An app I developed, Optimal Layout, lets you switch to a window by typing it's name:

It doesn't solve all the problems in this post, but if you are trying to find an open window I think it's the fastest way. Expose is chaos if you've got a lot of windows open.

I use cmd + arrow key to switch spaces. If you grab a window you can bring it along with you to another space. It would be nice if there was an easy way to select multiple windows to do this with though.
"Framework is a thing that should emerge as a result of your own project long after its launch (after major evolutionary changes/rewrites based on actual usage feedback). It is your team's encoded skills and experience."

This, expressed by Martin Fowler: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FoundationFramework.html and http://martinfowler.com/bliki/HarvestedFramework.html
I commented on that elsewhere. It's more like a continuum. Many libraries will offer callbacks and some are just based around callbacks. Some frameworks need to be called too. For example, IoC frameworks in Java often needs to be called/initialized/configured first (and then they do their magic).
This is why I prefer Sinatra over Rails.

The time when I bought a computer with a CD or DVD drive was more than 10 years ago. During the last years I've mostly used X-Series Thinkpads.

Most Linux distributions have been installable via USB stick or Internet for a long time now and the only time when I was missing the drive so far were the scientific conferences where the proceedings were distributed on a CD.

Good to see that also mainstream operating systems don't require this antique method of data transfer anymore.
No. The clojure compiler only complains about compilation errors, which doesn't help at all when you're debugging runtime errors.

For clojure to be usable for serious client side development, you would definitely need a browser extension that relates the location of runtime errors in the compiled JavaScript back to the clojure source code. Which is precisely what something like GWT gives you (and more).
It bears repeating that the Shuttle was not a good system, it should have been ended long ago. Yes it's inspiring, I've certainly been inspired by it, and yes it's better than nothing, but it's worse than almost all of the reasonable alternatives, by a lot. It did not live up to any of the promises that were made to get it built, in most cases it missed them by a factor of 10 or more. For the few unique capabilities the Shuttle did have (large cross-range flight on landing, return of payloads from orbit, satellite repair) it paid a heavy price in the cost, complexity, and safety of every single launch and yet those capabilities were very rarely used, if at all. Worse yet, the Shuttle was in many ways less flexible and more limited than previous vehicles.

On the whole the decision to build the Shuttle resulted in about 3 lost decades for manned spaceflight in the US. Decades and billions of dollars spent doing busy work and treading water in low Earth orbit. And slowly but surely the organization which put men on the Moon morphed into a typical bureaucratic mire with the most important goal to merely funnel high-paying government aerospace contracts to key congressional districts. When people look back at this era of manned spaceflight they will be occasionally awed by the accomplishments of the Shuttle but more they will wonder how we managed to waste so much time and effort on such a limited and flawed program.

The Shuttle system has had its fair share of victories, but it's past time for it to rest in peace.

You have 10 columns and you need to consider at least 4 rows, to account for the possibility to make a line. That means 2^40 different possible states, and I think that most of them are reachable with the rules of Tetris. It could still be implemented with a hash_table and yield interesting results, but it is still possible to fill up the memory with such an algorithm.

Before using such an approach, I think it would make sense to find a compressed way of representing a state. I think it would be workable to have ten "heights" describing the enveloppe of the structure and to add 3 bits to describe the presence of "holes" in the 3 bottom lines (the presence of holes in the top line can be inferred in the enveloppe information).

That would give us 2 bits of height per column, plus 3 bits for hole presences. 2^23 : a more manageable state space of 8 millions.

Such a representation is not enough to have a good AI or to even make a completely evil AI but it fills the bill when it comes to solve the problem at hand : "prevent the player from making even a single line"

Ask HN: Coming to SFO for a month, easiest way to meet people
Morning all,

I'm thinking of coming to SFO for a month to work, not a new job - I can do what I'm doing now but in SFO.

The thing is that I don't want want to come over and just sit and work in an empty office, then go back to my accommodation. I'd be coming out to meet y'all, make new contacts and expand my horizons so to speak.

So my question is: where is there to work? Good co-working spaces? Regular meetups? Pubs over-run by tech geeks?

