Honestly, it's not that bad. It takes you a while to get used to it but if you look around, everyone is paying a lot of attention and it isn't actually dangerous at all - hectic, but not dangerous.

GWT is only popular because of Java. I'm not that sure if anybody would be interested in using it without the language, because it won't provide any features for regular JS developer. As a Coffeescript developer, do you need any of:

* Static typed language on client-side

* Allow your Java developers to build complex maintainable UI without advanced JS knowledge

* Reuse existing Java code

* Use Java tools (IDE, Unit testing, Build systems)

It's very hard to build a complex JS app, because even guys who develop for web in dynamic languages like PHP, Python or Ruby - usually produce the "callbacked-jquery-unmaintainable-mess" on the front end. There are tools like Backbone which are becoming more and more popular, but learning them and all new JS patterns is more complex then GWT for a regular Java developer. Supporting other JVM languages is also hard task, AFAIR GWT isn't working with JVM bytecode when converting Java to JS. Microsoft tried this way with Volta, but failed.

Cappuccino brings you a rock solid API and a language that makes this API nicely usable (you can use it without Obj-J, but it will look ugly). Look at other popular frameworks: ExtJS, SproutCore - both changed their vision heavily with latest versions. Cappuccino is aimed for Apple/Cocoa minded developers, and Obj-J seems to be the best fit the same way as GWT is for Java.

I really don't see how you can make products like GWT & Cappuccino without their languages, because the reason why they were built were those languages and tight integration in first place. Otherwise they would become yet another library of widgets.
Kids these days huh! Never knowing when and when not to use javascript and how to implement things in the most accessible manner.

Wonder how well it worked on IE6 and how many Syrian people run that browser or the latest ones...

Anyone have any stats?
No, WE are avoiding Python, Ruby and CoffeScript.

If you want good example, say "shell script" instead.

Ditto. I've been an Amazon user since the late 90s. They've got an incredible amount of user data about me, including wishlists with thousands of items. That all ends about two years ago. This is when I started buying digital books on my wife's account.

She's not much of an Amazon user, but I bought her a Kindle as a gift first, so...we already had a bunch of digital books attached to her account. So now Amazon has a lot of data about a sort of split personality woman who likes anthropology, travel, cooking, etc. as well as math, programming, photography, etc. This is a massive fail and a loss to Amazon in my mind.

The reason I don't want to buy two of everything, aside from the obvious fact that I don't do this in the real world (i.e., physical books), is that I don't expect these copies to be valid in 10 years. Any DRM-based data is likely to become invalid over time unless it's eventually stripped. Why would I pay twice for that? In addition, it's lower fidelity than the physical book or an equivalent PDF. So I'll probably have to buy it again anyway.

Apple figured this out and now sells MP3s and, ironically, Amazon also sells DRM-free MP3s. I'm sure they're trying to bring publishers into the 21st century. They're just not doing it very well yet.

If somebody sees an on-topic comment they disagree with, and posts "I disagree" with no further explanation, that's not adding value to the discussion.

If somebody sees an on-topic comment they disagree with, and downvotes it with no further explanation, that's not adding value to the discussion.

If somebody sees an off-topic comment that doesn't add value to the discussion, they should downvote it so that other people won't be distracted by it. Adding a comment saying "I downvoted you because your comment was off-topic" would add even more noise, so don't do that.

You can use a regular resistive heating coil. You can design a heating coil that will never burn out. LEDs themselves can last over 10 years. Thus the combination of led plus heating coil will last you more than ten years. Incadescents on the other hand burn out all the time especially when they need to be turned on and off very often, as in traffic lights. For an American city the upkeep of traffic lights is more expensive than the hardware. Also traffic lights that burn out will cause dangerous co fictions and may cause accidents.
The Next 10 Ebook Trends to Watch For

Are apps really that important? I figure main use would be web browsing. I hardly ever use apps on my Android phone, except for the built in ones (maps, contacts).

I even consider to go web only on my future tablet to avoid privacy issues with apps.

> I ran into problems putting up a free and paid version of the same app on the Android market

This is one of the most aggravating issues I have with the Android market at the moment. Every app that has a free version handles it differently: Some you buy a key and enter it (which means purchasing out of band), some use the Android Market micropayment system (so it often isn't clear you have to pay for the app at all), some use a free version and full version of the app (so if I play the first 15 levels in the demo, I have to play them all through again when I buy the game). C'mon, Google. Pretty common use-case here.

I think the question for most indie iPhone developers is not necessarily: is android hard? But: is android worth the time investment. For indie developers, time = money.

The range of sales for android paid apps are publicly available on the android market. Based on my own sales figures (I've been as high as #66 overall on the Top Paid iphone list) as well as knowing the sales figures of other highly ranked apps like Angry Birds and Doodle Jump, it is apparent that paid apps on android do an order of magnitude less in sales than their iOS counterparts of the same rank.

That said, I'm release my best performing iPhone app (currently makes about 1K/day) on android in a few days. So we'll see how it goes.
Continuation Passing SPOILERS:

f_success = function() {
gC(success, failure);
};
f_failure = function() {
gC(failure, failure);
};
fC(f_success, f_failure);

For me, the trick here was to forget about the words "success" and "failure" because they have too much semantics embedded. I had to re-word the problem like this: call f3, if first argument of f1 and f2 are called. All other roads lead to f4. Both f1 and f2 has to be called in the chain no matter what.

Also, this is the first time I've seen such a pattern. Is there a practical application of such pattern? I think it's ok to have a single level of closure to continue execution, but if it goes to that many levels like the sample problem, it'll be a nightmare to maintain for people who have not seen your code yet.
If what you want from a Mac is for it to work exactly like Windows, down to the last keyboard shortcut: stick with Windows. You seem perfect for each other.
You don't pay any tax in relation to the fact that a house or a car is property, it's based on (depending where you live) stuff like local services, roads, etc.

I would say that TMs are one of the most fundamental abstractions in CS - but as you note, for an abstraction they are actually quite concrete. I would perhaps argue that the lambda calculus is a slightly more fundamental abstraction - even of course they are equivalent in "power" to TMs.

> You seem like a marketing guy for the "parkour 4 hackers" putting it against traditional martial arts just like the hacker culture is against corporate culture.

I've corresponded and chatted with Zach on the phone a couple times. I've got to tell you - he's not so much a marketer for parkour as someone who has been able to reach more joy and self-perfection through a discipline.

And I train in martial arts and not parkour at all, and Zach has never given me a hard time for it ;) I don't think he's anti-anything really, he's one of the nicest and most open-minded, cool, and creative people I've connected with in the last year.

He's probably sharing on parkour because he really loves it and thinks others could have better lives through it too. I'm happy he's doing so - more education from experienced people is always welcome.
But the problem is that this feedback turns into a 'grade-based economy', where your value in the eyes of peers and parents becomes determined by the grades you get.
regarding defaulting on nominal obligations:

1) sovereigns have defaulted in the past when they've had the option to monetize their obligations. often a sovereigns debt will be heavily owned by foreigners and it is a politically better option to fuck the foreigners.
2) a monetization of debt is equivalent to a partial default. if you bought a bunch of securities so you could cash them in 10 years to buy 20 hamburgers but now you can only buy 10 hamburgers because the price level has risen faster than you expected then this is equivalent to a 50% partial default. however, bondholders would prefer a country monetizes before it partially defaults (all other things being equal) because then they don't take 100% of the burden of default.

but i think you are correct in that it is mostly willingness to pay. also, it is not just the congressman but treasury as well which came out and said it couldn't prioritise debt payments. treasury might be correct morally and legally but it doesn't inspire confidence in bondholders. :)

I work while on vacation. In fact, I'm about 4 months into a 9 month round the world trip (@ an airbnb in Munich typing this right now). All I need is electricity and wifi, and I'm good to go anywhere in the world. Granted, I can't necessarily just drop the business for an extended amount of time, but that just means traveling a bit more slowly so I can factor in time for work.
I had largely the same reaction as you.

A lot of the time you don't even have to begin... they write whole songs for you. And being a guitar player myself I know Mayer gets a lot of flack for his pop tunes.

But all snide remarks aside, listen to some of his blues stuff like the John Mayer Trio - it is nothing short of amazing, from playing and dynamics and "feeling" down to tone to gear used.
"If that means I'm not a proper iOS developer then so be it"

You will find it much more difficult to get iOS jobs if you don't use Objective-C/Cocoa. Almost every iOS job listing I've seen requires it. That's almost like trying to get a job as a web developer without knowing HTML/JS/CSS.

Just look what can be done on a C64 with 512KB RAM expansion cartridge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQqR35k4SMQ&feature=relat...

Beats most PC demos IMHO. (I'm an old C64 and Amiga hacker) That said, the 6510 and 68k don't stand a chance when it comes to compact code compared to the x86.
Another anecdote: instead of doing math homeworks and paying 100% attention to the classes I started to learn programming, because I wanted to make games. I could program stuff at 13, and - thought having bad math grades ever since - learned the material I missed later, in a way that was more/less related to game development or my other needs.
Create a stylish HTML5 template from scratch
HTML5 is certainly one of the latest buzzwords in the web community. It isn’t something new anymore and we’ve already seen how cool it is.

Features like simplified doctype, more semantic markup, input types and placeholders are just some of the reasons you’d like to use HTML5.

Today we’ll create a HTML5 website template using the full power of CSS3.

If 3D graphics performance is important to you, then don't get an MBA just yet, stick with an MBP. I've got a 2010 MBP, my biz partner has an 2011 MBA: for general CPU burning it's on a part with mine; disk I/O it obviously tears mine up. With an external screen it's pretty nice as a development machine, but personally I like the 15" high-res MBP screen too much to downgrade to an MBA.
I don't really like how this is playing out, seems every time the card gets a decent amount of funds it gets takes in 1 lump sum.

If people donating to it's money is all going to a couple of people working the system for their own gain it doesn't really motivate people to give to it.

One of the best things about this type of games is the unexpected results you can get. And I am not talking about Easter eggs or different endgames some mainstream games boast themselves with. I am talking about really unexpected game situations (or even incidents).

As if you are building a giant simulation, where a very complex software system is interacting with unpredictable human players, and nobody, including the creators of the system, knows the limits of the simulation. This is the most interesting part of this type of games. This is why we get full working computers inside Minecraft, all sort of unpredictable scenarios in Dwarf Fortress, and also some really surprising glitches like the virtual epidemic that plagued the servers of WoW in 2005, almost like a real disease:

US law in this area is largely illusory. It makes reference to "lawful orders", but provides little guidance on what would constitute an "unlawful order". Getting it wrong means prison, and getting it right can still mean prison -- the last case I heard about, the military court basically said "the order is lawful unless you are told otherwise by a superior officer", making the entire question moot.

This is exactly my experience with Android.

For instance I wanted an app that would block calls and SMSs and do a better job than the built-in functionality.

I found an ad-supported app that did the job, but the UI was awful.

So I tried to buy a non-free app that had good reviews -- problem was that the developer wouldn't allow purchases from my country, so I couldn't purchase it.

Also, as a developer Android is a poor choice for me, not because there's anything wrong with the platform, but because Google doesn't allow me to be a merchant that receives money from them (I'm not in one of the approved countries).

So the only option available to me as a developer is to release ad-supported apps. And with ads the UI experience suffers, so this automatically puts me in a don-t-give-a-shit state of mind where I don't care about experience as much as I care about volume.

This goes round and round, but on the whole I think that the quality of Android's marketplace represents an opportunity precisely because the competition is doing a poor job.
A break-in, by definition, is criminal regardless of the motivation. This would be like breaking into city hall to stage a protest -- the protest part is democratic, the break-in part is criminal.
> I should have the option though

No. This is what good software design is. The designer chose this path, offering you the option to change this is what makes software bloated and unmaintainable.
"For the Minuteman ICBM force, the US Air Force's Strategic Air Command worried that in times of need the codes would not be available, so they quietly decided to set them to 00000000; checking this combination was even present on the launch checklists. This was not changed until 1977.[7]"

If you wanna get cross-platformy, Mac is the only system where you can run and virtualise every OS. It's a web dev's dream.
Often their agenda is a salary, so they go for, and recommend, the platform most likely to make money (even per fixed number of possible customers it seems). If iOS makes more money, that's a valid reason to pick it.
Don't forget you need some kind of snow sensor - or at least a temperature sensor.

Or some kind of centralized switch.

Totally doable of course, but it does make them more complicated, more expensive and less reliable.

You would need to calculate the tradeofs. It's not automatic either way.
