The terminal icon behaviour is actually one of the things I really like about Unity.

If you've got a dock, it's difficult to manage several windows of the same application: either each gets its own icon, but then you've got two identical icons in there with no way to see which is which; or you subsume them under one icon, but then what happens when you click it? You can open a sub-menu to access the various instances, you could open the most recently used one, or you could bring all of them to the front.

Unity basically does the latter. I like docks, but I don't like having to click twice to access an application, so it works well for me.
I think it worth pointing out that Siri's achievements beyond google should be credited to the startup that created it. It's popular and fun to give Apple all the credit, and they made a great purchase.

But this is not a story about Apple the innovator. This is a story about a startup that won big. That they were bought by Apple and integrated instead of remaining a strong new company is more a reflection on the current state of the software business than anything else.

All credit to the Siri team and the projects that it is derived from. The funding for this includes government (DARPA) as well as several academic institutes:

"Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Massachusetts, the University of Rochester, the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Oregon State University, the University of Southern California, and Stanford University, as well as from SRI."

Earnings received by a partner and shared expenses makes a dramatic difference to wealth accumulation. Where I live, if I earn double what two people in a relationship each individually earn, the couple make an extra 12% after-tax vs. what I do because they are taxed at a lower rate on their lower individual incomes. Furthermore, while two people eat and poop twice as much as one person, the greatest expenses (living) can often be shared.

Ask HN: Should I consider what technology a startup is using when joining them?
Hi guys, I’m going to be a fresh grad next year and looking for a job. I’ve already decided to join a startup and looking opportunities. A Java-based startup is offering me a position and they are exploring the use of Python in their work. I LOVE Python for its elegance, gracefulness and efficiency, I eat-practice-work with Python for quite some time and I think I'm pretty good at it. Sure enough, I want to become a Python expert in the future.

As everybody might agree with me, job demand for Python is not as great as for Java (at the moment) so frankly, this offering could be quite rare. Java is fine with me as it is used in my university but since this is about work, I really want to do what I love every day. At the same time by joining a startup, I hope to improve my technical & business capability to prepare myself for future ventures. There are several things I wish to learn such as real world app deployment, scalability, cloud computing and stuffs about running a startup.

Should I accept this job offer, given my preference about Python/Java?
I agree that the movement lacks a coherent message.

That being said, one of the large issues in play is that people feel slighted by rising income inequality, which they perceive to have arisen out of a sort of government-industry feedback loop. Certainly this is what the printed dollar bills seem to be about.

With regard to your comments about the utility of the protest: I don't think it's a waste in any regard. If you feel something about government (in this country), you have several options: wait for an election and vote, write to your congresspeople, protest, etc. I agree that it's frustratingly difficult to figure out what the movement wants, but (even unaligned) protest is a perfectly legitimate way to express (even general) displeasure with your (perhaps even falsely perceived) current government.

He may have some points, but none of them are relevant for me, personally. I don't use the dock (IMHO it's a monstrosity even in OSX), I don't care about desktop wallpapers and I also don't belong in the camp of users that think focus follows mouse is a good idea.

I also doubt that any of his concerns are relevant to non-power users, who seem to be the demographic that Ubuntu tries to target.
Shouldn't you have a viable alternative solution in mind, when you express displeasure? I can understand that they're angry - I just can't understand how they want the government to fix it.
OWS appears to be a concentration of several basic grievances held against the financial industry's control of the government. It attempts to raise awareness to the fact that income inequality is increasing, and that the accumulation of capital does not seem to be benefiting the large majority of society.

It complains about the fact that the mistakes of the financial industry are being paid by the whole of society.

It raises more questions than it attempts to solve, but has some basic tenets in favor of restoring the regulations of financial markets that have been lost in the last 20 years.

Here's a random link I pulled that attempts to explain some issues: http://blog.pfaw.org/content/the-media-way-occupy-wall-stree...

It seems interesting to note that, from what I've heard from people working in the media industry, there's a directive to paint the OWS as having no purpose, however many of the critiques that are being leveled towards it are just as valid, if not more, again the Tea Party movement, yet such comments were never made in mainstream media. It's also worth noting that there were some very powerful interests funding the Tea Party. Finally, many people within OWS have concrete propostitions, such as restoring the Glass-Steagall Act, changing the capital gains tax, introducing the Tobin Tax, etc. Of course, that would actually imply knowing a thing or two about political science, so most people can't be bothered to research that.
I'm guessing that if it turns out that most people really don't like it, as opposed to merely most of the people that complain about it on the internet, it will in fact matter.

