I looked at them myself recently but was disappointed with their pricing scheme (http://www.webmynd.com/pricing.php). They actually charge $100-$850 per month not for development time but for the time that you allow new people to download your extension. This might work if the extensions are being built for an enterprise, but seems impractical for creating free extensions.
Not necessarily. You can define functions in GHCi using let.

I understand that. I just wanted to point out that it isn't just Germany contributing, it is all Eurozone states.
Lots of things are problem for people. World of Warcraft also does a marvelous job of keeping people isolated and stuck in their lower self. That doesn't mean:

- the majority of its users can do use it responsibly without adverse effect on their lives and those around them

- it needs to be banned, or even subject to extensive regulation

- the act itself is the root cause of said destructive behavior. People who let WoW ruin their lives often had other severe issues to begin with.

Among other things that can be highly self-destructive (and destructive to those around them) in the wrong hands: sports cars, the gym, fast food (>25% of the USA is obese, after all), online gaming, poker, literature... I could go on.

Hell, ignoring the moral side of it for a moment, legislating morality just simply doesn't work. Disregarding the justifications of Prohibition, from a practical perspective it just made things worse: it created a major avenue of organized crime, and failed to stop the flow of alcohol anyways. If the people want to drink, or smoke pot, or play poker, or log onto WoW, or chow down on a burger, you can't stop it.
I'm in good company when I say that the pace of innovation has accelerated to ludicrous speed. Last week I read about scientists who knocked out a rat cerebellum and replaced it with an artificial one - and it worked. A few weeks ago I read about gamers, over the course of a few weeks with FoldIt, discovering how to fold a protein crucial to AIDS research that had eluded scientists for years.

Like William Gibson said, he now writes novels about the present because the present has caught up in many ways with science fiction. Not that we have flying cars or heroic robots, not that we have the future they predicted, but every week in the New Scientist you can read about stuff that would have been pure sci fi fifty years ago. We are inundated with magic.

I think the space program stood out more because it was channeled through the media that way. Everyone was watching the same thing and the same scientists. Today we have as much science to admire as we have viewing options on the internet.
It's a trade-off. An IDE will often provide more and better integration, but is usually focused on a small subset of programming languages and is less flexible.

Most editors less integration, but are far more flexible. Take Sublime or Vim, you can customize every bit of the experience with scripts without too much effort.

Also, I think some languages tend to need an IDE more than others. E.g. Java's relatively small feature set increases its verbosity. An IDE is almost required to avoid too much typing and memorizing. Haskell, on the other hand, is very expressive, making it less fit for smart autocompletion.

Open source is not used too much in Japan because there aren't too many people who can modify and maintain them.
The problem is that the will isn't there currently, I'm sure NASA could replicate the past moon landings at a vastly cheaper rate than the originals now. With the right level of funding how hard would it be to conduct a heap of controlled landings taking things similar to ISS modules to the moon, and then use similar tech to apollo to ferry astronauts to put together a base.

Given the budget is there really any tech that needs to be invented to do something like that? Astronauts could stay no longer than ISS stays so you wouldn't even need to push into new longevity of space travel.

Granted the a Mars mission would be a big step up, which makes incremental improvement that seems to work best in tech progression harder. Still I think it's mostly about the budget and the will of people to want to achieve this stuff.
I think part of it is that a lot of IDEs don't "feel" good. For example, Eclipse doesn't feel like a Mac app. Dragging tabs around works, but is ugly compared to Chrome or similar; the icons used are more utilitarian rather than something someone put thought and care into; often times the advantages it provides for the Java language just aren't as good with scripting languages (less mature support for Python and Ruby, less of a need for an IDE for those languages, and less ability to provide good features since they aren't statically typed).

Sometimes you want every feature. Other times, you want something that might have fewer features, but might feel better. When the iPhone came out, it didn't have a keyboard, it didn't have 3G, etc. Yet, it just felt better - the size, the icons, the way you interacted with it. I think that editors like Sublime Text and TextMate really go for that feel.

Users seem to see Sublime Text or TextMate as just missing a feature or two while looking at Eclipse and finding that it has the features, but lacks the basic joy of interaction. They also feel that it would be easier to extend something like Sublime Text than to fix the feel of Eclipse. Personally, I'm starting to warm to Eclipse as I use it and I appreciate the features it brings to the table, but I don't ever think I'll see Eclipse as "feeling good" in the way that TextMate feels right.
Unifying the Value Universe
IDEs are slow, and bloated to all hell.

