Once you get good enough at Python or Ruby knowing C is so very, very important. It releases whole swaths of problems up to you and binding it to Ruby or Python is easy.
Sorry for not diving into the docs and firing the question... Could this be used to easily detect where the eyes, mouth, etc. are within an ID picture? I'm not talking about face recognition, but rather about (the more trivial) face-element recognition.
No, it's dead. It's about to enter a death spiral. If you want to write anything for the web that appears on any mobile device then you can't use the Flash browser plugin. We're going to have a billion mobile internet devices within 5 years, if not double that. Now, since this greatly diminishes the market, Adobe will invest less in it and more in their HTML5 tools because they want that market too.

They're going to follow the money and where is the money going?
I've written a LOT of OpenCV code. It's a pain. This makes it easier to do the stuff that is simple but messy to do with the normal OpenCV, and doesn't get in your way when you want to use the full API. I would have loved to have this a year ago.
I use an ikea-esque wire rack. The small square one is very portable and is fully capable of supporting my netbook, but I got the larger rectangular one that has enough room for a lamp and a mouse too. It also has enough space to support my forearms.
What's all this "blame" and "failure" stuff? It's like Windows Vista blaming Windows 7 for its failings.

This is an evolution of technology, plain and simple.
I don't think the environment is as locked down as you think.

Finder can access windows shares. Apple-shift-G lets you type in any path you want in Finder, and if you are at the command line you can do open <dir> to open a Finder window.

Ctrl-a and Ctrl-e at the prompt move the cursor to the beginning and end of the prompt, respectively. Someone who knows readline better than me can tell you how to move between words.

I come from a similar OS background as you, I've been using a MBP for 6 months and I love it. You just have to take the time to learn the different things with the OS, as you did when using Linux for the first time.

I will say though that I have been too nervous to upgrade to Lion from Snow Leopard.
Lion; It doesn't claim to be a maximise button; View->Go to Folder (Cmd-Sh-g); Cmd+Arrows; The emacs key bindings everyone has used since the dawn of time

You can't be bothered to learn an environment and are angry about it. Cool.
Can you post some of your test pictures?

Re: your attempt: I think you just need to find the starting strip, looks like your algorithm is working.
"Just keep making awesome things with whatever tools you have at your disposal."

This is what's depressing, though. I want to make awesome things, but HTML is simply an inferior and more restrictive platform than Flash. The thought of programming in Javascript instead of ActionScript 3 is soul-crushing. Javascript is basically ActionScript 1.0 (which I thought I migrated from years ago) without the cross browser consistency and more advanced graphical APIs.

Long live the internet, but losing Flash is a bad thing for the internet. It's not Flash that needs to die, it's the entire archaic and poor sighted standards stack (HTML/CSS/Javascript and the horrible plain file HTTP delivery system) in favor of a new standard stack that can actually do something close to the Flash Player.
Wait- they removed "Save as"? I am so glad I chose to ignore Lion.
India Hiring Fair (Sanjose, CA : 12th & 13th Nov)
I agree that Flash will remain a major player in online video for a few more years (I also worked at YouTube on the video player team for 4 years). But for everything else it has fallen very much out of favor, hence the strong post title.

Even non-Flash online video has made huge strides in the past year, so I expect that to eventually erode away Flash's grip on that as well. The only real question there is how long it will take to sort out all of the codec issues that are holding it back at the moment.
I think the issue with Lion and also with Ubuntu 11.1 is that the GUIs are experimenting with various tablet concepts which significantly alter some of the behavior. It's pretty confusing at first but I adapted to Lion after about 4 or 5 days. I still don't quite understand Unity but expect to soon.

I think most anyone who is willing to accept that the world is undergoing a transition into a world where tablets coexist with laptops, etc., will embrace this time as a period of experimentation, rapid change, and creativity.
>In OSX you can only resize a window in the bottom right corner, in Ubuntu I can resize from any corner, or I can hold Alt and middle click anywhere near a corner of a window to start resizing it. No more hunting for the resize sweetspot.

In Lion it's possible to resize from any window border.

I don't know what these other complaints are. Personally, coming from Windows & Ubuntu, I just fell in love with the way everything just works in OSX. I guess I'm not a "power user" though.
I would agree. To me it looks they have made an easier way to create programs that process data in parallel efficiently and made it easy to use them from dynamic languages.

