Score one for this 2007 rant by Mark Pilgrim:

http://diveintomark.org/archives/2007/05/02/silly-season

Excerpt:

"I used to have the strength to argue against such foolishness. Nowadays I’m reduced to nothing more than Grey’s-Anatomy-esque catchphrases. Seriously? Seriously? Do I really have to explain why this is a bad idea? Again? To a bunch of technological virgins who haven’t been fucked yet?"
>Microsoft plans on offering one version of Windows 8 across all platforms. This is a wise decision since consumers will no longer have to decide what version (Home, Professional, Tablet) they will need for their needs.

That's wrong, the SKUs will be revealed closer to launch. What MS meant was that all the different form factors including ARM will run the full Windows OS.

There will still be Home/Professional etc. etc.
This argument thread is rapidly diverging from the original issue. You are now talking about product announcements, not releases. Windows 8 was 'released' today, not announced like the Courier was.

Your current argument now is about a different problem (one that Longhorn / Vista faced), which is about announcing features before they were actually implemented and ready for release.

I'm not going to continue this, I believe my point has been made.
There was a demo today at build where they took a Silverlight app, changed a few lines and now it was a "Windows 8 Metro" app. Then you take that app and run in on the phone? How can one say it's dead?!
> Leave some free disk space on your iPhone [...] 20-25% free should be plenty

This tip is a bit misleading. iPhone doesn't use swap space, so free space shouldn't really matter to performance at all. That said, I believe flash memory tends to have performance issues with writing if there's very little free space (please correct me if I'm wrong). However, 20-25% is way overkill.
Maybe, maybe not. But by starting out clearly infringing (abusing registered marks, etc.) the likelihood that anyone would do business with the dev is greatly reduced.

PS. You ad hominem charge that the CBC is technically challenged is worth reconsidering.
Um...they chose to go into China in the first place, and they didn't do it for charity work. A lot of people thought that was pretty evil.

In any case, the parent doesn't have to justify anything, because he's stating a relatively well-known argument: in the US, there's an obligation for corporate executives to maximize shareholder value. This point is debated (http://www.linkedin.com/answers/law-legal/corporate-law/corp...), but not to the extent that you're claiming.
Java has good unit testing frameworks. Try Obj-C/Cocoa.
You game the market by bluffing orders and trading faster than your customers.

Could you explain the mechanics of "bluffing orders"?

If by "bluffing", you mean "layering, that is illegal. Also, HFT's are usually the victim of layering, not the perpetrators.

OP's misunderstanding of prop trading vs funds aside, I still think it can be argued that "HFT in its worst form amounts to high speed computerized rumor mongering".

For instance, take a look at the Nanex article What is the Bid/Ask spread of this stock? [1]. Rumor mongering in this case being gaming the weakness of the NBBO.

On a side note, I highly recommend reading through Nanex's Strange Days research section if HFT related market anomalies interests you at all [2].

It's unlikely that the Delta fare from NYC to MSY and the American fare from MSY to LAX permit end-on-end combination with each other, so it would have to be issued as two separate tickets. What happens if your Delta flight to New Orleans is delayed and you miss your connecting flight to Los Angeles on American? Neither carrier is going to offer you any compensation, and your travel insurance probably has a clause which excludes misconnections caused by an airline's late arrival.

There are occasions when this strategy produces good results, however: last year I needed a last-minute one way flight from a small southeastern city (TYS / Knoxville) to San Francisco, and the fares were extremely high ($800+). But flights to Orlando were very cheap due to competition from low-cost leisure carriers, and the last-minute fares from Orlando (MCO) to San Francisco were quite reasonable. I booked, on a single ticket and flying on a single airline the entire way, TYS-IAD-MCO-IAD-DEN-SFO. This gave me a TYS-MCO fare plus an MCO-SFO fare, which was hundreds of dollars cheaper than the more direct TYS-DEN-SFO. At the time, saving money was a lot more important than getting to San Francisco a couple of hours earlier. A cunning plan that cannot fail!

Except that I missed my first flight of the morning due to an overnight road closure that blocked my only way of leaving the house. By the time that I got to the airport, my originally booked flight had already left and I was faced with a very long wait for the next flight to IAD, which virtually guaranteed I wouldn't even make it to San Francisco that day. It was only through a combination of charisma and blind luck that I managed to convince the airline to reroute me direct through Denver, which is completely against company policy. They only charged me the $50 same-day standby fee.

