The bottom line is, this change is mainly to save Apple the bandwidth and storage costs associated with iCloud backups. It's a straightforward solution to offer developers a programmatic way to opt-out. With maps or news readers, I might want to keep a local copy indefinitely on my iPhone but do I want these constantly backed up? No. I wouldn't mind re-downloading them when I upgrade my phone. But do I want them deleted arbitrarily when storage runs low? No because I have no control over it. Just imagine your browser cache being cleared by the OS at random moments when other applications trigger an arbitrary file limit and causing errors at random moments.

If Apple could offer a way for users to allocate a fixed amount of space for certain apps and opt out of syncing certain data per app, it wouldn't be a problem.

What's more this change suddenly happened. There was no bright red warning sign going into the release, these developers are finding out the hard way.

What a delightful story!

I feel bad for the commenters that feel they need to step on it, just because it's a bit heavy on the "noble savage" meme here and there.

A culture very different from ours is always like a mirror. And it's much more virtuous to describe the difference in terms of what is good, than how we are better. That doesn't mean you'd immediately want to switch places with them.

"If you like X so much, why don't you go live there?" is the reaction of a small-minded person that feels threatened just because something very different and alien to them is described as "also very beautiful".

I even see this reaction happening between two different Western cultures.

And yes, "we" also got quite a few really good things compared to them. More than just feathered arrows, even :-)
Man if we can now get Stanford to come here that would be a nice overdue payback for when the whole scene imploded after the combo of the dot.com crash and 9/11. The NYC I came to in my youth was as isolated place -- a shadow of what it was when it gave birth to every industry from the telegraph to television. If I can even see just some of that small glory return here I'll be a very happy camper...
> Compare this to Webkit - where there is no requirement to share code, but you have a number of companies that have setup very successful developer communities around the code base...

Huh? Webkit was based on an open source project (KHTML under the LGPL) and there is a requirement that the code be shared. Also Apple basically did the same thing as Amazon did here at first: they just dropped huge tarballs on the developers with no comments. In fact, attempting to merge Apple's changes in without comments was so divisive that the forks split, and only years later did Apple open up to an extent with WebKit that it became a proper collaborative effort.

As for whether or not it's useful in practice ... note that I am one of the authors of one of the things they released, and my first reaction was to run a diff against the original to see if they'd made any interesting changes (they haven't).

The author seems not to know that in C++ structs and classes are the same.
The only difference betweem them is that in classes the default acccess mode is private and for structs it's public.
To avoid the duplication, with risk of mismatch, and to make it one less thing for the reader to check, I have

#define NEW(a) ((a) = emalloc(sizeof(*(a))))
NEW(foo);

Similarly with NEW0() and ecalloc(). Yes, the macro uses the parameter more than once, and yes it's another macro for the reader to grasp, but it's a simple one and NEW() is used so widely it's soon learnt.
It's interesting that you mention a "C with classes" as the worst of both worlds. There's a large group of people that are perfectly happy with C, and there's a large group of people that like the OOP that C++ offers, but there's a lot of areas of C++ that many people actively avoid or dread, leading to the old joke that everyone programs in their own subset of C++.

It seems that with that in mind, coupled with the recent surge of people working on systems languages (Go, Rust, D) that people are looking for a something else. It'd be neat if we could resurrect Stroustrup's orginal prototype of C++ that was literally "C with classes". I wonder whatever happened to that...

But what Valve is doing is an improvement over the status quo, and social games are a regression from the status quo. TF2, by and large, didn't get worse by letting more people play it for less money - lots of value was created, and Valve is content to only capture a small* amount that came along for the ride.

*Many games that have gone F2P (in a generally benign way) report increasing revenues, e.g., Lord of the Rings Online, D&D Online, etc.

>We buy a MacBook Pro each year and an iPad or iPhone each year as needed

I don't understand this. You could be saving you self at least ~$1,300 a year, all for what? A slightly improved OS or hardware you don't really need. I'm earning ~$20,000 a year, saving ~$900 a month and I still consider those purchases excessive. I almost purchased an iPad last month but once I really though about it, I realise it would have just been an impulse buy (most of my higher earning colleagues own Macbooks and iPads). Plus, the Amazon Fire was announced around that time, so I will wait for that to be released in the UK before looking at tablets again.

I use approximations as I live in England.

Hmm, another Ruby web framework that goes the DSL route. Is there anything available that generally tries to be a bit more explicit? Strangely enough, camping seems to be the only somewhat well-known and maintained contender here, and that has those global object and twee details…
If you are interested in game design I highly recommend Warren Spector's master class on Video Games and Digital Media. In his first lecture he talks about how eg those point and click adventure games are no games to some extend. Highly interesting and thought provoking.

!!foo to map 0→0 and everything else to 1. Always interesting to see if the compiler produces the best machine code for it.

In the case of TF2, this has really hurt my ability to enjoy the game.

Since they made it free and added a thousand new items, there are vastly more new (less skilled) players, many games are spammed in both text and voice chat with offers to trade, and every game is a circus act of ridiculous hats.

With the exception of private clan servers, there's really no way to make sure you're joining a game with focused and skillful players.

Wow. Accepting an interview, then refusing to give said interview and just basically reading a press release instead... That's pretty weak. I'm not sure what they thought that would accomplish, but I'm pretty confident that it went the opposite direction.
Thanks for the thoughtful discussion.... Only one note: subprime loans were by definition those which did not quality for government guarantee. So Fannie/Freddie may be bad policy for other reasons, but they didn't cause the crisis -- they lost market share to private lenders throughout:

Fourth, Thiel already wrote an entire book (the Diversity Myth) about how one of the major barriers to progress in higher ed is the millions of dollars of often federal money siphoned off to promote "diversity" -- which actually end up in the hands of special interests groups inside of universities. This is a bit like the auto union problem. Ideally you would save the US auto manufacturers but you can't if the unions have no commitment to making a better product and too much power. The next best thing may be to go your own way.

