That's my exact gripe with Cucumber. It's basically just regex soup that's designed to make other people think that you just feed raw intent to your computer and it divines the correct behavior. I honestly don't see how it adds actual value, when Ruby is already so damn readable.
Are you saying that Rails schema migration can only solve 10% of your migration needs?

Rails is a bad example here as their primitive migration-system still forces the developer to write those stupid migrations by hand.

Django/South just auto-generates them which removes a huge chore from the daily development workflow.

The overall market is estimated to be at 10's of billions of dollars in size. No one is even close to being a market leader, although companies like box.net, dropbox, and sharefile have some established customer base. But there is plenty of opportunity for new players to enter and disrupt the market, and investors don't want to miss out on that.

Investors already in this space may see investing in other guys like an insurance policy to maximize the chances of one of their portfolio companies making it big. But there are other investors who missed the boat on earlier opportunities and are looking for ways to enter this market through the newcomers.

From the perspective of a cofounder in this space - there are many interesting problems that no one has solved yet and there is a lot of potential to innovate, disrupt, and make a difference. At least that's what's driving my passion.

Seems like a missed opportunity to me. Lots can be done with "magic methods" for models. Not sure how hard that is in a PECL extension.
Xcode Static Library Pitfalls

I just bought one. I want a computer that I can keep on all the time and be exposed on the public Internet. Instead of paying for a bunch of cloud services, I can install the software on this server and have "my own" Dropbox, radio streaming, static blog hosting, etc.

Perhaps you don't listen to CDs, but lots of people still do. My experience is that for performers on Dan's level, at least a third of their income from concerts comes from CD sales.

Of course, I've no idea how Spotify would affect that one way or the other. If most of those buyers bought the CD despite it being on Spotify, no harm done...
My apologies if I came across as making some sort of ad hominem attack here based on the grammar in your post. Let me re-iterate: for a non-native speaker, your English is very impressive. Sure, there were a few awkward phrasings and some grammatical errors in your post, but I think I'm much more sensitive to these things than most people are, and it in no way affected my ability to understand the message you were trying to convey. I just so happened to respond to the grammatical tangent in the comments here. :)

Honestly, the intent of my original comment was specifically to legitimize the non-grammar-related part of grot's comment. Looking back, I failed miserably at that, and the conversation centered even more on grammar. I distinctly remember having written something else that I apparently deleted before commenting. Let me go back and make a comment that's actually valuable.

> Of course you can read Plato or Homer or Augustine by yourself, but unless you're in a collegiate environment, it's very very easy to be lazy.

Personally, I can strongly relate to this. I'm very interested in literature, for example, but I'm not very well read. There are plenty of libraries around me and plenty of resources available on the internet to help me self-study, but I just don't do it. I can self-study node.js just fine, but I need some coercion to get into Shakespeare. This is something a formal education in liberal arts can provide. Whether or not it's affordable depends on a variety of factors, so it's hard to make a sweeping statement in support of or in opposition to such a degree. But I think people are very prone to looking at educational choices as business decisions, where a negative ROI is obviously bad. I think this is a limited perspective, but unfortunately, it's a reality a lot of people have to deal with.
Complaining about learning a text editor is hardly foolish. Takes time, and it's annoying. However, if it's genuinely "yet another", rather than merely "another", sounds like learning emacs might help with your larger problem ;)

(My tips would be: ignore the menu bar and ignore the scroll bar, spend time figuring out how the C-h help works, and don't (yet) try to fight its tendency to crap new windows everywhere. Oh, and overall, don't expect it to be any easier to learn than vim. It is just as bizarre and alien, in its own way...)
The hardware looks great. I've been looking for a replacement for my home server; My current favourite option is a second-hand Geode thin client with an external harddrive, followed closely by a mini-itx Atom or E-350, but this looks much tidier.

Every time I see a device like this, I'm left licking my lips and pondering just how much small company infrastructure you could fit on one.

800Mhz/512mb RAM is more than plenty to provide Gmail-like full text search for 10-20 users, while $6/user/year ($199+$1 / 20) is much lower than the equivalent cost for Google Apps Enterprise.

All that's missing is a competitive free software stack to rival the likes of Gmail/Google Docs. With the right governance, a small team of developers might enable a huge, disparate network of devices like these, with centralized security updates, a sweet admin/user UI, and be functionally competitive with most paid "low hanging fruit" cloud services (storage, docs, mail, sharing, RSS reader, ...), while offering unique features of its own (e.g. meaningful PGP e-mail, before the message leaves the building, from a web browser).