Needless to say, I would never sell that sort of a ticket to the general public. Far too many different ways in which things could go horribly wrong. It's also likely that the airlines would promptly revoke your ticketing privileges with them were they to discover you were routinely issuing these sorts of tickets.
Great, so they fix the taskbar and break the thing that matters most :(
It is so nice to see someone using technology to create something genuinely productive. You have a somewhat small target audience, but they have (as you rightly point out) very few alternatives when it comes to finding information about the disease and options for trying to aid in controlling it.

View back of a card in the first list. Choose Move.... Try to move it to a specific position (2nd, for example) on another list (in my case, the third/final list). For me, it just goes to the top of the list.

Edit: Tried to use this move method (rather than dragging) to shift something from List 3 to Position 3 on List 1. It shifted to Position 2 instead.
Also the Skydrive integration. It's like moving the registry to the cloud. Of course it'll take a while before apps would use that feature, but imagine not having to worry about backing up settings or moving from one machine to another.

I'm usually frustrated with their decisions, but after seeing the keynote, for the first time in a while I got the hint that maybe, just maybe, they woke up -- or rather forced to. The amount of changes they made, at least from this side, looks impressive.

Silverlight is dead!

Thank you for building this.
I think this is a great idea, although I don't know if I'm a good candidate for it, since I never officially got past a Pre-Calculus level.

I recently decided in the past couple weeks to go through Khan Academy from the very beginning (simple arithmetic! :), and run through every one of their exercises. I'm moving pretty fast through all the refresher courses, and I'm amazed at what I've retained (and disappointed at what I've lost).

I've completed 113 out of 171 exercises in my off hours in the past couple weeks, and once I've gotten through them all, I'm going to run through MIT 18.01 Single Variable Calculus, 18.02 Multi-Variable Calculus, and 18.03 Differential Equations.

From there, I was planning on doing MIT 18.06 Linear Algebra, so even though I don't think it would work out for me to jump in to a group like this without the proper background, I'll be following the progress of things closely.

In fact, the idea of HN being a platform for self-directed group education is a brilliant one. While there are already websites focused on that, I know we're all impressed enough by the HN readership that there is an obvious advantage of organizing it here. Hopefully this experiment can work for other areas of study as well.
To me the real value in that post is this paragraph...

Reactions? “The web just got richer.” Well, somebody’s getting richer, but I doubt it’s gonna be the web. And did you hear the news? You’ll write it one time, and test it one time (for real this time, we promise). And Microsoft “rebooted the web.” I guess that’s all you can do after freezing up for five years. Hey, look over there, shiny objects! That poster may as well be titled “Fucked 6 Ways From Sunday,” because that’s what you’ll be if you buy into any of this.

Google is not law enforcement and thank god for that. Unlike apple which strives to be the moral leader of the world that nobody needs.

What google did here was illegal and it paid the price for it, but I don't see anybody getting directly harmed by google's decision, it was not google selling the drugs themselves or that the drugs were not upto the standards.

Besides by the same reasoning google should block all the illegal torrent sites, or wikileaks for that matter. Always remember your truth is not everybody else's truth, and it is better that the world's leading search engine does not take sides for you.
I understand the industry quite well and from experience. BTW My only daggers were aimed at HFT.

Let me be clear. Anybody that puts an order in not expecting to get executed but to create favorable conditions for their next order is engaging in what I call "high speed rumor mongering". There are lots of variations of this game. Never happens? Always happens? You tell me.

But markets aren't chess. "Rumor-mongering" is a legal term I chose on purpose. It is generally prohibited because it destroys liquidity in markets, which hurts investors and issuers. The term is intentionally objectionable, but not inaccurate. Just don't trouble the regulators to figure it out.

Good article, but I like the original article's title better than "I didn't even know how to submit to HN! That's how n00b I was."
What you say is true, but it's important to realize that the nature of the risk is disproportionate. The programmer quitting his job has a lot more at stake than the company firing the programmer. For the programmer, it means a stressful job search, likely financial stress (even if s/he saved up a lot of money, it's not fun to be living on a finite supply), and all the feelings that go along with losing a job (wounded pride, fear of judgement from others, etc.)

