I think the development speed goes up once you have all the basic infrastructure in place (in our case it was getting jasmine and other testing frameworks and code to create different kinds of listings etc).
Can anyone explain what effect

#define goto

would have? It doesn't looks valid, because if I have

myLabel:
/* some code*/
goto myLabel;

would produce

myLabel;

Which, as far as I know shouldn't compile because it expects either a normal expression or a definition/declaration and myLabel; doesn't appears to be any of them. (Maybe I'm missing something)
Thing are getting much better, all the time, but simple things like progressively enhancing select box's just feel way harder then it should be. Select boxes are tricky in any browser by the way because they are natively rendered so differently in many different browsers.

Backbone, and others, are awesome but still don't seem like the whole solution.

Even then if you the site you are building gets a little more popular, you will have to support more platforms, like older versions of IE, and then were back at the start.
"RefRef is a revolutionary DoS java site. Basically, by using an SQL and .js vulnerability, you can send a page request packet from your home computer with embedded .js file, because of the vulnerability in the SQL/Javascript engine on MOST websites, the site actually TEMPs the .js file on its own server. So now the .js is in place on the host of the site. Next since you still have the request, it picks up the .js file, and all of the requesting for packets power happens on the server, not the requestee. I send two packets from my iphone, and everything else happens on the server. Basically eats itself apart, because since both are on the server, its all a local connection."

"The tool is very effective, a 17-seconds attack from a single machine resulting in a 42-minute outage on Pastebin yesterday. As expected, the Pastebin admins weren't very happy with their platform being used for such tests and tweeted 'Please do not test your software on us again.'"

"The effectiveness of RefRef is due to the fact that it exploits a vulnerability in a widespread SQL service. The flaw is apparently known but not widely patched yet. The tool's creators don't expect their attacks to work on a high-profile target more than a couple of times before being blocked, but they don't believe organizations will rush to patch this flaw en masse before being hit."

In short, this is generally true.

In long form, this might or might not be true, depending on tax-treaties and jurisdictions.

Back to short form, smarter people than you or me have worked out all the angles for Apple on this already.
If they are poor, without jobs and opportunities, I think they are, one way or another, protesting. We made the exact same mistake in France in 2005. If you prefer, these events are the manifestation of their condition which could be qualified of passive or unconscious protestation.
I'd just like to point out that the application he architechts is for marketing, so it's not exactly unrelated. That said, I don't much mind either way.
This will be wonderful for new Mac users, Windows-to-Mac switchers and other non-technical people on a Mac. Countless times I have been asked to fix customers' aging systems only to find that nearly all applications in the Adobe Creative Suite were running simultaneously with 1GB of RAM, that kind of thing. And plenty of other apps on the side. This step might be very helpful to these users who don't actively manage resources or expect an app to quit when they close the last window (as is customary in Windows operating systems).

I've created many games for a total dollar cost of $0. It can be done. Yes it requires using your time, but the opportunity cost is not necessarily in foregoing paid work hours, but rather less time spent watching TV, going to sporting events, going to movies, etc. all of which have their own cost and thus you in a sense save money by not doing them. Not all games have to be huge. Not all games require graphics, or fancy graphics. Or sound. Not all games have to be 3D. It only has to be a game. If you have the right skill set the whole thing can be made by a single passionate, driven person. Minecraft is the recent "mainstream fame" example but was not the first and likely not the last.
The N9 in the US never had a chance because the carriers don't want it. I have a hard time believing it would be "strong competition" for anything at $600 unlocked.

So you confirm the set of axioms then, since you admit that you don't have an understanding of CS.

I wasn't saying that merely knowing what folding is means you have CS knowledge. I was saying that such knowledge is characteristic of knowledgeable programmers.

I have had a similar experience when applying for a graduate job in a satellite comms. company in London. I got a call literally eight months later, thanking me for my application and that its being considered. They claimed I would have an answer within the next month. They never called me back and I found a much better job in the mean time; out of courtesy gave them a ring to let them know I am not interested in the position (this is t+1 year since applying) - they told me a decision had not been met yet and were even 'angry' on me leading them on and not cancelling the application earlier.

