If only there was an article somewhere that described one reason why someone likes it. Oh wait, that's what this discussion thread is for...
Here in India, when I went to school 10 years back there was a subject called 'SUPW' - which expands to "Socially useful productive work'.

They generally teach kids how to make some thing very simple which can actually be sell-able or used to solve a problem.

I and my other friends like 5 other kids had made some 5-6 door mats from cigarette packs alone. And then we were taught how to go and sell them. I remember we had made some thing like 200 rupees back then(A pretty a big amount for kids). There were many such small projects, Many had woven designer baskets. Or some kind of a trivial sofa using cardboard.

Unfortunately I heard, these days that subject is no longer being taught for more fancier things like karate, or learning parts of a computer.

In short, in school they taught us how to hack. Generate wealth.

Excel Magnetics: Plate Magnets are designed for use in chutes and suspension over conveyed product. Installed on the bottom side of a chute, a Plate Magnet will provide maximum protection as product travels through the powerful magnetic circuit. The magnetic field projects from the face of the Plate Magnet reaching into the product stream and pulling the ferrous contaminants to the magnet face. The magnetic field on a Plate Magnet is strongest at the surface and gets weaker the further you move away. Plate Magnets can ideally be used to remove tramp iron from the moving material carried in chutes ducts, spouts or on conveyor belts, screens and feed trays. Whether the material is plastic or paper pulp, food or fertilizer, Oil seeds or gains the result is sure protection of processing machinery and iron free final products.

On iOS4, you need to trigger 3D acceleration to get acceptable redraw performance. You do this by using a 3D CSS transformation to move the object the user is dragging (translate3d with a z value of 0). The upcoming iOS5 is much better in this regard, and makes just setting .left and .top acceptable, so you could also just wait it out.

That is Section 2, which describes how to make observers more composable and thus simpler to use.

The problem solved in Section 3 is to use some cleverness in your compiler/runtime to make it so you can write a state machine as straight line code but have it wait for signals to arrive and run in parallel with other code without having to think about it.

The Reactor described on the second column of page 4 enables this. Notice the difference with the previous column, and even more so with the first example. You are no longer tracking any state (starting/disposing moveObserver or adding/removing moveObservers) but just writing the code as if you can wait forever for the signals and then respond to them.

This looks really nice, but depends on some compiler features that most languages do not have (continuations and/or tail call optimisation) so it is unlikely to make it into other languages soon.

Section 4 describes time-varying instead of discrete signals, so that Section 5 can then describe how to unify time-varying and event-based signals into a framework, which is (the already invented but not widely used) functional reactive programming. The types make it much more exciting than the Scheme implementation though. Section 6 shows how this is/could be actually implemented.
Now I'm curious about what case this person is talking about.

People fear things. One way of coping is to try to get everyone else to be scared of things, too. This article is a perfect place for that sort of thing: "Wow, you sure showed him, but I'm too scared to do anything bold in my life. So what you're doing is probably illegal, didn't you hear about that urban legend? So that's why I don't do anything bold, it's actually illegal and I'm a Good Person Who Would Never Do That."

I'm not saying that's the motivation behind this particular comment thread, but that's how I interpret it. If you can't have a parade, you may as well rain on someone else's.

Exactly. Though I think the ES version will probably always lag behind due to Smartphones/Tablets being by necessity less powerful than Desktops/Laptops -- I'm secretly hoping there will eventually be a WebGL that (1) like today guarantees the ES feature set but (2) lets you query and "switch on" full-fledged desktop OpenGL capabilities just like WebGL extensions -- so that we can utilize more/all of the GPU if the GPU happens to be not on a Smartphone/Tablet but on a high-end desktop/laptop. Right now I think this is against Khronos design philosophy behind WebGL -- but eventually one of the implementors (Mozilla or WebKit) may have a strong need for this and add it. Here's hoping.

> It uses strncpy_from_user to do this and uses PATH_MAX as the maximum length. So even the linux kernel does rely on the fact that there is a null terminator in the string.

The PATH_MAX guarantees that the string copy will terminate even if no null character is present.

