What helped me was pushing frontend tasks into the backend to utilize the full quota for those two. Adding some pre-checks to the tasks (e.g. asking questions like "do I really need to scrape this page again now?) were helpful as well.

Nevertheless, I feel that it has become a bit of a drag deploying a full-blown web-app on App Engine as these restrictions are running against fast iterations and quick deployments. I wish there were more tools to test the loads locally.

Honestly WordPress is starting to feel like Movable Type right before they jumped the shark. You know I really wish they'd focus on improving WordPress itself rather than getting distracted by legal actions and selling premium hosting plans. In fact if there was a self hosted version of Tumblr I'd most likely jump ship within a few seconds.

I like the tweaker v innovator perspective. I agree that Jobs, and Apple in general perfect rather than innovate. E.g. they didn't invent mp3 players, they just made a really good one. They didn't invent phones with browsing capabilities, they just made them really easy to use and nifty.

The point is that the semantics of CS are the same as javascript.

> Taxing individuals is a lot simpler. You live in the US, you pay US taxes on all your income.

Not quite as simple as that, actually. As a US citizen, you have to pay US taxes on your income even if you live and work in another country. Which sounds a lot like the problem that Google and other companies successfully avoid: a jurisdiction claiming tax on income taking place entirely outside of their jurisdiction. Individuals just have fewer options to help them avoid this problem; I suppose you could call that "simpler".

(Also, I'll carefully note that you said "simpler", not "simple". The latter rather obviously does not apply to the US tax code.)

> If I use Linux I can load a number of different filesystems. Are these not part of the OS?

Actually, most filesystems are part of the kernel. There is the FUSE mechanism, on which you can attach user-space file systems. Filesystem drivers attached in such way are usually (unless you are doing something wrong) portable across OSs that share similar mechanisms and, as the name implies, are withing the user space. not OS-space.

> it is often a feature of the OS

Much like tires are a feature of a car. The fact you bought them together does not mean they are the same object. A tire is not a car much like a GUI is not an OS.

Regardless of your view on taxation, it seems pretty reasonable to only have to pay taxes in one jurisdiction (the one in which the income occurred). Differing views on taxation could argue over whether one or zero jurisdictions should get to impose taxes, but it seems pretty reasonable that no more than one ought to.

Being needed and being appreciated aren't the same thing. What we want is appreciation, even if what we do is sort of pointless.

That opens up all kinds of possibilities to how to spend our time. For example, if you didn't need to work to meet your basic needs, you could decide to devote your time to beating videogame records. It would be completely useless, but still lead to lots of appreciation for your skill. Doing a hobby all day long could become the norm.

The more I read from this biography, the more it reinforces my suspicions that Steve Jobs was a bigger, more narcissistic asshole than I previously imagined. I always thought there was a temper but that it was probably exaggerated through first-hand accounts filtering to the outside world. Now I see that Jobs really was a petty, delusional bully who constantly took credit for other people's ideas in an insecure attempt to convince everyone that he was the creative genius behind everything.

Much of the success in the second Jobs era of Apple is attributable to Ive, Cook, Schiller (it was in fact Schiller who first suggested the iPod's click wheel), and many others. I'm now beginning to believe that Jobs' presence is unnecessary and that without him, those who were the driving force behind Apple's recent successes will have a greater opportunity to shine.

Much of the press that has been portraying him as the inventive genius behind Apple is playing right into the image Steve was always trying to reinforce. Hopefully, this biography, as well as other objective coverage, will open up the behind-the-scenes of Apple a bit and let people in on how much responsibility other people really had for Apple's success. Steve had plenty of failures in his career, and his obsession with the color scheme at NeXT didn't contribute to any kind of leadership position in the marketplace. Fretting over the design of your oxygen mask in the hospital just sounds ridiculous, almost as if he was knowingly playing a character, to add to his own mystique as the eccentric, meticulous jerk who's so zany that he frets over the design of his oxygen mask. Steve was very image-conscious, from his Beatles haircut to his turtleneck wardrobe. I think his policy of secrecy was important specifically to aid in maintaining that carefully crafted imagery, to avoid letting the salacious or less interesting realities of both him and Apple reach the public's ears.