I want an editor that is aware of the language I'm using, syntax highlighting, remote execution, etc. and any other piecemeal features I add.

But I want the editor to be simple. Hello Textmate.

#1 it linked to #2. The theory was that with Maastricht criteria no member state should have even come close to default. But this doesn't work if you aren't able to effectively control the application of those criteria.

By the way, I don't think that a fixed maximum deficit requirement, independent of the external conditions (eg the 2008 crisis...) is such a good idea. But at least during normal times it should have been applied.
I distinguish project-oriented IDEs such as Eclipse and IntelliJ from casual IDEs such as Sublime Text.

If I'm looking at something downloaded from GitHub, I use Sublime Text because the focus is on browsing the source quickly. I don't want to have to create or import a project.

Whereas, if I'm actually developing something, I'll use IntelliJ because then I need all the additional build tools.

I think it's a matter of using the right tool for the right job. Opening something in IntelliJ seems like a lot of effort because of the extra step of creating a project, and hence I choose the easier option: Sublime Text.

I have to say I feel like I'm an oddball here for happily using Eclipse. With an SSD, it's incredibly fast and features like its static analysis (code completion and error checking), debugger, and even 'open resource' improve productivity.

That said for quick scripts I'll just use something like kate or vi, but for a large project, the IDE greatly simplifies things.
Article was from 2008, Wired did a follow up story a year later...

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/10/impossible-drive-des...

----------------
Last year, professor Yang Juan of the College of Astronautics at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in Xi’an was happy to confirm that they were building an Emdrive which would be tested by the end of the year. But following the publication of this news in Danger Room, the situation changed. I was informed that the publicity was very unwelcome, especially any suggestion that there might be a military application. (Yang had previous published a study on the use of plasma as a weapon against low-orbiting satellites. [.pdf]) No further information has been forthcoming, and no Chinese papers have been published on the Emdrive, though Yang has recently published work on (unrelated) microwave plasma thrusters (.pdf).

The fuckery is in the details.

I, too, wonder why so much of technological progress seems to have stalled. In a single century we went from the mass production of the automobile all the way to space; from telegraph to television; from typewriters to microcomputers. What an amazing period of technological development! There had been nothing like it in our history. Like the perhaps somewhat apocryphal Renaissance, we may not even realize the significance of this age for a very long time.

So, what happened? Software has not, really, improved very much in many years. Our computers and phones and other devices have mated and borne tiny little offspring. But, these still feel like iterative changes on revolutionary designs.

And, of course, there is the faltering space program.

...Except, Armadillo Aerospace and SpaceX and others are right around the corner, I hope.

I think I've noticed a pretty ubiquitous pattern in certain kinds of projects: the sorts of projects that are huge in scope, with immediate deadlines, and a clear focus, and full of talented people whose responsibility it is to figure out how to reach the project goals as quickly as possible.

They grab every available technology, and they make amazing advancements in combining it and putting it together, and in the end, if they reach their goal, they end up with something that works, but is inelegant. They build an enormous, amazing, beautiful ... hack.

After that, if the progress is to continue, it's up to an entirely different kind of approach: the fucking about with the details.

It's not enough just to put a human and some supplies in space; now the goal is to do it sustainably. Now we have to build reusable ships and things capable of lifting tremendous payloads into orbit while sipping their energy through a tiny straw and not costing anybody very much.

And that's where the development is going right now. It requires tons and myriad tiny little developments in a huge array of sciences: in energy production and management, and in materials science especially. Like Intel, our space program has had its "tock"; now it's time for a "tick".

At least, I hope that's what's happening. I'd hate to live in a world in which humans had given up on exploring and pushing against their boundaries.

Static. On this site I host mostly huge-ass html files (about 1 MB per request) with apache 2 and mod_deflate :-)

There is also a wordpress site and another database-request-heavy site with 500 requests a day.

The problems I had was that the access.log and error.log quickly ate up the 5GB space of the micro instance :-) Causing mysql to stop operating and me to scratch my head for a few minutes.

Aids is about to be a minor infection.

We live in a world of science fiction, but we refuse to acknowledge it because we make the miraculous into something mundane. Mostly we use our world to get porn and read Twilight, but that doesn't mean we're not making huge changes to the world.
The same reason I don't use a Space Shuttle to travel to my granny that lives a 100km away.

