Is that open to anyone now? I thought the process was you developed against user streams then once you scaled beyond those you requested access to the stream api? And, you need to request access to the user streams api too right?

I decided not to do real time streaming for my current project so never followed up on it.

>The applicability of this kind of sabotage for murder/assassination is limited.

Possibly. But I'm not sure I'd react all that well if, while driving in the middle of the night, my lights suddenly went out, my stereo started playing music at full volume, and my throttle went wide open.

And that's all a possibility on my 2003 car -- newer cars are moving towards doing much more with software. And where there's software, there will always be viruses.
I also post the majority of my stuff as public. I suspect that my "Limited" circle posts will pretty much always be less than 10% of my posts. That might lead some people to believe that the circle feature isn't important since I'm using it only occasionally, but that would be a very misguided and wrong conclusion, it is still very important to me that the feature exists for when I do want to use it.
Agreed. With the removal of the scripts menu, your eyes no longer need to be assaulted by 2 iconic menu bar titles, and you get to practice your typing. Furthermore, the lack of any even-remotely-useful disassembly window means that people who argue that it's impossible to debug an optimised build can now be right ;)

These two features (or lack thereof) sent me running straight back to Xcode 3. Took about 5 minutes, 3 minutes of which was searching for any way of getting at the disassembly window. I suppose I could have worked around the scripts thing if push came to shove.

Anyway, there appears to me to be every reason to stick with Xcode 3 rather than Xcode 4, though maybe Xcode 4 might be OK if you're not some kind of freak, as I appear to be.
I think you're confused... salaries in Brazil are monthly... US salaries are generally quoted yearly...

And differences are even more confusing for comparison because, beyond multiplying by 12 and converting to dollars, you need to remember that in Brazil you get a 13th salary as well, an extra 1/3 salary during your vacation month, the money put into your FGTS, and sometimes other benefits as well. In the US you don't get any of that. Although, of course, this is all only if you're CLT instead of CNPJ... (formally hired, as opposed to an independent contractor).

What's the current situation with Apache and the Document Foundation? Are they planning on collaborating, taking the suite in different directions, or what?

That's still more or less "TBD." The Apache OOo project is still working on getting the original OOo code imported into ASF SVN, getting a working build, straightening out dependencies, etc. I expect that more talk about the exact relationship between Apache OOo and LibreOffice - and any other spinoffs of OOo - will heat up once that happens.

That said, the relationship between the LibreOffice folks and the Apache folks strikes me as a little bit delicate at the moment. I think some LO / TDF people are still a bit annoyed at Oracle, and/or suspicious of IBM, and aren't necessarily leaping with joy at the thought of collaborating with the Apache project. But there doesn't seem to be any outright hostility either, from what I've seen, and most of the people who are talking are at least willing to talk about collaboration. But I think it's going to take a fair amount of diplomacy and tact and patience to see the day when the two projects really have a strong, collaborative relationship.

Regardless of the extent of collaboration and friendship between the two, I am guessing the two suites will drift apart at least a little. TDF and the LO project, for example, seem interested in reducing, if not eliminating, the use of Java in LO, and using Python instead. But nobody on the Apache side is really saying "Oh yeah, cool, we want to do that as well." And given the history, the influx of IBM people, etc., etc., I think most observers are expecting that Apache OOo will continue to utilize Java in those areas.

Disclaimer: Nothing I'm saying here is meant to be any sort of official statement from the Apache OOo project. I am a committer and on the PPMC, but what I'm saying here is just my observations, guesses and hunches. I don't have a long history of being part of the OOo project prior to it moving to Apache either, some my awareness of some of the history here could be off.

> The point of patterns is to be a body of knowledge about how to make programs.

No, the point of patterns is to standardize the language about what everyone already does so programmers can actually discuss what they do with each other in a meaningful way.
It sounds as though the same issues that make it perform suboptimally on VM hypervisors would make it also perform suboptimally for OLTP databases -- in both, the I/O patterns generally involve high numbers of small writes.
But when you have many tools and building blocks , the problem doesn't require many intelligent decisions anymore , and isn't "big" by the definition given by the parent thread.
It's probably the market -- the demand is higher in the US.
Indeed, the ability to work on code now and think about a commit later is freeing. As for the particular abstraction of how to represent the commit in progress... I like the working tree for that, rather than the index. It's just a better mental fit for me to unstage stuff I don't want to commit (via shelve/stash), _rerun unit tests_, do a simple diff without needing to remember the incantation for seeing what's in the index, and commit.
Good lord, man. You need to move to Rio or São Paulo or something... if you're even a half-decent programmer you make R$3K/mo without looking too hard, and make $5-8K if you're quite good. Even working from home, you should be able to find something more than R$1K/month, subcontracting work for other companies. Boa sorte, amigo!