I wish someone with the right leadership skills could attract talent to a project like this. Young developers these days seem content to reinvent web frameworks and bolster Google's coffers writing crappy Android hacks, compared to those of even a decade ago, who had multitudes of successful efforts attacking Microsoft's ecosystem on its home turf.
Exactly- ideas matter, execution matters much, much more.

The point the author is trying to make is to price that risk according to how Angel investors and VCs price that risk.

One reason you may want to take a discount is that you are in partial control of its success. I also think that if you are going to join a start up you should believe that the VCs and Angels priced it incorrectly and that the chance of success is far greater.

Maybe there's a niche for "PostgreNoSQL", a layer atop Postgres that you start using like a NoSQL solution. (Perhaps, it's string keys and JSON blob values.) It's not very efficient, except for simple keyed lookups, but it works enough for a quick start.

Then, as you use it, the system optimizes itself (or makes suggestions) based on actual access patterns. A subset of objects could be a formal, indexed table? Have it happen automatically or offer the SQL as a suggestion.

"Investment banks do provide valuable services: market making (providing liquidity in many markets), capital raising, the creation of financial instruments so investors can hedge against certain kinds of risk and so on."

I hear this argument a lot. While I think it would be an exaggeration to say that what Wall Street does benefits no one, at the same time it's clear that what Wall Street does is designed primarily to benefit themselves. Any benefit to society is merely a happy accident that gets leveraged for propaganda purposes, whereas on a day to day basis what they're really doing is earning money off the backs of those that are actually trying to do things that benefit society.

If you have this Lesson learned you'd appreciate this followup.
For values of Unix approximating Linux or BSD, your programs come with sources, and/or have been incrementally updated along with the OS. There are very few specific applications from 15 years ago that I have any interest in running, though there are capabilities I had and/or syntaxes I might want to use/rely on.

I started using UNIX in 1987. Among the tools I used at the time were sh/csh, vi, cc, telnet, talk, sed, awk, find, and grep. All are either still present in their original or evolved forms (grep, sed, gawk, GNU find, gcc, vim, talk/irssi), or have been replaced by more appropriate and/or secure tools (bash, ssh for telnet), I prepared more than one paper using nroff macros (groff today).

While these are for the most part text/console tools, the point is that over nearly a quarter century I've been able to build on rather than periodically toss out wholesale, a set of technical skills. Underlying concepts such as TCP/IP, filesystem hierarchies, daemon startup, process monitoring, etc., have similarly remained fairly constant.

In the personal computing world I watched CPM, Amiga, BeOS, nine or ten iterations of Windows/DOS (each with many gratuitous changes), and several major iterations of the Mac platform come and go, among others.

While the proprietary Unix market did fragment, and has ultimately fallen under the licensing correction of Free Software (thank you, RMS), that was ultimately a false start.

Microsoft managed to create platform uniformity through compulsory licensing arrangements with bulk OEMs (Compaq, IBM, Dell, HP, and others), quashing the competition (particular QDOS/DRDOS and others). The binary backwards compatibility is somewhat impressive, but comes at a high cost, and one which today with emulation readily available is rather much a throwback.
You make it sound so simple. Perhaps they wish to sell more units rather than make larger margins. If their current production is incapable of sustaining current demand, it's perfectly reasonable to issue this statement and make people wait rather than raise the price. Companies do this all the time: Apple immediately comes to mind.
Well, I didn't. :)

Full text search needs little more than stack space to perform merges, but it runs much faster with a good chunk of RAM to cache the tips of posting lists. If you dropped an SSD into one of these, the requirement for RAM to achieve good performance might disappear altogether.
Steve Jobs - "Never again"
Yeah, it's strange to hear of a bank refusing to renegotiate an amount like this. Maybe they are certain the company will go down either way.
If not for noise, list() should always outperform copy() as copy() just calls list() internally (specifically type(l)(l)), and also incurs the cost of several interrupted function calls.

Also, the minor difference in slice vs. list() for large lists are likely platform dependent and highly sensitive to the details of branch prediction and cache.

I don't think you fully understand what these "color tables" are. They are ICC profiles, and they have a purpose. They do not degrade colors. They enable your browser (if it is a modern browser) to display color accurately.

