Yes, until the property market crashed in the US I was a land surveyor. This is the same principle used in RTK/GPS (real-time kinematic) measurement. A "zephyr" GPS antenna is placed on a coordinate "base" usually 2m above it on a tripod, which then continually updates and measures the difference in distance between it and the "rover" antenna carried by the surveyor, as well as the satellite network.

I used to have an updating map on the web of all the GLONASS satellites the Russian government had put into orbit, but it was taken down.
Think of augmented reality apps, 2 vs 7 meters can be a big difference here if you are close to the "to be augmented" target.

Also for OpenStreetMap this would be great. This would get the accuracy down to "error less wide than a street" levels on customer devices.

A lot of folks in the Ruby community were hopeful that Rubinius would replace MRI to become Ruby 2.0. Looks like that's going to have to wait a little longer now.
At some point someone is going to look back through google's behavior to determine if an anti-trust case can be made to break up the company into several divisions.

Decisions like this will come back to haunt them at that time. It's like the microsoft bundling of IE, it must have seemed like a very good idea at the time.

Giving those that oppose you iron-clad arguments for the implementation of Chinese walls does not seem like a good idea to me.
Well, in TCP anyway. LAT was a line-oriented protocol. This is why back in the day VMS boxes could support so many more users than Unix boxes - the host didn't have to process every keypress and the network didn't have to send a packet for it, if you were dealing in complete lines. The flipside obv is that VMS needed (very) slightly smarter dumb terminals.
This is great advice. I never thought about it that way - that it really is just a matter of combinating skills. But now, as I read it, it seems obvious. Also, becoming top 25% in two or more different areas might take some time (maybe even years), but it is absolutely doable.

4 reasons to put up a metered paywall
Is there going to be source code for this release?
Smallpox was eliminated through a vaccine campaign. Resistance against vaccines is generally different from resistance from treatments. For example, since vaccines are in place pre-infection, the amount of target microbes in the body at time of action is pretty low, giving a much higher chance of killing them all. Treatment is usually given after infection, where there will be a large amount of target microbes. This will substantially increase the probability some critter surviving with more resistance genes and then passing them on.

The article assumes that this SSL-on-by-default change is for the only 1 reason: To prevent sites from knowing what you searched for to find them.

On the other hand, I assumed it was all the privacy and security vulnerabilities that go along with not using SSL, and they were doing it to protect the consumer. It's already been an option for a while, allowing those who truly care to test it out. This just changes it to be the default.

I don't think the author is right about Google's reasons, and I don't think it's a particularly logical leap, either.
Oh cry me a river. Seriously...

Google is a company that buys and sell's ad's. This funds their free services like docs, mail and search.

Without their ad's Google wouldn't exist and using their search data to help with adwords is simply Google adding value to their main revenue stream.

Google using SSL helps protect you from third parties. By using Google for search you are effectively saying you trust them. If this bother's you use Bing...
The plan is that the next major release is 2.0.0 and not 1.9.4, which means that they can start talking about the Roadmap in the correct context. Don't expect 2.0 to be released next year.
Computer driving is more about vision systems than GPS. Maps certainly aren't accurate into the centimeter range in any event.

Sailors find that their charts are some times off by kilometers. I've personally seen a large, erroneous discontinuity in the western coast of St. Lucia while using a GPS chart plotter for navigation. Chart data is copied forward from older charts, many of which were made in the 1800s, those guys were good with a sextant, chronometer, and a pen, but when near land you need your eyeballs.
Just because its cool does not mean its conveying the data any better.

Anyway, IMO this whole thing is in fact very much to do with the EU, but not in the way the author thinks. The EU is actually far more concerned with privacy than with monopolies when it comes to the internet right now. As monopoly-like as google may be online, its not in the same ballpark as where MS was/is with windows and office. On the other hand, the EU is in the middle of lots of large-scale actions around privacy. Remember the cookie directives? That isn't the last of it.

Strings are unicode. Bytes are encoded data.

With Python 2 strings you have to be proactive about it and
- always use u"" unless you know what you're doing
- segregate non-unicode data to boundaries by decode()ing early and encode()ing late, or you're guaranteed to shoot yourself in the foot sooner or later

but if you do it it's quite smooth sailing.

Also,

#/usr/bin/env python
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-

helps a lot.

All that just brings you closer to Python 3 anyway and really helps when using 2to3.

Some modern receivers are able to use both GLONASS and GPS
satellites together, providing greatly improved coverage in
urban canyons and giving a very fast time to fix due to over
50 satellites being available. In indoor, urban canyon or
mountainous areas, accuracy can be greatly improved over
using GPS alone.

Is there any reason, other than the higher number of sources, why GPS+GLONASS is better than just GPS in these situation? I.e. Is GLONASS better in these sorts of environments?

