On the face of it, all thing being equal, your graph supports your point. However, all things are not equal.

Your graph shows no growth in family income between 1970 and 2007.

But in 1970, Dad worked a shift and maybe Mom, while in 2007, to make the same money, Dad works two jobs and so does Mom.

That was rather the whole point of the original article, but you seem to have missed it. People may have the same amount of money, but a) they work every waking hour of the day and b) they have other costs that offset the income, such as health care. But they could have state-paid butlers washing their clothes and cooking their meals and it wouldn't offset the lower quality of life that comes from working multiple jobs, never seeing their kids, and being homeless the moment they get sick.
I sincerely hope so -- I looked and it wasn't April fool's day tho...
Why do you say that? The post doesn't mention Java, and is talking about an area (in-browser scripting) in which Java is largely irrelevant.

PureBiotix HCG
I sense I'll only reinvent the wheel. PureBiotix HCG is also known as one of the best choices. Look, it's another subject. Assuredly, at least I know that I am cut out for that. Permit me ask you this question but it's the time to get off the hamster wheel. Sort of funny, don't you expect? PureBiotix HCG is hard to resist. There is an ongoing stream of PureBiotix HCG.
To the contrary of the contrary - if you look at the chart, you'll see that in the late seventies and earliest eighties there were stops to the growth of wages, but they coincided with stops to the growth of productivity. It is well after Reagan took office that the two graphs start diverging - the productivity rises steadily, BUT wages don't.

As to the economic woes of the seventies, how much did they depend on policy, and how much did they depend on the oil crises? Anyway, I don't argue that everything was perfect before Reagan. I just argue that wages stopped being tied to productivity after him.

That a personal perspective. Say some big company Google let me hanging for 2 months before sending me an automated "we are sorry" mail, I will be mighty pissed, but I won't take it out on some other company which was responsive.

I went through picking a payment provider recently as well. I ended up going with Stripe[1]. It is currently in a closed beta, but if you request an account they are activating after around a week of waiting (you could also try emailing them).

Strip is brilliant - I wish I had it 10 years ago instead of dealing with Paypal or banks and merchant accounts

BS. Syntax is exactly like fashionable clothes. It's irrelevant to how warm your clothes are.

The number of developer years wasted coming up with yet another programming language or syntax is staggering.

It's a solved problem. Pick an existing syntax and use it.

You don't see people endlessly coming up with new syntax for math do you. We've got one, it works well, so we use it.

Apple delivers better value than their competitors in part because they master the supply chain. They buy such a large quantity of parts for their focused product lines, nobody can compete on scale.
Then why don't they? Why doesn't Lenovo simply their offerings and only offer 3 panels? They'd be cheaper and higher quality.

That's the entire point of this article.
Technology - Keeping poor people poor
That was Go's cat example not mine (I just copied and pasted what was needed for the e.g. to work) - and they both delegated to underlying system/lib calls to do the actual work.

The examples do show how to create a higher-level 'File' api to encapsulate lower level os functions, which was the primary motive for their example. The readability of on the different approaches on how to do this is clear in both source files.

As for the dynamic vs static argument, well I've added the C# version (sync and streaming) both of which are still less code and more intuitive than go's.

1) It's not like the docs don't recommend against it.

2) As of Perl 5+ it's evaluated at compile-time rather than run-time, which is not as bad as if you could flip back and forth at runtime. Though you can use 'local' to lexically scope its effects -- hilarity ensues as you hand off said code to someone else for maintenance.

3) It's from a different era. As per the docs:

Default is 0, but you could theoretically set
it to 1 to make Perl behave more like awk (or
Fortran)

It's there to help you emulate awk or Fortran... definitely targeted at today's young programmers. ;-)

[ Though the core of SciPy/NumPy is notably written in Fortran. Not quite as dead as some would have you believe. ]
With #2 you're being disingenuous. All computers need some work, but PCs require much more work to uninstall crapware.

As for #3, only one of the laptops you listed fits comfortably in my girlfriend's purse. As for the Air's hard drive? She has zero complaints, and I doubt her (or many others) would notice tiny differences in sequential read times (which is, I think, a measure of app-opening performance).
Or more subtly:

#define break continue

Or Ruby:

irb(main):001:0> if 0
irb(main):002:1> print "True!"
irb(main):003:1> end
True!=> nil

(Though the Ruby example probably not as horrific as the others)
Thanks for the post.
That's probably the least of your concerns, especially when you have a near monopoly in the search business.

I think by choosing a not so unique name, they're ensuring that people remember to prefix these names with Google (Google Go, Google Dash etc). This should has a significant effect on Google's branding.

