Sandboxing brings with it XPC, which is an IPC framework for doing very fast and awesome message passing.

It's got some great features for separation of privileges. For instance, you might have an XPC sandboxed process for, say, rendering a H.264 video to a buffer. That process never gets access to the filesystem, the graphics card, or anything apart from the strip of memory that contains the file, and the buffer it has to write its pixels to.

Then you can use this to render a H.264 video in your application, and if a buffer overflow is found that could lead to a video containing shellcode to be executed, you have no fear that bad things can happen to the filesystem or users' stuff.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure XPC is how they implemented the crazy feature where you open a QuickLook window on an image or something in the Finder, and if you it the Open with Preview(.app) button, the Finder's QuickLook window turns into a Preview window.
I disagree. Lots of companies making money in this area. Unfuddle, Pivotal, all of Atlassian, all of 37 Signals, Yammer, Evernote, FogBugz, SharePoint, etc. If you can get consumer-like adoption and add business value, you can easily make money.
Yes, but that has very little to do with its value on the exchange.
If you enable multi-threading for Java, yes. Although they are releasing multithreading with Python 2.7 in 5 days. This statement in their optimization article for the new rules is also interesting:

Muli-threading for Python will not be available until the launch of Python 2.7, which is on our roadmap. In Python 2.7, multithreaded instances can handle more requests at a time and do not have to idly consume Instance Hour quota while waiting for blocking API requests to return. Since Python does not currently support the ability to serve more than one request at a time per instance, and to allow all developers to adjust to concurrent requests, we will be providing a 50% discount on frontend Instance Hours until November 20, 2011. The Python 2.7 is currently in the Trusted Tester phase.

I've also noticed my app's speed pick up dramatically in the past few days. Perhaps because people are leaving before the new billing takes effect.

I don't mind the GIL much because I can just make a request to get a new thread going. :)
One under-appreciated feature of lists is that they can also be followed. For example someone else could follow your carefully-cultivated list of food trucks! (I do this with someone else's list :) )
An I wrong in thinking this sounds like app armor for Linux? A good thing if implemented properly.

Well, the point of Square is that there isn't much to install. Download the app, they mail you a reader for free (or you could pick one up at the nearest Apple store for $10 if you can't wait), and you're ready to start taking payments immediately. Setting up Square is simpler than setting up a traditional merchant account to take credit cards, and then you get these niceties on top, too.

But I'll bet that tap-to-order is on its way.
Clustering is also faster than VACUUM FULL and can be used as a replacement where that is needed.
No it isn't. I'm an iOS dev but not Mac and I can't read the docs. You have to pay to read the docs and find out what sand boxing entails. But I suppose if you're not distributing through the App Store why would you even care?
Apple Voted Largest Influence On Gaming Industry
Hence the phrase "in the future". There's no way that Square doesn't see this obvious step. It's probably already in progress.

Also I'm guessing that what Square currently does already requires a money transmitter license, since transmitting money is exactly what they do.

Just FYI.

"or reply as to why are you down voting?"

well i don't want to get upvotes but if you disagree with me then please take some more time to write a quick comment as to why.

Well i posted asking if it will be visible to naked eye, someone quoted a part of the story (indirectly) saying that it won't be and i happened to have missed that part, and i get down voted (for missing reading a part of the story).. well then i acknowledge that i missed it and i get down voted still even then i asked the down voter why was he is down voting my comments and guess what.. i got down voted.. again. but no one has balls to write back, or maybe they are super busy with their work but anyways, and i wont edit this comment but i can say two things:

- you (or any of the downvoters) probably won't reply to this comment either.
- this comment will (almost certainly) be down voted too.

lets see how correct i am..
Outlier, sure, but your making a very large silly sweeping generalization and moral imposition on others.

http://amphetamines.com/paul-erdos.html

Generalization of "high functioning" musicians, artists, etc. Also not knowing the actual numbers of "hard" drug abusers in their respective fields. Generalization of cocaine and the finance industry, etc.

Once more, on Portugal, seeing hard drug use go down after a decade, not increasing. Do you think if heroin was legal you would dive straight into it?

Generalization / thought experiment; hard drug use would go down with proper (logical) drug education, where schedule 1 drugs are separated logically, not in a stupid sense of marijuana being on the same level of destruction as crack cocaine.