That said, I'm not convinced that 20 under 20 is a very good model for the long run. Hopefully Thiel will iterate.

Well, yet another CS (under)graduated used to reason in term of optimisation in the code based on false misconceptions :
- a circle is drawed differently if you change the geometrical context (what if we asked to draw a circle on a sphere or any others non euclidian/cartesian geometry ?). Cartesian/euclidian definition of a problem can be the problem.
- a circle is a stupid singular case, it can be seen either as a peculiar case of rectangle with rounded corner, or an ellipse. Will he make distinct algorithm for rectangle, circle, rounded cornered rectangle, ellipse ?
- Its algorithm lacks the divide and conquer aspect : for instance, he could create the bondaries, and then fill in the form. Thus mutualizing much more code than what is shown, thus respecting the DRY imperative.
- his explications does not suits godel stick up your nose from a problem to solve it I was expecting a model oriented problem solving.
- I am astonished at the level of computer illeteracy : GGI, gimp, SDL and a lot of open source code have circle drawing algorithm implemented wich worth man * years of effort, I guess they already have smart algorithm. CS is about standing on the giant's shoulder, and learning to learn. He clearly fails on both this points which are important in our craft.

Well, I was clearly disappointed this lousy article got so much points.
What is important for me in CS is not the algorithm and the code, but how the code elegantly express the general understanding of a real problem into code. How one can fluently translate from a natural language problem into code, and swicth from reformulation of the problem to coding.

These kind of developpers should not be hired at any costs at my opinion.

Apple has never been against market research, its only done internally with internal employees as the volunteers under NDA so we never see those workings..
I agree your code should not depend on GCC, but stuff like __attribute__((nonnull(1), format(printf, 3, 4))) - "the first argument may not be NULL, the third argument is a printf()-style format string with arguments starting after the fourth element" - can produce some useful warnings and can be trivially disabled on non-GCC compilers. Some of the most useful extensions don't lock you into GCC.

(Now, if only Microsoft would get off their asses and make their compiler C99-compliant, we could all write much nicer code.)

Google is a "Habit" now!

Like Google, webmasters like us also try to improve quality of their web pages, but sometimes we fail to understand what actually "Quality" means to Google. May be the angle from your see, is not easy for us to catch. It would be better if Google can publish some Dos and Don't list for the Panda.

For a keyword like "dating", only top companies are being given space on the first page. Well, if you see dating.com, they have nothing like dating in their site and also the articles are nothing but crap, but they managed to be on top and survived in Panda, while small fish like us are no where. Having a far better site, useful contents, more than 200000 active users has no use.

You do not expect a "Dating" website to hire 10 content writers and keep posting fresh articles, because those are the "Contents" Google consider as content. All niche can not be put under one "Quality" guideline.

My apology if i said anything wrong.
You're not serious.

Grand Theft Auto 3? The grand-daddy of open-world gameplay? It even gave birth to an entire genre of clones.

World of Warcraft? Didn't invent a new style of play? They took Evercrack and distilled it into pure, fine weapons-grade MMORPGing!

Metal Gear Solid? Didn't have an incredibly unique (and much cloned, and much parodied) style of play? Whose story and art direction is so famous that today we have people running around conventions with big exclamation marks over their heads?

Ditto Mass Effect - whose conversational mechanics practically redefined how all games do it today?

Arkham Asylum? Whose unprecedented combination of unique art style, stealth mechanics, pitch-perfect voice acting, investigative gameplay, and open-world format was widely lauded by both players and critics?

Oh yeah, those games. I'm sure the stories were not at all core to the games' success. It's all the mechanics, I'm sure.
I can feel a flame war and potential crusade here. Being the imps that some of us are, how can we pass up this potential opportunity for enjoyment :

True, it was a first among new ones. I hate RED with a passion though. Cameras stall, long boot times, damn rendering of R3D files - in the end, whatever time you think you've saved with it, comes back in post. Not to mention picture quality issues with non MX sensor cameras. OTOH, with Alexa and ESPECIALLY Sony SRW9000 I really don't see a point in film anymore. It will survive, but not in mainstream anymore.
I suspect that was unlikely to have been a satellite shot - even the best resolutions I have seen claimed are still around 5cm to 10cm - which is nowhere near close enough to resolve the time on a wristwatch.

Samsung lawyer couldn't tell iPad and Galaxy Tab apart from 10 feet away
Actually, I've read somewhere (somewhere credible, maybe it was cinefex) that 35mm 2-perf has a maximum equivalent resolution of 8.5K, 4-perf is probably then a double or quadruple of that? 2K in output is more than enough today, but there are technical reasons on some cameras to shoot in 4K - for example on RED One. If you don't shoot in 4K, you're not using the whole area of sensor, which results in odd behavior of lenses you're using.
The article has a couple of typos & a few unusual choices, but overall it is a very nice overview of getting started in C++.

I would hope they continue & polish any rough edges in the material they've already got, however I agree that instead of nitpicking it to death we should be supportive of the author.

This is really nice work.

I think this can be broken down into two problems.

1. Preventing / curing all causes of pain.
2. Changing how the body responds to pain.

I think problem number 2 is easier to solve. The human body is a biological machine and I hink we will find better ways of handling pain than today. An example could be an implant in the brain that simply blocks the impulses.
