OK, it's also sexy, but who gives a toss?

I do! I do! (Though I won’t ever call anything that’s not a human “sexy”. Sorry.) Don’t assume that just because you don’t care for aesthetics other people also don’t. Aesthetics is one of the most important factors whenever I buy anything and there is nothing wrong with that. (People who don’t care for aesthetics always have so much trouble understanding that, it’s actually quite funny how baffled they always are.)
AFAIK Apple has patented that already.
I'd love to see NFC become more widespread for all the benefits outlined in the article. However, my wife commented that if one of NFC's main benefits as a digital wallet is to "allow me to have my 30+ cards all stored in my NFC phone", wouldn't it be easier for card companies to band together to enable a combined plastic card?

I had to admit that I didn't have a good response for her. My initial reaction was to cite the flexibility of NFC, despite how nascent it is compared to the proliferation of loyalty & credit cards, but she demolished me by stating that she would much rather prefer to carry one plastic card vs. buying a new phone.

Unless NFC becomes as dead simple as swiping plastic cards (notwithstanding the incumbency of ingrained swipe'n'sign habits), widespread adoption may be more of a challenge than optimists such as the author and me would like to believe.
What would you say to your friend if he was a terrorist?
You may know that a null pointer is always 0, but you don't know that 0 is always a null pointer -- it may be the result of subtracting an integer from itself. That's the difference.
It's safe to say it's a joke.
(in bash, OSX) if I type

$ type cd
cd is a function
cd ()
{
builtin cd "$@";
local result=$?;
__rvm_project_rvmrc;
__rvm_after_cd;
return $result
}

I don't really understand what happens, but the "builtin" looks like some sort of "super", e.g. call original cd, which would allow to chain multiple overrides, no?
Well the issue is that virtual functions are only costly when they are used an it can (trivially) be determined at compile whether they are in use or not.

On the other hand, you cannot determine if reflection will be used (not, at least without solving the halting problem) and so you have to generate the reflection code for everything.
I always thought you could put four cameras, one on each corner, and then merge the images.
MSVC Runtime already keeps names of the classes in the executable (browse the EXE and you would see it).

Really the only loss there would be memory usage. And this can be all optional - where you can waste some memory, for more information about the code currently running - the better.

There's already been such scarifies in C++ - exceptions, RTTI cannot be used everywhere - a xbox console would not handle C++ exceptions for example, yet you can still write in C++ (someone might argue that it's not C++ if it does not have exceptions)

>Why stop at coffee? //

Because missing out on a cup of coffee is not going to really affect anyone involved in this experiment in any significant way. They probably drink too much of it anyway.

>The Stanford Prison Experiment was invalidated //

Excuse me? It was a highly successful experiment it demonstrating how moral judgement can be manipulated, how people react to roles and outward signs of authority.

To say an experiment was invalidated suggests that it didn't have the right outcome, experiments don't have right outcomes they have results. Sure results can show that you should have used a different methodology or that more experimentation is needed but results aren't wrong unless they fail to show what happened in the experiment.

Your Phone Numbers and Facebook: What You Should Actually Worry About
I think you might be grossly overestimating the performance penalty of Objective C's dynamic behaviours and message passing. I did too when I started programming with it, but then I did some quick benchmarking and realised the penalty was negligible bordering on nil.

For big loops, be comforted in knowing that message passing is aggressively cached; the second and subsequent calls are barely slower than a C method call.

And for those insanely big loops, with methodForSelector: you can bypass message passing entirely and call the method directly... you speed freak.

Its not that straightforward yet, but there is a whole bunch of companies who will do much of the work if you dont want to.

You can get PCBs made up in small quantities at ok costs then you need a bunch of equipment to solder chips on. For small quantities you can do it manually. Then when you are happy you can go for volume, with automated insertion. We did this some years back in a startup.

But you can probably find an existing platform that has what you want if you dont want big volume. Eg this has two ethernets http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=DreamPlug not sure what else you need.

For power, you could use a pc style power supply. You can get them in lots of sizes and voltages.

