So you are studying both at the same time? How do you manage that?

I'm currently working through MST121 myself, it takes a surprising amount of work (compared to you I'm obviously a slow studier as my total commitment is about 2 hours a day, luckily my commute consists of two, one hour train journeys) but I'm finding it really enjoyable, if not therapeutic, a chance to get away from the real world... sadly very much an attitude I wish had when I was younger.

I was actually so rusty I had to take MU123 initially, it was a bit mundane in parts but I was glad I did, there was so many of the basics I had forgotten.
Having skimmed the article, I find that
the author is the victim of his own poorly chosen title. (Or his editor's choice of title.)

This is no generic argument against apps. It's an argument against apps in the specific context of publishing, and mostly prose publishing at that. That is a rather stronger argument to make. The web browser was designed as a surfing tool for writing and that is still its strong suit. The best app for browsing text is the browser, though admittedly this point is often lost because the browser is routinely abused to deliver crappy ad-festooned design disasters. (The best alternatives to browsers, like Instapaper, are arguably just browsers with very strict style guidelines.)
Does this work with dynamic web pages, like Facebook or news.ycombinator.com?
I don't see Apple being fearful to be honest. They are still growing like crazy and they are serving a somewhat different market than Android is. You simply don't buy an iPhone because you want 'some phone'.

This is not to say that an iPhone is better than some Android phone, but this is certainly perceived to be something different than 'the rest' by most of my friends and colleagues.

While I understand the anger here and do think Google have done a lot wrong, a lot of people complaining are making the assumption that apps that have been downloaded a lot should rank more highly. Does that necessarily hold?

To me it seems a little self-reinforcing - whoever is at the top is more likely to be downloaded, which keeps them at the top.

Certainly on the Android market, whoever was at the top of search results before was no good indication of quality either, so the search has gone from useless to useless. From a user-perspective we haven't lost much! And of course, if you make ANY change to rankings, the people that go down will of course be upset.
If I had a budget that allowed me to do this, I definitely would.

It's something I have thought about, and will do in time - for sure.
Thank you very much for the offer, this is something I love to do and would be ideal for me, I was a lazy teen and dropped maths after GCSE when I really shouldn't have (I droped just about everything hard, I was a very kevin and perry teen and went to a bad school). 10 years later I really regret this, I would love to understand the basics of things like analysing algorithms, encoding/encryption stuff etc. I've moved into CS relatively late and the lack of maths has caught me out when it shouldn't. I am currently finishing off a masters in Information Systems which has gone fantastically well but my maths is still lacking by miles. Networks was particularly hard when it came to understanding things like encryption.

I have watched a couple of MIT videos on introduction to Algorithms but they were a bit beyond me so I need to take a step back first. I've watched a few kahn videos but there is just so much I am not quite sure where to put my time. I have thought about taking a Maths A level course at some time when I get time but this year has been full on with other learning.

I start my first professional developers job at the end of September and being able to just do some basic big-O would be amazing. This thread is actually becoming valuable for links and recommendation to other resources I should explore.

Except Apple doesn't seem to care about achieving huge market share for the iPhone. They care about money, and by delaying the iPhone 5 they've managed to make even more money than usual. It must be habit that we go for the market share argument so often. A corporation's responsibility to its shareholders isn't to spread its logo across the land like a religion, but to return value (real dollars, not imaginary market share dollars) for their investment. That was slightly more ironic than I intended.

Besides, there are plenty of other "hidden" reasons for Apple to sue these Android handset manufacturers. Steve Jobs feels betrayed by Eric Schmidt, Samsung makes eerily close copies of the iPhone, Apple doesn't attack HP and RIM because this isn't about actual patent infringement but taking out the smaller manufacturers who can't defend themselves against Apple Legal.

