I think that the reason for what you describe is essentially a paradigm mismatch. Automation aims to reduce the amount of work while businesses have the goal of making as much money as possible and, by extension, since money can only be acquired by working, essentially attempt to automate as little as possible. Personally, I think that this is an old and outdated way of living. It's the same thing that simple biological organisms do - go towards pleasure and away from pain. It explains why, for example, so many software houses only look at the short term and don't take time to design decent systems which are adaptable to change, even though they know that requirements are always shifting. I call this approach 'dumb-lazy', whereas the automation approach is 'smart-lazy'.
Interestingly, they will exclusively fly 9-passenger planes in order to skirt the TSA rule of screening for planes that fly 10 or more.

Gucci handbags
The greatest demerit of an online Gucci bags sale is the fact that there will be shipping delays. Other disadvantage of going for cheap Gucci bags online are the facts that there is a high risk of cyber crimes such as identity theft and what is shown on pictures is not always what you get. However, this should not be a problem when you go to a well-established online store or marketplace.

Apple delivers yet again with OS X 10.7 Lion [Review]
More precisely, they switched all minis to the "mini server" case (server was introduced in late 2009 and did not have a DVD drive, replacing it with a second HDD instead)
Installing MacPorts is easy, however, be aware that some ports do not compile yet. Some of them have bugs filed against them, but given the NDA, MacPort developers could not fix them until Lion was out.
Same here. I found this: https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/wiki/ChangeLog

Surely you're exaggerating. 8GB is necessary for a dev machine where you're going to be intentionally straining it. Most laptops nowadays come with 4GB.

From personal experience: no.

I bought a MacBook Air in January. It's very ideal for travelling, due to its small size and weight. However, it squeezes nearly the same amount of pixels as a 13.3" MacBook Pro in a 11.8" display. So, if your eyes are a bit tired, it becomes annoying to read code. Also, the CPU is much slower (even after this refresh) than the MacBook Pro. If you use compiled languages or do a lot of data processing, this is annoying.

I returned my Air to my Apple Reseller recently, and purchased a MacBook Pro (as I had before). It's fast and a readable screen.

Since you are a programmer, you'll probably enjoy a MacBook, given OS X's UNIX underpinnings.
Many thanks for the link.

I do use them for sessions not files - I find that feature very usefull when dealing with a bunch of projects.
V8 is open source, so it's compiled into Node. But I don't even compile open-source libraries into my windows assemblies. That seems like an incredible waste of time for little benefit.

Why this can't be used in games? First, you can't change the viewing angle because it's not full 3D. Secondly, the lighting is static (from photograph setting) and thus the shading remains static all the time. In addition, facial animations will be limited.

I have to say though that bad looking characters in games are usually fault of the artist, not the underlying technology.

Eich have stated that he intended to create something like scheme for the web. The Java-inspired syntax (and name) were chosen for marketing reasons, not technical reasons.

He couldn't just have used scheme wholesale though, since a major part of JS is the integration with the DOM. He would have needed to create some custom object system anyway to support that. So it would have been a new language anyway, and due to the time constraints at the time, it would probably have had the same amount of bugs and mistakes that JS ended up with.

Well, of course we expect the gravity waves to be there, given the other effects of relativity that have been confirmed so far.

However, scientists still observe, verify, measure. As one other poster mentioned, the equipment to detect gravity waves from afar has not yet been able to do the job (due to opportunity or sensitivity, don't know).

If for some reason they do not find the waves (and the instruments are shown to be good), then there will be some more deep thinking to do: were we really looking at objects different than what we thought? Is there some theory more twisted than relativity that needs to be made to explain the previous results as a special case and also explaining the new results???
A two hour flight would cost at the very minimum $6000. With a maximum of 10 passengers, that works out to $600/ per passenger. I don't understand how they can offer this for $150/mo. Perhaps they bombard passengers with advertisements or do scientific experiments to them.

It means that although it does not truly effect the languages effectiveness, it does negatively effect those who use it. Syntactical sugar exists because people have to use these languages. There is a reason so many languages of the same niche as PHP include array slicing.

"Or that you prefer a syntactical shortcut and everyone who disagrees is an idiot?"

No, not everyone who disagrees with me is an idiot. Just those people who read the sentence "Rather, it matters to me." and somehow think I mean "everyone who disagrees is an idiot", apparently missing the EMPHASIS ON "ME".