Dear God in Heaven please let them take him up on it. Now that I'm a few days into the new redesign my workflow has become 1. Read RSS feeds. 2. Research RSS feed readers.
I'm a long time, heavy user of Reader, but as a disclaimer: my usage consists of the letters j, k, m, and v, so I'll admit that I don't care at all about the lost social features, and my short cuts and usage patterns remain unchanged.

This article seems no different than any other of the reader articles submitted in the last few days (especially the one by the other former googler that worked on reader).

If his offer were serious because he really really cared about the product, he would have sent an email.

Er. But unless you've given Starbucks direct access to your bank account, those are fundamentally card-based too.
Totally agree. LINQ to SQL is the one feature from C# I wish I had in many other languages. The power you get from the chaining and lazy loading makes implementing many complex joins and the like very easy, testable and compile time checked.

I tried very hard at WWDC this year to get a comment on this. Nobody would clarify if XPC could be used in the way Apple Events are...

All the documentation I could find were about splitting your single app into multiple processes, and using XPC to communicate between them. Does XPC provide a way to query the interface of an app you don't own? Can I ask for an XPC "dictionary" a la AppleScript?

Best Snowboard Goggles
Getting ready to ride this winter? Anticipating the first snow is truly exciting, but spend some time pre-season getting your equipment checked out and up to date. You should be equipped with whatever is the best equipment you can afford, since that's what keeps you running smooth on the slopes.
I work at NASA, supporting the person who wrote the codes that is now used for planetary dynamics simulation, like this. It is an extraordinarily complex problem, and a specialized academic discipline in its own right.

n-body dynamics is a complicated, chaotic system. Getting any precision at all over any reasonable period of time is a feat of itself.
Google Wave is hardly recent though. It's easy to cherry pick bad products from a company that releases gobs of them. I could point to GameCenter. Or Ping. Or MobileMe or iBooks.
I really dislike posts like this that attempt to pigeonhole every college experience into "college." There are such a huge gamut of academic experiences, but whenever "college" is is addressed, its usually boiled down to "humanities majors at large, expensive 4 year colleges."

This, of course, is one of many options. The kind of institution you attend is just as important as whether you're a STEM or Humanities major. Size, core curriculum, intellectual environment, difficulty, class style, and all the other factors that separate colleges are huge factors on what you get out of college.

What should you get out of college? Often, a posited counter-experience is four years in the business world. Which would be useful in the short term, but when are you going to radically improve your reading and writing? You're never going to get the chance to devote yourself, 100%, to reading, writing, and learning.

Of course, the reason liberal arts gets a bad rap is majors have lost sight of reading and writing, and have turned into a pseudo-technical fields in larger institutions. A proper liberal arts degree gives you the same skills regardless of what you major, which is why liberal arts students like myself at liberal arts colleges scoff at this categorization by major...I don't care about majors.

Conclusion: Liberal arts degrees are worth the money...if they're done properly.
When I turned 16 and was excited to drive everywhere, I would volunteer to pick up groceries for the house. My dad would give me his credit card so I could purchase the groceries.

How would a similar scenario play out in the Card Case universe? I wasn't allowed to have my own credit card until college and I would never use my debit card for common house purchases.
Doesn't seem like many people are considering the "security" benefits of having private, constant and frozen.

"Sending Apple events to arbitrary apps
With App Sandbox, you can receive Apple events and respond to Apple events, but you cannot send Apple events to arbitrary apps."

"By using a temporary exception entitlement, you can enable the sending of Apple events to a list of specific apps that you specify..."

The word at WWDC was temporary exceptions are temporary and just there to ease the transition to sandboxing. I.e. they will be REVOKED at some point in the future.

Changing stopping rules after seeing the data creates bias/distortions

We're talking about a fixed stopping rule, which depends on the data.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really understand the huge community backlash to the Reader rework. I spend hours in reader every day, and it wasn't until they added in G+ that it actually became easy to share.The addition made it so I could share within a community I was already involved in rather then a few people in some disconnected Reader community. From my perspective they actually removed the useless and unnecessary functions that made the old reader impossible to use to actually share content. I see it as a good first step, and when G+ actually has a solid API to build upon, they can evolve Reader to use it.

Also, rabble rabble rabble too much white space rabble rabble rabble. I tried some of the community created userscripts to see if the "UI improvements" people were making actually helped and in the large part they don't as the people writing them don't seem to understand UI design.
So very few, though. Many standards have lasted that long (deflate compression immediately came to mind), but few specific tools have. The Linux kernel turned 20 recently. X has lasted 27 years, and remained backward-compatible (X11) for 24 years. GCC (24 years), Vim (20), and Emacs (35) have grown ever-more widely used. How many other specific tools that we use today have that kind of history?