The downsides to having no co-founder:

- you get to deal with the stress on your own (or maybe you have a
supportive spouse)

- you can't have soundboard sessions with your co-founders

- you can't divide the labor

- you have to have a lot of expertise in a variety of fields

- if you get ill early on it will likely kill the company

- nobody will call you out when you're spouting nonsense

- likely a long long list of stuff following these

The upside (and it's a huge upside)

- you don't have to deal with your co-founders

That one single factor does not outweigh the other ones but it is much better to have no co-founders than to have the wrong co-founder. And you can't really know in advance if you have the right co-founder or not. You'll know when you are in your first very heavy weather but by then it is too late to easily switch.

That's why even if having co-founders is good plenty of people chose to go it alone, and end up hiring what would have been co-founders as early employees once they've established a certain level of success.

If having no co-founders was a guaranteed fail nobody would do it, but plenty of people get by just fine to prove that it is not a hard and fast law, but more of a statistical issue.

I like Rubinius very much, as I do with JRuby, I just don't see Rubinius replacing MRI. Thats what I meant by 'dreaming'. A non-realistic expectation that is not backed by any real events.

> No TV is so 1990. Really, today 'No TV' would be easy to achieve while still overdosing on Youtube, netflix and so on.

I disagree. You can leave TV on and have an uninterrupted stream of content, images, sound, noise constantly delivered to you with zero effort. Not so with Netflix or Youtube.

You can't "leave Netflix on" because at the end of the program it will just stop and wait for you to choose another one. That alone makes a huge difference (to say nothing of the absence of advertising).

The only serious piece missing from 1.9 is the encoding support. There's a number of other relatively minor failures remaining, but those are simple enough to fix (and several people, contributors new and old, are doing so at this very moment).

And the switch is -X19.

Procter & Gamble and the dark art of tax avoidance
Naw! A good hacker has some BIG advantages!

First, he KNOWS that his code works! This is a BIGGIE because there isn't a critic in the world who can write rhetoric that will stop or even slow the code from working! No matter how many nasty words might be said, the code will still WORK! That's a BIGGIE. Can sleep well on it and maybe soon take it to the bank.

Second, the hacker has in his good code a great example of how to solve problems, an example that applies not universally but, still, significantly more generally. So, one of the first ways the hacker knew his code was good was when he gave it a severe desk check. There he went through the code as a 'logical path' that connected end to end. Well, that's a GREAT 'problem solving paradigm', one of the very best of all! So, apply that paradigm where can to some of the other issues in the startup. E.g., a biggie is, will users and/or customers like it? Well, if have a good solution for a big ass, hairy, stinking problem people are screaming to have solved and for which there is no good solution, then, sure, just found your 'end to end logical connection'.

The run out of cash worry? Do the checkbook arithmetic; then do good planning; then execute the plan well; then no worries, mate.

Net, rationalize, don't emotionalize.
There's already artemisinin resistance starting in several places around the world, especially the Thai-Cambodia border, a very chaotic area with high endemic malaria.

The main problem is that cheap medications are often out of date or have improper dosage. Also, people stop taking medication when they feel better, but before the parasite is eliminated. The result is resistant parasites survive the treatment, and then spread.

We have maybe a decade of artemisin usability in the hottest areas. Could be more or less depending on how efficient public health practices are. But no way is it a permanent cure.
I know where you are coming from.

It can only get worse. When I was at school, and schools first started using computers, everyone - and I mean everyone, boys and girls - started learning Basic. Who learns to program like that at school these days?

That's where the real problem is. People these days expect software to be codeless, and have no basic knowledge on what the thing is actually doing. (no pun intended)

Rather than the new technology seeming like magic, they want the old stuff actually operate like magic, and don't get it when it goes wrong, because they have no knowledge from which to draw on to analyse the issue.

Why should they? Because everthing is IT now. It's as critical to understand it that as it is to learn to read write and do mathematics.
I take a very simple perspective on this "single founder aversion".

If some investor is going to ignore my traction and business just because I achieved it without signing on a token co-founder, then frankly it is their loss and I won't hesitate to politely tell them that. By definition getting to the same results without co-founders requires a much higher level of ability than if being part of a "collective". Any investor failing to recognize that is going to miss out some of the best deals and that is really their problem.

The main focus should be on pleasing customers and partners and if you do that right, eventually the right investors come along (with better terms too). Much better approach than to structure your company solely to please investors and forget what the business is all about.

You might even end up with a business making money and no investors to answer to (or at least investors not having significant control over you). What a terrible thing!

PS: Quite a few people promoted to "co-founders" should really be employees with accountability for specific tasks and projects, not an open-ended license to call the shots.

Using the word "fanboy" to describe someone who disagrees with you isn't a serious argument. Embrace the cognitive dissonance: I like my new iPhone 4s, and I'm excited about the new Android release!

If you don't think the lag is a problem, fine, great. I personally think it's unacceptable. It's one of the reasons my daily use phone is iOS and not Android.

Why are we talking about this instead of the other new features? Because for a long, long time, Ice Cream Sandwich was touted as the solution to these performance problems.

I personally find Android unpleasant to use because of it. Worse, I think it makes my software look shitty, which makes me look shitty, which makes me tell people to demo my apps on iOS rather than Android.