I found Cryptonomicon a painfully long slog. I enjoyed it overall, but only read it because of having read Snow Crash and Zodiac first. I love Stephenson's humor with technical issues. I suppose I should read some of his longer, er, later books.
I think both the analog port and the hdmi port are available on both versions (model A and model B, shades of the BBC micro). THe only difference between the 2 is the amount of RAM (128 vs 256) and the IO (1 USB vs 2USB + Ethernet). Be aware that the B's 2 USB + ETHERNET are internally connected to the Broadcom's single USB port though... you're not adding bandwidth, just ports.
can you tell us more about where you advertised, what the rates and returns were like, and if you used anything to measure ad ROI?
Depends on what you like. Permutation City and Diaspora are fan favorites. They are heavy on idea porn but not very good yarns. That goes for most of Egan's books. His short stories are probably his most polished works because the form's constraints force him to keep everything tight. But on the flip side it means he doesn't have time to develop his ideas in great depth.

If you're a programmer, Permutation City would be my recommendation. If you're more mathematically inclined, Diaspora is a good choice. Just so you know what kind of book you'd be in for, the first chapter of Diaspora has a proof outline of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem. His short story The Planck Dive gives a good flavor of Diaspora: http://gregegan.customer.netspace.net.au/PLANCK/Complete/Pla...

Your comparison is unfair, because CoffeeScript and Go try to do vastly different things. Go is a fairly low level systems language, while CoffeeScript is as high level as it gets.

That said, what Go achieves with its syntax is remarkable, imho.

Consider this: How do you add another function (e.g. "close()") to your file class in CoffeeScript? By extending the existing class into a "MyFile" class? But then you have to make sure all your "File" instances are actually instances of "MyFile", so you can call your newly defined function on them.

In Go you just define the new function.

Rip eWriting pad lets you jot down notes, save and export them too
I think it's a ripe field for experimentation at this point, as it's a very entertaining way to present information. There is/was a series in Australia called Hungry Beast, which produced "Beast File" segments that used kinetic typography in the same manner as this video:

Stuxnet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0pi4J8auQ

Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfV6RzE30

Apple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj9JVXzoOYQ

There are more of these segments, but a lot of them have to do with Australian politics / corporations. I've watched them all because I adore the style but it might not be for everyone :)

In addition, there have been several labours of love which really showcase what's possible when you make a full production out of such a work, such as this amazing piece of kinetic typography / video done to Jonathan Coulton's Shop-Vac:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4sOfO8Ei1g

Any potential company would have their work cut out for them to allow user-generated content to even get close to the above segments, but as the current crop of tools are general professional-level tools (Adobe After-Affects / Premiere or related) there's definitely a specialized gap here.
If a 1 offset under the system the guy advocates means what a 0 normally does, that implies that a +1 vote means the same thing as a +0 vote. So Guido is "agreeing" that it deserves +1, but only if you use 1-indexing so +1 is the lowest possible vote.
I don't think that's a good rule at all. Ender's game a is popular children's novel and is likely remembered fondly in any techie/nerd/geek setting. It just shouldn't belong at the top of a "best of scifi" list.

This is good, as it improves the code's readability.

> ...but the other half is actual code reduction/simplification, mostly from loop comprehensions.

This may not be good, as it can reduce the code's readability. List comprehension should only be used moderately, else you will end up with this:

Also, with python, at least you gain performance advantage by using list comprehension.
It's great that in some places there are such people in government. There are already a lot of laws and most people can't be expected to remember all those laws. It causes selective enforcement which leads to corruption.

The problem with what Apple does to its advantage is that it isnt really always in the consumer's best interest. Gruber shines light only on how it is working great for Apple but ignores the fact that people have by and large benefited from having choices.

For people who get real work done the specs matter. The fact that Peter Bright wanted anything but an Apple says something. But there is also a section of users that value form more than anything and barely do anything other than browsing/email/videos - Apple caters to them and does well. That doesnt mean every other manufacturer should start doing the same thing. That we can have cheaper, configurable and user serviceable laptops today is a good thing. That we can buy any hardware peripheral today and reasonably expect it to work with our PCs is a great thing.

Gruber should boast if Apple was able to offer more choice at competitive price because then it will be also good for the consumer. I for one dont want to see the world go to doing less with more where I cannot service my laptop by visiting manufacturers support site, where I cannot have the ports I need on my laptop reasonably spaced from each other etc. Having the ability to have USB3 port for next to no additional buck and having cheap peripherals available today is a result of choice culture and mindlessly praising some $CORP for limiting choice and maximising their profits just suppresses that.

