If you want to limit to one then ? is simpler. Doesn't that version limit to 1+0-1 -> 1-2 though?
But why bother with a complex anchored regex when you can just search for "," in the range header.
Thanks for that. Well basically, most of the time I'm using a laptop (I'm a happy user of a new MacBook Air) for coding, surfing the web and, well, doing office stuff and that's it. I guess an iPad would be too much of a toy for me, but I'm curious anyways what people do with an iPad.

I like the documentation model of API pages with comments allowed, plus a semi-protected wiki model to edit the API pages. This allows the API maintainer to easily update, provides change history, plus allows the community to step in and provide corrections or code examples without the burden of rewriting the article.
So true. Feels also like when Michael Jordan left the NBA for good.
Oh I've forgotten about this completely. Thanks for reminding. Will read about it a little. :-)
In Dutch, there is 'jij' (colloquial 'you') and 'u' (formal 'you'). There is a trend to replace both 'jij' and 'u' by 'joe' (pronounced as the english 'you'). This eliminates the dilemma whether to address someone formally or not. The word 'joe' was popularized by Wim T. Schippers both on the radio and in his plays and TV series.
And for a more factual reply: You're making a lot of wrong assumptions.

Ahead: I will be talking about a Perl debugger.

> Information overload is just as bad as too little information.

Here you're making the assumption that such a GUI debugger would show ALL OF THE THINGS ALL THE TIME. Instead however they can be pretty damn intelligent. My weapon of choice inspects the lexical scope around the current position and displays variables around it, as such there is a window of things that the user is very likely to care about whenever the debugger stops. Then, to top it off: The debugger does not actually show all the contents of complex variables at once and instead permits it to show/hide/page their contents and remembers what state they were in when looked at the last time.

Information overload is a real problem, but technology has advanced and as long as people don't try to create actual intelligence, agents that take out the work out of certain oft-repeated tasks are viable and useful.

> Single-stepping requires a round-trip between the computer and your brain for every line of code.

Here you're making the assumption that one has to step through every single line of code to get to the place one wants to look at. In reality, breakpoints are employed instead and sometimes even conditional breakpoints, in order to avoid having to s-s-s-s on a point that's executed repeatedly with data one doesn't care about. Additionally they have nifty tools like "step out" or "step over" that permit it to make it easier to get to interesting points without going through entire irrelevant functions. And lastly, breakpoints are not static, they can easily be set or disabled at runtime, making exploration easy.

> And, it hooks into your text editor if you want that little => next to the line of code GDB is on. I've personally never found this to be useful.

Here you're making the assumption that all the code is in one file most of the time. I do not think i need to expand on that. Also, keep in mind that debuggers are often more than clever enough to realize that per-line debugging is stupid and per-statement debugging much more useful. As such, the little arrow can, for example, be really useful in showing you that your code keeps stepping on a certain line where you expected it to proceed.

> The key to debugging is to reduce the scope of the problem

When one starts using third-party libraries the debugger is stupidly useful in showing exactly where inside that library the input data is operated on, so it can actually be the best tool to reducing the scope.

> unit tests unit tests unit tests

You like them a lot. To the point where you seem to ignore that they're entirely synthetic and can mislead a lot about what actually happens when code collides with real data. Unit tests are not a debugging tool. They are self-checking documentation of your code.

Ok, i can't be arsed to write more.

Please try to understand that there are many perspectives and that insulting people will only lead to them hardening their perspectives.
This is absurd. A title is meant to be catchy. At the end of the story you learn what it is Steve Jobs did but gates could not.
There is a lot of overlap with Javascript. For example, you can also get your results in JSON.

If you take a cell and for its child you fill in just A1, you get back the scalar (x.A1 is the same as x in this case); but if you fill in A1, A2, A3 you get back the array [x,y,z] and can access it with an index; if you fill in A1, B1, C1, you get back the object: {A:"x",B:"y",C:"z"}; and of course, if you do both, you get an array of objects.
Linux Turns 20 years Old Today
That quote kills me.

I've always had an aesthetic revulsion to committing to giving people exactly what they say they want. It belies a lack of imagination on the part of the creator, and smacks of a lack of integrity. However, most of the world is set up this way, despite my status as a 'professional.'

How do you claim more autonomy? I suppose this is part of the beauty of a startup.
Happy 20th birthday, Linux
> Can't you recognize the achievements of one without belittling the other in your flamebait title?

Well... When you compare the achievements of both, Jobs' are bigger.
Love the idea! Yeah the name could use some tweaking. It's a little bit morbid and just be careful with the "grandma" part. People might remember it differently: "grandmother", "granma" etc.
If that's true and my girlfriend bags a job at Google after I've slaved over a hot browser for 10 years, I'll... probably retire and live off her.

I don't see how being able to give away games would be bad for business. I do see how trading could hurt business, but that's a narrow view of things. It might be that the ability to trade attracts more sales than the trading itself costs. I don't know if that is actually the case, but I wouldn't be too hasty to dismiss it, either.