It's not so much "java script is as fast as C++", but "our system is a fast as C++ and you can use it from java script". They are using "Node.js" and "JavaScript" in title for the marketing angle if anything, because people don't use Node.js and JavaScript if they are trying to make parallel data processing programs.
"I have several friends and relatives who personally received this exact treatment. In fact, the overwhelming majority of the Vietnam veterans I personally know did. When my father left the service, he went to work for Pan Am and spent his first few years flying troops between the U.S. and Vietnam, and witnessed this sort of behavior on a regular basis."

These are certainly some significant data points, if what they told you actually happened. It would be interesting to know whether they spoke about this sort of treatment in the 60's and 70's, rather than waiting until much later -- when the "antiwar protestors spitting on war vets" image has become so much a part of American folklore.

"Also, FWIW, it apparently still happens today: http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/occupy-boston-prot...

FOX has a long and sordid history of outright lies and incredibly biased reporting. This particular story doesn't even mention the alleged victim's name. Nor does it mention whether there were any witnesses.
Agreed. Javascript is a horrible language compared to as3, and a disastrous platform compared to flash. I cringe everytime I have to write some javascript, even if I'm using jQuery and the only browser it will ever be run on is Chrome.

What would really be cool is if you could target VM's using whatever language you want (including statically typed languages like Java and AS3. The JVM and AVM did it, so I don't see why V8/etc can't). Javascript should not have a monopoly on the VM.
Yes true it's a hardware issue not OS and yes that's one option to use an external keyboard but I don't want to drag an external keyboard around with me otherwise I wouldn't have bought a laptop.

The lack of a delete key actually labeled "delete" (not backspace labeled "delete") just seems to be a glaring error along with no separate number keypad. More thought went into making it look pretty than to make it useful.

I'd sell this Macbook but I'm getting to like the swipe trackpad.
That's interesting to see the related searches between the two. Github users, unsurprisingly, also like Node, MongoDB, etc., whereas Wolfram Alpha users play Minecraft and read webcomics (also popular among Github users). In other words, Wolfram Alpha seems to be commonly used by students, presumably in math, physics, and engineering.

3) The green maximize button still doesn't maximize.

This isn't and has never been a "maximize" button. It's supposed to zoom the window to fit the content as best it can without scrolling. It's up to the developer to implement it properly with their own logic.
It's not dead yet. Actually there is two things :

- one of course is that as HTML5 get stronger flash loses interest for some scenarios (even if it's still the best choice for many like games right now)

- the other is that for mobile web, it was never the right choice. If you want to target mobile right now, you either do a really simple site in HTML or you target a deeper experience with an app, but there was no space in between for a plugin. Adobe try to embrace both of these cases with their HTML5 tools for the web and Air for the apps. I think that what Stave Jobs understood early on and a reason why he never allowed plugins on mobile browsers.
If you're going to criticize it, at least do so in a constructive way. In your list of 7, I see 2 real complaints.

1) Agreed, this can be annoying.

2) The buttons are visually smaller, but have the same target click area.

3) It behaves the same way it did before, so this isn't any worse.

4) The new scrolling takes a day or two to get used to, and then is better. If you really don't like it, there's an option to toggle it off. This isn't an issue.

5) Agreed, it is arguably slower and tends to drain the battery faster. It's also doing more. It sucks, but that's the price of progress.

6) As I see it, FireVault is a huge plus and not at all a drawback. Was there anything 'terrible' about the process other than that it was lengthy? And really, a one-time conversion cost for such a huge improvement to this feature was a problem for you?

7) This happens with practically every desktop OS upgrade ever and, as you mentioned, isn't a problem anymore.

So besides #1 and #5, are there other real complaints?

I'd personally add "really botched multi-touch gestures" to the list, but I'm genuinely curious if it's actually that much worse or people are just piling onto this rant.
But... nobody can guarantee that. Have you never used paid software?

I mean sure, I can take your money. I can promise you things. So what?

And why the hell was I downmodded for asking a legit question? Is this place falling into reddit land?
So you hate learning the "myriad of keyboard shortcuts needed to get stuff done on a Mac," but are praising the intuitiveness of "hold Alt and middle click anywhere near a corner of a window to start resizing it?"
Only in Apple-produced apps like TextEdit. Microsoft Word, etc. still have it.

In the default Terminal app, there are no shortcuts (at least none that I could figure out) for moving around the text I'm typing quickly, like going forward and back a whole word, or going Home or End, you have to hold down the left or right arrows for a while.