There is only X amount of time and Y amount of energy you can use to 'maximize your income'.

Now come to think of this. If you choose to go this way More expense imply more work. How long can you can you continue doing this. Unless you have a business which you can milk like a cash cow, a salaried employee can only go so far with 'Work more earn more' attitude to match his increasing expenses.

The only approach is to know to how to save and invest appropriately.

I've been a front-end developer for many years now and lately I've been considering learning a programming language. I learned html/css first and focused more on learning design softwares to improve my designs.

But the problem now is when I have an idea for an app, I can't develop it since I don't know any back-end language. I have developers I work with but they don't have the time to develop my little ideas. My JS is also weak. I'm 23, I don't think I'm too old to learn but it would have been easier a few years ago.

I think the problem for most people (including me) is constantly thinking of how long it would take to reach mastery.
It would definitely be a lot easier (and seemingly, effective) if they all just said we want X, where X is some not necessarily even specific reform.

But maybe they just want to say 'we're angry about this rising income inequality and we want someone to do something about it.' I think that's a valid stance to have, and opinion to express. It then falls on the government to either:

1. Do something about income inequality.
2. Explain why they can't or shouldn't or won't.

Failing that either of these things occur, it may inspire someone to run for office with the platform of performing (1) or (2) above. Any of these outcomes seem like a 'successful' outcome of the protest.
That's exactly what I was doing. It was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek response while making the point that one could do exactly what jrockway was using as an extreme example, if one was misguided enough.
Amazon is an old-fashioned monopolist. When dealing with these beasts they are your friend until it is more profitable for them not to be.

JK Rowling does not require Amazon but Amazon will never produce another JK Rowling because they will not do the marketing and groundwork necessary.

Authors are investing in their future when choosing commercial partners. By partnering with Amazon they could be putting all their eggs in one basket, this is not necessarily a bad thing to do but it does require that you watch that basket very carefully.
i think the majority of people protesting see many interconnected problems that they know deep down there's no silver bullet for. they're not knowledgeable enough to know all the ins and outs of how they're being fucked, but they know what it feels like, and they know they don't like it. that's my take on it.

i think it's important to respect the passion of this movement, whether you agree with it or not, because it's real, because it comes from real causes, and because it won't go away until it's addressed
The OWS movement is certainly pretty confused and vague when it comes to demands.

It would be a mistake, IMO, to use this to dismiss the reasons why people have chosen this time to protest.

If you look at the people and signs at a #Occupy protest, you will find a familiar theme: income disparity and unemployment. People are running scared in an economy where social mobility has been utterly destroyed, unemployment runs at an all-time high, and the gap between rich and poor continues to widen unabated.

Some people have chosen to blame corporations, some people pin it on banks, some are angry at the government. In the end though, the theme is the same. OWS protesters clearly have no clue how to fix it, but they are correct that something is fundamentally broken, and it would be a mistake to sweep this all away because the protesters can't put together a solid fix.

There are, of course, also the piggy-back causes. Environmentalists, educational reformers, health care reformers, and all manners of all side-issue protesters are out in force at the #occupy protests, and that really does hurt the main message.

It does not directly compete with puppet/chef for enforcing a server configuration however.

If numpy-c were to be called over ctypes, it'd be slow.The reason PyPy's numpy reimplementation is so insanely fast is the integration with the JIT.

A more plausible scenario would be both CPython and PyPy using numpy-py to call into numpy-c and numpy-pypy respectively.
It takes some toggling to get it working just right (change the color theme and get syntax highlighting to work) but after that... it's actually a really useful tool. Doing some collab work helping a friend right meow.
Shouldn't you have a viable alternative solution in mind, when you express displeasure?

Not necessarily; there are times when it's more fit to just walk out into the street, meet others who are as displeased as you are, and try to figure out what to do about it on the spot.
Yup, that's pretty much what i meant, plus a bit of what veyron meant when he was talking about obsession with the GoF.

The bill will not be accepted by anyone, so the only one who will see it is the person who printed it.

They could deposit it in a bank, but the bank will just send it to the Fed to be destroyed and replaced. (They have automated scanners that look for dirty, worn out, or defaced bills.)

