From someone who has processed and edited a lot of RED footage, this is pretty much complete hogwash.

RED cameras use a RAW codec called REDCODE, which records the raw sensor data with lossless compression. Almost every other camera records RGB data that has been through gamma correction, a colour curve, sharpening (ugh..), and a whole lot of other image processing. These other cameras therefore give you very little flexibility in post production for grading and so on.

This gives the illusion that RED cameras have worse colour rendering - because it is not doing much image processing in camera, the un-processed image looks very flat - and it requires some skill to actually expose the image when you're shooting it, and properly process it in post production (this is a professional camera, remember). The amount of crap you see because of errors on set and in processing... But footage from somebody who knows how to shoot it properly is easily on par with the Alexa (which produces lovely skin tones but is very low resolution) and miles better than DSLR cameras with their aliasing and moire that comes from the line skipping and pixel binning that they need to do to get a decent frame rate out of a still camera sensor - not to mention the 8 bit low bitrate RGB codecs they use which are hopelessly lacking as an acquisition format.

And the workflow is sooo hard - I mean, it's such a battle to get RED footage into Premiere for example (File -> Import -> OK). And only pretty much every single grading package, every single non-linear editor and compositing package supports RED footage...

I think Peter Jackson care about the creative possibilities of his tools, as a creative worker he is.

In fact, Peter Jackson IS one of the main supporters of RED, making the first videos and shorts with it.

Peter Jackson will also care about having to move to strange places to rent a camera and return it, and not being able to broke it in the field if he wants.
What'd be a better representation of a save operation?

Since explicitly saving a document very rarely creates value for users and introduces several ways for them to fail with their tasks ("What is this file system metaphor of which you speak?", "I forgot to save this and then closed my browser. Is that bad?", "I just clobbered the old file I was working with. Is that bad?"), I'm a fan of just doing away with it entirely.

I have occasionally gotten emails from people asking where the Save button is in my web applications. Many of my users seem to expect things to work like Gmail/Facebook though: you do your thing, and then your thing stays done, even without having to call your nephew who is good with computers to make sure the thing on the disk does not get eaten by a virus on your Googles.
Given that there have been similar announcements in the past on RedUser which have not shut the forum down, and the fact that the servers were apparently upgraded a few weeks ago in preparation for this one, a DDOS sounds likely to me.
The problem is, I'm not sure that line was actually meant to be funny.

Pop-Tarts are a cheap, readily-accessible, easily-consumed source of calories with a long shelf life that most people will at least tolerate. They're nutritionally incomplete, but they will help keep you alive and functional in the short term.

Most people don't stock up on MREs and survival bars, nor even have a clue where to start. Under such circumstances, it's both expected and reasonable that they reach for a familiar, readily-available energy source.

philg's comment:

"Folks: The problem with Google promising to hold “personal information” confidential is that a document may not meet the definition of “personal information” given in http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/faq.html#toc-terms-per... . For example, if you write down some ideas for a new product and keep it as a Google Doc there may be nothing in the document that identifies you as the author and therefore it might be okay for Google to read or distribute the document.

Generally speaking the Google privacy docs address a separate issue from the question of keeping email or documents confidential. They are about the question of whether your identify is kept confidential when you’re browsing around the Web and Google is figuring out what your interests and demographics are. Worthy stuff to be writing about, no doubt, but it doesn’t shed much light on the subject of whether a Google employee can copy and paste paragraphs from your email messages or Google docs."

Is there actually a shipping user agent, screen reader or otherwise, that behaves this way? I could be wrong but I don't recall that they were ever particularly quick to make use of all the new markup we try and provide for them.

It reminds me of the battles about CSS vs Tables for layout where screen readers were always wheeled out as an argument for not using tables. Expect that all the shipping screen readers seemed to cope fairly well with tables.

(There are many ways in which your markup can break screen-readers but the issues are often more subtle and complex than 'use this tag or that tag' and require someone to actually test in a specific screen reader)
Reading up a bit on REDCODE (simply by hitting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REDCODE) the fact that the audio is uncompressed amused me. With the bandwidth spent on the video content, I guess 4 channels of 24-bit PCM at 48 kHz just doesn't matter. :)

But you can know whether a CRL is valid, provided Apple's own CA hasn't been compromised. If Apple were to issue a complete CRL every 6 hours or so, then man-in-the-middle filtering won't work since clients can simply not trust any new signatures until they have seen the current CRL.

So the man-in-the-middle attack can keep the client ignorant of the contents of the CRL, but can't trick the client into believing a revoked certificate has not been revoked.

SSL is a red herring here, since we care about authenticity, not privacy.

Even worse than having to read weird abbreviated variable names is having to write them. You know the variable you want to write is something to the effect of "the number of buses", but then you can't remember if it's numBuses, nBus, nBuses, num_buses, or God knows what. It gets even worse when the original author starts dropping random vowels, so you have to guess nmBuses or nmBs or something horrible like that. Who knows what letters they decided to omit?

Much easier to just write out a clear, concise variable name with no abbreviations (other than those that are extremely obvious and common). Even if the variable names are a little longer, your text editor will autocomplete them (right?).