Thanks!

I'm afraid there is no jump. If the US defaults interest rates will rise but they can't as the market is dependant on cheap money. That why interest rates have been at 0% for a long as long as I can remember and it is also why QE1 and QE2 were done. To increase the supply of cheap money. If the US defaults the dollar will crash. Look at what happened to Argentina in the late 90s. No I don't think the chances are very significant now but the conditions are certainly there for it to happen. I'm sure a whole paper could be written on this but I am only trying explain where I am coming from.

Shuttle had a pretty bad batting average. Don't know the exact figures but the proportion of flights with fatalities to safe flights was never that good. A simpleton can take one look at the launch configuration to see it was just one huge bomb waiting to be set off by error or corner cutting by opportunistic contractors.

It is hugely ironic that in the competition between communism and modern unfettered multinational fascism, the reds ended up with the final contract for servicing space needs. Goes to show capitalism/fascism is not all it is cracked up to be.

The reds choose to fund a simplistic very basic launch system which has proven to be way more cost effective than unregulated fascism's solution.

With the focus on full screen apps I'd say their future is one small laptop/iPad display. Full screen / mission control brings us much closer to iOS style application switching which in fact does work well on the air and MBPs but is less useful on the 27 inch screens and downright worthless with two screens.

The interesting thing though is that Jobs was always very inspired by Sony and "tidyness".

I really do wonder if Apple can continue without Jobs or whether it will decay into management kingdoms like Sony and other large organizations.
I never use spaces, it always seemed backwards to switch to a whole new context just because I want to access a single app. What if I want to look back at some code I was writing while I'm IM'ing someone? What if I don't want a whole context switch, and I just want to send a quick message? What if I don't care what space an app is in, obviating the need for all this crazy Mission Control complexity?

All I do it bind my most frequently used app to hot keys (Cmd-F1, Cmd-F2, etc.). When I want to use an app, I pop it open with Cmd-F#. When I want to close it, I hit Cmd-H to hide it.

I almost entirely agree with you. The only point of contention I have is we couldn't realistically end a low-earth orbit program without something else in place. The private sector had been interested in it for years, but never did anything about it, until recently. I'm not sure why it finally happened. Computer technology? Advancements in aerospace engineering? The web exploding and creating billionaires who now view space as their next personal challenge (see: Musk, Bezos)? A combination of all 3 is most likely.

Now that the private sector is taking over the mundane LEO missions (in comparison to what is possible), it's time for NASA to get back to doing what it was originally created for, adventure.
Sony's mixing the store with the product information page, resulting in such an ugly URL. Regarding stores, however, Apple isn't entirely innocent either—what about URLs like this[1]?

Sony UK's is just a product information page, and it has a much cleaner URL[2] (albeit not as clean as Apple's).

If you mainly work at the granularity of single apps, I could see that. I tend to use groups of apps, so without spaces I waste way too much time re-assembling my working contexts. With spaces I can just swap in a whole context, like "programming": my text editor, a terminal, and a browser open to a relevant doc all pop up as a group, arranged how I want them. And stuff not in the "programming" context disappears instead of cluttering my screen.

If I have to do this app-at-a-time, I need to bring to the foreground Terminal, MacVim, and Chrome, each with a separate hotkey press, then hide everything else. I admit this working pattern may be specific to a Unix style of "IDE" made up from multiple apps used together, though. If you just use XCode or Eclipse or something, it's already bundled into one app so maybe not an issue.
Wrong on so many counts. Look at the Google Labs pages. There are 7 of them out with at least 1.5 are "graduated" to read products. Labs is very good playground when you don't know how things will shape and you don't want to be confined by corp mandates of tools, processes etc. If things takes off then it gets graduated to real product by having more people work on it.

If you look at Labs projects, many are pretty cool. Things like Google Groups came out of Labs.

Labs decision might be the stupidest decision yet execs have made there. They are investing huge in buying small start ups and they have even thing like Google ventures. It doesn't make any sense to kill of Labs.
I'd look at it this way, did having XCode for an extra couple of months generate $5 of value for you? If so then it was a good deal.
No it isn't.
Following up on your post, which is btw, great, I'd add Mission Control also breaks my use of Exposé.