So this is pointless if they want these notes to actually circulate - all they are doing is wasting money used to reprint the notes.

One of the common outcomes I've heard called for is a "separation of corporation and state," in response to what people feel is an outsized voice in the democratic process for corporations at the expense of individual citizens. The backlash against TARP is a good example of fairly broad sentiment that federal policy favors financial institutions and high-value investors over "Main Street."

Lawrence Lessig has spoken rather extensively about campaign finance reform in this vein. His latest campaign is for the Fair Elections Now Act, which would encourage small donation-powered campaigns. He's also often argued for a constitutional convention that would address these concerns without needing to stay within the current legal boundaries...that seems to have fizzled a bit, though, I assume because it's so hard to pull off.

That was done as a reaction to Oracle, if OpenOffice becomes viable again and gains traction it can change back.

LibreOffice's staying power depends on how much of their effort was simply "sticking it to Oracle", if they get bored and fade away then so will LibreOffice.

Apart from nerds there is no loyalty to the product just to getting the job done, if the word processor opens their documents then users simply don't care. Similarly most users don't use Office because it is Office, they use it because it is there.

401k is ok even if tax rates go UP, due to compounding gains.

However, IMO, it makes sense to Roth as much as you can. Especially if your're a startup founder in early stages, making <$200k/yr, it probably makes sense to do Roth IRA (up to 105k), Roth 401k, or Roth IRA backdoor contributions (via 401k to Rollover IRA to Roth IRA, or SEP IRA to Roth IRA). Pay the taxes now, be able to compound tax free, and distribute tax free.

I'm suspicious of the public markets in general, due to the baby boomers retiring, the sense that a lot of it is fraudulent, and the rigged nature of the markets, but it's probably the only way to do passive investing.
FWIW I agree with you. I think your point is similar to the old library vs framework debate (http://ifacethoughts.net/2007/06/04/difference-between-a-lib...)

Library/Toolkit = Platform = Amazon's usual play. They give people the tools needed to succeed at something.

Framework = Middle-man = Publishers. They take a well defined contribution from an author and try to succeed on behalf of the author.

Seems correct to me.

This is alarming to me, because this particular act is appears to be pure sensationalism to me. It also takes the numbers grossly out of context.

When I saw the "Richest 400 vs Bottom 150,000,000" 50/50 split on one of the bills, my immediate thought was the following:

__Do these people consider how many jobs these top 400 people created over the last decades, and how much better off the world is because they existed?__

Yes, the US tax structure is flawed. Yes, there are some truly corrupt things going on. But depicting the situation as a "me vs you" situation rather than presenting the situation as a structural issue seems very alarming to me. I know I'm sounding like a lot of random Republican talking heads when criticizing the "class divide" issue of this movement, but why on earth would you classify a man like Bill Gates, who created tens of thousands of jobs for this economy and continues to do great deeds for humanity through his foundation, along with the truly corrupt?

Generalizations are dangerous, and I'm concerned.

Hi, Thanks very much for your thorough and constructive criticism :)

For me, writing articles like this is as much about learning to be a better communicator as anything, and you've (indirectly) really got me thinking about how i could have written this better.

I'm thinking there should be a single 'theme' to an article, and that every topic/point discussed should be related to that theme. In the case of this blog post, it should have been 'pragmatism' as you identified.

If i had written with that in mind, i could have used every point to illustrate how obj-c really reflects pragmatic principles in so many ways, which would have been a much better article.
I've always been amazed that all the publishers never got together and said "let's build our own web store". I understand that it's not simple, but the alternative is to have Amazon disintermediate you at some point.

It's a lot of different people with different beliefs. The majority seem upset about some combination of:

1) growing income disparity (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/the_great_di...)

2) regulatory capture by financial institutions (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=892925)

3) the use of public funds to subsidize risky investment (http://www.thenation.com/article/153929/aig-bailout-scandal)

4) apparent double standards for the rich (you certainly face more jail time for robbing a bank than for ruining one)

I think that most people can agree that these are significant problems. It's actually amazing how little has changed since the 2007 mortgage crash.

You may want to take a look at how Twilio handles in-browser audio recording (even though they offer something different). Basically, you insert some JS into your page, then the audio is streamed to Twilio, and then Twilio does a callback to an endpoint you specify (with meta data, the URL to the file etc etc). What is also great about this is that I can serve the files right of their servers and not have to worry about it as a developer.

Best of luck with it!
