data. I can't believe nobody took over development. I keep meaning to learn how to write Firefox addons specifically so I can take up this project, but I haven't found the time.

It also seems rather similar to the decisions that Apple is making with the Lion/iOS designs.
You should definitely go the freemium route. There are so many games out there and the variation in quality is so wide that I can't justify to myself spending a cent. I have so many games on my phone (most are free) that I formatted it and started over.

Unfortunately, you aren't EA or Activision, you are relatively unknown and people have a hard time giving something a chance when there are so many options around. Ad-supported may not be optimal but atleast you get it into people's hands (and earning a few pennies is still better than nothing). Use that to leverage people into buying your future games.
I'd hope so to, but battery tech hasn't exactly got a stellar record of improvement, likely because of fundamental chemistry constraints.

While I hate to be the depressive and I'd love there to be a better technology available, my understanding is that the resource requirements for battery production and disposal are sufficiently high that the whole life energy costs of such vehicles aren't actually very impressive compared with conventional vehicles, sadly. Hydrogen fuelled cars are a nice technology but effectively an energy storage medium rather than a fuel because the Hydrogen is sufficiently expensive to extract (though a late friend who was a former industrial chemist insisted that solar-initiated catalytic cracking of seawater to extract Hydrogen was viable), plus the molecules are so small that even the best vehicle fuel tank will leak itself empty within a few weeks.

My best bet would be that we'll end up with waste or algae derived biofuels driving turbines feeding ultracapacitors to drive electric motors. But, TBH, there seem to be nasty issues on pretty much all sides. It may simply be that personal transportation as we currently know isn't sustainably scalable with the information and resources available to us.

Oh yeah, and Design Contracts (Eiffel-style) are still hot (and getting hotter: we got them for C# and (in multiple implementations, one of which is from Google) Java too now).

i get this tacked-on-OO-feeling when i do:

or