The same goes for renting. Granting people the ability to try out a game before buying it could increase sales. Many of the games I play I don't even come close to finishing. If there were a cheaper (and easier) option to try out a game for an hour than buying the full game in a physical store and then hoping I can trade it off later on, I might very well be interested.

I never quite understood why shareware games went out of favour.
How is this being implemented? Is it a server side database and client communicate to it using HTTP Get request? Does it use POST and PUT requests too for modifying it(as in the case of REST?

Also, I'm confused about "spreadsheet is all done in pure canvas". Are you talking about canvas of HTML5?
OMAPs are a godsend compared to Freescale i.MX. They still have pages and pages of design rules in their TRM about how to lay out the RAM busses. In fact I had Freescale recommend that I just cut-and-paste their reference design because they couldn't guarantee anyone else's design would ever work.

Great post! Even the top-level commenter doesn't seem to grasp that early, rapid prototyping only works when someone is around to say "no." Since his return, that's been Steve Jobs -- full stop.

Who can replace that? AFAICT, no one at Apple can do what he does^H^H^H^Hdid. Sure, they can continue to do what he asked them to do, but the CEO job is basically unfilled.

No one in their right mind thinks Tim Cook is a replacement for Steve Jobs.

Maybe Apple survives with lower level people saying yes or no. Personally, IMO, the golden age is over. It was great while it lasted.
Agreed. Gates had been pushing the tablet concept for 10 years, and it went nowhere. In contrast, the iPad smashed its way onto the marketplace within months of release.

The only thing more astonishing than the iPad's success is that it comes off the heels of a dozen astonishing successes prior. The iPod was the first volley. The iTunes Store then revolutionised the entire freaking music industry. The iPhone then revolutionised the entire mobile marketplace.

And how the #$*! is Apple dominating the laptop computer segment? Why is Apple the only ones making a compelling notebook that doesn't have a product name ripped from pages of a lawnmower parts supply catalogue?!?
You guys NEED to get a video demoing how easy it is to make a game. Your real market isn't existing game developers. It's people who love games, and would be interested in making games, but don't quite have the chops to do it yet. Most of those people will already assume they can't make games, and not even go through the download process to see whether or not your claims are true. You have to convince them it really is that easy to make a game. So show them.

Make a video where you make a cool but simple game, like an asteroid shooter, or pong. Keep the video short, and well scripted in advance. Keep the video to 10 mins or less, have all your graphics already in place, and show non-developers really how easy this will be for them.
This is another one of the ways in which Apple is very much like Nintendo. (Others include very strong leadership; doing things their own way, standards be damned; and cultivating the brand above all else.) The inside of the N64, in particular, was astonishing.
Doesn't anything that use Gallery3D thus infringe? (every AOSP based Android phone)
> Where do you think Steam fails in this respect?

For me it's the lack of a resale option. With console games I can get them on the day they come out, beat them in a week or two and get half my money back.

This means a AAA title that costs $60.00 actually only costs me $30.00.

I haven't found a way to sell steam games yet:( This means that the same game on steam would have to cost half of what it costs in retail chains to be worth my while.

Now Steam occasionally does have such games due to sales, but it just can't compete with the new releases.
If only Lincoln had been Thomas Jefferson! We'd be doing so much better as a country right now. :(
People who can do basic arithmetic on paper have an advantage with back-of-the-envelope calculations and ballpark estimates, and will end up using such simple and effective tools more often. The mental cost of pulling out a calculator and concentrating to enter all digits in sequence is just too high sometimes.

There is also an often overlooked educational advantage in that pupils get early exposure to working with simple algorithms. Becoming used to the idea of following a sequence of unchanging steps, for varying inputs, comes in handy for understanding more complicated algorithms later on (such as those involved in algebra, calculus, and computer programming).
I do the website (my brother writes the editor), this is a great idea. Neither of us know much about making videos it will be another steep learning curve but I'll try and get them made and maybe even do some A/B testing with them. Your reasons make perfect sense - thanks for your comment!
Is there any evidence that being unable to do mental arithmetic has any correlation with understanding complicated mathematics?

All to often with articles like this I can't help but think of grouchy old people with congnitive dissonance who are now conviced that (a) young people are stupid and (b) things were better in their day and (c) since they had to learn mental arithmetic the young one should learn it too.
Just when you think that we have become masters of our own domain something like this comes along. It truly is hard to imagine that with all our technology, all our exploration, we have only just begun to understand our own world.

Man, tough audience.
Yes, I realize that it's somewhat tasteless to discuss the stock when Steve is clearly struggling with his health. I reconciled that issue a long time ago – Apple is a business, and a group of human beings at the same time.

The first thing I did when I heard the news is send Steve a thank you note.
Why Apple Doesn't Need Steve Jobs
I find the notation in the formulae extremely misguiding. All variables are user-dependant, yet for some reason the superscript x appears in every variable in the formula instead of being factored out.

In math, superscripts usually mean exponentiation. The formulae are really simple. Just take out the x completely and consider everything to be in the context of a single user.

And that's not even considering the many drawbacks of these calculations. The main one being that it encourages a lot of commenting when we don't necessarily need everybody commenting all the time, but rather when they have something useful to add to the discussion.

