BTW, I think people should set up their own trusted local cheeseshop and only install from there if security is a big issue for them. I heard Morgan Stanley is using a lot of Python now. I wonder how they deal with this. AFAIK there's not any decent alternative PyPI implementations out there. I'm using DjangoPyPI but man that is a POS.
Apple never attempted to trademark "app". They're trying to trademark "App Store", which is a completely different beast.
A List Of Things Paul Carr’s New Startup Isn’t
For people who don't know, this is basically a single-purpose entity for the purpose of owning certain types of firearms (usually National Firearms Act regulated items, e.g. machine guns or sound suppressors) in a way which is exempt from certain aspects of purchasing them outright (e.g. needing the approval of local law enforcement if you're a natural person making the purchase, but not a corporate entity). Trusts are also better for survivorship/transfer, and provide some limited liability or asset protection. Individual registered machine guns appreciated overnight in 1986 from $5 (a small piece of metal) to >$10k, due to regulations which forbid making new ones transferable for civilian ownership.

It's pretty similar to setting up a corporation to own/manage a single rental property, for instance to protect from liability if you own a parking lot and someone damages a car, or meth addicts burn down a condo building.
This is all anecdotal but:
Here in the US, I got a "PayPass" NFC debit card four years ago when I opened a bank account. Even though the terminals are deployed to almost every restaurant and grocery chain near me, I've never used it. I've always paid with cash, or swiped the card. If I think about it a bit more, I don't think many local businesses accept credit or debit cards period. That probably reinforces my habit of paying for trivial purchases with cash.

As long as the ones being subsidized don't create too much trouble (e.g. complain about inequality, demand too large a share, etc), why would the upper classes object?

Libertarian as I am, I wouldn't object to a welfare state which supports people at college student levels. It would be so cheap that I just wouldn't care.
Exactly. I've come realized that names just don't matter. We associate our feelings towards a product to the name. The name is simply an anchor to connect all our disparate experiences. The name Google would have seemed silly at first but now it commands respect around the world.

The only exception to this are names that carry a connotation to begin with. Positive connotations to whatever product you're hawking is a huge boon. Negative connotations can be a black cloud you may never get out from under. Tablet these days seem to be the latter. Amazon was right to ditch the straight-jacket and allow the device to define itself.

Protocols are "interfaces" (in the general sense of the word in programming). So they are useful when you want to write a delegate (or callbacks in the general sense of the word) class. Many classes have a delegate property that is of type id<SomeProtocol>. Equivalent to Java's interfaces, but Cocoa use protocols heavily for delegates only.

Categories are useful not for sharing code, but for expanding a class's functionality. This is especially useful when you write a class X that works with an existing class Y, but some of X's code should be an instance method of Y, or X introduces additional capability for Y to support X. UITableView adding functionality to NSIndexPath to support referencing table sections and rows is a good example. All those Java classes that add static methods to support existing Java classes, or if you used Smalltalk and added methods to existing classes, this is the equivalent.
I think people should not use awkward code in tutorials and then say it was for the sake of illustrating a point. Otherwise the readers can pick up bad idioms just as in a natural language. In this case I doubt the author wanted to showcase YES/NO. And if that really was the intention, you can easily add one sentence after the code example, explaining the potentially strange BOOL type and its values.
Close.

A protocol says that an object can (and in some (but not all) cases, is required to) implement a given list of methods, leaving the implementation/the "how" up to the programmer. Think of protocols as being similar to interfaces in Java.

OTOH, A category says "in addition to the existing methods, this class will also, for sure, implement these additional methods — and here's how."

As you need root access to be able to put network interfaces in promiscuous mode and capture raw packets, I think it gets all permissions that are possible. I'm not sure how Android shows this on install, though, whether it still shows all the specific privileges... if so, it would explain this weird privilege.

The code is very easy read. And, when you're getting started, being easy to read is very important. Besides, it is still semantically correct. (Also FWIW, I didn't find it very awkward, personally.)

I might even be convinced to go a step further and say that early on, it is far more important to actually get started and avoid hitting roadblocks, then it is to write nice and pretty code. You can figure that out later on, once you're comfortable with everything.

Jokes are just witty truths.

The startup scene is increasingly becoming a joke. I mean no disrespect to anyone who works in the scene - not to employees, not to founders, and not even to many investors. I used to be part of it myself. But what the hell is going on? People are trying to find out how many ways they can push around bits of information. They get an investment, iterate like crazy, and strive to get acquired, only to have their product completely destroyed by their new parent company.

Out of all the startups EVER created, I have only used a few products with more than passing interest: Facebook, Google, Youtube, Stack Overflow, and Yelp. And I consider myself to be pretty geeky. Having at least a crude understanding of economic concepts like supply and demand, the startup economy boggles my mind. How is it that so much money is getting circulated around hundreds of thousands of startups when only a handful of them survive for more than 3 years? (And yes, I often count acquisitions as "certain death.") Consumer goods have immediate and often necessary value. Houses last a long time, and carry obvious value. But tech companies can fizzle into nothingness in seconds. These days, value is measured in the size of your user base, which is kind of like monetizing a cat based on how many people pet it. Startups are getting so cheap to produce, I feel like we might as well be trading ideas.

All I can say is thank god for the sham. It is keeping me employed. :)

To be fair though, not doing something is a lot easier to implement than to add new functionality. As a minimal implementation they could err on the safe side and stop tracking everybody for a bit until they've corrected their error.

Kogan on how to get objective about your website
It would be good to be able to share stuff between social media and other internet services. It's just that it's me who wishes to decide myself what to share, not somebody else.