I agree with your first part entirely. As for the comments about math I look at it this way. Math can usefully be described as a nothing but a bunch of design patterns, discovered and built in just the way you say. Look at the way addition and multiplication morph into a ring, once you learn a little math. Dynamic programming algorithms then work for any ring.

The frustrating thing for programmers is that these patterns don't often seem to be directly useful in computer science. Oops, I mean programming.

I think that is changing thanks to functional languages. One of the most mind blowing CS lessons I learned in the past few years was how to calculate the derivative of a data structure and what to use it for, using plain old calculus rules. Now that might seems useless or crazy if you haven't studied algebraic data types. But these are readily seen to be useful once you learn a little math (and Haskell). In a few years I believe that FP will be credited for the wholesale import of mathematical design patterns into everyday programming. The Haskell and related communities are still small enough that they have only scratched the surface.
Something I ran into recently was the removal of remote debugging in Xcode 4. The facilities to do it are there, as that is how debugging iOS devices is run, but the ability to debug remote OS X clients is gone.
Being useful and hard to use are two different things. For developers, more buttons mean more things to consider when developing apps.

Personally, I just don't see the usefulness of Back buttons on WP. The Back button should be replaced when the multitask swtich feature in "Mango". The Search, maybe, it's useful sometimes. Again, like you've mentioned, the users would have to guess whether it will bring up the Bing Search or the in-app one. It sounds just confusing.

Let's play a game!

Step 1. Pick an artist! I'll go for "Britney Spears". Step 2. Pick an album! I'll go for her latest "Femme Fatale". Step 3. Find that album on Groove Shark! Easy enough, it's right there under "Britney Spears". Step 4. Check which label that album is distributed under, Wikipedia states it's under the label "Jive" (who are a division of Epic, part of Sony). Step 5. Search through that list for any label associated with the ones I just listed.

nothing

So here they are, making money of the latest Britney Spears album, yet they aren't licensed to! What a surprise! This is all Grooveshark do. They will only remove after they get a DMCA request because "oh our users upload it! We didn't know! Those naughty users!". That label list is 95% small labels nobody cares about that very few people listen to the music of, none of the larger labels are on there. I would love to see Grooveshark publish a breakdown of what % of their music (based on listens) is licensed vs. unlicensed. I'd bet $100 it's less than 50%.

"oh but it's too hard to get licenses! It's the big bad RIAA!!". Wait a second, we're posting in a thread about a company doing exactly what Grooveshark should be doing and doing it successfully!
Question for the OP: Did anyone complain to you that he thought he was getting an ipod, but instead got a knock-off? I think that if nobody thought he was buying an ipod, it would be perfectly reasonable for you to sell your mp3 players. In my experience however, some sellers deliberately mislead customers on sites like ebay to buy cheap knock-off products.

But the back button (if I'm remembering right) on the Android (which is always there) isn't always consistent in its functionality. In some apps it does one thing, in some apps it does another. At least the home button is more consistent.
This why I use the Cydia apps Quick Lock, SpringJumps, and the SBSettings close button.

The first, Quick Lock, shows up as an app, but all it does is turn the screen off when you press it; this saves wear on the sleep button. I keep it on the home screen.

The second, Springjumps, lets you insert button (or apps) that, once pressed, jump to a specific screen number. I have one on the bottom bar that jumps back to the home screen (page 0). To turn off my screen I typically press the go-to-home screen SpringJumps button followed by tapping the QuickLock button which I've placed in the middle of the home screen (didn't want to use up a spot on the bottom row but maybe I should).

Finally, the SBSettings close button lets me close apps without pressing the home button, from inside the SBSettings display. You could probably also configure the activator to "close" given some gesture.

This keeps the wear and tear on that one button to a minimum, for when I really need it, or for when I'm feeling lazy or rushed. Triple-home-button press? Forget it.

So I agree with you in the case of Apple. But let's dissect for a minute why this is the case.

Apple can be incredibly secretive and still hire with no problems because

1) they are literally creating world-changing products and people want to be involved with that

2) they have a reputation for hiring extremely bright people. If you take a job at Apple you will interact with them (/ be one of them)

But outside of the big technology names (msft, google, fb, etc.) there's a huge collection of companies where either a) the brand is known but the company isn't know for being an innovative place in the hacker community or b) the company isn't known and neither is the team.

In both of type (a) and (b) companies you hear a lot of moaning from managers right now about how they can't find any good folks to hire.

So I'll qualify my advice a little bit: If you find you're having a hard time finding "rockstar-ninja-l88t programmers" by posting to Monster.com, maybe consider that you're approaching hiring in the wrong way.
Apple should hire this guy. He eloquently described something that's bothered me for a long time about my phone, and the solution he came up with was one that hadn't occurred to me... but now that he's mentioned it, it seems clearly like the right answer.