On Snow Leopard, most of the time, I used only one space and, as I've been using it on a 13.3" MBP, my windows were always using most of the screen and I usually have more than one window of a given app open at the same time (Finder or Text Wrangler for example).

To see multiple app windows, my workflow was:
1. Swipe four fingers down (gesture for Exposé);
2. Select any window of any given app.

Now, I must use Mission Control:
1. Gesture for Mission Control;
2. Select the app;
3. Gesture for Exposé;
4. Select my window.

What used to take 2 steps, takes four.
This story is pretty short: the Sony page is an Enterprise Java (TM) shopping cart, not a brochureware page in a CMS.

Apple also is a heavy user of Enterprise Java. Try finding pages where they can take input.

That said, yeah, given the choice I would a) devote engineering resources to getting human-readable URLs (SEO and UX benefits for reasonably little work) and b) prefer frameworks which make that the default because they are likely clueful in other ways, too.

An hour or so was enough for me. Just one thing to unserdtand: you are moving content, not the window above it. It's much easier to get if you ever used any new touchscreen devices.

And the old way is wrong—the viewport never moves as we scroll so we were always moving content. Just get used to inverted scheme.
I get the point he's trying to make, but you can still type in http://sony.com/walkman and it takes you to the correct page.
I love the constraint system in OpenLaszlo too, and I've used OpenLaszlo for many projects. The "Garnet" user interface system, developed in the 90's by Brad Meyers at CMU, also has constraints for laying out user interfaces. I worked on both Garnet at CMU and OpenLaszlo at Laszlo Systems. Here's a description and comparison of the two systems, that I wrote a while ago:

Constraints and Prototypes in Garnet and Laszlo:
http://www.donhopkins.com/drupal/node/69

"Once you've tasted a programming language with constraints, you will not want to go back. Programming without constraints is like writing in machine language: error prone, low level, tedious, inefficient and mind numbing."

"Constraints are like structured programming for variables: In the same way that it's better to use loops and conditionals instead of gotos, it's also better to use declarative programming that says what you mean, instead of imperative peeks and pokes and side effects."

A description of OpenLaszlo:

What is OpenLaszlo, and what's it good for?
http://www.donhopkins.com/drupal/node/124

I also worked briefly on a cross platform gui system called Galaxy, for a company called Visix, which had a constraint system called "springs and struts". But it turned out they were evil so I left. (The company, not the springs and struts. ;)
I think that this study fails to address that they may confuse cause and effect. What is the reason for a telecommuting arrangement? Why doesn't that person just move closer to the job location? The answer is often that he has family ties. I would suspect that telecommuters are significantly more likely to have families, and that may have a pronounced effect on their views of their work life.
The story here is, 'hide complexity'? Or perhaps 'Focus on the details of user experience'?

I love the reference to "all of this business at the top". Perhaps there's a design principle in there. If a user is ever referring to "all this business..." then you've gone off track.

More dead wood behind fewer sharp ideas.
You're suggesting using 2 bits to store the height of the column, plus 3 bits to store the presence of holes, for a total of 5 bits per column. Exactly how you got from that to a figure of "2^23" I don't know. That's actually (2^5)^10 = 2^50 possible column combinations.

Why not just use 4 bits to represent the whole column? That's (2^4)^10 = 2^40, exactly where we started.

In fact, look at rows instead. With 10 columns and 4 rows there are, to be more precise, (2^10 - 1)^4 possible states.

And the majority of which have "floating" (disconnected) sections which, while reachable with the rules of Tetris, cannot be reached without making at least one line.

In case you didn't read the article, Tetris has been solved for width 10 height 4: the AI wins. The same is true for width 10 height 5. We need to go further.

That distinction only has meaning when passing functions around is hard. Nobody call simple chart generating library's frameworks even if they have large numbers of call backs to your code. At the same time it's easy to find actual web frameworks that are instantiated by your code which may spawn unrelated processes at the same time.