He was an interesting, motivating person, but I fear that future entrepreneurs will use the glorified image of Steve Jobs as justification to treat people like shit. It's not necessary and wasn't the reason for Apple's success. One must also wonder how much of Steve's stubbornness has cost Apple opportunities or how much his belittling of people has driven away talent.

I understand your opinion here, and in fact I sort of share it, but having myself been in a situation where I affected the balance sheet in the low seven-figure range (in a good way) and received in return a good review and a 'keep it up', i.e. no raise or bonus, I can completely sympathize. It is maddening when people are buying expensive cars and nice homes with profits made possible by your work.
Personally i find this sort of thing the wrong use for Kickstarter. Kickstarter is about letting people who wouldn't otherwise be able to complete project get funded by the community because it cool, quirky or useful. It should be used to circumvent the normal sales cycle for thoes who can afford it. The two gentlemen with almost certainty had $10,00 themselves to launch this product they just needed customers and publicity.

They have succeed but have also taken away the possibility of another entrepreneur getting funded(possible a college kid) who has a great product but most definitely does not have $10,000 to spend for something like this.

A court already decided on this, that Microsoft legally licensed Apple's interface elements in the original Windows 1.0 agreement. The decision was held on appeal. The fact Apple had originally licensed from Xerox contributed to its loss against Microsoft, since it had not actually invented the things it was suing over.

You should also know that Xerox sued Apple for its use of their GUI, though the case was dismissed.

Maybe Joel is right, maybe not. It might depend on the person. At 13 years old I tried learning C++, at 14 Java, at 16 C.

None of them stuck. Part of it was that the concepts were too difficult to understand. In which case Joel's list might help, as it is more about concepts than teaching programming. I think a bigger part of the problem was that it was too difficult to write anything useful in those languages. After a semester of C (Intro to Programming) I don't think I could write a single useful program. If it was a semester of Python I'm damn sure I could write useful code after it.

I wish a book like "Learn Python The Hard Way" existed back then. It would have been great to understand the basic concepts of programming, and see the code actually work. I remember a C class where the instructor was teaching about arrays. I don't think a single person in the class really understood what he was talking about. Compare that to Python lists and dictionaries, you can see them work, you understand what they do and how to use them immediately.

I'll take Joel's advice and read those books. But I'm not sure they are best way for people to start.
Do you only review book on the internet or do you also work for a newspaper etc. If not what motivates you to review all those book?

Meh. I do not program in Objective-C but I think I can provide more reasons for liking the language than the linked article contains :)

Reason 1: When you need what C provides, it is right there for you (being a superset of C)

Reason 2: When you need what C does not provide (basic reflection, generics, polymorphism, whatever) it is in the "bracket" part of Objective-C.

Reason 3: The two above do work quite well together - the impedance mismatch is minimal, compared to e.g. Python with extensions written in C.

Imagine if every car manufacturer copied the design of the "perfected" Ferrari until almost every car sold was inspired by that Ferrari.

Then I would say that the designer of that car had contributed to society.

This doesn't suggest that, as you say, 'opinions cannot be easily changed by media'. Sure, it would not do much good for a personality to appear on the air and basically tell his audience 'you need to think this', but these weaker, less direct methods of influencing opinion are effective and mass media uses them with generally great success. Perhaps the key word is 'easily', but the damage is done regardless.
Facebook Poke is dead, Hiddenhint is the new king
Do you wonder if someone you are interested in has the same feelings for you? You want to find out but have not had the guts. Hiddenhint offers you in a new way to find out if your feelings are mutual without the risk of losing friendship or the embarrassment of getting turned down.
With the app Hiddenhint you simply add someone you are interested in to your secret list. He or she will then receive an anonymous message explaining that someone is interested. If the person you are interested in adds you, a match is made. You now know that you are both interested in each other and can take your relationship to the next level.

