If Intel could move down market successfully don't you think we would have seen a reasonable IA facsimile of an iPhone or an iPad after all these years?

No, chip design doesn't work that quickly. Intel has accelerated their development program for Atom[1], but at the moment Intel doesn't have a processor that competes at the power usage of current smart phones. Atom is supposed to get there in 2012 - they are usually pretty reliable (see Intel's Tick/Tock strategy[2]), but we'll see.

They are planning to do 22nm Atoms in 2013, and 14nm in 2014. TSMC is supposed to start shipping ARM on 28nm in Q4 2011[3], but historically they are usually late. TSMC is allegedly planning a 20nm fab, but it is unclear how far off that is.

Nokia (remember them?) was signed up to do smartphones on Atom in 2012, but then they switched to WinMo (which is ARM only).

I personally don't think they'll do well in smartphone, but tablets is a whole other market.

ARM,as a mobile optimized architecture, will never compete on performance grounds with IA

That's not what nVidia think[4]. There are 32/64bit issues with ARM, but beyond that there is little in the architecture itself that means it can't compete with IA.

I've only seen books where you absorb textual descriptions of what's happening by deciphering sentences and paragraphs written in some vague form of language which leaves using your imagination to be the only way to actually make it vivid and real. But, I probably don't know everything.

Films are a bit different because they inevitably offer some visual scene that is much more pre-set than a book can ever offer. But there comes the art of cinematography which, like any art, is about showing pointers to what can't be seen. This approach has become more rare yet it would be very useful especially in dramatizing these action and horror films that, these days,diverge from it most.

It's often much more effective to not show what's happening than detailed takes of the action. A cliche is that the first time an alien or a fictional monster is shown on the screen, the film will falls flat because the unrealistic visual mock-up blatantly kills all chance for your imagination to do its job. Similarly a hectic fighting scene just gets lost in the action but the same could be filmed differently, showing something that all the fighting points to, instead of showing the fighting itself. With books, they say that a writer should describe what happens instead of writing his interpretation of it.
government is immoral. Government is therefore a criminal organization

Well, the simplest of the logic errors there is that one. Immoral does not equal illegal. I'm not even going to get into the fact that it's not always wrong to force people to do things.
Sounds like it'd be worth a read. I found an example I remembered from The Big Short, finance rather than tech: "Their clothes told you a lot, too. The guys who ran money dressed as if they were going to a Yankees game. Their financial performance was supposed to be all that mattered about them, and so it caused suspicion if they dressed too well. If you saw a buy-side guy in a suit, it usually meant he was in trouble, or schedule to meet with someone who had given him money, or both. Beyond that, it was hard to tell much about a buy-side person from what he was wearing. The sell side, on the other hand, might as well have been wearing their business cards: The guy in the blazer and khakis was a broker at a second-tier firm; the guy in the three-thousand-dollar suit and the hair just so was an investment banker at J.P. Morgan or someplace like that."

Is there any particular reason I shouldn't want to send advertising emails, generate pages, or buy domain names en-masse with the hope of generating revenue? I'm not doing anything harmful (hence the exclusion of phishing) -- and I'm making money.

People value all sorts of ridiculous things like homeopathic "remedies", psychic readings, and bullshit seeds on Farmville, how are those any better than spamming or content farming? I'd argue that the first two, at least, are far worse.

For that matter, how is the threshold of "acceptable value" set so that we don't similarly condemn, Facebook or 37Signals or SEO firms, for doing work of much less value than say, drug discovery or computer security -- especially when these are all within reach of the same CS grads?

Do Google's adwords count as creating value? Because they're how it makes it's money, search -- which creates value -- is just used to bring people in. If that separation of value creation/profit is all right, then is it okay to make millions spamming and give it to an efficient charity (as below)? If not, why not?

All people are--more or less--lost in their heart, held by beliefs, limited by fears, being ripped in pieces among several opposing forces in life, or just freaks in general. That pretty much comes in the package of being a human.

The term mental illness ought to be reserved for individuals who truly need hospitalized or at least serious treatment in order to cope at all. Nobody can keep everything together all the time but that's just normal. Depressions are normal, anxiety is normal, fear is normal, neurosis is normal, everything is normal unless it actually renders you completely inoperable so that you become a danger to yourself or others.