Now if any routines that call strncpy_from_user assume that it leaves them with a null terminated string there is still a potential for trouble but that does not stem from the use of strncpy_from_user.

Check the implementation for do_getname:

I'm sorry, but why should people have an issue with how software is developed? What makes OSS that much better?
It is if you make a habit of leaving your laptop laying around unlocked and enjoy writing blog posts to that effect.

Oh, but for actually using the computer? Yeah, somewhat impractical.

(My worry is not the $1000 I sunk on an easily-replaceable chunk of plastic wrapped around my data. It's my data. So my laptop boots up to "type the encryption key", and if you don't know it, you have to erase the disk and install your own OS, keeping my data safe. I'd rather my private data stay private than to take a picture of someone stealing my laptop. Also, my laptop never gets stolen.)
You would've known I don't like this scripted thingy either if you had read my other comment.

But can I fork it?

Nope, because I do not have access to the latest code, therefore I do not consider it open or open source.
...yes you could - you can actually perform exactly those tasks using http://femtoo.com. Although IFTTT is great, Femtoo has the advantage that you can track changes and be notified, or fire events when content of ANY web page, not just those listed.

Femtoo also supports Notifo notifications (direct to your mobile) and optionally a URL callback, so you can even create your own event handlers.

For example, I have a Femtoo tracker that is monitoring the latest BBC news headline, whenever it changes, Femtoo calls the LiveDirectory.org API to update the BBC profile here: http://livedirectory.org/profile/bbc - as LiveDirectory.org is a pub/sub system, subscribers to the LiveDirectory BBC profile will recieve a webhook style callback.

Open-Source does mean that I (as an individual) have a lot of rights, including having the right to fork it in case I don't like the current stewardship.

Most of the Android eco-system is actually as
closed as with every other platform

That's bullshit.

The Android eco-system includes thousands of open-sourced Java libraries and cross-platform development tools that are also open-source. I can develop Android apps on Linux or Windows or OS X, depending on my mood. And I can modify those tools to make me more productive.

Yes, I don't have a direct influence on what Samsung might deploy on their phones, or on the code getting deployed in Android's master ; but then again, it's equally hard to have that effect on Linux, the kernel.

If you don't like it, fork it. That's what open source is about.

except the false advertising

An open-source license is a legally binding contract. That's not word of mouth or advertising.

Well, before google built it into the billing, nobody could really know how many 'instance-hours' they were using, and it turned out to be a lot more than expected.
We can argue about the whole thing being "open", as there is no exact definition of that, but we can't argue about the released source code being "open source". You can fork that at your will, just respect the Apache 2.0 license terms.

Every time I read about the X-th "clone with Dropbox's functionality" I wonder where it will store its files. How many of the potential users have access to online storage they really control themselves? Instead of having the files on Dropbox they end up on AWS or the like. Thats because they try to copy Dropbox down to the flaw, that it doesn't encrypt files on the serverside.

For me, any solution would have to include the capability to upload only encrypted files to the server. I know of the duplicity project, which does that for simple, manually triggered backups, but which once caused me headaches to get the data back from partially corrupted files.

It isn't bounded-precision per se that is the problem.
Bounded precision by default is.

Add absence of unbounded precision integers in a language and non-fixed sizes of existing integer types and now it is a proper problem.

The Post Motorola Dilemma
> saving under your pillow, especially if you had a non-inflating currency, isn't good for the economy.

It actually is. It you earn $100, by producing $100 worth of goods for the economy, and you don't spend it, you're producing more than you consume. This increases the supply of all goods on the market, decreasing the price, effectively making the entire world richer by that amount. Other people can use that extra money partly to increase their consumption and partly for investment purposes. When you take your $100 out of your pillow and spend it, you're then having the opposite effect. So in the end, you're allowing people to consume more at an earlier time (when you put the money in) and less at a later time (when you're taking it out). This is a very valuable service, as shown by the fact that people are willing to take out loans where they pay money (interest) for the ability to temporally distort their consumption patterns in this way. Some people can even use the temporary possession of additional goods as capital to generate permanent wealth.

