This page is far too busy. Filter your primary value proposition into a few lines, tops. "Add a simple-to-manage wiki to your Google Apps domain!" Drop everything else. You can add the "Why" and the "Coming Soon" to other parts of the page that you can offer to the visitor. Give them the value proposition and the call-to-action first. Then, politely to the side, offer alternative ways for them to learn more while still driving them toward your primary call-to-action.

I was try to optimize the channels that Google provides for App deployment. Attend Google related events and talk to as many people as possible. Your audience will likely be quite diverse in their needs. But there should be a few features that would add value in a way that satisfies many of them.

There is no question that services like editing are valuable and necessary. The salient question seems to be why authors don't hire their own editors, rather than overpay for the service as part of an unattractively-priced bundle of related services from a publishing house.

>I think that's a red herring.

>I mean, isn't that just the marvel of abstraction? I can show you how it works, on a basic level: See, it goes around like this. This connects here. That switch opens. This moves back, and that's the behavior that we're looking for. Easy.

>Why is it that when that same thing happens a hundred times a second, the emergent behavior suddenly becomes mind-boggling? It's just the same thing, faster.

I don't think it's a red herring at all. Going faster is more complex, more interesting. A spark plug ignites an air/fuel mixtures, it pushes a piston, which pushes a connecting rod, which turns a crank. That's easy -- once. At 3000 RPM that's 50 times a second, that's not easy, that's complex. It requires timing.

I've hand packed fuel into a canister, ignited it, it goes boom, it moves metal. That's easy. But at 50 times a second it take precision. The spark timing from the distributor has to be right, the crank is connected via timing belt to the camshafts that control the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. That timing has to be right. There's a computer constantly monitors the O2 content of the exhaust gases, so it can better control the air/fuel mixture. There's another sensor to listen for knocking caused by too little air, so it can retard the spark timing to compensate.

All this happens 50 times a second. It's far more amazing than me lighting a fuse and watching something go boom.
I feel the same way. Unity wasn't ready for prime time, and I honestly believe it still isn't. They've forced the user's hand here and made it worse by not keeping changes speedy. Additionally, I hate nearly all the changes to the default applications they've made in the last 2 or 3 releases too, but that stuff is easier to fix.

Back in 2006 I made the move to Ubuntu from Gentoo because I was tired of constantly tweaking things to make my system work. Ubuntu ushered in an era of Linux ease that nobody before them had, and as far as I'm concerned, nobody has since. Sadly, they've started to muck that all up. I don't see anyone else out there making a distro that "just works" and has the out-of-the-box functionality Ubuntu does either, which is the most upsetting part for me.
No, you're not the only one.

Most of the problems I've hit with iOS development are Xcode-isms.

I've recently been sent on a merry hunt to get the built-in git integration from imploding, and the project groups vs folders ambiguity has caused mistakes of the "what actual file is this name pointing too again?" variety (and this in turn leads back to the git integration issues when a file is not where you think it is).

It would also be nice if Objective-C++ was a first class citizen with regards to refactoring tools (I understand this might be hard to implement however).

Rarely has it been a problem with the actual language itself.

I hope that they will settle on the stock apps they are putting resources behind. I haven't used Linux on my workstation for a while now, but every time I look at Ubuntu it seems like they have new apps for core things like photos and such, and I feel sorry for people trying to migrate their data around and keep up with the latest releases.

It's really important that such fundamental apps are stable. Mom and grandma don't want to migrate their photos from F-Spot to <photo app of the year>. That is a pretty cruel task to burden average people with.

Best of luck to them though, and I agree that they have a better chance of mainstream success than any other distro. However, it's still going to be a lot of work to get there. Windows and OS X are not standing still.
I think sounds like a great service. But the million dollar question is, "Why isn't there a live demo?" :)

Everything else seems really good. (But you might want to tighten up your other slide images on the home page. Center them and put a white background behind it so it's consistent with the prior screen.
That would be wonderful if their products weren't so disappointing. You can't throw a stick around here without hitting someone who has tried Unity and hated it, uTouch is utterly irrelevant to Linux on the Desktop (I thought this is what Ubuntu was about but I have been proven wrong). Juju might go somewhere, I haven't used it, but they've definitely got some competition in that space and considering their tone-deaf responses to users in the past I'm not confident it'll get any traction.