What Terminal.app has to do with cursor movement???
Anyway, redline's defaults (and Emacs') is option+f / option+b (option is meta) for words and control+a / control+e for lines.
Android. The phones just about to come out - 2GHz CPU and HD display.
The money right now is in apps. It's why ideas like Mozilla's B2G will struggle. It's why Adobe has thrown so many resources at AIR. To reiterate; If you ask a user if they prefer an app on their smartphone or a website, you'll be told an app. Flash really isn't a player in that regard. In truth it should've never been and hasn't wanted to be for a while. HTML sites will be and rightfully so, the standard for a long time. But we're living in the age of the app now. It's far more social and measurable than a website can hope to be. It's kinda like "there's web presence and there's PRESENCE" the app provides that in a way where by a website remains simply functional.
Best Piano Solo: Piano Forte Opus 2
I think we're mixing up a bit of stuff, mainly the training and legal structure of corporations and the actions their directors might or might not take.

Let's be very clear: directors who release a toxin into the environment, if done purposely, will end up in jail. Corporations who do it accidentally will end up paying for damages. If they don't, that's a failure of our criminal justice system, not the way corporations are formed. most directors may be very amoral sorts only caring for the bottom line. That's fine. Our system is full of folks only looking for short term gain, yet the greater good is still served. That's the beauty of our system. No matter how hard we try and how much we want it, nobody has ever created a complex system of people that worked solely on altruism.

What it looks like to me is that directors have evolved corporations into sort of a representative republic. Shareholders elect them to be autonomous and free to manage as they see fit -- not move hither and fro based on the opinion-of-the-day. Just like with Congress, there's probably a very good reason corps have evolved like this. It'd be interesting to see a study of more participatory shareholders and how things shook out. I'm willing to bet there are a lot of problems with direct shareholder rule and that what we're seeing is at least a local maximum.
Holding alt and arrow keys will move the cursor to the next word (something I miss in every other OS). Holding command and the arrow keys is like the home and end keys. Also if you're on the last line anyway just press down arrow to move cursor to after the last character (also something I miss in other environments). Combine these with shift key to do selections.
I'm using OS X right now but I really hate all OSs at this point.

OS X is a usability nightmare for me, slowing me down even after many years of using it and trying to adapt to its ways. Lion is buggy on top of that (never ending wifi troubles).

Linux has huge driver issues and the package managers make me think like a data center sysadmin rather than the sole user of a dev workstation that I am.

And Windows is horrible as a development platform unless you stay slavishly within Microsoft's overpriced ecosystem.

But ranting about this is probably pointless. There will not be a new OS any time soon. It's just too difficult even for the largest corporations to start from scratch.
Prestamos de dinero teniendo mal credito
Lion is the first OSX version I've used, and it's really hard for me to understand these complaints.

1) Removed? It's still in there for office and photoshop

2) Never really need to minimize, use mission control

3) Have no use for that green button, use full screen apps

4) Coming from Windows, learned reverse scrolling in 15 minutes, now the other way feels strange

5) Can't really address this, this macbook air is by far the fastest computer I've used

6,7) Haven't noticed these
Yeah, even the investors who didn't cash out at the IPO did eventually end up with $35 million for the company: $11 million from the 2001 asset sale to Palm, and $24 million from the 2002 settlement with Microsoft.

How do I determine the size of a market?
I am doing a little research here. I would like to discover, roughly, how much money there is in _online_ self-help for the last year. I have no idea how to get a number. Is there a census resource; what's a solid way to arrive at a number?
It really does come across as either naive, delusional, or socially maladjusted, sometimes.

Ah and you're right on the 'solving problems' thing, it'd have to solve somebody's problem to get any sales.
Suum cuique but some of your concerns really aren't:

> In OSX you can only resize a window in the bottom right corner, in Ubuntu I can resize from any corner, or I can hold Alt and middle click anywhere near a corner of a window to start resizing it. No more hunting for the resize sweetspot.

They changed that in Lion to every corner, every side. And you don't have to press ALT to do it.

> When I click the Maximize button on OSX, it doesn't actually maximize the window 99% of the time, it just picks a seemingly random size.

There's now a full-screen mode that takes care of that.

> Nautilus can access Windows network shares, SSH/SFTP/FTP access, and can mount NTFS, HFS, and pretty much any other filesystem type there is.

One of these might be for you: http://mac.appstorm.net/roundups/utilities-roundups/5-altern...

> On a new linux machine I can apt-get most anything, but if I do need to compile something I just apt-get build-essentials and I'm ready to go, on OSX you have to download a DVD just to be able to compile stuff from source.

Darwin ports? Fink?

> I just want to see hidden files in Finder, why is that so hard?

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ?

Or just use the terminal ?

> And that reminds me, why can't I type a path in Finder?

CMD-Shift-G

> I like Home and End keys. Where are they?

Erh, fn-ArrowLeft/ArrowRight ?!

