I'm sorry to say, but you're merely showing that you're not aware of core development of Perl. Not a mistake of your's, mind, marketing of perl core dev is terrible and i need to start fixing that, but there's a lot going on:

Figuring out "why now?" implies you understand and can verbalize the exact spot an industry is in. This wil take you at least 4 years of working in hat industry. Infact I would go so far as to say it's nearly impossible to answer the question "why now" without creating a product or working in that industry. "build something people want" is a much better tactic than making decisions based on an answer to this question which in all essence is a thought experiment of dubious value.
Track record of being right is unmatched in the last several years? Do you care to provide proof for that? I'm not saying that you are wrong, but this is a pretty big claim to make.
> Everyone who thinks "I should be developing for platform X" is thinking far too small.

I started to develop for the web and the browser "platform" in the late '90 and it is still going strong. Maybe it is _you_ who are thinking too small? Back in the '90 we knew that the next big thing would be mobile, but it never happened. It was first when Apple introduced the iPhone, iOS SDK and the AppStore that we got a breakthrough and everyone could develop and get their app on a mobile device. Before Apple, only a select few, anointed by telecom operators and for a step price could get their app on a mobile set. I say that Apple paved the way for making development for the mobile platform accessible for "everyone" and now finally, mobile might just be the next big thing. What is interesting is that the browser "platform" still is a strong alternative for mobile and native apps.
Control Your Food Portion
I think people who say that the FPS industry is bland and uninspired fundamentally misunderstand the genre. Do you want to know how to kill a multimillion dollar franchise? Why don't you ask Bungie.

After Halo 2 shipped, Bungie went to the drawing board for its next title and a company that faniced itself as inspired and innovative did the only thing that it knew how to do; innovate.

But by the time Halo 3 was released, Halo 2 had grown into a different beast entirely. While Bungie developers, perhaps naively, thought of their baby in terms of things like 'awesome' and 'badass', H2 had become the flagship competitive title for MLG, the now largest pro gaming curcuit in America, and had fostered the first real breakthrough of competitive console FPS into the American ultra mainstream. The people playing this game now thought of it in terms of 'balance' and 'skill gap' and 'teamwork', topics that require experience on a level of play beyond the grasp of the creators themselves to truly understand.

And there's a huge difference in the way you would develop for those two schools of thought. Bungie was caught up in making a game for themselves still, and they did so at the expense of alienating a fanbase that had become nothing like them. For a game that lives and dies by its online community, this was the kiss of death.

After a game becomes competitive you can't change the recipe, you can only add sugar. No one clamors for drastic changes to be made in baseball or basketball because the attraction to competitive games isn't innovation, it's competition. Bungie desperately wanted to improve the franchise with cool features and new mechanics and powerups and it was all for naught because, at the end of the day, all Halo 2 players wanted to play was Halo 2.

My preference is to use only the bootloader for the OS I'm booting, as opposed to a "boot manager" that presents a menu of OS's. I avoid using chaining techniques the way something like GRUB does. And I don't use MBR's if I don't have to. Disklabels alone will suffice. So the stick contains only an OS-specific bootloader and the OS, usually just a kernel with embedded ramdisk or a loadable kernel module containing a filesystem and userland. I keep it very simple.

This works well for me with PC's. Would this work with today's x86 Macs?

It's an ambitious undertaking, but your timing is good. Stanford's Programming Methodology class is free online and teaches Java:

http://see.stanford.edu/see/courseinfo.aspx?coll=824a47e1-13...

There are many technology specific classes at JPassion.com. It used to be free, so I'm not sure whether a subscription is required.

As for libraries, there are over 5,300 games written in Java on sf.net:

I subscribe to their newsletter and Arianne and FreeCol are often listed as top projects, so you'll want to check them out.

BTW, Steve Yegge did something similar with Wyvern:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern_(video_game)

I believe that contained hundreds of thousands of lines of Java. Given his bent towards dynamically typed languages these days, I don't think he'd do it in Java again.