I don't have to.

But it's got a lot to do with the fact that while IDE's are good for something like Java or C++ programming, they tend to become really crappy once you get into web development and have to regularly work with 5+ different languages at a time.

With most IDE's that would mean I'd have to have 5 of them open to work comfortably with every language.

Without rigorous original sourcing, I'd take that statistic with a large grain of salt. Would not be surprised to see it originate from the WCTU, which in other places claimed that alcohol could set fire to a man's body. The only really credible way to calculate that would be to backsolve the number of liters sold from alcohol company revenues at the time, and divide by population.

Does anyone here consider Emacs an IDE? Because that's my reason: I can give Emacs all the specific 'IDE features' (whatever those are... probably 'enterprisey' things) I want and it's still Emacs.
A Simple Carpal Tunnel Treatment You Can Try At Home
I agree with you mostly. Android is slooowly catching up in the looks department, but Apple is still way ahead. My first impression of Android was that they desperately copied Apple UI, but failed to make it as good either because of lack of skill, care or not wanting to look like an iPhone.

If you want examples of how well Android can look try the MIUI rom. These guys built mostly everything from scratch to create a pleasant, unified look (contacts, phone, messaging, browser, music player etc. and they all are best Android apps I've seen). Sadly, it does look much like what would Apple do.

Disclaimer: not a fanboy, I have both, iOS and Android powered devices and I actually develop on them both.

His "Galapagan isolation" / "large continent" hypothesis is interesting. I've noticed similar things.

Obviously, the continuous stream of data from the internet makes it harder to concentrate on one thing, I think we can all agree on that (which is why HN implements 'noprocast' and such)

But IMO something is also happening on a deeper level. The focus on 'social' these days also means being flooded with opinions by others (whether something is feasible or useful or not, for example) which might discourage you from continuing on big, bold projects.

Somehow one gets addicted to "validation" by others, which is easier to get if you keep close to the status quo. This is similar to what he describes with the shareholders of a public corporation. The immediate feedback cycle causes a lot of people to "judge" what you're doing and of course, there will always be some that don't believe in it (as there is no immediate payoff yet) and block it.

On the other hand, the internet is great because it allows communication and working together of people with similar mindsets, which otherwise would never have found each other. So it also might unite people to work on (open source etc) and/or finance (things like Kickstarter are a beginning...) big projects. A mixed blessing :)
Vendors like Samsung and HP also have much lower expectations of additional future purchases from them once a user buys the device.

If you buy an eBook reader you need to obtain a steady stream on content for it as long as you want to keep using it, while other retailers have a far higher chance of not getting that $10 back because they don't have a well establish content store like Amazon or iTunes.

Used to be a TextMate lover, bought the license at least 3 times. Then I met http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/ - never touched TextMate again, and don't ever plan to. Just thought I'd share for those who have not tried a JetBrains IDE before. No other IDE I've tried has lasted more than a week.
No, it's the higher prices, and the split of DVD and streaming that are causing customer exodus, which, in turn, causes the stock to go down.

Functionality vs appearance? I don't think it's fair to boil it down to such primitive comparisons, but in the end, I know which is more important to me on a day-to-day basis. (I say this as an extremely heavy user of both Eclipse (java, antlr, etc) and (G)Vim (python, scripts, go, etc). I can't believe this is a controversial or downvotable post, especially given the context of this article. The feel of tabs is relevant given the dozens of other niceties that Eclipse provides over TextMate? Really? Again, if you're seeking the features provided by an Eclipse/equivalent?
The fact we've heard nothing more in the years since is the typical confirmation of these sorts of stories.
"most browsers"?

Not really. Between Firefox and Chrome's market share, the "right way" is far more in line with WebSockets. Facebook doesn't use WebSockets. It's not even an issue of browser support but rather the lack of proper progressive enhancement on Facebook's part. Also, sorry, but I laugh at the notion that "long polling is easy to implement". Even if it is on some level, it doesn't make the right strategies any harder (nor does it excuse the flaws or performance issues of current long-polling techniques), nor does it excuse the lack of progressive enhancement.
I didn't read the whole article but all I saw was anecdotal evidence that there isn't as much innovation. Maybe it's hard to measure innovation, but at least try instead of saying "from my viewpoint as a 50 year old white man we aren't innovating." And then try to come up with theories why there isn't innovation when you haven't even come close to proving that there isn't.