In the example in the article, the embedded profile does nothing at all, because the default for the web is already sRGB. If your image, on the other hand, is in some other color space, such as Adobe98, the embedded profile allow the image to be displayed correctly in modern broswers. Without that profile, the colors will be wrong. Of course, in older browsers, the colors will be wrong regardless of the embedded profile, because most older browsers do not support color management. That is why, for display on the web, images should already be converted to sRGB. Most photo sites do this automatically.

When I look at this page: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens I can see that at some point in the past, I allowed Facebook access to my Google Contacts (probably their "find friends" feature). Facebook could use that to check if you're logged in.

When you say that you would never hang out with "the Lisp community" because you want to build great products, I take that as an implication that the language, the community, or both, are incompatible with building great products.

That attitude, to me, is a large turn-off.

I disagree with your notion that Lisp code has to be re-written into another language to address the minutia. I address minutia in Scheme a lot.
Lethal Commission Review & Description
I'm surprised there's been no mention of Lombok (http://projectlombok.org/) since the goals seem to be the same. Lombok of course, is not a language but just a set of annotions and annotation processors to handle the code generation behind the scenes.

I happen to agree that it's more intuitive to use list() instead of slice notation, but back when I had no idea about slice notation and first saw it, it caused me to wonder what else could be done with it. After some reading, I learned a lot more about different slice tricks than I would have if I were just presented with list().

The monitoring servers monitor each other (and themselves), they should be in different data centers. You can also use a third-party service to monitor parts of your infrastructure, including the monitoring server. Depending on your needs a simple service like Pingdom could be used.

If you are wondering how to monitor if both data centers go don't at the same time, I'd say for most companies you don't worry about it. 1) The odds are extremely low. 2) You will notice if two DCs go down. 3) That nightly email that says "I'm up" isn't going to help here. 4) Even the free version of Pingdom will alert you when your whole datacenter is down.

There are all sorts of other things to consider with redundant monitoring, but that's the job of a sysadmin -- identifying failure points, assessing risk, etc.
My understanding of this is you buy a futures contract that says you get so much metal on a certain date. The date arrives, and Goldman Sachs tells you that you own the metal, but it is in our warehouse. Further, you have to wait months before you can get it out of the warehouse, and you owe rent until then.
Well, it's finally come to this.
I don't know what an urrgh will be, but looking forward rather than backward as you suggest, I think it's likely that a small group of people will leverage increasing automation to meet worldwide demand, and that every new urrgh will be cheaper and cheaper (as it must be to be affordable to an increasingly low-wage population) and will be made by more and more automation and fewer and fewer people.

The economy is a complex adaptive system that is not well-understood; are you so sure that there is no such thing as too much efficiency? After all, life itself is inefficient---if we want to get to our ultimate destination faster, it would be most efficient to kill ourselves. But I assume you are smart enough to avoid doing that.

>But will Dropbox’s strategy be strong enough to fend off popular sites like Instagram and Twitter, which also store digital content submitted by large user communities? Or put more bluntly “five years from now, will I even need Dropbox?” asks Schonfeld.

I'm not sure it's fair to compare Dropbox to something like Twitter or Instagram. I think they only store photos, while Dropbox can store whatever files you need it to. I'd say the majority of people would probably store photos and videos, but there are some who like to back up important documents, books, and other work.
I like a lot of what you say in this - especially the last sentence. Out of curiosity, though, does anyone have numbers on the "spread the word" free model? I'd love to see some hard evidence (it that's even possible to collect) that it works.

A lot of people are essentially saying "focusing on album sales to the exclusion of free streaming is shortsighted" -- but how do we know that's true, aside from an intuitive gut reaction? Are tour revenues for Spotify artists increasing? Are more people going to gigs? There must be numbers somewhere.

I should also note that a large percentage of tour revenues are from album sales; I don't know to what extent Spotify is cannibalizing those. So it's true that tour revenue is probably the number one income source, but don't forget how important physical merch sales are on those tours.

So what?

I don't begrudge them making a profit. Capitalism is the engine that propelled us from riding around on horses to putting a man on the Moon in the span of one man's lifetime.

But there are builders and extractors [1]. Allowing a farmer to forward-sell his crop so his income is known adds value. It also allows consumers to know what price they're paying in advance. Both of these make a profit for the bank but they provide value to both parties. This is not a zero sum game.

But when banks create funds that stockpile food for the purpose of driving up prices, the only real beneficiary is the bank's investors. In the short term, suppliers benefit from higher prices but long term you face increased inflation if the price rise is sufficiently large and you start applying the inevitable "me too" to other industries.

If you'd like to see how well denying the profit motive works you need look no further than the former Soviet Union.