> I would even guess that the majority of founders who are acquired by Google, Yahoo etc. leave in the first 12 months.

That is absolutely not the case.

You often don't even hear about most Google acquisitions, or you don't know what they were even working on until they get released as Google Egg Timer or something. And even after vesting a lot of acquired employees still stick around. Some of them have families by then.

Yahoo tries hard to make them quit in disgust, but even they hang on to founders longer than that.

Yes, in the sense that they can't charge customers paying with a credit card a different price. However, because payment fees are an expense to their business, merchants absolutely pass on that cost to customers - it is reflected in the final price of whatever they are selling. In a sense, the non-credit paying customers subsidize those paying with a credit card.

Come creare una link building efficace:
I think you had it right the first time, and changing it detracted from
your real point, "Why now?"

You intentional blurred the normally clear distinction between something
sold (product/service), and a buyer. In the case of Google, Facebook,
LinkedIn, Twitter, and similar, the users of the service are the product
being sold, and the buyers are (typically) advertisers. The users are
given something useful and beneficial (search results, creepily stalking
other people, pointless "business" connections, publicly broadcasting
the precise color of your last bowl movement, etc.) to attract them, but
there must be someone else, a buyer/customer, willing to pay for it
all or you don't have a business.

In the above sense, collecting users by offering free services is really no different than manufacturing physical products; in both cases your expending capital to create a "product" with the intent of selling it for more than what it cost you to create.
"I'm pretty sure user interface research has shown that it's incredibly frustrating to users when you tell a computer to do one thing and it does something else."

You honestly believe that Google is doing something that is worse for the vast majority of their users? That makes the vast majority of their users more frustrated? And that they know this is true because research has proved it?

Why would they act like that?

Most of the people in this thread keep forgetting that they're not regular users. I'm willing to bet that the average Google user (90% of the population) often mistypes. I know I do, and I'm a pretty good speller and typist.

You keep forgetting that most people can't type fast, can't spell that well, and you know what, a lot of the people typing on Google don't even know English all that well, either. For them, Google's spelling auto-correct is incredibly useful.
I read this paper not long ago as it was referenced in Ward Cunningham's interesting work in Exploratory Parsing [0]. It's a quick read and definitely interesting. If you're interested there's a yacc equivalent peg/leg [1]. The only thing that wasn't clear to me (and I'd appreciate enlightenment if anyone has any) is why Cunningham's Exploratory Parsing depends so much on PEGs? Is it simply the non-ambiguous nature of the parse tree?

Book lists on Amazon by those with good domain knowledge might be somewhat similar to this? (or for programming maybe the recommended short reading lists often posted on HN). And I think that was the objective of many of the any subject Bible type books that attempted to be comprehensive / condensed references in a single book.

Just a thought, maybe you tackle the problem instead at the recommendation level - rank books based on an aggregate of recommendation lists, sales rank, etc, to identify 'good' core books for any subject, as well identify those not often recommended that might be too 'fluffy' or what folks consider 'core' recommendations for a subject.

Dynamic languages are an anti-pattern
I'm starting to think that it's much more difficult to write maintainable dynamically-typed code than it is to write maintainable statically-typed code. Many of the bugs I've been fixing lately would have caused type errors in a statically typed language.
I think it's Oracle. It usually starts in the accounting department. Someone from Oracle calls them up and convinces them that they need to spend oodles of cash for a financial package, but that package requires an Oracle server. Now, they can't justify paying that huge price, so they tell the entire IT department that they're going to dump whatever database products they were using for most of the company departments, and switch to Oracle. Once that's established, the IT department staff learns that Oracle is a big pusher of Java, so all the coders have to switch to Java. Eventually they want to get a promotion, so they learn they can get Java certified and either catch a promotion or go to another big company with those skills.