Thats the whole issue with Gruber and company ~ They seldom think rationally from a consumer standpoint and just seek to blindly rally their followers to the corporation's cause.
May I ask you what is an average vacation time per year in your company?
I'm pretty sure he means when you just go round ringing people's doorbells and asking them if you can put up your tent in their garden for a night.

The few times I've done this the people who allowed me to use their garden turned out to be incredibly generous as well. Inviting you to dinner, giving you candy, soda etc...

I don't think either that it would be equally as fun if it weren't spontaneous.
Such comments are more appropriately posted at the blog itself.

They're horrifically effective at what? I kind of doubt the answer is "matching the job with a great candidate quickly." I would imagine it's something more like "getting a lot of responses," which IMO is the opposite of what you should really want out of a hiring call.
I found both to be some of the most rewarding stories I read. With both, upon finishing them, I spent another hour just thinking about it. Highly recommended!
I wouldn't call the default screen shitty.
Google SSL Search (isn't it ironic?)
I don't follow your logic. How does Apple catering to a subset of consumers mean they are not acting in the consumer's best interest. From the standpoint of the consumers they cater to, they are. From the standpoint of those they don't cater to, I suppose they don't. Having more choice at a competitive price is not "good for the consumer", it's only good for consumers who want more choice at a competitive price. And as Apple has shown, that isn't everybody.
"he doesn’t want an Air running Windows using Boot Camp because he doesn’t like Apple’s U.K. keyboard"

What is it this says? That for another manufacturer he could have several choices of keyboards for their laptops?
It is Dart.
Thank you for the data.

As is so often the case, it comes down to how you interpret it and put it into relation to other things going on in the economy.

So real consumption is slightly above the previous peak. Now if productivity has increased in the three years that consumption had this "U" shape, it means the same amount of consumption goods and services can now be produced using less labour. This means that even though GDP may have returned to its previous peak level, this level of GDP is now accompanied by higher unemployment - unless new jobs have been created by something else.

A typical candidate for such job creation would be investment. However, given that consumption has only barely increased over the previous peak, there is currently little need for companies to make investments to satisfy consumption demand.

So I admit to not looking up the latest numbers before making my post, then I would have rephrased my statement. What's clear is that consumption hasn't returned to the previous trend (and probably won't), and that's a problem for the recovery (especially compared to the recovery from the 2000 recession, for example, where consumption did not deviate from the trend as the graph you linked to shows).
> Can you even imagine Apple offering such an option?

They do, actually. The 15" MBP has a "High-Res" option and most (all?) MBPs have a "matte" display option (~$50 on the base glossy glass screen).
If you can write a bot that posts cogent arguments in favor of Apple products, you can put Gruber out of a job. Kill two birds with one stone!

Scala - Parallelism & Performance: Why O-notation matters
You don't need to parse every little piece of syntactic sugar that is introduced by various shells. You're trying to produce something that will be parsed as a string literal. For the most part, non-alpha-numeric characters should just be escaped. If all non-[:alphanum:] characters were escaped regardless of need, I can't think of anything that would accidentally parse as anything dynamic in any of the shells out there.

Also, the most common case would be system(sprintf(...)). This should just pass the command onto the shell in compatibility mode, meaning most of the extra sugar should be disabled. Even all of zsh's string parsing sugar needs to be turned on (disabled by default).

Ignoring all of that, the most common thing that you want properly escaped would be:

- Semi-colon to prevent injection.

- Spaces to make sure that the string is parsed as a single arg.

- Quotes and double-quotes because you want them to be part of the argument text and not part of the shell's syntax.

Even that short list of requirements would be useful.
It seems to me that you are implicitly assuming that savings always equal investments. This is not true. Savings minus investments is the private sector balance, which has varied wildly, see e.g. the graph here: http://pragcap.com/sectoral-balances-and-the-united-states

So, looking at the charts it seems that since productivity went up, more people should be enjoying more spare time and less work. And to an extent, this has indeed happened despite our resistance: it's just that in our society we call it unemployment and in fact punish people for it, both socially and bureaucratically.
Copyright protection is granted on the promise that the work will eventually be given to the public domain. As this is obviously never going to happen, I say the copyright holders have failed to hold up their end of the bargain, and we as a society has no longer any obligation to protect their works.

The claim made is that copyright must be extended to properly encourage the creation of new works of art. Beatles' made their entire discography under copyright laws which would put their works in the public domain by now. Seemingly the shorter copyright didn't stop them from recording music back then. And how has extending copyright encouraged them to make more music? Right. It haven't.

With the public domain effectively a thing of the past, we should do away with copyright as well.
Not to detract from your point of vastly different things, but you picked a bad example. You add a method to the prototype:
