how does it work? do theaters have to pay per ticket sold, or do they pay a lump sum for the rights to the movie to show it for a period of time?

local syntax transformations

This is the key concept, and I disagree with you that this is all Xtend is. Its why I think you are wrong. Specifically, the Xtend transformation is adding information to the java code it generates that it must infer from the Xtend source code. It is precisely not a local syntax transformation.

I think you are assuming that because they make it look easy, that all it is is another macro language with, as you say, local syntax transformations.

More the way that that picture came right after the $500->$150 sale tag and the "most brides can't afford...".

It seemed to me like the authors of the deck are trying to sell low cost bridal, but when they need pictures, they're going far more upmarket (that's $1500 after their discount, not before). That seems to me to be stretching the truth somewhat.

I don't think farmers change their scheduling due to DST - it's mostly based on sunrise and sunset, they will just (not) adjust their watches.
I 100% agree, when you're talking about the ads that are aired a hundred times a day on syndicated television. Then again, the shows are terrible, so I suppose it's fitting that the ads match.

However, what about Apple's 1984 ad? Or the BMW mini-movie advertisements they ran about 6 years ago?

There are some incredibly cool concept ads out there. They usually are not the ones broadcast, but if you watch the end of the year awards for the industry, there are some very creative minds working there. (And creating some impressive work).

Still don't buy it.

The article that it points to, where it's said that energy consumption is reduced by a mere 0.2-0.5% is talking about total consumption - in my understanding the most pronounced effect of DST is a reduction in peak consumption.

In peak hours (around 6-7pm, when everyone is getting home), the extra energy is provided by coal plants, which are expensive and polluting. A 5% reduction in peak consumption might mean that dozens of coal plants are kept shut during that time.

And even a 0.5% reduction is huge when you talk about a whole country...

Bear in mind that a patent consists of several sections and these sections vary a great deal in how intuitive the use of language is.

The section which Linus is almost certainly referring to is the claims. These are indeed expressed in a technical vocabulary which is tricky for a lay person to penetrate.

But the section which is supposed to enable a person ordinarily skilled in the art to be able to make the invention is not written in such vocabulary. On the contrary, it typically written in language which is perfectly comprehensible. The difficulty if any is in having the patience to read a tediously long description with endless references to diagrams.

Groovy is dynamically typed, not statically typed. Though a month ago Springsource/EMC hired someone to build a static type checker (called Grumpy) for Groovy (http://www.jroller.com/melix/entry/groovy_static_type_checke...) with the usual solicit for free labor by spinning the "open source" tale.

Presumably they heard about Xtend from the same place Jboss/Redhat and Jetbrains did. Hence the recent avalanche of announcements regarding Ceylon, Kotlin, and Grumpy.

Event management companies india describes some tips about events

Perhaps "trash" is going too far, even so I find it offensive that someone would put forward the notion that a work environment that is suitable for producing mildly creative advertisements should be the universal model for all creative work.

Advertisements are perhaps the shortest lived, least substantive, and least impactful creative works.
Not this. Even if you want to do mobile apps, just starting out you need to work with other developers as you learn a lot from them. If your goal from day 1 is to work solo you aren't going to have that feedback loop where you are pushed by your peers and can learn from your (and their) mistakes. This is compounded by the fact that you will probably develop proficiency working solo to where you can do things well enough to make money, but the customer doesn't know software design patterns, writing maintainable code, etc, they just know whether something specific works or not. Overall, without working with others I feel a career can stagnate. Its a bit of a cliche, but a lot of developer bloggers write about how if you aren't working with people smarter than yourself than you need to find a new job, by always working solo you're missing out on this entirely.

Talk about useless trivia.
You'll probably need to start with a small company, bigger companies usually aren't willing to give someone their first "big break". I started out just doing my own projects and then did some work for relatives, etc, then, finally I was able to find someone who was willing to hire me a few hours a week to do remote development. From there I just kept incrementally jumping to the next better opportunity I could find. Its not necessarily the smoothest path but you can progress quickly if you keep pushing yourself. Basically, don't think of anything as being beneath you as long as its related to development, take the first job you can find with a company that will even give you half-time to where you can go into an office each day and work. A lot of companies are weary of letting people "short on years" work on development so its an uphill battle, but even working in a QA position could lead to a solid developer job as you usually can expose yourself to the application's code (some QA guys do and want to become developers, some don't). If you're a QA guy who reads code and finds bugs then... to the next job you apply to you can say you were a junior developer, and so on

It's a pity everyone gets so worked up over trivial things like parens - Clojure is a beautiful language that absolutely deserves to be the next big language on the JVM. Yes, it offers a different programming paradigm from Java, but perhaps to make any genuine headway in the future we need a clean break from Object Orientation and it's muddled conflation of identity and state.
I recognized your buildout and thought "huh, looks like JFB... oh it is JFB."
Right, like you're supposed to call ahead and shop around? Or remember the relative prices of the different theaters in your town.

