It should work on android? Did you test that? If I visit the webpage there is nothing there except the message that this is a tech demo and that I should visit it on an iOS device. Pressing the Menu button doesn't reveal any kind of 'add to home' functionality. (I'm on Android 2.3.4)

The same counts for visiting the website with any other browser I have.

I can view a demo, and it looks like a nice app. But I hope you understand that 'apps' like this go against the entire idea that websites are available to anyone, on any device, which is the one thing that makes web-apps so awesome.

Wow. Do you find that many people keep listening to you after this or is this just a strategy to free your time of annoying "people"? The *nix community is generally quite friendly, but it doesn't grow faster because of statements like this. Sure, maybe it's a valid opinion but hell, at least explain why they should care!

How do you know who they're selling the premium product to ?

You need to be careful that you're not misunderstanding the situation, because if you go public and find out you're mistaken they could sue you out of existence for libel.

What you could do is present the data (say in the form of an industry analysis comparing the industry players) including case studies showing what their client are receiving and publish it.

You could then send it around to their clients (X is what you're receiving from Y, you could be receiving Z from us). And let the client make the deduction that they're being scammed and not getting what they paid for.
Okay. Which graphic card manufacturer would you recommend?

Which of your recommended solutions perform decent enough if you happen to want decent graphic performance as well. Think dual booting or using Wine to play even 1-2 year old games?

Was the previous release of Ubuntu working with the exact same hardware, but a new version pushed a free graphic driver that didn't work well enough? It seemed like that to me, so why are you blaming the hardware vendor _for this case_?

In an ideal world you'd be right. I support the ideology you're trying to spread. But it's totally impractical for a large number of people. Even if you don't care about gaming, chances are you got a PC off the shelf. With either a card from NVidia or AMD/ATI. Because you want to install Linux on a machine for your brother, mum, girlfriend - or that old box that is just available.

Given the huge flaws with the 'bad luck with your hardware' attitude you sound like the typical zealot. Don't do that.

I understand your sentiment (I'm not the one voting you down) and I hope you do understand where we are coming from. The whole idea of 'using HTML5 for an app' is based on the notion that 'that way all HTML5 supporting devices should be able to use it'. Which is the one thing you missed.

I think the idea of the app is awesome, and it's good that we can read the source. It's just a bummer that I can't use it in its current state.
What does AGW stand for - is it not the belief that no global warming is happening?

Anyway, this is all just guesswork (what scientists are doing, I mean). More interesting are your motivations for believing certain things. Maybe you need the self-image of being a skeptic?
Correct given the characteristics of the star and the planets distance from the sun we can deduce the amount of energy reaching the planet. Whether the planet like Earth, Mars or even the moon is however beyond current measurements.

How To Find Your Element
It's scary how much this describes me at the moment. I'm way overcommitted and yet unwilling to give up any one of the things I am working on. I have a project I've collaborated on for more than a year and it would be incredibly difficult to give up on it before it is in any kind of finished state. Meanwhile, other opportunities have come along that I couldn't pass up. I know that rationally the best thing to do is to prioritize and cut down my commitments, but I also want to see things through because I would like to see the project live and because I hate giving up. I am also irrationally averse to screwing over the other people involved. I know I can't possibly work this much effectively but part of me still refuses to admit it. I had plenty of time to test my limits in school and get myself into mental and emotional disasters because of that. I don't want it to happen again.
I think it's possible to work 60 hours per week productively. In order to do so, you need not only passion but a proper life setup. At least, it's important to have diversity not only in the work (more than one project) but in work environments. I would shrivel up and die if I had to spend 12 hours straight in an office building, especially in the winter when the days are short and 30-60 minutes/day of daylight outside time (yes, even when it's 25 F) is a mental-health necessity.

The issue with work hours is that most people work 55-60 hours per week including housework, commuting, in-office time, communication and lunches. That's a normal total (paid and unpaid) work week and it doesn't usually lead to burn out. (Yes, I count lunch as "work": there are usually social expectations that make it a lightweight form of networking.) The danger of pushing to 60 hours of "work time" is that the real work week becomes 75-85 hours, a level that's not sustainably productive for anyone. Personal errands go undone, housework falls behind, and these "time debts" pile up until they're unmanageable.

If you're going to work more than 40 hours per week, you have to outsource the housework. If you're doing your own cleaning and working six 10-hour days, you're destined for burnout. Car commutes, as well, are deadly. Sitting in traffic can incinerate 5-10 hours per week easily. The solution (if available) is either to get some of that work done on public transit, or replace the boring, stressful car commute with a bike commute, getting physical exercise on the way.

