> He stood down from Apple less than 2 months ago, I wonder if he had any idea how close he was cutting it.

Of course he did. I think he held onto this thing until the very last second. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual resignation wasn't a long-ago prepared statement sitting in his lawyer's drawer for years. End-stage liver disease also means a rapid mental decline, so I'm assuming they triggered the resignation as soon as he was irreversibly incapacitated.

Death of Steve Jobs exploited by scammers
I just posted this on my blog, thought I'll share here -

The most important lesson from Steve Jobs

Don't be afraid to be wrong.

It is sad that the first time I write about Steve Jobs is when he's passed away.

I've never owned an Apple product. So, my love and respect for Steve is entirely based on the way he lived his life.

I've always believed that one must do exactly what one loves. Life's too short to waste doing other stuff. What for, anyway? Money? Power? They pale in comparison to the electric feeling of creating something new, something you dreamed up.

Let people tell you you're crazy. You will probably fail. That's ok.

Steve failed a lot. But, what kept him going?

He wasn't afraid to be wrong.

Don't be afraid to be wrong. Make that dent.

I've never really liked Steve Jobs and I see no reason to start now
I agree that this is suboptimal. But it's true that you need both business and technical skills to get something out the door competently. And for these engineers and workers, the feeling of fulfillment that they have working for Steve is real and satisfies what I believe to be an actual human need: to feel competent and useful.

I just wish there was some other way to go about things than for, basically, impressionable technical types to be manipulated into doing work for narcissists.

Maybe the problem is, again, education. School generally doesn't prepare you to be a good salesman, which is unfortunate because that's the only kind of skill you need to actually get ahead in the real world.

I also find his videos an inspiration - especially those from NeXT. Fortunately we'll have them for a lot longer than we've had Steve.

I know my contribution will just be a tiny digital drop in the tide of condolences that's coming in right now.

But R.I.P Steve Jobs. You'll be missed.

I think what might be more problematic is our systemic bias toward attributing the "credit" (monetary and social credit) to any significant work to one person. This just causes pretty much any collaborative work that is not between "pure" friends to devolve into resentment.

I think this has deep roots in American individualistic philosophy, and it's an example of how damaging it can be.
My Tribute To Steve Jobs
I can appreciate that "the masses" feel the need to mourn. I get that. What I don't get is the need to flood HN with stories.

The cynic in me says that people are saying ...

"OMG - look at the top story - someone got 2400 karma and it's still rising! I'd better jump on this bandwagon, let's find something, anything that mentions Steve Jobs and submit it - maybe I'll also get a shed-load of traffic!"

I'm pretty sure that most people aren't thinking that explicitly, but I'm also pretty sure that in some corner of some people's minds there's the thought that they too want to be seen as mourning Steve, and that they might get some traffic from it. Or at least some karma.

That saddens me.

I've lost four quite close friends and one colleague this year. They weren't world reknown like Jobs is/was, but they also touched lives. They also will be missed.

They also will be remembered, especially on days like this.

So take a moment not just to mourn Steve Jobs, but to remember others who affected your lives more intimately. Parents, grand-parents, teachers, friends. In some cases siblings. And children.

Most of you are under 30, but those of us who are 50 or more are starting to lose people we know quite well.

That really leaves a hole in your life.

That really hurts.
This seems more like a computer science question to me.

It can be thought of as a k-nearest-neighbour problem. The exact details of his problem could be expressed as a metric.

What he is asking for is naively trivial; compare the target to every object and see which ones are closest. If you want decent performance with large datasets, however, you would be better off using a more sophisticated approach. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-nearest_neighbor_algorithm for more details.

Do you ever release cached resources? Or does the process simply die with an out-of-memory error, only to be restarted with empty caches?

If the former, what is the cache invalidation strategy?

If the latter, how often does the process die? What are the implications on availability and performance, particularly surrounding process initialization and warming the caches.

The Gates anecdote is really neat (edited for brevity):

For our fifth D conference, both Steve and Bill Gates agreed to a joint appearance. But it almost got derailed.

Earlier in the day, before Gates arrived, I did a solo onstage interview with Jobs, and asked him what it was like to be a major Windows developer, since Apple’s iTunes program was by then installed on hundreds of millions of Windows PCs.

He quipped: “It’s like giving a glass of ice water to someone in Hell.” When Gates later arrived and heard about the comment, he was, naturally, enraged.

In a pre-interview meeting, Gates said to Jobs: “So I guess I’m the representative from Hell.” Jobs merely handed Gates a cold bottle of water he was carrying. The tension was broken, and the interview was a triumph.

I think we sometimes forget while we're bickering about this vs that how much mutual respect there is in the tech industry.

I strongly suspect that there are Android and iPhone fans who dislike each other massively more than those working at and running Google and Apple do. Reasonable people don't undertake these feats of engineering without admiring and respecting those who've been on similar journeys.

Lean Startups suck. Here are 10 reasons why…
I never met Steve. I even never got into Silicon Valley or US, Being a non American I could only touch and feel Steve by using his products.

It is easy to love role models but damn difficult to follow them, Today I promise myself that I'll try to follow lessons taught by Steve Jobs. Thank you Sir for giving human side to technology.
Mathematical reasoning? Sounds like one of those interview questions. How about ↑ == ++rep and ↓ == --rep ?
As morbid as this sounds, he probably died yesterday morning - the close timing to the iPhone event suggests they held off on announcing his death so as not to overshadow the product announcement.