Here's a random theory:

They would've met each other a little later, and done the same thing. Jobs and Wozniak orbited each other a few times before they really connected professionally. If you change one little thing so they wouldn'tve met each other, they would've met each other some other way.

And if you change enough things so that they NEVER would've met each other, you'dve changed enough things that they wouldn't really be Steve Jobs and Woz anymore.

What separates good code from great is emphatically not style. It's the fundamental architecture. The omniscient vision to create a program that is somehow much more maintainable, much less likely to have bugs, or much more extensible than dozens of other potential solutions that any competent programmer would agree are "good". Great code can come from a combination of repeated iteration and deep thought, or it can be serendipitous, only emerging as great through the test of time. It's not only great programmers that write great code, and being a great programmer is no guarantee of producing great code consistently. It arises at an ideal intersection of mathematics, cognition, and utility. I hope to write some, someday.

This is absurd. Steve Jobs would definitely get funding. He's persistent, persuasive, and full of ideas. He'll eventually convince an engineer to join him by any means necessary. He'll shine when it comes time to present to VCs. He made many of the initial inroads with Apple in the early days raising money, getting manufacturing components, and employees as a shoeless, unbathed hippie with long hair. He made initial investors believe in personal computing when there was no such thing. I think that's much more difficult than convincing venture capitalists looking for the next hot thing in an overheated market.

In emacs, one can take out the drudgery of manually aligning and realigning your variables in tabular fashion using the align commands[1].

In certain revision control systems, one doesn't keep differences, but whole objects, so the point is moot there unless you have some serious bandwidth concerns.

Producing art? Isn't that seen as a goal to aspire to? To create a society where nobody wants for anything, so that people are freed up to spend all of their time in the pursuit of art?

This is the plot line of several Star Trek episodes as well as many SciFi short stories/novels.
The clip is obviously not at 24 fps, it's too choppy for that.
Code is read many more times than it's written. Re-aligning isn't really time consuming.
In my younger years, I was extremely meticulous about tabulating anything in my code that was remotely tabular, but these days I pay less attention to that. Constantly re-aligning is a pain, as you mentioned. Another thing I've found is that it forces you to spend brainpower on decisions that are ultimately pointless. For instance, if the code is mostly tabular, but one line has an extra column, what do you do? Stick that column into an existing column? Add another column that will look weird with that one entry hanging? Etc.

Another really irritating result of lining everything up just so is that when you do a search+replace on a bunch of code, and change the length of an identifier. Suddenly you've screwed up the formatting on a bunch of tables without even knowing it! This is especially annoying with doing a search+replace across multiple files, with lots of code.

That's not to say that lining things up sometimes is a bad thing, particularly when you really have a table (e.g. initializing a big array of structs). Sometimes having things lined up makes it easier to edit later (e.g. using Vim's visual mode). But I'd say that 90% of the time, it's a waste of effort that could be spent, say, making your code actually work better, rather than look better.
The sad thing is that they do not need to hire hackers. They have been kidnapping Engineering students (electronic or software) and forcing them to work for them with the "plata o plomo" approach.

Moreover, it is known that cartels have connections in every government agency, such as the CISEN (Mexico's national security agency), Policía Federal Ministerial (Mexico's FBI). That's one of the reasons why a lot of "protected witnesses" or people who report crimes are murdered, because there is always someone inside these agencies.
Construct 2 is a very powerful engine, and a lot of great games are being made in it! Describing it as 'point-and-clicky' really doesn't justify it at all.

Yeah, when I was a less experienced programmer, I spent a lot of time formatting code. I made everything ultra-nice looking.

But you can only get 10% more readability this way. Any style is readable as long as it is consistent. You get used to reading non-aligned code, and the advantage of faster editing/diffs makes it better IMO to stop aligning it (I used to do that).

The real difference comes when you learn to break down your problems correctly, and control dependencies. Another way of saying this is to make the program structure matches the problem, rather than manually compiling lots of irrelevant details.

Part of the benefit is that you literally will have fewer lines to read. There will be fewer lines of code, and you will have to read and understand a smaller portion of the code to make a given change.

Code formatting is just a small part of maintainability. I agree this article seems "small".
Excellent point. I bet we (many of us professional software developers) are so used to the concept of man-hours that we may be grossly misinterpreting the 1300 hours figure. It could well be up to 1300 times 30 people.

Spreading 1300 manhours for 30 people over 22 months seems a bit thinly spread as well, if you ask me.

I suggest you try it out when you have the chance. (If you want you can test out HN to see how the experience here could be significantly improved if headline tags were used correctly.) Here is a short video if you can’t try yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxlxx6RXbs8

Nope. Apple agrees to buy 1 to 5 million ipod screens from a supplier, at a $10 per screen (totally made-up figure). They say they want boxes of 100,000 units, delivered within 1 week of whenever they feel like asking for them. So Apple doesn't need a warehouse, they get their supplier to pay for that.

They also have an identical deal with another supplier, so they can play them off against each other if they need to renegotiate. Most companies would just go with whichever supplier was cheapest, but Apple may find it cheaper (in the long run) to keep the competition going.
To answer GP's question, "in stock" is a buffer between manufacturing and consumer. Apple has an algorithm to keep that buffer small but flowing.