Also important is attention paid to the fact that burnout (and avoidance thereof) are not only functions of how much one works, but what one is doing outside of work. Physical exercise, keeping up friendships, leisure reading, travel, variety of cuisine, and some sort of spiritual focus (this needs not be tied to supernatural belief) are essential in order to keep perspective. Not doing these things, even at a 20-hour work week, is going to produce burnout over time.
On my Android phone I use that:

It let you disable all notifications, dim the screen and customize the alarm clock style.

You can also set a white list for incoming SMS and/or phone call.

It's a replacement for the "docking" application, so it is enabled as soon as I put it on the docking station next to my bed.
I like to think that previous instances were already tried unsuccessfully, and there was no hope of getting paid.

Otherwise, this would be very stupid.

Technically it should work on Android (I believe we were testing against v2.2). What version are you running?

I think the main blocker with opening it up for desktop is having to design a more appropriate layout. Not impossible, just time-consuming. And as Ben says, it is intended as a tech demo.
Sproutcore fails on another point though with making too much "improvements" on version 2.x. Why would anyone consider using sproutcore 1.x if it's already deprecated, and version 2.x is far from ready, as well as the docs. The sproutcore demos doesn't even work. You gotta have working demoes. There's no excuse for that - try getting your boss to accept a framework with no working demoes.

If you don't manage to get a home run with version 1.x just stick with it and fix the damn bugs, instead of doing the big rewrite, with the promise that it'll eventually work. It'll just work if you stick with it and fix the last 10%.

did you not read the part where they backdated the changes? So if you owe 5 cent in taxes and pay that and then a few years later the gov't says "we changed the code you owe us 50 cents and this retroactively applies to the last few years." You would be perfectly okay with that?
At the 'infinite' scale of storage that they're discussing, you should still see a savings. It's not going to be 30% or 80%, but it will be savings. De-duplication CAN still take place.
How many really effective hours do you have a day? for me if you can stay focused 4 to 5 hours per day it's already great, at least for developers. Rest of the time can be spent reading your emails, tech news, meetings etc .. Work can be a really subjective word too ..
it sounds like they could avoid user code accessing the room manager by wrapping it in an anonymous function, so their code wouldn't be accessible to other javascript.

Remember when every person and their peer believed that the earth was flat and it was the center of the universe?

This is simply not true. It was a popular position at one stage, but it wasn't "everyone thought it so".

Also, your scientific process does not allow for fields such as taxonomy or anatomy - you don't construct a hypothesis nor test it in fields like this.

Science is about rigorous observation. Peer-review provides a strong part of that rigor.
"And thus, the ability to understand pointers and recursion is directly correlated with the ability to be a great programmer."

Ice ages appear in cycles, that much is known. Sorry it was 25 years ago that I learned about it, so I forgot about the causes. However, the cycles are rather slow, so it seems possible that warming catches up with us faster than the next ice age. IANACS, though

Hey ben, nice demo, regardless of it working or not on other platforms.

I'd be interested in your feedback on why you used binary images and avoided jQuery. I know the code makes notes on these, but were you actually already experiencing loading issues without using those techniques?

In other words, was it to practice using the techniques or were you already hitting visible loading delays each time you started the app?

Also, you mention using ems for layout to handle resizing on the github info page, I've not heard of this technique, any chance you have a link explaining it?

"When someone tells me they have an Nvidia board and ask for help, my first advice is to buy a decent computer and stop supporting manufacturers that don't publish free drivers (or sufficient specs so that driver writers can do their work for them). I have no respect for manufacturers like them. Seriously, stop complaining and support manufacturers that care about open source."

Nvidia might not supply an open source driver - but they do supply a well functioning driver which is updated regularly. This is a god-send.

Last time I checked, ATI linux diver support was nowhere near as good.

Choosing to provide users with an inferior open-source driver, because principles dictate it's the 'only' choice, is short-sighted IMO.
Customer-focused vs product-focused product management, what's the difference?
If I asked you for $100 and your mother asked you for $100, you'd charge me more interest, because I'm [hopefully] a higher risk [from your point of view].

The interest paid on bonds is directly related to the risk of holding the bond (or, the perceived risk). A high interest rate (which the government pays) is the only way the government can get people to buy its bonds, because it's considered a high risk.

It pretty much means that, people aren't expecting Greece to be able to pay back its debt in 2 years. Which is really bad, normally, short term bonds have lower rates (because the risk is lower)...but now, even at 2-years, people see huge risk.

