I am at odds to argue with Tufte but I will. The issue with touch screens is not that they lack the same surface texture as the objects they're imitating. It's that they're imitating real world objects in the first place. I think most people would agree with sculpture and painting, that the high point of those media was reached during the point of pure abstraction. When paint was allowed to simply be paint. Painting stopped being a way to represent the real world on a canvas and was allowed to be itself, the real advantages of paint came out.

Well, let's stop pretending that the tablet is a representation of the real world, and let pixels be pixels. Why pretend they're anything more than that? "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" as Magritte so eloquently put it in '28-29.

Pixels, while not having the 3 dimensional qualities of the real world, surely have many of their own unique qualities; that while we attempt to copy the real world, remain unexplored.
I've heard (from a coworker that knows some people that work at FB; don't take this as gospel) they use some clever trickery to get this to work. Basically, there's a localized cache of information just for you, storing information entered by you that you might see. Since this is a limited set and is easily sharded by user, you can put everything in memcached, have the frontends hit that record and merge it with the rest of the data, and pretty much guarantee immediate consistency - as long as it's just you looking at the profile.

When other people look at your profile, they have to go through the normal eventual-consistency mechanisms, deal with the normal replication lag and message-passing delays, etc. But they have no idea that the information is out of date, because they're not the ones who inputted it. As long as you don't go ask someone through backchannels "did you see my FB update?", they'll never be the wiser.

FWIW, I've seen data-consistency problems on my FB wall before where the same entry will appear multiple times, usually due to pagination bugs.

The first example:

-- "hello world" -> ["hello","world"]
words

unfoldr (\b -> fmap (const . (second $ drop 1) . break (==' ') $ b) . listToMaybe $ b)

takeWhile (not . null) . evalState (repeatM $ modify (drop 1) >> State (break (== ' '))) . (' ' :)
where repeatM = sequence . repeat

fix (\f l -> if null l then [] else let (s,e) = break (==' ') l in s:f (drop 1 e))

Not really in the same spirit at all.

In other languages I agree, in Haskell it's perfectly normal and no problem. Most of the times, the Haskell code is very readable.
You realise you can offer an exit node for only certain ports? It's not perfect for what you want but its a start.
Besides, open-source does not mean open-development.

Google has done a lot to confuse this by referring to everything as just "open". They were still calling Android open even when it didn't meet Andy Rubin's own tweeted 'definition of open'.
the point is, it should have been sandboxed! What's a sandboxing security hole if that isn't one?
The query is a regex, so background$ gets you what you want.
> The real interesting thing about Battlelog however is a Windows PC specific component. If you are heading to Battlelog from a Windows PC and you own the PC version of Battlefield 3 you can launch into a game right from within the browser. How does this work? It works with the help of a browser plugin that exposes additional functionality to the in browser client. Namely it has a function to start the game and pass it information as well as a general purpose function to ping an IP address which is used for the server browser.

Unreal did that back in 1998. They register the unreal:// protocol in windows so any hyperlinks that contain an address such as unreal://127.0.0.1 will launch the game and connect to that ip. The good thing about this is that it can also be used by third party websites such as promoting your clans server and it is completely browser independent. I don't know if it could be abused to "rickroll-launch" the game but i haven't heard of any such incidents.
Steve Jobs could code. He was a technical founder.
While I'm excited about "modern web applications," my understanding is that they're harder to develop for and test (I haven't done one yet). If that's true, it's worth considering if the ROI is there to make your app a single-page javascript app vs how fast you can iterate via the more standard method. You may not have the traffic to where offloading rending to the client makes sense. It's likely many actions your app does are "fast enough" as well, so a rich UI experience isn't going to be a huge improvement. Reserving the highly interactive bits for where it really counts may be a better idea.

That said, it's only a matter of time before the "harder to develop and test for" goes away and rich apps will become more of the norm.
Ask HN: How can I become a better Community Manager?
Currently I am a Community Manager and Social Media worker for a small and unfunded tech startup. I have experience working in community management before this but I seem to have stalled a bit in my learnings. Currently I do customer outreach and PR on Twitter/FB/Blog posts as well as contact small to midsize startup blogs for press coverage.

If all goes well, this might turn into an equity position for me at my current gig and want to really knock it out of the ballpark. However, I could use some tips and pointers from you all about what you expect from a community manager or what your current one does that I could try and adopt in my work routine?

I've been asking a question that I think the EFF and others have been asking: How the heck is this Constitutional?

The problem isn't just free speech issues, but rather due process issues, since the takedown orders can occur without any adversarial hearings. In other words, the prosecutor goes to the judge, presents evidence, and the judge, without hearing from the defence, decides to issue the order.

The 5th Amendment to the US Constitution states in part that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This seems to fly in the face of that. How fast can you say "Star Chamber?"

I would certainly hope that should this pass the first time a prosecutor goes to a judge with a request for this, the prosecutor strikes down this provision of the law on these grounds. I would certainly hope that such a ruling would be upheld on appeal.

and there is some precedent for this. The Third Circuit recently had a magistrate judge refuse to sign a subpoena for cell site location data holding that the request might constitute a 4th Amendment search and as such a warrant was required instead. When appealed, the 3rd Circuit sided with the magistrate, much to Prof. Orin Kerr's surprise (on whose blog I followed this story).
This is a small thing, but its huge for me. As a technical guy, seeing that the entrepreneur has actually tried to code gives me the re-assurance that they'll actually appreciate my contributions when I come on and not just think that throwing instructions over the wall for me to build will even be remotely okay.

For example, I want a guy that knows that I'm using a nosql datastore and why, even if they can't write a query. Someone smart enough to grok things enough that it'll be tough to bullshit them unless you're skilled at it (bullshitting). That way, they'll have some shot of having things continue to run okay if I get hit by a bus or am otherwise unavailable for some period of time.