Lost "Triumph of the Nerds" Steve Job's interview to screen in cinemas
Well...you could say the same for biographies of John Lennon that highlighted the personality flaws that accompanied his talent. Yes, the question of whether there is a connection or not is left open, but it's still glorifying his negative attributes because it's about him. In my opinion, whatever is written about Jobs at this point, good or bad, will be associated with his talent.
The 'What do you do' question almost always comes up. Or the 'what are you working on?' question. That's when you can say your few words about what you do and what you are working on. If the other person is interested they might ask a question. You say something like:

"I'm a app/web developer who just finished contracting at the fastest growing company in the world making apps for fortune 100s and am now working on a start up doing Travel Guide-Apps."

Their eyes may glaze over half way through your "I'm a web developer..." at which point you notice this and drop it, ask them what they do, or ask them some other question.

Anyway, I guess that is basic 101 conversation techniques.

A fun game I used to play with friends in bars/clubs was introducing someone else. My friend would pretend to be a french student new to the city and I was introducing them around. Got into some very funny conversations with people... especially when they realized what the game was.

Steve Jobs wasn't the designer of the iPhone. Other people made it while he cracked the whip. For some reason, a lot of the press is giving him credit for everything at Apple in spite of his infamous reputation for taking credit for other people's work.

Jef Raskin said these things in regards to the Macintosh project:

"What I proposed was a computer that would be easy to use, mix text and graphics, and sell for about $1,000. Steve Jobs said that it was a crazy idea, that it would never sell, and we didn't want anything like it. He tried to shoot the project down."

"After he took over, Jobs came up with the story about the Mac project being a 'pirate operation.' We weren't trying to keep the project away from Apple, as he later said; we had very good ties with the rest of Apple. We were trying to keep the project away from Jobs' meddling. For the first two years, Jobs wanted to kill the project because he didn't understand what it was really all about."

"I was very much amused by the recent Newsweek article where he [Jobs] said, 'I have a few good designs in me still.' He never had any designs. He has not designed a single product. Woz designed the Apple II. Ken Rothmuller and others designed Lisa. My team and I designed the Macintosh. Wendell Sanders designed the Apple III. What did Jobs design? Nothing."

To enjoy a wonderful, productive and stable marriage, its true beginning must first be considered. Only one reliable account provides the answers—the world’s best-selling book of all time, the Bible—which gives a record of when marriage was first instituted.

The first marriage is recorded in the book of Genesis, at the creation of the first two human beings, Adam and Eve.

It's a shame, it had been rather sensible up until that point, and from a different enough perspective that it was worth reading.
>When Vincent shouted, “You’ve got to tell me what you want,” Jobs shot back, “You’ve got to show me some stuff, and I’ll know it when I see it.”

I too am like this. I know what I want when I see it. I also know good stuff. I am sure most people are the same way too.

The main difference between us and Jobs is; we do not have the patience to wait until it it is right. The heart to tell 64 (!!!) nurses that they do not fit. The authority to tell geniuses their work suck and they should come back with more designs.

He was willing to be rude, difficult and a bully to get it right.

Can somebody recommend a database with an API like Mongo's, but performance and durability more like Postgresql or Oracle's?

What I want to do is throw semi-structured JSON data into a database, and define indexes on a few columns that I'd like to do equality and ranged queries on. Mongo seems ideal for this, but I don't needs its performance, and want durability and the ability to run the odd query which covers more data than fits into RAM, without completely falling over.

Right now, the alternative is to do something like the following in Postgres, and have the application code extract a few things from the JSON and duplicate them into database columns when I insert data.

CREATE TABLE collected_data(
source_node_id TEXT NOT NULL,
timestamp INTEGER NOT NULL,
json_data TEXT);
CREATE INDEX collected_data_idx ON collected_data(source_node_id, timestamp);

Work Exchange from Second Life Creator
The white man bought all the land from the natives too, when they first arrived in North America. For peanuts. The natives had no concept of what they were doing because they didn't understand the importance of what they were giving away (and economic transactions of the sort were a newfangled thing for them). High school history classes. As my teacher said, "And you might think that these guys got ripped off. Well, they did."

A legal transaction can still be considered stealing, and I think it's very easy to say that Xerox didn't realize what they were giving away. Now the thing is, when transacting with an entity like Xerox, it probably can't be considered criminal. :)