I have seen a few patients with end-stage liver disease during their last days and I have to say they don't recognize their surroundings nor are they capable of reflecting on their own state. And this is a good thing probably. At times like these, it helps me to remember that lives are not defined by their endings, they are defined by how they have been lived.
It just prolongs the inevitable. If the average life expectancy is 70 years or 200, it still doesn't matter much in regards to things left undone; on your death bed, you'll still regret not loving your children more, not having the courage to ask her out, not traveling, not working on your ideas, etc... Consider that some opportunities only happen once, and then pfff, they are gone forever. Most of use are full of regrets until the end, and growing organs in labs is only a small comfort.

The other dream of course is for us to become immortal, but that's magnitudes harder than growing a liver in a laboratory, not to mention that even if possible it would open up a huge can of worms in society, problems that are even harder to overcome than technical issues.

Also, for all the advancements medicine appears to have, remember that we aren't even able to cure cancer and HIV, we aren't able to cure Alzheimer, we are only able to keep asthmatics under control and my child's doctors weren't even able to tell me the reason for why my child had the Lyell's syndrome a month ago (thankfully he's fine now, but it did freak us out).

We aren't even able to solve the problem of freaking bacteria becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics, and should I mention we aren't even able to find a cure for the flu or for common cold?

So don't kid yourself. You are going to die, you probably won't get past 90 years and your children, your grand-children and everybody you know will die too.

1. No mucking around in V8 internals.

2. Works on any JavaScript engine.

Then the only thing which can help you is BUSINESS CARD!! It leaves mark on minds of others after first meeting. Business cards are important for all professionals in any walk of life.

A business card on the other hand will get saved in desk and every time someone goes through his desk he will see that card.
A wonderful article, though I think what's often unsaid in regards to the occupation is their commonality; they all feel that their voices, despite what it is that they're calling out for individually, are being ignored, despite being larger in number.

I have donated to software projects before, but it's so annoying to keep track of it. I honestly couldn't tell you if I have donated to Adium, Colloquy, or both. I don't think donations can ever achieve the fairness and efficiency of buying songs.

To clarify on the fairness, buying software and music almost feels like a donation already. And I have been surrounded by anecdotal evidence in my youth who happily cracked "silly" casual shareware games, which just felt awkward to pay for, then played them for months. Yet when their favorite brand's AAA game was released, they bought it, played it for three days, then proudly put the box on top of their shelf and claimed that they do buy software -- but only when it's worth it. I can easily see the same thing happening for higher-profile vs lower-profile bands.
Has StackOverflow Posting Behavior Changed Over Time?
A trademark protects a mark that would cause confusion about the source of a product if it was used by another person/company. That is, it would protect any branding on the package, rather than the design of the package itself.

There is a certain degree of overlap with copyright, but: (1) for copyright to be infringed, the infringing item has to be a copy of the original; and (2) the subject of a design patent must have a certain degree of functionality and not be purely aesthetic (as copyright can be). A design patent can be infringed by a substantially similar design, rather than an exact copy.

Design patents are very different to utility patents. In the examples here, it's purely the ornamental design applied to packaging that's being protected, not the functional aspects of the packaging itself.
Eurgh. I can't even look at non Jobs related article comments without him being mentioned.
In the face of all that he has achieved in his short life, the thing that saddens me most is he won't get to see all the cool technologies and gizmos we'll have in the future. He laid the ground work for a large part of this future, it's so sad that he won't be there to witness (or shape) it.

26-year old iconoclast Steve Jobs' address to the Academy of Achievement in 1982
#steve #jobs steve-jobs #wisdom #advice #brilliant #innovative #audio #academy_of_achievement #26-year-old-steve-jobs #apple

http://soundcloud.com/ashish007/26-year-old-iconoclast-steve

Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford in 2005 is widely known, but this short 7 min audio of 26-year old Jobs, when he addressed the Academy of Achievement in 1982 is not that known, but full of his trademark brilliant insights, wisdom , humour, wit & even some self-deprecation.
It just blows my mind that even at 26, before having kids, he was so wise & almost sage like in his insights, but also was witty, funny & self-deprecating

At ~ 5:30, he comes across like a true humanist & world citizen, with concern not for a company, country, but for the entire world as a whole

A must listen... listening to his address is probably the best 7 minutes i have spent in my life :)

What does it mean to be intelligent & creative
1. Get different experiences & make new connections among those unique experiences
2. Ability to zoom out
3. Going to Paris & be a poet for a few years
4. Go to a 3rd world (developing) country & see (suffering) lepers
5. Fall in love with two people at once :)
6. Try LSD ? [a]
7. Sit down & talk with a Zen Buddhist
8. We "take" from a giant pool of things (food, clothes, language, math) ..
to be able to put something back in that pool is the most ecstatic feeling in the world
9. Being a guardian of (Mother) Earth for future generations

I am sad like everybody else, but i believe Jobs' spirit will continue to live on & inspire millions of people world over, for generations to come.

RIP Steve
My thoughts & prayers are with your family & loved ones.

Just saw another brilliant Jobs quote, circa 1991, via my svlug friend Rick Moen.

I think one of the things that really separate us from the higher primates is that we are tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometre,and humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list. It wasn't too proud of a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn't look so good -- but somebody at _Scientific American_ had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle, and a man on a bicycle -- a human on a bicycle -- blew the condor away,
completely off the top of the charts. And that's what a computer is to me. A computer is the most remarkable tool that we've ever come up with, and it's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.

I had never used capistrano before, and still managed to get it working for a node.js project, which also involved Mono, c#, several monit scripts, etc. My config file is pretty big, and the documentation wasn't awesome, but at least it's working.

It's not just what he's saying, it's obvious objective fact. A device that I can't play around with and run my code on without paying my dues is merely a toy.

Depends on the video, the CPU, the GPU, and how the video is displayed in Flash, but yes, it should work better, more often (though I'm not sure the 64-bitness is that relevant compared with the other stuff).