IANAP but you argue based on the fallacy that depression would be the opposite of happiness. FYI, happiness is to sadness as mania is to depression.

"Alcohol dependence" is the medical term for alcoholism. There are people who drink too much, want to drink less, see their lives and loved ones destroyed by their drinking, yet they can't stop drinking. Welcome to the world of addictions.

As a layman it's easy to understand someone is ill when they have bad fever or other visible, physical problems preventing them from living a normal life. It's not so easy when it's constant pain or headaches that you can't "prove".
It's even less easy when it's a mental illness that you can't really even start to image unless you experience it yourself such as the anxiety attacks or the obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I agree the modern society and way of life makes the problem worse by being more mentally demanding, but I'm sure there's always been mental illness. It's something that people need outside understanding and help to cope with -- just like physical illness.
Completely disagree about Ruby on Rails, the experience of using happstack ( http://happstack.com/index.html ) blows it out of the water.

The RAM Cloud database is really natural to use; it eliminates problems like object-relational mismatch and SQL injection by letting you do everything in idiomatic Haskell.

Plus, the type-system, monads, and algebraic datatypes make it much easier to write clean, correct code. Albeit, only once you've passed the learning curve.

For the record, this guy is either going for the long troll writing these sorts of absurd nostalgic pieces, or is really this enamored with the classicist "pure" world of computing of the 70s that he's still stuck in. He's been writing these sorts of patronizing, wringing-of-hands pieces for years that honestly belong more in comp.lang.lisp more than anywhere else. Always yearning for the good ol days and talking about how we're in some sort of technological Dark Ages is his thing. Shame he's such a verbose critic of everything new to come across his way instead of someone who actually builds or does something.

I've done a little bit of fasting (I'm actually breaking a fast right now), it really is as simple as that: you simply start seeing whatever it is as not important. Sliverstorm, beagle3 and gwern are exactly right I think.

What you wanted - food - was just a result of you thinking you wanted it. And that was mostly just a result of associating it with the thought of 'need'. But our bodies are apparently made to not bother us needlessly - it's not the body that's bothering us.

When you fast, rather, you go through the whole range of conditioned responses YOU have created to food. But you don't fight them, instead you get to just kind of say 'yeah, that's an interesting thing I've created' and go on with what you're doing. But once you know they are just that, nothing is stopping you. It's a little bit like meditation, where when you notice a thought, you'll simply label it a thought, and its power goes away.

And since you 'know' you will take great care of your body, now and whenever you break the fast (and please do that, follow the instructions, and break it gently, like a part of fasting, rather than straight back to old habits - your pancreas & co will thank you...), there's no crisis thinking or anxiety to it. Rather you get to be alone with your body and your thoughts.

I like it, because it is actually sort of easier to focus when there's just my body doing its things, vs the body with a lot of food it's having to digest, and blood sugar levels going up and down all over the place.

You get to really want something else instead, rather than associating/replacing all sorts of wants with food, if that's what you've done before. It's like realizing those wants are yours and owning them as that, rather than being owned by them when you think it is 'needs'.

Eating regularly is just a routine - probably a good one if it is done right - but there's so much extra luggage, so much extra use, that we put on top.

We really have a lot more power than that. It's not us against the body, it's us thanks to the body. Not thanks to the food - we eat much more than we 'need'.
> Gandi.net SSL cert: $0 with domain registration

I am a happy Gandi.net customer but I had never heard of this! Looking back it's mentioned in the renewal confirmation email "Did you know? Since February 20th 2009, when you create a domain name at Gandi, you also benefit from a standard Gandi SSL certificate for one year!" but of course I didn't pay much attention to those.

The fine print for the SSL certificate is "Included for free the first year with the purchase, transfer, or renewal of your domain name. €12 euros excl. vat per year for its renewal. Offer valid until December 31st, 2011."

1) Inflation does discriminate between income types, in the following manner. If there's 5% annual inflation and somebody pays you a dollar for some work today, you're getting one dollar in whatever today's dollar is worth, and you're paying income taxes in whatever today's dollar is worth. If there's 5% annual inflation, and you invested $20 a year ago and today you sold your investment for $22, you've made $1 in whatever today's dollar is worth. But you're paying income taxes on $2.

2) Corporate income taxes decrease the amount of capital gains you have.