Lame. The language is almost trivial; what matters are the frameworks that go with it. Those were created at NeXT, and Steve Jobs was a big reason that happened.

Those frameworks (with all the updates that have been made over the years) are what run on Mac OS X and iOS today.
Wozniak: "Steve needs now to just have some 'Steve time'. He deserves it."

I worry about this. Brilliant minds wholly obsessed with their work often do not take retirement well, or long. As in:

- A week before "Eyes Wide Shut" completed post-production, Stanley Kubric died.

- A week after ending 50 years of "Peanuts", Charles Schultz died.

Other examples exist.

Better indeed he remain on the BoD of Apple in a controlling role, and/or have some other deep involvement suitable for his health. Berkley Breathed has ended Opus' forum (under whatever name) at least four times; restarting has been good for him. May jobs continue to live and breathe Apple for a long time to come, as it is his air.
Nullity? :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transreal_arithmetic#Transreal_...

We had this guy as a lecturer. Whether nullity exists or not (though James's argument is that it's as valid as j), and I have to admit his arithmetic does make some things simpler.
As far as I am concerned the iPad is the ultimate general purpose media consumption device: web browsing, video, Kindle ebooks, games etc.
If the repeatable method is, as mentioned above, "Smaller, faster, focus on human usability, make it look nice.." then we all win regardless of whether Apple does.

Do you know any b2b social network?
I'm not asking about professional networking sites like linkedin.com or sites that help you find cofounder for your startup.

I'm also not looking for business directories that lists importers/exporters.

I'm looking for a social networking site where different companies of a particular industry - Retailers,Suppliers,Manufacturers,Customers etc can connect with each other. They can find vendors offering supplies in a given location or in given price range. Basically a mix of social network, supply chain management, and CRM.

Do you know any such service? If not, will it be a good idea for startup? Should it be generic or focussed on a particular industry e.g. import/export or electronics ?
As others have said, it's a far better experience to do this than watch say a 20 second video ad or interstitial that can't be skipped. Also if they work well enough they can monetise content that previously either wouldn't have existed or only existed behind a pay wall.
There are also techniques from "metagenomics" where environmental samples are taken from ocean water captured in filters and dna-sequenced en-masse (see "Global Ocean Sampling"). It is then possible to statistically infer the number of distinct species by analyzing the sequence data.

This was first attempted in the Sargasso Sea which had been thought to be relatively sparse in microbial diversity. Instead, it was found to have a shocking number of entirely new microbial species.

The scary thing is not simply that species are going extinct, but that species which we may never know of may go extinct in the near future.
Amazon Launches Kindle Daily Deals
In your zeal to denigrate Apple you've missed the point, or perhaps you thought you were posting about Microsoft?

The iPod's success was down to the whole package, excellent product design, good (but not excellent) performance and iTunes.

Ditto the iPhone, a well designed, brilliantly conceived package together with the App Store. The whole thing, all of it, "just worked".

Saying the iPad is just a big iPhone is juvenile and speaks volumes about your analytical abilities. Apple created a successful tablet when others who had tried had not. Oh, and there was no tablet trend before the iPad, Apple created that market too.
Yes, collaborative debugging might be the case to use ideone. You might for example want to provide the input data to someones code to show up bugs in it.
As far as I am getting it the UI is nothing but an online spreadsheet application. It is just one way to use the actual database, say an example product. The actual database can be accessed through any language through http calls to create other kind of products. Basically a webDB that can be accessed using RESTful API.
Please use "insert template" and "insert sample" to start with working code.
Agree with you, it should be competitor.
Yep, I read using the Kindle app every day and since I am not a native english speaker I use this function a lot and it works quite well.
What I'm wondering is, why did your father refused to use computers? That's way beyond a mere lack of interest. So, could you give us his stated reasons, and your speculations regarding his real reasons?
Flame-bait titles invariably leads to silly arguments about why ______ did more than _______. Both Gates and Jobs have done remarkable things from which many people benefited. We don't need to compare Gates or Jobs or give the impression that either one's success came at the failing of the other.

By generating such a comparison, you've distracted your audience from the content of your post which, by the way, I enjoyed and related to. Why poison an otherwise positive post by inviting flame wars?

> Jobs: "We have to let go of a few things here. We have to let go of the notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose."

The phrase has proven to be spectacularly accurate, but it's important to parse the words correctly. They have proven that Apple can win on their own merits and not by fighting Microsoft for desktop supremacy.

In particular, the iPod, the iTunes Music Store, the iPhone and the iPad are where Apple "won" by creating new markets, and not -- arguably -- by stealing market share from Windows Mobile and Tablet products.

Apple won, and Microsoft didn't have to lose.

DISCLAIMER: I've never used Linux, partly because of the above ('which one should I pick?'). Also, I'm not trolling here, but would welcome the opportunity to understand why (to a newcomer at least) there seem to be so many variations to choose from.
I am sorry that this is how it is perceived. That was not my intention at all. A title is meant to be catchy. I made the comparison to Gates and the rest because even though they all changed my life, they did not touch me at a personal level like Jobs. This is all. Flame war was not my intention and I don't think the comments played out that way.