As a developer, I don't want the obligation of an unlabeled inconsistent back button constantly to annoy and confuse my user. I want it to be there when I want it to be there. This holds in general for the iOS ecosystem.

The one feature that you are really stating is a plus of a dedicated back button is to serve as a pointer to the referring app, but there is nothing in the UI to indicate that the back button will go there either, just a mental note by the user!

If you sum up all of the points of confusion that could possibly arise from a permanent and ambiguous unlabeled back button to be used for in-app navigation and compare it to the pain of double tapping to get back to the previous app in iOS (guaranteed, by the way, from any point in the app), I don't see how you could possibly come to the conclusion that forcing a back button into every point of every UI is a net plus. Not even close.

>Unlike a website, a car requires access to a physical, proprietary interface to embedded components.

That's not necessarily true.

For example, my car's ECU can be reprogrammed using the instrumentation bus. The instrumentation bus can be accessed using the wires that interface with the CD changer. That means that the audio system is on the same network as the ECU -- and if I had a Bluetooth adapter, that'd likely be on the same network as well.

Indeed, researchers can disable electronically controlled brakes via Bluetooth:

>Patches are impossible

I've had to take my car in for patches a few times. Where there is software, there will be patches required.

At the end of the day, I doubt we will be seeing assassinations via car hacking. But I wouldn't call it impossible.

I make 10,000 RMB per month (about $1550 USD) at a start-up in Beijing. On one hand I feel certain I could earn more in the US, but on the other hand it might be harder to get a job at a start-up as someone entering the field from the arts with a relatively modest tech background.
There's still an event beyond which there appears to be no superposition, whether that's because the two blobs of amplitude have separated enough or whether it's because there's only one left, and I think the word collapse serves well enough.
Nope, I not confused. Im CLT employed and you're right about FGTS.. But I don't have any benefits where I work, and the local employers don't get much better than this. A 'nice' salary in my town would get me somewhere around 21k dollars yearly.

Foursquare Unleashes Its Deals API
This is not necessarily a bad move on Groupon's part. The downside, he claims, is that consumers who have essentially committed to buying or leasing are losing their negotiating power. The simple fix for this, is go into the dealership and shop around before presenting the coupon. It works out especially well for Groupon as they produce higher revenue per coupon sold.

This also fixes the problem that small shops and services have when discounting 50 to 60 percent where they are losing money, and are using Groupon more as a marketing tool to get new customers in the door. In the case of the auto retailer, they are not giving 50 percent discouts, more like a 1-3% depending on the car price.

This is win-win essentially, but only if I am looking for a new car at so and so automotive.
I'd start with Javascript, because:

a) It's fairly simple.

b) Every computer that has a web browser has it. He would be able to run the programs with no additional software needed (including on the iPad).

c) You can make simple games with it (that's what I was interested in when I started programming, anyway :) ).

d) It's relevant.

I believe under the GPL, you can sell software, you just have to distribute the source, that's true.

However, the message hasn't seemingly sunk in, as there are many people who seem to be followers of stallman who get up in arms any time someone sells open source software (even if they are distributing the source.)

It is apparently offline now, but there used to be a huge list here:
http://ffmpeg.org/shame.html

I picked some at random awhile back and looked into them. Every single "shame" was a commercial company that was complying with the GPL, and was distributing source code to ffmpeg. (Running it as a separate process, not mixing the code.)

This didn't matter to them. They documented constantly harassing these companies, who would try to comply with their demands (most of which were not required by the GPL) and then would give up, because the demands would just escalate.

It was kinda like software terrorism-- harassing people for selling software that included -- sometimes as a small part-- open source code.

The equivalent to a mathematical result in programming is not a design pattern, it's a program, algorithm, or data structure. Design patterns a la GoF (and the OP) are pseudo-formalisms. They're not well-defined enough to be comparable to math; not even close.

We work many more hours and we have to pay more for benefits like health care. Most other medical costs are higher here too; drugs are a lot more expensive in the US than the rest of the world, because the drug companies fold the research and testing costs into our prices, and only include manufacturing and distribution costs in the rest of the world's pricing.

Cars might be cheaper here, and gas certainly is, but we use a lot more of both than Europeans because we tend to be spread out a lot more. That's another factor raising our cost of living, which drives up the salaries we demand.

I think we need such legislation, with the caveat that there needs to be an easy way to compute the amount of the tax. (Figuring out what sales tax rate would apply at the purchaser's exact location is hard because of county and city taxes. In some cases the 5-digit ZIP code is not even sufficient.) A single tax rate for all such sales is probably too simple, as it would put online retailers at a disadvantage when shipping to a state with no sales tax. A single tax rate for each state might work. At the other extreme, it could probably be done based on the 5-digit ZIP code, but I don't think it would work to go any finer than that. Even at that level, we'd need an online service to do the lookup.