But this is all fine. They're trying new shit. I wouldn't complain if it was just that. It's the heel-digging that bothers me. It seems that Mark Shuttleworth has, rhetorically, tied his reputation somewhat to the success of these projects and especially to Unity. That is, it will be hard for him at this point to just say "well we tried something new, it didn't work out like we hoped, and now we're going to iterate on the next thing." If you listen to him it's as though their new desktop is already a rousing success. If you use Ubuntu and you are hoping they switch back to another desktop in a later release I would humbly suggest that you switch to a different OS. With a more traditional business model (i.e. if they sold the OS) they would immediately sack Mark and switch strategies with someone who isn't so married to its success, when sales fell off a cliff. That's not going to happen.
The poster seems to be complaining that there is not similar syntax to many scripting languages, where you can do [@"string1", @"string2"], not about two-phase message allocation; he wasn't complaining for "dictionaryWithConstructorIDontWantToType:", he was complaining against it.

In this specific case, you actually can usually use "arrayWithObjects:" (yes, the syntax that the poster didn't like), and it is frankly preferred. If you are doing alloc/init, and (as in your example) storing to a local variable, you should also send an autorelease in the same statement, so as to guarantee exception safety of allocation for subsequent code; "arrayWithObjects:" takes care of all three steps for you.

Ah, I thought I addressed that when I mentioned that I don't wash my own car. I don't do my own oil changes either.

The last decade of my life has been incredibly busy. It's nice to take a half hour and mow the lawn, or walk to Pep Boys, chat with the folks behind the counter, walk home with a radiator, and spend an hour figuring how to replace the old one without spilling coolant all over the driveway.

With all the coding I do, there's a satisfaction I get out of physical assembly and creation in things like home renovation or working on my car that doesn't, for me, ever feel the same coming from an LCD screen. Wiring up a three-way switch on both ends of a light bulb, throwing the breaker back on and having it work the first time, or buying a "broken" drum machine, opening it up and soldering the power connector back on, or tuck-pointing the stone foundation in my house.

I agree that spare time seems more and more fleeting as the years pass by. And though I'm sure there are interesting things for which you're saving your time, your not having mentioned them reminds me of a poem by Ogden Nash, "The Strange Case of Mr. Artesian's Conscientiousness" which Google shows me is quoted in full at http://www.paceadvantage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69657...

Ask HN: Any advice for a hacker without a college degree?
The traditional education model has never worked for me, not in high school and not now in university, so I am strongly considering dropping out at the end of the semester. I'm wasting money and I'm not gaining anything, all of the programming that I know is self-taught.

What advice do you have for a hacker without a college degree?
So Flash effects come to CSS3. Good thing as a tech but I am still worried that these animations, and the @font-face devilry is going to be new "Big Web 2.0 Button" visual design disaster for design.

His ideas on capping the amount of student loans/year is an interesting idea, and I hadn't heard of that before. The problem I see is that this would likely most affect those who can't afford to go to college. Those middle-class families who can afford the current cost of going to college would keep the prices artificially high.

So, languages that have primitives like this typically are designed to be used by people who don't know much about algorithms, or simply don't want to be hassled with it, either now, or ever: they want to write code, they want it to "work", and they want to move on to something else; in essence, we are talking "scripting languages".

Languages that some look at as "real programming languages", in comparison, tend to not have syntax like this, and the reason why is that you often, either now, or at some point later, are going to care whether the data structure you just allocated is a red-black tree, a hash map, a patricia trie, or even an AVL tree (which I include mostly to make a point: there actually are situations where it is preferred to a red-black tree).

When this suddenly matters, you are in the situation where what you want to be able to do is to make a very small modification to areas of your code where you need to select a different algorithm, in order to get the different result; you don't want to be forced to rewrite half your code to use a different syntax just because it was slow (I mean, if you wanted to do that, you'd have written it in Ruby and then recoded it in C).

Therefore, you find that it is normally the case in languages like Java, C++, and Objective-C, that there are no "built-in container types", as you will never find a container type that is actually correct to use in an even fractional majority of the cases; in fact, most of the time, there isn't even a single obvious choice in these languages for what class to use: you find default implementations of multiple algorithms.