I don't see how your elaboration on the history contradicts anything I said. This is all common knowledge. Totally understandable that Sun tried to lock MS out of tailoring their platform to Windows, and totally understandable that MS would want a good managed platform, instead of going with a flawed compromise system they didn't control.

No. Builtin does just that. It calls the implementation built into the shell, so that's the original plain cd.

If two utilities provide their cd(), the last loaded one wins. builtin cd is always the plain built in one.

You would need to check whether cd is already overridden, then rename that cd to something else and call that instead of builtin. If it's at all possible to rename functions in bash (I don't know)

If you wanted to write a year in hex, using the value mod 100 seems a weird way to do it. The hex year is 0x07DB, so if anything it would be C++DB. Or perhaps the first 3-4 hex digits of the Unix time would make sense - C++4E46.
What I don't understand: I you're so concerned that someone steals your laptop, why do you then install tracking software instead of encrypting your harddrive?

If someone steals my laptop I wouldn't care about the cost of lost hardware. Instead I'd care more about my private data that now is in the hands of someone else.
Octal 013 would be more appropriate.
If you have a guest account you can't encrypt your whole harddisk. And if my laptop gets stolen I don't care about the money but about my data falling into the wrong hands.
Grade inflation: why weren’t the instructors all giving all A’s already?
Grade inflation: why weren’t the instructors all giving all A’s already??

People have discussed why the grades have been going up and whether this is a bad thing.

I (Andrew Gelman, professor of statistics, http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/ ) have a slightly different take on all this. As a teacher who, like many others, assigns grades in an unregulated environment (that is, we have no standardized tests and no rules on how we should grade), all the incentives to toward giving only A’s.

So the real question is, why have grades been going up so slowly?

Couldn't you also use $PROMPT_COMMAND? This gets executed right before showing the prompt, so cwd would already have been called and it would be much easier to chain.

Of course you'd run more often than when hooking cd, but just checking for a new .rvmrc isn't so expensive.

The problem would probably be that you wouldn't get called from within scripts (there is no prompt there), but that could also be an advantage because it would ensure that a scripts cd would continue to work "headless".

I'd have to look into this and really see what rvm actually needs the hook for. As such I'm just thinking loudly at the moment.
"Succinct"? The book is 1000 pages and an "introduction" and the student's "first exposure", and you are comfortable with this juxtaposition?

Early in my career, I got each volume of Knuth's TACP right away and dug in. No, I didn't solve all the exercises with stars! Later I had a course. The prof covered the high points of the sorting and searching volume in about two lectures. He was correct: Those were the high points. So, the prof gave an 'introduction', in two lectures. Knuth didn't give an 'introduction'. 1000 pages ain't an 'introduction' although in depth that book often is.
The thing to remember is that Samsung is a huge conglomerate that has many different sub-division/companies.

Samsung Semiconductor is different and separate from Samsung Telecommunications. They are all under an umbrella corporation named Samsung Electronics, and that is owned by the Samsung Group. Samsung also does ship-building (Samsung Heavy Industries), engineering, and life insurances ... ;-)

Some of these companies are getting so big that it is almost becoming possible for one division or child company to sue another child company...

I don't think that Samsung Heavy Industries is losing sleep over Apple suing Samsung Telecommunications. And it would be in the best interest of Samsung to keep their telecommunications company and semiconductor company as far apart in terms of technology so that other companies would still be willing to come to them to manufacture their parts without having to worry about Samsung putting those parts in their own devices.

You did not understand my question.

The way I understand it, with Aero it will go through P2P even if I am just syncing my own machines since both are likely to be behind some sort of NAT or firewall.

> Only one of a dozen or so posts I’ve read about raising concern with it cited a concrete problem with it. It was also for an earlier version of rvm, and it may already be fixed.

The exit status issue is definitely fixed[1]. I had the problem, traced it back to rvm, popped into #rvm on irc, and it was fixed in two seconds. Wayne is exceedingly active there (and mpapis also now). Things tend to get fixed very fast.