When I was doing Java coding, guys would argue in boardrooms for months about design patterns and system architecture, looking fairly important to the boss, never really getting anything accomplished. I was so glad to switch all that to a forward-thinking company that used PHP and PostgreSQL -- we knocked out code really fast and spent less time arguing in boardrooms. Sure, we used design patterns, but we didn't get overly academic about it like the Java guys did.

Now, anyone trying to introduce PHP or PostgreSQL into a Java/Oracle shop would find it really hard. These guys want to keep their certifications relevant. The Java guys will say that PHP is a hack with the inconsistent parameters, and claim it's nothing more than juked up Perl. If they permit it at all, they'll call it a "template language" to be used only for the front-end. The Oracle guys will say that PostgreSQL isn't battle-tested enough like Oracle, lacks sufficient replication and migration tools, and tell you the tech support for it isn't as good as Oracle's. Then they'll scold you for considering PostgreSQL over MySQL since Oracle owns MySQL now. And when they go in that direction, they'll say, "Yeah, MySQL is great only for tiny stuff."

As for "rapid development teams using Java" -- LOL, that doesn't exist as far as I've seen in the Fortune 1000 companies I've worked in. Rapid, as in take 1 year to argue about the system design before you start coding it? Yeah, that's about how rapid it is.
In Finland, account-to-account wire transfers are practically free and there are two internet buying options in general use that rely on them alone.

First, most internet shops can do what the mail order companies have done for decades: they send you the product along with a bill that you can pay with a wire transfer. These days it means you go to you internet banking site and issue the transfer directly from your account to the merchant's account.

Second, a majority of big merchants provide "internet banking payment" where the merchant's site is linked with the top ten major banks' internet services. From the merchant's site you choose your own bank and they will redirect you to the online banking services of that bank, along with the amount they want to charge and some other metadata. Now, your bank will ask you to login to your own internet banking account and use it to authorize a wire transfer for the given amount. After that's done (securely, on the bank's own website), the bank will redirect you back to the merchant's site, again with a token that the merchant's software can use to verify that the transaction went through.

Also debit cards are in high use: they are usually free to obtain as well and it costs a merchant much less to charge a debit card than a credit card. This is sort of related because debit card transactions are practically just wire transfers. Some of them, such as Visa Electron, will actually require an online connection to your bank so that the balance can be checked prior to the wire transfer.

It all comes down to the fact that Finland's banks have been historically well interconnected and they also have a long history of electronic inter-bank transactions. Wire transfers have been a commonly supported and cheap way to transfer money since the 80's: also private individuals can use them to move money to each other free of charge. Further, wire transfers are immediate between accounts in the same bank; between two different banks it takes one night to get them cleared.

Scoble: Why I'm treating startups more critically lately
I think he would not be happy about that because marx thought that all money is only there to dominate the proletariat.

Im not proposing giving everybody tonnes of money. Im talking about a effective system to help the poor. I and most other people think that one of the things the stat has to do is to help poor people. Nowdays we do this in a really bad way and we make it really hard for them to get out off the system. Why would somebody that is unemployed talk a low paying job? He would because its not worth it if you get only a little be more money then when you stay unemployed and if they loose the job it talkes more then a month to get money again. Its economicly speaking extremly stupid way to do welfair.

Friedmans negativ income tax was much better because you allways have more then you would if you didn't work but that system has some other problems.

If you can come up with a better system tell it to me. If you think that the state should not be doing that at all say so. Dont tell im a marxist when I acctually stated that the idea is partly dirived from hayek. Hayek wrote one of the most inflential books against socialist ideas (the road to serfdom).

When creating a website, one of the first things you should consider is the design. The design can make or break the effectiveness of your website. As a designer, there are certain things you should consider to keep the attention of your website’s visitors. Big, flashy backgrounds and animations can arouse their interest, but they are not enough to keep visitors going to the right direction.

For example the cards will get wear and tear from constantly being shuffled (especially if you are like me and can't do it well). As the cards get more damaged, they become harder to handle and so becomes harder to shuffle. So less random.. anyone?