People want 75% interest on, what is essentially, a 2 year loan. Compare that to other parts of the world where you're taking 3% on 20 years....20 years is a long time, anything can happen, but even over such a huge difference in time scale, greece is a much, much, higher risk.

Their first example falls flat, since software (like iTunes) can search for music and also simply read the database of other systems. Getting others to do your work for you is unethical; either they do the work because that's actually a feature for the consumer or you're stealing from people. Anything else is customers doing their work for themselves and you acting smug.

> we should make people think driving is more dangerous than it really is

Which is precisely what is being researched and done in various areas, e.g by making the road appear narrower through various visual tricks.

And it works.

Until people learn. I don't mean by that that they necessarily know they're being tricked and consciously "undo" the trick, but they are then trained to handle a tougher constraint, and thus are able to routinely do something they could not before, out of pure training. The whole danger/constraint/learning system is actually very elastic. The net result is that not only they end up driving at the same speed as before in the modified area, they actually drive faster than before in the other non-modified areas.
it probably isn't a scalable solution but it seems at least in some cases it is the only solution, when e.g. the page does browser sniffing, or relies on behaviour that is different in other browsers but not necessarily _wrong_ in opera.
Yea, we were hitting visible load issues on both the images and jQuery. Because the goal was to build something that felt like an iOS app, the longer the load screen was up, the less it felt like a real app.

The em technique is discussed in some detail here: http://clagnut.com/blog/348/

In practice what it also allows us to do is to set a font-size of 150% on the body and everything scales up proportionately.

Opera uses browserjs as a measure of last resort. They use it only on very popular websites after everything else has failed. Opera needs to do this due to the large number of popular websites, which don't stick to the standards, or test their code properly across different browsers. Have a look at http://my.opera.com/hallvors/blog and you will realise how big a problem browser sniffing really is. Take a look at the websites that Opera fixes using sitepatches. They are websites like Facebook, CNN, and Amazon. If popular websites like these didn't work in Opera, users aren't going to sympathetise with Opera just because its not Opera's fault. They will simply switch to a different browser. Opera doesn't really have a choice.

This incident highlights an exceptional situation where the fault was Opera's. However, in most cases it is not so.

A picky point (I like a lot of what the author had to say) is:

The idea of a TV, as we understood it in the 70s - 90s, is kinda dead. Now, to say there is no TV in the house is the same as saying there is no internet (used only for entertainment) in the house.
The latest versions of Ubuntu are always meant to be beta-ish. You want the 10.04 LTS version if stability is key for you.
> The underlying bug is that if you through the DOM append a SCRIPT tag loading an external script, Opera's parser will pause until that script has loaded.

How is this a browser bug? I expect all script tags to execute when they are parsed, and make sure to trigger DOM-touching scripts only after the DOM reports being ready.
Yeah I understand your angle here… for us it was about building a comprehensive application, and given the time (and budget) of a real world project–we'd have made sure it was squeaky clean on Android too.
Apologies, I posted before drinking my coffee. You're absolutely right.

What I meant to comment on was the fact that the menu displays when you hover, and then you have to be extremely careful to move your mouse vertically first, lest you accidentally hover over another top-level menu.

It's a question of ease of content-browing v ease of navigability. Having to click on a top level menu item would make the former slower, but would speed up the latter, personally I find the hovver-bother quite annoying.
I don't think that means it falls flat. It was one of the key things that moved people across. I remember copying CDs into iTunes, downloading stuff from iTunes and putting all my music together. It was only when I got a non Apple MP3 player that I realised that all the Apple content wouldn't play on other systems.

A Chat with Eric Chahi on 'Another World' and iOS Gaming
If human history is any indicator, I think it would probably not go down well. I think most of the time newly found civilizations were being obliterated by their discoverers.
Although that is usually a side effect of speculation [1], it does not preclude speculation causing the occasional sudden price move.

For instance, if speculators believe there will be scarcity in 3 months (which starts gradually), the futures price will spike now. This will incentivize people to reduce consumption now, rather than when the scarcity actually manifests itself. Of course, reduced consumption now leads to greater availability later.

If we had no speculators, we'd continue overconsuming until it was too late, but there would be no sudden jump in prices.

[1] The best test case is onions vs other goods, since futures contracts for onions are illegal.

That's more or less my philosophy on pie charts. I find them helpful to use at the outset of a presentation to help provide some context for what's to follow (for example, the relative sales of Divisions A, B & C).

That said, I have no sympathy for anyone who uses side-by-side pie charts in order to make comparisons.
