There are plenty of semantics in InDesign documents. InDesign is all about character, paragraph, list and table styles – it’s what you use to make InDesign work. You wouldn’t have to add much to make those styles do all the semantic work.

Yeah, you would still be able to just ignore all that – just like you can adjust each headline individually in InDesign – but that would only mean that you are an incompetent user of the software. A good WYSIWYG editor wouldn’t always have to produce great markup but a competent user of the software should be able to easily make it produce great markup.

I’m really not that sure why adding a GUI for semantics would be so hard, especially since existing concepts like paragraph or list styles already map very well to HTML concepts.
Yup. I would still have happily used it. Now there is just no telling what else they may do without telling users.

I wasn't aware of these efforts to block the merger before reading this article. After reading about them, and AT&T's attempts to sue them away, I'm actually making a point of filing a complaint against the merger today.

Thanks AT&T, for calling to my attention a means by which I can help to try punishing you for your persistent and longstanding shittiness as a company.
It does explain something of a paradox - why do poor middle Americans support policies that harm them in the short term? Why does the guy who lost his job when a PE firm bought his factory vote for a party that supports a very low tax rate on the PE carried income? (This is ignoring whether it's right or wrong in the broader sense) Why don't the poorer 51% unanimously vote tax hikes on the wealthier 49%? I assumed it was because they still wanted to support the party that appeared stronger on defense, or lined up with their social values. This article uses behavioral economics to suggest a different interpretation.
Oh, I've been looking for something like this forever.
Thanks.

I think he makes some valid points. At first I was a bit ticked off that he is redefining what operating system means somewhat. But he is right in many ways and what really counts is the user experience(End user and developer). What mainly defines the user experience is the environment and GNOME is one. He touches on more than that and he does not leave out what is lower on the software stack. His confidence in the vision they have reassures me a bit that the linux desktop is still on the right way.
Sharing ideas is great, it's just the charging for it that doesn't make sense to me.
Looks a lot like Khanacademy's Scratchpad they recently open sourced.
He explains in great detail how he wants to make somthing that matters, fulfills him and has an impact on society and then he came up with toutapp, a product for mass emailing???
Seek solace in the fact that you have a cost advantage over other US-based startups. For example, where I live, I only need to make US$0.30 to get a US$1 equivalent in the country where I'm based, making it much easier to attain ramen profitability.
All the effort developers are putting into complaining about people on iOS 5 Beta leaving negative reviews could better be spent testing and fixing their app for iOS 5.

Are you going to complain when iOS 5 goes live and your app still isn't ready because you stayed up until 2am writing that blog post rant instead of ironing out that last bug?

Even if Apple blocks iOS 5 devices from leaving reviews, you can still leave a review through iTunes.
I have read two reports of major outages in the last month. The service hasn't been online for much longer than that.
IE10 isn't even close to done. At any rate, see the huge jump in HTML5 compatibility? IE raising the bar so much is a big win. In many corporations, IE is the only browser that people care about. Becoming more compliant means it's easier for developers to write "standard" web apps.
I don't see how this is different from having a huge mainframe to simulate an ANN with billions of neurons. First of all, they are using integrate and fire (or Izhikevich) models that are very simplistic and have already been studied since the 60s. Neurons are not like that at all and one needs a higher level of detail to successfully reproduce their output. The idea here is that if you cram too many IF neurons in a way that resembles the connections in the human brain you will have some thinking machine. I don't think so.

I think Markram's response to the "cat brain" project is still valid to a large degree. He has proposed the "Human Brain Project" instead, that will attempt to simulate a brain bio-realistically, the analogous of an "LHC for neuroscience" which imho, is more important:

Not in my opinion. I think you owe the user a clear indication about that it is an add, and from who the add comes. Just modifying pages like that is malware behavior.

If they clearly tell me it's their add then I can chose if I want the extension or not, so removable adds is less of an issue.
Cant wait for iOS 6 which includes VOIP so AT&T can remove all but their unlimited calling plan with forced international package too.

>My professional experience involves enough interaction with extraordinarily talented engineers who have extremely abrasive personalities. Often, that abrasiveness is a side effect of their talent: the same ability which allows these talented men and women to see through the complexity and grasp the conceptually simple steps necessary to solve the problem also helps them see through the seemingly-meaningless boilerplate and social grease that we call people skills.

Or they are just socially inept.

With the same approach I could propose that these talented engineers just see through the meaningless of distance running and hence are unable to run a mile under 4:10. Why, isn't it because they suck at running? Oh no, not that. They just _choose not to run a mile faster than 4:10_, right? No, not right. Why?

Why? Because! If you are a genius at A that doesn't necessarily mean you're a genius at B, C, D, E, F and all the other areas.