"a series of menu buttons that aren't labeled; you've got to mouse over each one to find out what you're about to click on"

This actually has a name: 'Mystery Meat Navigation'[1]. It's one of the most irritating usability ailments. I thought it was extinct by now, but apparently it's still used on restaurant sites. It used to be quite popular on art- and band-related sites, some ten years ago.

The mobile site is kinda cute but a mess in terms of usability:

On http://shakeshack.com/mobile/menu/ links are not marked.

On http://shakeshack.com/mobile/locations/ everything looks like a link.

On eg http://shakeshack.com/mobile/menu/citifield.php the categories are not divided well, it is not clear where the category "text icons" belong to.

http://shakeshack.com/mobile/shackfans/ is serving huge (multiple hundreds of kilobytes) photos.

I would not call that a good example. The idea and structure is good(!) but execution is not so great.
In IE, yes.

I work with an exceptionally complex ext.js application (not develop, I'm just a user of it). In IE you can click a button, make a cup of tea, and come back to see it finish working. In Chrome and Firefox, there's nothing wrong with the performance of the client.
I think your last point is heavily situation-dependent. What you really want to do is maximize the area of your Voronoi-diagram: the problem space for which you or resources you control are the best available solution. Sometimes the best way to do this is to eliminate a weakness, so that it's no longer a dealbreaker for people that wish to use you as a solution. But many times, the best way is to perfect your strengths, so that you're clearly better than the alternatives around you. People are willing to forgive and work around many weaknesses if you're very, very good at your strengths.
On top of that, there's encouraging clicks on Google ads regardless of interest (some call it click fraud).

TimThumb 2.0, A more better, more secure rewrite
On the other hand Apple is the single biggest buyer of NAND Flash in the world, if Apple goes elsewhere, Samsung's foundry would find it really hard to fill the capacity.() IIRC, since Japan Tsunami everybody's been scrambling securing components but the demand was relatively soft, e.g. Qualcomm ends its recent quarter with 59 days worth of inventory. So now everything is cheap including NAND Flash, as a matter of fact Apple in its financial outlook for Q4(fiscal) stated a buyer's market for multiple key component will positively affect Apple's GM.

In one incident, a man suffered life-threatening injuries when he was attacked by rioters after he tried to extinguish a fire they had started in a bin.

Other residents told how they barricaded themselves into their block of flats as more than 200 masked rioters bent on burgling houses tried to smash down the doors.

Classical composer and musician Leni White told how she escaped her blazing flat in Ealing with nothing but her violin after it was torched by thugs.

Shopkeepers were also robbed and one was left with stitches after looters beat him up and demanded his money.

It could be a move to have Starbucks disassociate themselves with Mobiquity. Perhaps Mobiquity didn't have permission to use their logo or name them as a client. If Jonathan's card brought it to Starbucks' attention, that could precipitate this kind of rapid rewriting of the web.

Assuming you've jumped from correlation to causation, trying to guess at the reasoning behind it is just that, a guess.
That completely slipped my mind. You are, of course, correct.

An alternative suggestion here is to use Comcast's 75.75.75.75 IP address; while it may seem static, it's actually an anycast address, and will resolve to the nearest node.

One thing many people forget when choosing a DNS server is that it's not just the ping time that counts - the time it takes the server to reply to the actual DNS request is what matters.

e.g. while 75.75.75.75 for me (Comcast Chicago) is a 15ms trip and 8.8.8.8 is a 28ms ping, the lookup on the former (dig x.com @dns_ip) can reach 120ms while on Google's DNS it never exceeds ~35ms.
The review looks credible and the temperature graphs are devastating. If they had a prototype that performed like this, it would be just a plain scam. Maybe there is some manufacturing fault? That's the only explanation that wouldn't say something bad about the founders.

The article does not mention the main problem with this approach: you're breaking the hypertext model of the web. All of a sudden your pages don't have URL's, you can't bookmark them, back and forward buttons in your browser don't work, page source does not reflect your document structure, etc. There are some cases when all this is not important, but in many, many cases I want my webpage to be just that - a webpage.