All I remember is that the concessions are ridiculously expensive, the theaters show you ads before the movie, and often Hollywood films have subtle advertisements in the movie itself.

This is why I rarely go to movies. I don't like feeling ripped off.
Gran Turismo 5: A brief history
Well, I've been working as a full time dev for 3 years now and never went to college.

What I did was start low as a jr. system admin for linux systems.
I'm not very social so I never made 'connections' so I hade to improve my skills.
So from jr I went to sr, and within a couple of years got my first job as a jr. dev for a small company.

It's at these kinds of jobs that you will learn the essentials:

MVC
Databases
HTML/CSS/Javascript
Message Queues

From here, it's up to you to keep improving your skills and building projects. Managers don't like github profiles, so I highly recommend you have your own app (not just a website.)

From there you can move on to things like:
Mobile Apps
Function Languages
Socket Servers
Low Latency Systems

Of course, always make sure you study and learn the basics. Such as basic sorting algorithms, working with bits/bytes, etc.

And so on.

Don't sell yourself short. My father bought an IBM-PC and built a record-keeping database application for a niche market that did very well for him from the mid-80s well into the 21st century. It was written in almost-pure PC-COBOL (some ASM), which was already the butt of jokes before the PC era even began.
Rest assured that is not what we see. I cannot speak for everyone, but most economists wouldn't call your theories "ridiculous" unless they had significant experience on which to base such a claim. I hope they would also back up their "ridiculous" claim with some peer reviewed literature that demonstrates that the theories presented are, indeed, ridiculous. I hope representatives of our profession would be more respectful than that.
(I worked for Landmark a long time ago, some facts may be rusty).

Theaters bid for the right to show movies, it's an up front cost to then. This cost is recouped primarily through ticket sales. Revenue beyond that is derived from sales of concessions.

This is why big players like Cinemark dominate the landscape. Through economy of scale (# of theaters && screens) they can drive attendance and concessions. Very much a volume approach and so they show they movies that have a broader appeal.

Indie chains like Landmark have fewer locations and screens, but they target metro areas with people who are more into "niche" films. They usually end up charging a bit more for concessions but they make their money through a loyal customer base. So for them it's important to be seen as stewards of good artistic movies.

Yeah, I used to drink the Kool Aid big time. : )

But really, it's hard for all movie theaters, but particularly the art houses.

(That's why the Stanford in Palo Alto is such a treasure. It has wealthy backing and so you get a cheap ticket and cheap concessions. Seeing movies there is a real experience).
I chose option three for that.

If you just mean that a lobby isn't like a food court where multiple vendors can try and sell you food, I agree it's not a competitive place and ignore the next paragraph.

I think most if not all of the theaters I've been in didn't require a ticket to reach the concessions counter in the lobby, so you could if you wanted buy food there and just leave like any other walk-in fast food place. (Of course the ticket place has been the closest place relative to the parking lot but I don't remember it ever blocking further access.)

The reason for theater non-competitiveness and high food prices has more to do with non-competitiveness in Hollywood, I think. Theaters typically take only 20% or less of the ticket price with the rest going to studios, in some cases depending on the movie (such as Star Wars Ep 2) the studios can demand up to 100%, for the first week or two. (They get more as time goes on but then less people go to see it so it's moot.) Rising costs to make the movies also hits the theaters as studio agreements demand more money. Theater owners are in the candy business, not the movie business.
Probably that it is competitive compared to other theaters, which must also pay the bills with expensive concessions.

Does anyone else think the way freelance work is allocated is ripe for change?

Seeing the positive response to sites like http://tinyproj.com and http://weekendhacker.net, it seems like highly competent freelancers would benefit from a middle ground between the somewhat impersonal market of eLance/oDesk and the inefficient method of seeking work via personal networks. Something like a "hackers guild" of people who have been vetted for quality work. Projects could be semi-automatically assigned to single or multiple individuals based on the importance of the project as measured by the dollar value attached to it and the skill of the individuals as measured by their historical feedback ratings.

Maybe this is just my naive impression as an undergrad approaching graduation who would prefer freelancing to a 9-5 or even a startup but hasn't come to terms yet with the fact that inefficiency in the matching process and initially low rates are unavoidable. If not and you'd be interested in building or using such a system, I'd like to talk to you. It also relates to emerging things like the "reputation graph" and transitive delegation that can enable these sorts of systems, and are going to be huge (see http://blog.hyperarchy.com, http://liquidfeedback.org, http://rglabsinc.com).

I think it's because most people who switched to a mac did it because they believed it would be more stable (largely thanks to clever marketing). Since they already expect the mac to be better than Windows, that's what they notice, even though it's just different.

Also, the sort of people who use macs now either don't use Windows at all or only use it at work which means they're either comparing mac os to an old version of Windows or to an annoyingly locked down work version.