> Page Speed Service fetches content from your servers, rewrites your pages by applying web performance best practices, and serves them to end users via Google's servers across the globe

I don't get it. Given that most websites have some dynamic content, that static assets can be updated, edited or otherwise altered at any time, Google must be fetching content on a request-by-request basis, i/e acting as a proxy. How can this be faster? You've got the existing latency of fetching your content, PLUS the extra latency of Google zipping and concatenating assets and forwarding the result on to the client.

Doesn't make any sense.
I don't mean just from a fault perspective - if I buy something online in general I can get a refund later if I merely change my mind (although I don't know if this applies to purely digital purchases). In the UK, most of the times you see "No refunds", the sign in question has zero effect.
Not necessarily.
You can live wherever you like and still have a software business in another country.
Software does not require a physical office space. You (or the people you may employ) can work from home or from a co-working space.

As such, taxes, the associated paperwork trail, etc. can still be the driving factors when deciding where to incorporate. At a later stage the accessibility of additional funding may also be a point.

My (software) company is incorporated in Hong Kong for, among others, these reasons.
But I neither live there nor work there.

It's actually not common sense, and that's what is special about it. The common-sense reaction to terrorism is to be terrorized by it, and to behave accordingly. It is human nature. We are emotional creatures, and we revert to "fight or flight" instincts when violated.

It takes serious resolve and uncommon grace to rise above the gut reaction, keep calm, and remain focused on what really matters.

Planet Money did a podcast the other day on exactly how the ratings are created. http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/07/26/138721364/the-tues...

TLDL: There's no algorithm. There's no one ratio you can look at. Analysts travel to the country, assess how likely it is to pay its debt, and report back. A few people listen to the evidence then take a vote on the new rating.
Don't be ridiculous. The "common sense" response is always something along the lines of "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth". It takes real sense to see how shortsighted "common sense" usually is.

What these guys are doing is cowardly. They continue to push that they are doing it for the greater good, and that they are morally just. They continue to push that they are up there with the great dissenters. MLK, Ghandi, Mandella, they didn't hide behind anonymity. Facing death they made it known who they were and what they stood for.

Instead they wear their masks. V for Vandetta, really? Guy Fawkes did NOT hide behind a mask.

LULZ AND ANON. IF YOU ARE SO SURE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS GOOD AND JUST, STOP HIDING. REMOVE YOUR MASKS. BE WILLING TO FACE JAIL FOR YOUR ACTIONS. MARTYR YOURSELVES FOR YOUR CAUSE. STOP LETTING OTHER PEOPLE TAKE THE HEAT. STOP SAYING THAT YOU DON'T FEAR THE GOV'T AND AUTHORITY WHILE SITTING BEHIND THE DARK WALL OF THE INTERNET.

It's turning out that they are what we thought they were all along, a bunch of young punks with no guts.

They do have real value. All central banks and banking regulators use them to determine the quality of the collateral that can be posted.

So, for instance, say you are a big bank that wants to borrow cash overnight at a low-interest rate - you have to put something up as collateral. Various central banks have various instruments for various things, but for the most part they tend to require 'investment grade' securities - which is why Greece has been causing such a kurfuffle because if they have a 'selective default', then the ratings agencies will downgrade to junk status and financial institutions won't be able to use Greek gov't bonds as collateral anymore.

That's an overly simplified case, but that can be extended to any where that requires collateral. Most, if not all, financial institutions swear by those credit ratings.
Check Khan Academy. Why don't you do something similar applied for CS? :)
I had that fear too (like yourself, the last time I touched mathematics was during my GCSE's and I wasn't exactly a prodigy then) and it was exactly why I did MU123 first rather than jumping into MST121 despite that fact I think I could have handled it.

I reasoned that by being thorough and starting from the beginning (i.e. the most basic module) that I was not likely to encounter any concept later on in the course that had not previously been introduced to me. Hence no ambiguity. Rather convoluted logic I know, but it worked for me.
The rating is only concerned with whether he country will pay back it's debt on terms. Only paying back 99% is a binary default. Italy uses the Euro, which it doesn't own. The US owns the dollar. The Treasury could mint $1B coins today and sell them to the Fed for the cost of the metal.