Objective-C, here, is no different from this concept: NSDictionary is just an interface, and can be implemented by numerous backends. Apple has a rather good implementation backing the default version, and even attempts to switch between algorithms as the data structure grows, but your code is always just a few identifiers away from choosing a different subclass in that collection hierarchy.
I understand that perspective, however I feel that there are experiences more valuable than money. Even when I was scraping by month to month during college, I blew time and money on experiences that no amount of work for hire would ever get me.
My understanding is Metro is just the traditional start menu on steroids. At any rate, Microsoft seems better able to pivot than Canonical.
I love it too for its readable and descriptive method names. It is also surprisingly flexible considering its age. (I guess what I am saying is that Apple kept it up-to-date pretty well.)
I didn't find this very convincing at all. For starters, the code presentation reinforces the verbosity and difficulty working with it. Don't most languages support named parameters and in an easier to understand way? I'm not qualified to discuss memory management but that point also left me confused.

Fair enough. What I'm getting at though is that if it doesn't work, we're probably stuck with it anyway. If it turns out that some people like it, but most don't, and that in the typical case it's turning people off Ubuntu rather than on to it, I suspect that isn't going to matter. It's a pet project, in other words.
Ah, I get it. Convenient container-syntax is only found in toy scripting languages for stupid people like -uh- Haskell? :)

Most middlemen arise out of a need for capital, in this case, advances on books and publication costs. There's a legitimate purpose to them until the technology arrives to displace the necessity of some portion of the capital.

One of those is near-zero in aggregate for Amazon.
You have to think about it from the author's perspective. Many authors are not interested in the minutiae of the process, and the publisher serves as a single point for the author. There's no need to deal with a separate person for market and a separate person for physical distribution. There is a value (albeit small for some people) to bringing the disparate pieces together into a single package, freeing the author from the need to handle these pieces.

FWIW: I wish the people performing this service in the financial industry weren't gouging customers ...

That's sort of true. They are clearly targeting the touch market with it, but it's a lot more than just an application menu. It think it's a brilliant touch interface, but an awful mouse one, though, to be fair, I have yet to use it in any form. As I understand it though, Metro is just a layer on top of Windows, and it can be turned off if that's what you want to do.
I'm with you. I run 10.04 LTS on my home machine. I recently took 11.10 for a test-drive, and as a power user Unity just doesn't meet my needs.

As a user, nothing about Gnome was broken for me. But in switching to Unity, now Ubuntu feels a lot less useful to me.
This is why I do most of my editing with objective-C in xcode, while I do most of my editing with python in vim.

Tab completion of methods is very nice to have, and makes using xcode as fast as using vim for me. (now, if I could have vim keybindings with xcode tab-complete, then I'd rocket through my editing...)
That does make sense but doesn't solve the problem. Why don't they learn to code is not that it will take them long to learn. But what boggles them down is the fact that it will take them long before they can reach where they anticipate to.

If only one could sell them the joy of coding.

Of course they are forgetting that it's fun right from step 1. (Read: The Joy of Building)

Learning to code is like learning to write. You can do without it but learning it opens a new world for you. Time to write "Ruby / C / XYZ for babies".

Languages with macros and (often) monads allow developers to redefine the syntax and types to accomplish these goals. The point I am making here is that there is a reason why language designers make this tradeoff: it isn't at all obvious that languages should have a built-in container syntax, and when you find languages that don't you can (and should) notice a pattern.

(C++11 is actually an interesting thing to analyze regarding this tradeoff, by the way: the new "common initializer" syntax is designed to provide as much of the benefits as possible of a simplified built-in data type syntax without taking on the semantic burden of having it; however, it also does not provide syntax that ends up being entirely devoid of the type of the container.)

My mother was a self-publisher and also ran a bookstore. She published books for a few others as well, and would constantly run into the misconception that publishing is just about taking the words from the author and giving them to the printer. Publishing is quite resource-intensive (not to say that the big publishers don't also engage in shennanigans)

Similarly, my housemate's mother worked as an editor for a long time. My favourite quote of hers was "You know how they say everyone has a book in them? It's simply not true."

I believe my key mistake was using the term "real programming languages" as the alternative to "scripting languages": the word "real" is quite harsh; I have softened the statement slightly by changing "we look at" to "some look at".

I will also, though, point out that I write almost as much (if not more) Python as I do Objective-C++ these days: I therefore can be said to certainly not consider Python to be for "stupid people", without including myself in that set. ;P