In the meantime, ESR on his continuing 'Smartphone Wars'[1] saga:

"...With Nokia and RIM in collapse and Microsoft failing to gain traction, the smartphone market is increasingly just a two-horse race – Android va. Apple...

...in a survey of usage in 56 countries, Android has reached 48% market share worldwide. Then the comScore figures on US installed base up to June 2011 came out, and report only 40% share here...

...Google is buying patents from IBM, doubtless with the intention of turning the confrontations with Sun and Apple into Mexican standoffs. My evaluation continues to be that the smartphone patent wars will be like a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury but in the end signifying nothing."

Why do you think they'd want to support another new and incompatible platform? What can MeeGo offer to AT&T or Verizon?

Both Nokia and Palm/HP have had a very difficult time getting the US carriers to distribute and subsidize their smartphones. They had no interest in adding MeeGo to the lineup, regardless of Elop's decision.

The carriers already know Windows Phone and they have a relationship with Microsoft. Nokia has reportedly committed some serious money for marketing their WP devices in the US. The combined resources of Microsoft and Nokia has certainly got some carriers interested.

>>This is not exactly nefarious, even to the severely-damaged-evil-meter version of nefarious which includes "intentionally and with forethought committing the sin of marketing."

I don't see marketing as a sin.

However, I do appreciate full disclosure and some level of honesty.

His blog post twice mentioned that it was "totally not affiliated with Starbucks.". However, if Starbucks had been paying his company for marketing, imo he would have been better off in mentioning this fact.
The pros in this post do not seem terribly credible.

First, are there companies other than Twitter that have made an API strategy work? In other words, are there lots of examples of companies for whom their open API has been critical to adoption?

Second, it seems like requiring the developers to develop an API means that now they have two problems: designing a UI and designing an API. But in any case, are there modern MVC web frameworks that don't make providing an API as easy as creating views for XML and JSON as well as HTML?

Third, has any website released their UI code as open source to help people code against their API? Is this a sensible way for people to learn how the API works?

Overall, I think there is something compelling about a single page, complete Javascript UI, but parts of this feel a bit like back-solving a justification. Are the better arguments all really UI-related and not backend-related?

You probably have to worry about hypertext in content websites (search engine indexable) but for rich web apps, pure JS UI seems to be a good option. GMail's hypertext is totally messy.

Introduction to Algorithms sells 500,000th copy
This is great news. From the beginning the CouchDB folks have been saying one of their killer features is the ability to use a local Couch in the browser for offline use, and then syncing with a remote Couch as a way to solve the perennial you-have-to-code-your-data-model-twice problem.

I feel like this was always sort of conspicuous that their "killer feature" wasn't even possible. But this code seems like a major step in that direction... and if they can deliver on that promise it gives CouchDB a serious edge over other persistence solutions in terms of code simplicity for offline-capable web apps.

And I want offline-capable web apps to make native apps fade into obscurity, so I like that.

That's a ridiculous statement. Using Alt-Tab isn't my 'problem', it's a very efficient way to cycle between a few apps in heavy use.

In general I appreciate Lion's approach to quitting/restoring things, but they have messed up the associated Dock and Alt-Tab behaviour. I wouldn't be surprised to see this fixed in an update.
I'd argue Facebook has been pretty successful with their API. It certainly sped up adoption thanks to integrated apps like Farmville.

It seems to me that the an API strategy can be very effective in making something already popular really take off. No one is going to build cool apps on top of your api unless you have users to actually leverage them. I'm always skeptical of models that depend completely on an API play.

You can make back and forward work by changing the url hash, and if you poll the hash and adjust the content accordingly, you can make unique urls work as well.

I think most javascript frameworks make this pretty easy, I am most familiar with Backbone's Router (recently renamed from Controller)

See: http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/#Router

In the future, the HTML5 history API should make this even simpler. People definitely do screw this up though.. I don't think the recent Gawker/Gizmodo redesign did this initially, and it seemed like that was one of the reasons people really hated it.

I thought about checking whether history.forward is empty as a condition for changing the location, but I don't think you're allowed to do that check...

Alternatives such as meta refreshes and non-JavaScript solutions are cool ways to solve this, but for POST calls it remains an issue...