Conversely, it would be terrific if I could just use Google+, Diaspora, Facebook or any other network and be in touch with somebody who's not in Google+, Diaspora, Facebook or some other network, and share statuses from one network to other networks where I have friends.

But something like that goes so deeply against the fixation that these networks need to be rivals that it won't happen soon. Till then, it's quite sad. I have most people in Facebook but I only log on to Facebook on a need basis via incognito browser window. I would like to hang out on Google+ but roughly speaking only my nerd friends are there so this cuts my connections down to one subgroup. Diaspora would be nice now that their site seems to be more in working order but nobody I know is there.

Maybe it'll all converge back to irc+screen at some point, having come a full circle in 20 years or so.

It's important to keep in mind that the total amount of money going into early stage startups is still a rounding error on larger economic investment. Numbers that feel personally large, like "$40 million" are actually very small in economic terms.

Good point, and frequently overlooked. Higher-level languages are already increasing programming productivity. And this is only the beginning. Combined with automated testing/fuzzing and verification and code generation from high-level models, this could increase even more. No strong AI required.

It's just that so much programming work is required that we don't notice it in terms of less programming jobs. Of course, there's no saying what will happen in 25,50,100 years...
Yep that is true :) But even micro-economies should function (more or less) similarly to their macro counterparts.

I'm hoping they're not stupid enough to require existing subscribers to link their account with Facebook, but I'm not holding my breath, and I'll cancel the minute they try and force me to link with Facebook.

Unfortunately it seems that many companies have decided that "social" is the way to go, and those of us who don't want to share everything with everyone all the time get left out in the cold.

> This is a matter of self respect and good stewardship of the resources that we all need.

It's self-respect to blindly do what others tell you? Remember, if there's any potential reason you'd disobey a rule you aren't really a rule-follower, you're just as willing to be the final arbiter of right and wrong as an anarchist is.

Following rules is the easy answer for sure and I guess if you see yourself as someone willing to go with the flow you have an easier time.

> You can win plenty by playing by the rules.

Of course, that's what rules are about. Can't have a game without them.

But if "it" was the right thing to do, why does society have to reward you for doing it? It's likely you're being fed a line, and a bit of the profits, so you'll go along with whatever abuse was so egregious it had to be codified as a rule just to get people to accept it.

I've never read a bug-free piece of code over a hundred lines long and the law isn't as well written as most of the code I've seen. And even if correct as envisioned, the validity of rules in general relies on the failed assumption that we knew more in the past than we do now.

Codified rules, like "representative" democracy, are harmful to a free society.

Tonight Paul Graham got me more excited about doing a startup in NYC than I've been since the 90s. I don't expect NYC to be silicon valley, nor do I want it to be -- there's enough about this town that makes it special. I was also very encouraged by seeing locals who went through the Y Combinator program -- it was truly energizing. I frankly don't understand how a reporter for the Times can even ask the question...
When faced with sending email from my app, I chose to outsource everything, in order to not learn this stuff..

I set up an account at PostMark (postmarkapp.com), which made it very simple to start sending emails. I did have to change a few DNS settings, but they explained exactly how, and after that everything was a breeze.

I really recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to learn this stuff. It's pretty cheap too (I'm on the free tier so far, but it's a few bucks for a 1000 emails).
The cloud tipping point and business IT vendors
That you don't care highlights the difference between Silicon Valley and everywhere else. Here, even the so-called "hot" startups are no more than two or three hops away from the tech giants -- and that absolutely informs our collective thinking: we know how to build billion dollar tech companies because so many of us have worked for them.

Stooge sort:

stoogesort = (lo, hi) ->
if VA.lt(hi, lo)
VA.swap(lo, hi)
if hi - lo > 1
third = Math.floor((hi - lo + 1)/3)
stoogesort(lo, hi-third)
stoogesort(lo+third, hi)
stoogesort(lo, hi-third)

stoogesort(0, VA.length-1)

It's probably best to run this on an array that's smaller than 100 numbers...
Staring at screen looking at how bars shift and swap, I think merge sort is most elegant visually.

It's actually become quite rare for them to gate core objectives in this manner (I haven't seen it in a new game in at least a year, and I've spent a lot of time researching their games).

The general rule: if you have the patience to wait for your energy to recharge, you can play for free (and without neighbors) for quite a while (weeks or months). You might miss out on some fancy extras, but even still, it's not bad in terms of length and depth, when compared to the 'free trial' phase of so-called "hardcore" games.

Perhaps making older pages greyer? Wouldn't work with photos or videos though.

Perhaps making just the branding/navigation greyer? But as well as "old", grey also means "disabled".
It's easy to break the rules if you just see them as rules, like kids do: they interpret rules literally.

If, instead, you have learned to see some sort of an authority or greater justification issued behind the rules, rules become bearly impossible to bend because you'd be not only mucking with the rules but challenging something much greater.

For an example, if you bump into a locked door of an abandoned old house, most people shy away because they assume the whole premises are off limits. While that is a safe assumption, a hacker mind would just consider the locked door as one particular blocked entry to the house and hop in through the basement window that was left slightly open. It might not be too relevant for him whether the premises themselves are, or are not, off limits: the hacker mind would realize that him looking around the house doesn't cause any tangential damage to anything, but at least he would satisfy his endless curiosity about what's inside.

Similarly this shoe guy realized it does no harm to anyone and nobody would actually care if he posed as a film crew even if they weren't filming anything. Well, it seems nobody did care!