For the employer, it means what? They now have payroll that's significantly lighter, and true, they're down a person, but realistically that just means they have to pressure their other employees to pick up the slack while they find someone new, and those programmers, not wanting to lose their jobs, probably do it.

Now, of course the important thing as a programmer is to have an attitude like yours, which mitigates the downsides of leaving a job. But not everyone has that attitude.
What kind of offline support do you foresee? I haven't tried using the iOS app yet...but I'm thinking of the use case where I've cached the current state of the board and want to check off/add things to the board while I'm on the subway, and have it sync automatically when I get back on. Possible, or are there too many moving parts for that to be implemented easily?

I don't like this, it's telling me to go upgrade my browser as punishment for having the wrong user agent. When I'm trying to have privacy.

My agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7

I'm using 6.0.2 browser, however.

It's a pretty common user agent: https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php Eff does not provide the most common user agents list so I have no idea what's latest user agent to use. Many web statistic collectors also don't mention user agents.
This sounds like an amazing project. My grandfather had Crohn's. I wish he was still alive today to see this.

Because Flash is not good enough. Flash video playback has an incredibly poor performance, especially with h264 or HD videos, even on average machines or Macs. Silverlight video playback is simply a lot smoother. I'm not sure if it's their codecs or somewhere else in their rendering pipeline, but ultimately it doesn't really matter. What matters is that my users can play back the videos on my site smoothly even on their shitty commodity Dell boxes.

That being said, I'd love to switch to HTML5. If only all the browsers settled on the same codec.

In general, I think more work is needed if the numbers of everything (members, cards, etc) all scale to large numbers. I love the interface and would actually like to have this internally, but I worry that things would get out of hand quickly. I think board hierarchy (nest boards within boards) could go a ways towards making it better, but I'd have to play with it. They should try scaling up to large numbers of boards/cards (1000?) to which you are a participant and see if any of the concepts need tweaking.

Is that why many of Gruber's posts are consistently upvoted on HN?

Out of all that was displayed during the keynote, he got only one thing to dwell on.

The demo tablet given out has a fan and gets hot? That is like criticizing Windows because Dell makes a pink laptop. There's going to be immense choice.

And this going to put pressure on Intel and other OEMs to reduce heat and power consumption to get closer to ARM.

In reality, the gap between Arm and x86 isn't all that big.

You are used to seeing Arm in phones, designed for power efficiency and slim profile. There are also tablets, which have more powerful Arm systems. However, batteries make up the bulk of these devices. They trick you in this respect. You are used to Arm being 'lite' and 'low profile'.

Then we have x86 systems. You are used to seeing these in desktops, that use hundreds of watts. In laptops, these can get much better efficiency. The problem is most laptops only have small batteries. x86 compilers have also evolved over a much longer time, so they are more efficient in their job. So you are used to x86 being 'bulky' and 'powerful'.
I think Microsoft does not have secrecy because they have lots of OEM partners who want to develop for the platform before its released.
they're both smug - what's confusing to me is why anyone who is not a major shareholder of these enormous corporations has feelings about these relatively boring narratives.

The difference is that only Gruber's posts get highly upvoted on HN. Thurrott? No one cares.
I think you're taking the "evil" part a little to seriously. Is Microsoft really "evil" by pressuring you into a tie-in to their products? They're not killing anybody. They're not defrauding anybody. They're creating an annoyance for their customers. That's a far cry from evil, but in half-serious Internet jargon it's "evil".

Privacy implications aside, this is actually a pretty cool concept for an iPhone app.
This product was designed to do a really good job helping people that have to get things done. Like any other software project, they must have had thousands of issues and limited resources to fix them, so they had to triage. With all due respect, the kinds of users that spoof their user agent to protect their privacy is probably fairly low on their priority list.
the dev tools seem to be available for x64 only, and I'm pretty sure Virtual PC will only host a 32bit o/s?

As a Windows/.Net developer by day and OSX/open-source geek on my own time, I gotta say (somewhat reluctantly) that I'm actually pretty psyched about trying Windows 8/WinRT out. Even though I'm very comfortable in Win32 and WinForms, it really is starting to feel pretty damn ancient.
So I was working on developing a multicast serial driver. Since I was developing the serial driver, I had to take... over... communication... from the copied-from-ROM driver.

And since there was only 1 working communication port, how did I debug? How did I even run a test?

The board I was developing on was amazing. It had 1 (one) LED.