This is the only sensible security model for third party software in the world of today. Actually, this is the only sensible security model in the world of ten years ago. Windows has been endlessly criticized for not sandboxing apps. It's gotta be done and Apple is doing the transition the way that has always worked for them: fast and ruthless.
So is proper namespacing.

I miss most the confined, small but important social network I had within G.reader. I wish, in addition to a better UX the follow/subscribe to others function was imported into the circles concept and reintegrated into G.reader.
vi keybindings don't really suffice, though, even when fully implemented (which many tools don't). I don't just want basic text editing functionality, though vim does that extraordinarily well. I want substitution, compilation/quickfix mode, grep, indentation, abbreviations, file modes, highlighting, and a dozen other things that prove hard to enumerate until my fingers automatically use them and they don't work.
Wow this is a bit naive and egotistical. I HATE the new google reader but to think that it takes ONE man outside of Google to fix their product is downright silly. The redesign was made in the context of Google's near-future plans to ignore that is ridiculous. A more constructive move is to provide a short checklist of things to re-consider or build/recommend a competing product. Its not like Google cant improve it more soon to find a good middle-ground.
Despite its age, I still find myself discovering new useful functionality. Reading this article, I noticed that the screenshot had a shell running in a buffer, which vim doesn't normally do. I searched for the text in the status line, and found ConqueTerm.
> it isn't clear to me where he comes down on C at the moment

At the moment, his main focus seems to be his bar, so perhaps he isn't the best person to ask about the relative merits of C versus modern garbage-collected runtimes.

Not really the point, though: The point is that blanket statements about the inefficiency of gc amount to superstition, and should not just be let stand.
You are honestly claiming Google products haven't been viable or working? That seems like quite the stretch.
Same here. I had some sort of electrical problem with my last computer and lost my hard drive due to it. Unfortunately, my back-up drive was also plugged in at the time and it got fried, as well (really bad luck/timing there).

One of the first thing I did when I got the new computer was to put a symlink to my projects directory in my Dropbox folder, so that all of my projects now get backed up to Dropbox automatically.

this link: http://crankyflier.com/2007/11/05/how-daylight-saving-time-i... says that it's a combination of how airport slots are allocated, the interaction between international and domestic connections and the fact that EU and the US used to be more synchronized in their clock fiddling.

I wonder how much productivity is lost in IT due to spending time dinking with TZ configs, which sometimes involve complex interactions between OS and language platform and are not the easiest thing to test 100% before the switch happens.

Dear kahawe,

One thing you said is that "all YOU do is talk." If you looked into my activities in more detail you would realize that one of my main areas of research is improving web browsing techniques. This is because I consider manual installation to be the most important HCI problem today, and web browsing is the main means of escaping it.

I do not consider Google to "our saviors", I actually consider the open web to be. Here are a few reasons:

- It will allow client operating systems to download and cache resources from the network, so that the problem of managing the installation process isn't being placed on the user.

- It will allow us to escape closed platforms like those produced by Microsoft and Apple.

- It will give us a good medium for delivering intelligent services such as machine translation and prediction.

Google just happens to be one of the greatest supportors of this effort and they deserve considerable praise for that.

> Advertising is at least as evil a concept as DRM

Why? Advertisments are one of the main reasons companies like Google are capable of giving out services for free to everyone, so in this sense advertisments are actually relatively good.

> see a bit of positive that apple has brought

What good have Apple or Microsoft brought exactly? They took Xerox PARC's innovations, then they built closed and restrictive platforms around them, the exact sort of closed platforms I want to replace with the open web.

> In addition you laugh at a person's (actually tragic) death.

The only thing I am glad about is that Steve Jobs cannot do any more harm to computing by acting as the CEO of Apple. it is a tragedy that he personally had to die. This is also what Stallman said.

> I am done talking to you and I regret HN doesn't offer a killfile.

You certainly are no longer interested in having a civilised discussion with me. You are now resorting to personal attacks such as "hypocrite", "troll", "asshole", "terrible human being", etc. Thank you for the mature topics that you did discuss before.

Sincerely yours, Joon Hee.
The real question is this: Is Apple going to eventually make the app store the only way of installing apps on a Mac? I think this is likely and if so is going to be the end of the line for me as an Apple customer.