The previous class on iTunes was extremely useful to me. I'm a college student and the fact that it was in a lecture format made it easy for me to digest.

Reading a book is one thing, but watching someone give a lecture in little chunks made it really easy.

Rendering arbitrarily on either the client or server is hard. Other solutions that I saw forced the developer to have to think about it, so I developed FaxJs which allows the system to handle that complexity for you.

https://github.com/jordow/FaxJs

The gist is that you just write standard declarative ui structures in pure javascript and the system disassembles the markup on the server, and reassembles it on the client with all the events still in tact. You wouldn't know all that is happening just by looking, though.

...
var twoDivs = {
className: 'outerDiv',
onClick: this.outerDivClicked,
innerDiv: {
className: 'innerDiv',
content: 'inner-most-div!'
}.Div()
}.Div();

Or you can just do it all on the client too, if that's your thing. You'll need to work to get this integrated into your routing technology as with any rendering system.

If you do this, crawlers can't index your pages. Also your users see the page loaded blank and being gradually populated with content, which is not a good UX.

I think the fundamental problem isn't one of emulation, it's the lack of any kind of tactile feedback. I write music software and there's a world of difference between a real knob on a synthesizer or a real piano key and any representation you put on a screen. Touchscreens have unique strengths and weaknesses.

There's one thing about Jobs I didn't see mentioned here or in the target web site. Jobs did things out of love: love for his customer, love for his products.

As a result, Apple was one of the few companies that self-improved with each flaw in its products. Self-improvement is hard, and it takes a lot of discipline. Jobs' screaming and shouting may have not been the best way to achieve the goal, but it worked. And until we have proof by counter-example, it may be the most efficient way to achieve the greater good.

Think about your own teachers or coaches. For me, the ones I remember most are not the one who always told me "good job". It's the teachers who fought my flaws, pushed my limits. In many cases, that involved tedious exercises, boring discipline, "coldness" or shouting. I have yet to see a good sports coach who is always smiling on the field and drives the team with "good job" during the match.

To me, Jobs is the best illustration of "There's a difference between knowing the way and walking the way." Jobs knew the way, and made others walk it.
That's what Google used to tell us, but according to the guys of gpl-violations.org, this has always been a flat-out lie. Those "few other tools under GPL" are quite a lot and in no way negligible.
They do now. They didn't in 1995.
The CMS on flat files thing has been done before, for example with a Perl script: http://www.blosxom.com/

Nevertheless I think the concept has potential if done right (and with Github or Dropbox).

Agree, however if there is a single result (such as a background$ query), then show in expanded format.
Where would you get the valid IDs? You can't share the same ID between very many users, or Apple will ban it. You can't buy an iPhone for every user of your Siri app. iPhone users won't willingly give you their IDs. Are you going to somehow obtain and use the IDs of unsuspecting iPhone users without their permission? That is likely illegal and definitely will get you sued and booted from Android Market.

Cool idea. Simpler one: the marrow donor place could collect email address instead of home address.

Another way to look at this is that raw specs don't matter because it's execution and quality that matter. Every Apple product I've ever owned has cost 2x as much as the "equally spec'd" rival, but Apple products last longer and work better because they're better designed and made to a higher quality. I've had the same Macbook for 2+ years and it's still working great, while the EEEPC netbook is slower, full of bloatware and has had it's AC adapter plug fail.
Your first point is not correct. Crawlers can crawl JavaScript only websites using the Ajax crawling API: http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/specification.h...

Your second point has merit. However I'd counter it thus:
* You can load a HTML page first, containing a representation of the end content, so you can avoid the flash
* You can show some sort of loading indicator on page load. Users are usually fine with waiting for the initial page load - it's only subsequent interactions that need be fast.

In other words, there's no reason why the page need be blank.
you do not have to pay for mail forwarding with the us post office. i've moved twice in the past few years and have had a bunch of mail forwarded without ever paying for anything.

Not true. If you are building such application:

1. You need to have a non-JavaScript version. That is your main page index.html is a full functioning page without JavaScript. When JavaScript is enabled, it turns the page into a Web App.

2. A simple loader will solve the problem. You might not be able to show the progress for the moment.

If it's a true application, with user interaction and everything (and not just a set of glorified Web pages), then the former is not an issue; you don't really want your "pages" to be indexed. And the latter is easily solved with a "loading" bar or any other of UI tools previously invented for the exact same purpose on the desktop.

Twisted doesn't just provide concurrency. Twisted also provides tools for building network servers and protocols. Haskell doesn't have anything unified; the community can't even decide which kind of I/O (lazy, iteratee/enumerator, handles) is best, let alone recommend a simple way to sit down and build fancy stateful networking.

Twisted, Event Machine, and Node (yes, even Node!) provide this. Haskell should have a library which does, too.

The fourth and second amendments have been extinct in America for over a decade. Now it's clear that the first and fourteenth are gone too. It's a lawless police state and every effort to effect change upon that status, no matter how large or small, has been ground into dust by the establishment.

It's time to leave America. Take your ball and go home. Without a productive and innovative tax base, the country will eventually collapse, and future generations can reclaim the land. In the meantime - be elsewhere.

It's more like telling that a truck driver works in transportation or logistics. The thing is, of course forums and IM were here since a long time. But different developments have made people aware of it around 2005, it's gotten a lot more pervasive in everyone's life, and so there is now a category for it. The classification of new phenomenons often take a few years until someone can "abstract" it together and explain it. The fact that people here discuss together, meet, share makes it social, no matter what other people tag with that word. Every trend can be subject to abuse, for sure.