Let's not even talk about geniuses, most of the "oh, I can be an asshole" attitude comes from people who haven't actually accomplished anything that great for humanity.

I might be one of the few here who has a facebook account with 0 friends and never really use it. So the results are very interesting as they contain people who I know but do not interact with. Some of them must be from profile searches I have performed but I cannot explain the others. I am inclined to believe they must be incorporating 'other users behavior on the site'.
Complete rewrites are considered bad because over time code accumulates implementations of below-surface knowledge that often gets overlooked and can take a lot of time to re-discover. Edge cases, debugging voodoo, pony requests - there are lots of reasons why this happens. Pseudocode example: if users A,C,P try to submit report x on dates y1...y3 make sure to remind them of policy change z. Because this type of code often is very chaotically codified in the physical world - your German intern, who documented his code in English and German and passed away last summer in a freak glockenspiel accident, rest his soul, received a bunch of bug reports through email, the old bugtracker and fax from your European customers - it may be very easy to miss during the requirements gathering phase of your rewrite.

On the other hand, if you're about to become as big as Twitter and Facebook wrt managing users, data, latency and traffic, you'll have to do all kinds of performance optimizations throughout your entire tech stack. This might involve rewriting your code because your code is based on fundamentally flawed design decisions (hey, non-concurrent code seem like an fine idea when you started out with your batch processing but pretty soon you'll need to time travel if those nightly cronjobs are to be finished in time) or too cthulhulian to mantain anymore. But then again, 99.99999% of all sites simply don't consistently experience performance issues on the same level as Twitter or Facebook, so that's another reason why you should focus on agility and delivering value instead of performance (unless, of course, performance truly is a key feature) initially in a software project.

I agree that coding your design into HTML/CSS is a waste of time generally. I've had good luck with PSD-to-HTML services.

So instead of Adobe automagically converting my design to HTML/CSS/images, you get humans from India (or wherever) doing it by hand.

For $100 - $200 you can get clean, cross-browser, easily tweakable HTML/CSS and images. And you get it in 24 hrs.

I've used www.psd2html.com a few times and the quality was quite high.

Hi Arnorhs,
I am Alexandru working for Adobe, and I recently took over Business Catalyst.

We did read your review and took it at heart - it wasn't easy as you were very direct. However, there is a lot of truth in your review and there's a lot for us to improve. And believe me, that's our goal - to improve the product until customers love it and we have folks like you give us much better reviews :) - because you would actually like the product.

I'd love to chat with you and try to show you where we're going and get your perspective on what should we do differently. Your feedback would be very important for us.

If you're interested, please contact me at acostin@adobe.com

Sincerely,

Alexandru

I was once again reminded of this blog entry when I saw the AES finalists' scoreboard slide.
Microsoft fans (just like any other) consider any unfavorable comment about any Microsoft product (or any favorable comment about any competitor) a personal attack. Since the company is so huge, has so many products and competes with so many companies, you have to either watch your words carefully or stop caring for their hurt feelings.
Interesting. It seems like, if you had more traffic, it would work better. You have the typical chicken/egg problem of a marketplace: just not enough matching. The same problem dating sites have.

One possible approach: limit your site, to only 1 university, or only 1 topic (law or something). That might increase that match rate.
Complete rewrites are considered bad, yes.

However, IF the codebase is really, really bad, or your requirements have changed a LOT, and there is little learning embedded in your code, complete rewrites may be necessary/useful.
Thank you all. For users of DDG - You can use the !icon to search Iconfinder directly.
I know this is anecdotal but the majority of people I see on the bus have iPhones.

I noticed virtually the same last time I was there in 2010. But one thing I'll never underestimate is the power of trends in Korean purchasing patterns. Once something gets popular, everybody has to have it, no matter what it is.
We should do a tighter integration so when someone searches for icon x we show some in the 0-click box.
> It is also worth noting that, in the history of the company, Groupon has raised a total of $1.1 billion of cash--and paid out $942 million of that cash to its early investors and executives (highly unusual for such a young company). If Groupon does get into cash trouble, therefore, it will not be because the company didn't discover an amazing new business opportunity or raise all the capital it needed. It will be because of, well, greed.

Can this really be correct? Has there ever been another company that raised this much and spent nearly All of it Paying off old investors and insiders before going public?
What Are The Odds Of Another 20% Market Collapse?
there no reason that they need 5 different models of 15 inch XPS laptop shown on the page. What they should do is have one model and let you customize that to your will. Obviously internally that might affect some things like the mobo choice and all but user wise it's a lot simpler. You can still have your add in card as you want, at least you get to see the exact amount it adds to your machine. When it's already all packaged up you don't see it.