The problem with this way of thinking is that, this is not necessarily true: Regular ways of getting income also make you take part in the risk of whatever or whoever you get your income from, and as a result, more and more things that would be income get wrapped into capital gains.

The fair thing to do would be something where losing money (or unvoluntarily suffering relocation expenses or losses as a result of your source of income) gives you a tax credit, valid for the next 10 years.

I like wearing suits. I even like wearing ties.

I don't mean anything by it, I just like tailored stuff. It looks good! It's highly evolved to maximise what men have got. But: if I wore one to most of my meetings, or to work, people'd ask questions or make a bunch of unfounded assumptions, so I don't.

It's a myth that technical communities don't care about clothes. They do - it's just they send a very particular set of signals and, what's more, they're the signals common to countercultures. That's fine: it's just another code, no more or less than any other. It'd be discourteous to go against it. I'm still going to be thinking wistfully of the ties in my wardrobe, though!

Mobile data roaming prices in European Union - Killing smartphone usage
No. Happier people work smarter. ^_^

Already down voted by cool hackers, so perhaps I need to put some first-grader-level explanations. ^_^

The classical saying declares that 'the only hell on Earth is ignorance'. The description of stupidity is, in general,
'restricted, repetitive behavior'. Several studies says that what we call a luck is a matter of attention and awareness (Catch the moment! - you know). Stress reduces awareness, make people too narrow, too repetitive (defense mechanism). Now, try to recall an illustration from famous (among hackers) Alan Kay's lectures, where people digging for a treasure and they're doubling the effort instead of shifting to other place. And at last, but not least, especially related to silent down-voting - one can't see what one don't know - recognizing has this 're' in front of it. ^_^

So, happier people, which means less restricted, less repetitive, less self-limited, more open, more aware, more awake, with broader vision and greater attention, calmer and balanced yes, in consequence, work smarter rather than harder.

If the author is reading, I assume you tried the clojure.stacktrace module?

Error messages can definitely be tricky to figure out. A stacktrace, however, will often give enough information. Simply start looking down the stack for the first function that is part of your code base. The function may or may not have a line number. This depends on if you've loaded the source as a file, or sent an individual function to the repl on its own. In the latter case the line number information is simply not available to the language.

Using the stack traces solves 90% of issues I encounter. If I need line numbers, I restart the REPL and make sure that information is present. It's rare indeed that a stacktrace doesn't help at all, although it happens. I also use print debugging frequently. The REPL makes this technique a lot more reasonable than it is in say, C.

What would you suggest to improve the debugging/error situation?

--

If I had to choose a single biggest weakness for clojure adoption, I would say the lack of good documentation and also standardized process that is often so important when working in larger teams. The core documentation is good for experience developers, but lacks examples that many others find useful. The books clojure books are good, and clojuredocs.org is a great idea that has yet to get enough traction to become the standard go to place for documentation.

That said, it is still a young language and the community is working hard at addressing these issues.
(Regarding premium PCs):

Dell, with the purchase of Alienware and with its in-house XPS brand, and HP, which bought VoodooPC, have both tried to carve out premium niches. At one time or another, both of these bought-in brands were producing gaming-oriented hardware. Though this makes some sense—PC gamers tend to have relatively high hardware demands, and so aren't going to be satisfied by bargain basement prices—but it also leaves the products marginalized, with styling that's not exactly mainstream (especially in Dell's case) and website promotion that leaves them segregated.

This is so true. I want a good looking laptop that doesn't look like a Macbook. Gaming laptops are horrible, but I want the features.

HP has some reasonable looking laptops, and so does Samsung, but both fall into the "make a nice case then cover it with stickers" thing. I realize they get paid for it, but please! I'd pay $50 for no stickers...

Is this much different from what MIUI (Xiao Mi) did with their android ROM, they replaced a lot of the default android services as well? They're also releasing an android phone soon [1]

Any distrust of chinese technology aside, I'm actually really looking forward to what this OS will be like. imo MIUI is the most usable android ROM around, and it's much more stable than cyanogen. It proved to me that Chinese startups are capable of producing really awesome products.

iPhone currently has the biggest smart phone market share in China by far, this looks like the beginnings of Android taking over China like it did the rest of the english world.
So Apple should accommodate your special layout and your mouse nipple, and yet the PC manufacturers that do so should change and standardize their systems. I don't get it.