(For the record, the other issue I had - TAB autocompletion with cd - is also fixed, though that one was more complicated. As I recall, Wayne was getting complaints from both directions. Some people reported that autocompletion for cd wasn't happening with rvm, and so Wayne added custom autocompletion for cd[2]. Then I and some others began to complain that our previously working cd autocompletion from CDPATH and/or bash-completion wasn't working. It took a couple of weeks to sort out, but now rvm's autocompletion is opt-in[3]. If you don't ask for it, you don't get it.)

It's sad that the interviewer didn't ask Mark about pre-installed Ubuntu computers for the consumer market. Mark only mentioned the increasing uptake of Ubuntu in the corporate sector. So I guess we are not going to see any major manufacturers selling consumer Ubuntu laptops any time soon.

I know there's System76 in the US, but there's nothing here in the UK. I've only found some small obscure websites selling Ubuntu laptops, but they are generally more expensive than the equivalent Windows machines. Dell used to sell some, but stopped for some reason (bullying by Microsoft?).

Why don't Canonical themselves sell Ubuntu machines?

There is a lot of momentum atm around reforming patents, with the TIL story, businessweek, Mark Cuban, etc. but I feel that despite all the attention there doesn't seem to be an end-game, ie. some sort of 'beginning of the end' for software patents or patent reform

What would it take to get this issue to the next step - ie. a house or senate committee investigation. Perhaps a petition signed by industry leaders and software developers? More lobbying?
Anonymous Conspiracies That Never Materialize
What's the most expensive part in an iPhone at the component level?

According to the teardown, it is the display ($38.50). Well, that's no surprise. (In fact, I've been quoted more to replace a broken laptop display than the price of the laptop.)

The second most expensive? It's the flash memory (16GB at $26.00). Also not surprising.

What is surprising--at least to me--is the third most expensive component. That would be the camera ($13.70).

I skipped over the "mechanicals and electro-mechanicals" ($19.97) and "other parts" ($15.19) because they are not a single part or a coherent subsystem.

The camera cost explains a lot to me. I could never figure out how the iPhone was getting such great VIDEO quality out of what on the surface appears to be the same camera as on low-end cellphones and crappy webcams. I thought that maybe the iPhone had a clever software implementation of MPEG4 encoding or something.

The answer turns out to be a really good lens and really good CCD. The camera represents almost 8% of the component cost.

Another way of looking at it is that the camera represents $43.00 of the average $560.00 sale price. I'll bet that this ratio is on par with the cost of a lens+CCD inside a camcorder.
Dunno about the rest of the world, but I don't think US courts, at least on the federal level, will accept a lawsuit between two companies under the same controlling ownership. IIRC, it violates the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution's "case or controversy" clause.
So basically expect good devs to have lots of free time on their hands to do every company's day-long test?

And you could probably sell the old one for $800. Recent Apple hardware holds it's value pretty well. The guy in line behind me for the iPad 2 launch just sold his iPad 1 that day for $100 less than he paid. So his net was paying $100 for a year of iPad 1 use (minus network fees and tax).

So when will Apple introduce hardware subscriptions?

It might be slightly off-topic, but I used to work in the same building as "Save the Children" at a swanky address in central London (this is the charity where the money ended up iirc). The employees dressed better than us and I could see (when the lift opened on their floor on the way up) that their offices were pretty awesome.

Anyway - how much of the donation actually ended up feeding starving children I guess is neither here-nor-there; at the end of the day giving to charity is usually about how it makes you feel.

If the software is open source, it makes it much harder for a malicious company/employee to install a back door into the software.

The coverage improvements would take years to build out their existing infrastructure with new base stations (erect new towers or lease space on existing towers, purchase and install equipment). By buying TMO, they would get an instantaneous coverage increase and instantaneous capability increase.

There has to be a substantial cost of opportunity if it takes them (e.g.) 5 years to build the infrastructure themselves. There also is the risk that ATT could not achieve the full coverage because it has gotten increasingly difficult to get zoning permissions to build unsightly cell towers.
Assuming the test project isn't something complicated, good devs wouldn't need to spend an entire day fixing it. It definitely would take more time than just sending CVs around, but other screening techniques take time as well, and can be a lot less effective (eg phone interviews).

2) This is really my weakness since my stats and linear algebra are passable but not great. There are several free datasets (mostly from data.gov) that I've been playing around with.