This is a common misconception. Advances in neuronal simulation do not at all map to traditional computing. The mere fact of running on a computer does not mean the simulated brain gains features intuitively expected of a computer (like rapid maths, or being able to copy knowledge).

However, this article fails to explain a similar paradox - why do rich blue state Americans support policies that harm them in the short run?

I've always gone with "expressing tribal affiliation" as a good explanation. Since your vote doesn't matter, why not try to raise your status by voting in order to raise your status and signal tribal loyalties?

Wouldn't the gang leader just get the cop on the payroll to give him the new code when the radio stops working again?

I'm sorry if I hurt somebody's feelings (though, that was not my objective).

There were a lot of positive articles on-line when I was evaluating BC. But I later found out that most of them are written by various BC-partners (a good business decision there) - but that also meant that they were a bit biased and skipped over the bad parts.

I'll send you an email. I'm pretty sure Adobe is able to make it better (I'm an avid adobe fan mind you)

Project Athena: The accident that invented the modern computing experience
While he is obviously correct, the fact that it comes from him is what makes it both a story and a non-story at the same time. Really it's a non-story, because even if he didn't think this was the case, it would be the right PR spin for his company to put on it.
If the rekeying protocol is performed over the air, how does rekeying help in your corrupt cop/gang leader scenario? It doesn't.

Wouldn't the gang leader's radio get the new keys along with all the other radios? Yes.

I can't see how rekeying over the air is in anyway a good idea. It doesn't seem to stop any attacks but leads to failure modes. From my understanding, the new keys are transmitted over the air using existing keys. Thus, if your radio is off when the over the air rekeying happens, you don't get the new keys and thus can't talk to anyone in encrypted mode. This causes the fall back to clear mode and thus sensitive information possibly leaking out.
Brilliant!

That seems very similar to real life heuristics, actually...

Folks are saying here how choosing a right heuristics is important. That's right but there's another catch:

For something more real (ie. graph containing more edges) A* needs priority queue for openset to extract the node with minimum f() in log time at most; also note such structure needs to delete previously stored entry by node not by f(), which is not something priority queue has by default - another area to fine tune in order to avoid time explosion.
Firefox's About window

1st rule: You do not talk about your cell phone OS.
When I completed a CS degree in '88 I remember thinking that what it was really doing was lining you up to possibly go on to do postgraduate research - which I did eventually do. If you aren't going to be doing something that is vaguely like research then I'm struggling to see the relevance of CS degrees for most development jobs.

Universities are really rather splendid places for research and absolutely awful at vocational training!
Why the downvote? "crooks" implies criminality. Is that really what is being suggested?
This has been around for a good while but still gets me reading it every time.

It's also a great example of taking an incredibly complex subject and cutting it down to various levels of understanding.
I wish this attitude wasn't so pervasive on HN. Who are we to judge if toutapp fulfills him and meets his standard of something meaningful?

At $0.25 per, it really does not matter. Even at higher costs, the customer mix would need to be pretty horrible to compete unfavorably with traditional advertising where you very well might get zero custo,ers for your outlay.
Agree absolutely.

I'd long ago decided that even with the £3,000 per year fees (which Labour said they wouldn't do in their election manifesto, got an overall majority then did anyway - remember that Aaron Porter and others slamming the LibDems at the moment), the investment in a degree before a career in software just didn't seem to add up. Realistically a £25k debt against a 3 year delay in starting a career - you may well earn less for the first few years but by the time you've paid off that £25k, is the degree really going to be a differentiating factor?

With now £27k just on tuition, plus living expenses for three years, what's the point? Honestly, I learnt more that I use professionally at A level than in my degree, let alone what I've learnt professionally. Sad to say this but I would actively recommend against an 18 year old with an interest in working in IT studying at university, the way things are at the moment.
Speaking of which, "Adobe Air is not available for your system." :-P

This is FUD. He doesn't seem to think there's any danger to other manufacturers shipping Windows phones. Wouldn't they be in a similar situation due to the MS/Nokia partnership?

I am doubtful that this will have any significant impact on manufacturers shipping Android phones. Google has always had their own model. Now they can bring it in house. This deal was likely more to do with patents anyway. There are plenty of pieces of pie to go around and the whole thing is still growing at the same time.
I think CPanel/WebHostManager should have been included, whether you like or dislike it, it's by far the most popular web interface on hosted servers
So you claim to have "significant data" but the first thing you do is throw out huge swaths of it because it's not actually significant?

Also regarding graph 2's commentary, 0.51 is not "almost" double 0.34. It turns out to be only 1.5x, so calling it "almost double" is about as meaningful as calling it "almost the same".
I think developers should be conscious of the underlying performance issues/workarounds of their platforms and technologies and implement those early. There is nothing worse than wasting capital early just because you have to throw servers at something once you hit exponential growth.