A constant pattern of people saving under their pillow will simply reduce prices by a certain percentage and hold it there. If deflation is small, then this secondary price reduction will be lower than the primary reduction and the economy will remain stable. The problem only arises when deflation becomes too high - then, the secondary reduction becomes greater than the primary reduction, and causes a still greater tertiary reduction, leading to a deflationary spiral (ie. bubble), which screws up the economy until it inevitably pops, but if deflation is within reasonable margins it should not be an issue.

> Even if it should be encouraged, it doesn't matter the logic of it, people won't accept making less and less money over time.

How do we know this? One could imagine a deflationary society where people ask how people could possibly stand their money buying less and less over time.
Why can't you fork it without the very latest code? You have access to the code that ships, which is the requirement of viral open-source licenses.

You don't have access to the "very latest code" for the Linux kernel either, that resides (in many separate pieces) on various developer's workstations. By the time it actually gets committed, some other developer has made modifications to their working copy (arguably making it "the latest version") and not pushed that up yet.
Congrats, this is really impressive. Hopefully I'll have some free time in the next few months to try it out. Never used Forth before, so I might give it a bit of a go sometime soon. Any good further resources other than the wiki page?

No, we did the math. We were just wrong by a factor of 20 compared to the numbers that Google "only now" released.

Android 3.x still is proprietary software under a Google proprietary license and only available to select Google partners.

They claim that the code "is not ready yet for public use", whatever that means.

Either Gingerbread is the last public release, or Google switched to a model where only the second-latest version is publicly available.

Simple: The average Forth developer has absolutely zero interest in fancy user interfaces and design.
You are right that previous versions of Android meet the Open Source Definition [1], once they were actually released and the source made available. Honeycomb does not, but Google claim that was just an anomaly and won't be repeated; we will have to wait and see, but it seems unlikely that they won't fulfil that promise.

I don't think that Android follows the spirit of open source though:

Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in. [2]

There is no peer-review or transparency about the Android development process (unless you only define peers to be multi-billion dollar megacorps).

>The Android eco-system includes thousands of open-sourced Java libraries and cross-platform development tools that are also open-source.

Irrelevant; there are vast numbers of open source libraries for Windows or OS X, doesn't make them Open Source operating systems.

>If you don't like it, fork it

Except I can't fork any of the recent versions or development builds. How do I fork Honeycomb? How do I fork Ice Cream Sandwich? What good is the 'right' to fork something when the actual source isn't available unless you pay Google millions of dollars?

"...due to hoarding, it won't become a currency, and hence it's not a good investment..."

Not necessarily.

The prospect that it's not a currency is what makes it attractive to hoarders. Hoarders/investors don't want Bitcoin to be a viable currency; they want it to be an investment commodity. And that's the crucial problem with Bitcoin: its use as a currency, and its use as an investment, are fundamentally at odds with one another. At any given time, it makes sense to be either buying/selling (hoarding) or buying/spending (transacting); at no point in time does it make sense to be doing both.

Transactors essentially believe that the value of Bitcoins will converge around a stable mean, thereby facilitating the currency's use for transactions. Hoarders believe the opposite: that the value will either be totally volatile (with lots of peaks and valleys against which to speculate), or that it will steadily climb.

Finally, we should distinguish between "selling" and "spending." A hoarder who wants out of the market will not spend his hoard; he'll sell it. A transactor also buys and "sells" Bitcoins, but in his case, "selling" involves spending them on goods or services -- not converting them back to dollars. This is a subtle, but crucial distinction. Both users buy into the market, but they exit the market differently and with different outcomes. And both will only be able to exit the market if there's liquidity in the form of willing new buyers or willing acceptors of BTC in exchange for goods and services. Each of those two outlets has a different liquidity dynamic, too.

Because they spent more time on the code than they do on the wrappings. Forth is a really neat, minimalist language, that minimalism is probably a selection criterion for the way people would look at the websites hosting this stuff. Likely they see it as just another mass storage device.

Personally I think we could do with a bit more of this and less eye candy, I've seen tons of really nicely packaged blog posts announcing some project or other only to see it founder a couple of months, weeks or sometimes even days later.

I'd much prefer people first building something and announcing it on a 'crappy' web page like this.