> In the default Terminal app, there are no shortcuts (at least none that I could figure out) for moving around the text I'm typing quickly, like going forward and back a whole word, or going Home or End, you have to hold down the left or right arrows for a while.

The keyboard tab in Terminal's preferences? Or switch from Emacs-like to Vim-like navigation in the terminal?

> Maybe for some people this locked down, dumbed down environment works for them.

As I said, to each his own and there are valid concerns/tradeoffs about OS X. But in this particular case, the only thing "dumbed down" here is your rant.
What about Dodge v. Ford Motor Company?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Company

This is the case which is often cited to establish that the corporation's primary duty is to its shareholders, and that this duty overrides all others.

EDIT: never mind, this is already discussed in the article. Sorry.
I was an early BeOS convert, but it couldn't even print (pretty important for a potential Mac audience). The point Gassee is making obliquely is that if BeOS had been acquired by Apple, Apple's management would have stayed in charge. by acquiring NeXT, which was also a better OS than BeOS all things considered, Apple got Steve Jobs who fired the board and shortly afterwards got rid of Amelio.

During the BeOS negotiations rumor had it that the sticking points were - aside from money -largely cultural and managerial. None of the former Apple people at BeOS wanted anything to do with Apple management and they were negotiating for things like not having to be in Apple's org chart. This was NOT a recipe for success.
or try 'init' - loades some random files.
The article mentions that case, saying that while it hasn't been explicitly overruled, the decision is now generally ignored by courts and not cited as precedent. (It was also only a Michigan decision, binding only on Michigan courts.)

Help wanted: Reach 1111 1's in homepage's source code
I started a blog yesterday at 11:11:11 UTC. It's purpose is to celebrate imagination, ideas and the digit 1. The goal now is, as defined above, to reach 1111 1's in the homepage's source code. If you go to http://1p1e1.tumblr.com/ and do 'View Page Source' and search for 1, you will see that I already have 555 1's. But I need your help. How? By writing a story together.

Write a word in the comments here on HN, which I will immediately add to the 'Hacker News story' section in my code. Let's imagine together.

There are several rules. Bear with me.
0) The story writing is turn based, so 1 person can write 1 word per turn.
1) 1 = one
2) 1-e = on
3) -o1 = ne
4) A person can write 2 words if one of them is 1: 1 day, no 1, etc.

Examples:
1 day = one day
some1 = someone
negotiate = (-o1)gotiate
toner = t1r
On Monday I found my mind was gone. = 1-e M(1-e)day I found my mind was g1.

If you come up with a new rule define it in the comments like:
- rule: 1-e = on

When you write a comment define the word(s) you want to add like:
- story: t1r

So I start with:
1 day …

Your turn. 1… 1… 1… Go!
How many of you are building education startups?
My company (http://localist.com) is currently powering the social events calendars of over 40 institutions. While we're not technically an education company, the majority of our customer base is higher education.

Higher ed is definitely a unique vertical that has its pros and cons; I'd love to hear about other HN readers trying to break into the space and the challenges you're facing.
The starting strip is, by definition, the strip on which no other strip has been placed left of. There is no other way of determining what the starting strip is; it's not a given. The problem is that with my current pixel matcher (sum of absolute differences) one strip is wrongly attached. That made me think I also have to take other features in consideration, like color, hue and/or line detection. But that seems outside the scope of this challenge.

The algorithm works fine for some random pictures I found on the web. It's just not working for the Tokyo picture ;-(
Jual Baju Renang Always Here For You, Read This
People hate change. That's what it all boils down to. I've used a Mac since 10.4 and Lion was the first upgrade that annoyed me slightly. I only have one complaint though: Mission Control. I liked my old spaces. I want to arrange my spaces in a grid again.

Otherwise I'd say that if you're open to it and give the changes a chance they'll grow on you. The scrolling feels natural to me now and I have a Mighty, not Magic, Mouse. Traditional scrolling now feels strange. For reference, I do frequently use a second computer running Crunchbang Linux so it's not like I'm used to it because it's all I use.
Regarding that last bit, both Firefox and Aurora were both run from the same computer, within the same minutes, and I took averages. Just wanted it to be clear that, while hardware is a factor, I was stating implicitly admitting that when I said in context. But yes, I agree changing hardware is the easiest solution (but I would do the former just because it's technically cost-effective, and I know how to program :).
I'm curious what you think about the issue of mobile apps and scalability (in terms of having a distinct app for everything you do on your phone).

The argument is that users won't want to install a separate app for all the various things they do on their phones (especially not the things that they don't do often) and would perhaps favor a mobile website instead.