I came to say exactly the same thing. The U.S. reaction to the Oklahoma City bombing was pretty muted, and I'm not surprised at the Norwegian reaction.

People are acting all impressed with the PM for saying this, but this was the work of one crazy man, not an organization dedicated to destroying you. No one would let one crazy person influence your county, so I'm not surprised at the PM's reaction.

When you face an enemy group dedicated to destroying you things are far different - it makes you worried there will be more.

No one thinks one crazy person who was caught will do anything else.

Good point. It would be interesting to see where the trade originated. If it originates from Britain, there could be a good chance that a foreign central bank is behind it.

But that just doesn't make sense - because most foreign central banks that have the wherewithall to do that own a TON of Treasuries, so they are just making things worse for themselves....don't see how that makes sense.

But I could be missing something here.
How's this for a completely crazy idea - sack a few civil servents who have been responsible for creating and managing such spectacularly awful contracts?

Sure, I just mean to say that a person calling the urgent line because someone may have accidentally pocketed a key and the homeowner is concerned, is reasonable. That should be investigated.

I use Last.fm simply because it's completely free over here in the US, doesn't play ads after the first initial ad and doesn't have time restrictions like Pandora's 72 or something hour limit. I've been messing around with Spotify but I'm simply too lazy to make play lists for the wide range of music I enjoy. Much easier to just think "I feel like Heavy Metal today" and play a Heavy Metal premade station.
Part of that reaction: Congress limited habeus corpus petitions, extended the time a suspect could be detained without charge, and expanded what electronic communications or data could be retrieved without a wiretap order with the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act.
With a market cap of 23.06 billion, Samsung isn't exactly a small company. I think Apple is going after companies where it believes it has a significant chance of winning. Whether you believe software patents are a bad idea or not (I certainly don't like them), Apple has aggressively patented a lot of key features in iOS and it seems that many Android handsets are infringing.
All I can say is finally! It shouldn't have taken this long but will be very welcome by everyone.

Samsung makes eerily close copies of the iPhone

As a former iPhone-owner gone (Samsung) Android I resent that comment. iOS is a one-dimensional, inflexible and locked down platform which bored the hell out of me and this was the primary reason I went over to Android.

Android and Samsung's phone (the Galaxy S, which I have and which they are sueing for) is nothing like the iPhone and every single day I'm very happy for it.
Yes. And the battle is against Apple's marketing, not the media in general.

Apple itself may be powerless to stop the trend. (Just because they built the trend doesn't mean they control it.) They built a "Mac app" store, so they're trying, but I just had a difficult conversation with an octogenerian who was trying to answer the question: Can I run apps on my Mac? And after going round a few times I finally concluded that the only user-friendly answer is: "No". Because 99 times out of a hundred "apps" means "mobile apps", and it is hard to even introduce the Mac app store into the equation without creating total confusion.
I never called anything an "app" but a "mobile app", preferring to use the term "program" or "software".

If you really think they don't care about market share and money or being the top dog, you're wrong and they've fooled you. That's their number one concern, they're a business.
Apple certainly thinks very different, and the court will decide, won't it?
Yeah, basically webDAV, but integrated into Dropbox.
What I don't get is why they aren't offering choices of different handsets. They offer 4 different versions of the iPod and 1 version of the iPhone. There should be at least 3 iPhones - the standard version, one with a 4.3 or 4.5 inch screen, and one with a slide out keyboard.
I work in software development. Almost everyone in my department has Android-phones bar a few self-confessed iAddicts (and one daring Windows phone 7 beta-tester). Despite its huge commercial success, the iPhone is among my peers considered a rather lulzy thing and a the undisputed weakest and least sophisticated of all the mobile platforms when measured on its own merits.

Not saying this is absolute truth either, but it certainly shows that your comment about what "most" people might think certainly doesn't ring true universally.