(capped for your benefit.)
This bit I find concerning, "Sugar is more concerned with convenience and intuitive syntax, whereas Underscore.js is more oriented toward performance".

There are many libraries that enhance aspects of writing js apps that dont sacrifice performance.

Additionally, and I may be wrong here, but in my experience any lib that modifies native objects tends to be a bad idea.

Make yourself a favor: go see this.
Rationalizing Dissatisfaction
Oh, some of our software barely compiles with 4GB of memory (unless you have enough time). E.g. large finite state transducers dumped as a big array of structs in C tend to blow up the compiler ;).

Also, some people tend to work with large data sets or problems that just require lots of memory. E.g. I work on language generation, and generally the more memory the better. For me 8GB is the minimum for doing serious work, and most machines that I use have >= 8GB and <= 64GB of memory.
It was my knowledge that it was difficult to go lower on prices in any way without losing money?

The larger planes could take advantage of economies of scale, the only way to get lower fares would be to drastically reduce the cost of flying a plane in the first place.

No lost luggage, more spacious interiors, and less TSA are always selling points though.

Social and Mobile: The Converging War of Platforms
sure. i have already said the same below.

i am not criticising the physicists, or the person who originally posted the article, or denying how interesting it would be if waves were not found, or disparaging the technical difficulties involved.

i am just tired of the same hackneyed phrase being used in every article related to general relativity. google has over 12 million hits for the phrase "einstein was right". the national geographic is a quality publication. it should know better.
I would be very interested to see some thoughts on this subject. I go back and forth agreeing and disagreeing with the grandparent's last paragraph.

Its easy to make yourself feel moral and just this way (and elitist and morally superior), but I think it can also be the beginning to an easy loophole around "money doesn't buy happiness." Once you've decided that more money will allow you to do others good, you're in the same structural problem that materialists are, which is that once you meet goal X, there goal Y will be, just out of reach, and with it, your happiness.

This is a really tough sell... There is no screening for planes smaller than 10 passengers if there is no "sterile" area at either airport. This means that they'll have to fly into smaller airports, which (often) means you're further from the city, with no rental car, public transportation, etc.

They will likely be flying small propeller planes, which many people don't like... props make sense for these short routes though because they are often faster, based on the fact that there is less time for takeoff and landing (they don't spend as much time "reaching altitude")

I also don't like that they are trying to bootstrap based on folks buying these subscriptions which they have yet to launch, and that they plan to launch in a month. Very pyramid-scheme-like.

I would love for it to work, but I just can't see this business model surviving. It reminds me a bit of independence air and Dayjet, both of which lasted less than a year.

Also, this doesn't inspire confidence: https://twitter.com/#!/PlaneRed/status/93572991077715968
From my personal experience, I liked coding Python with Textmate on a MBA, but not Objective-C with Xcode. Py/Text didn't take up much space and was easy to work with. Obj-C/Xcode demand lots of real-estate space, so the tiny screen was a hinderance.

So I'd advise that if you have a language that's 'tiny' and a minimalist editor, you'll probably do fine on a MBA. If the language and editor take up lots of space, I'd stay away and go with something that has a bigger screen (exception if you plan on using an external monitor).
> The App Store license allows you to install apps on all Macs you own or control

yeah I saw that in the Ars review. But I think your iTunes account can only be active on 5 machines, so you'd have to burn the dmg to a disk and install it on the supplementary machines (or remove auth)

iTunes can switch accounts trivially, so that's not a problem: open his account on his wife's mac, update the OS, done.

Your statement may be technically true, but in this case it just comes to show the stupidity of the patent system - is making a link from text something Apple invented? Probably not. Did it need to spend billions creating it? Definitely not.

I think reality trumps made up laws, so I don't like your statement, as it just shows conformity to a broken system without any thought at all.

I think that developers would have learned to write CBL whatever the language. The hype of the web combined with the CBL being the only language available for client side programming practically guaranteed its success, whatever the shortcomings of the language itself.

Note that VBScript were much more familiar to many developers, because VB was one of the most popular language at the time. But it fell by the wayside because it was not supported at ubiquitously as JS. (It was also a much worse language than JS, but that was not the reason it failed.)
