Pretty cool to see HTML5 in action like this. It runs quite well and even though seemingly lacking in some functionality is one of the better terminal emulators I've seen in the browser. It'd be nice to see some additional utilities though, such as curl and lynx would be a nice meta-utility. ;)

I could too but dont think I can anymore as have got older, though hard to find a crt to check. Suspect a lot of people just could never hear that high.

Though curiously I grew up without a tv too...
3d doesn't seem to do much of anything (Safari 5.1.1, OS X). It doesn't crash but it doesn't seem to do anything aside from changing the height of the terminal and creating a large, blank space above it.

What I think was an absolutely fatal mistake with the Google TV was announcing that it was going to be open to developers and not delivering on the SDK until over a year later.

Fine, there was no hardware released to target it but they could have been building their developer community since the announcement day. Perhaps then they could have at least a chance proving to the networks and content companies that their platform had a chance of being viable.

Sometimes the pay is even formalized; they want to pay "competitive market rate", often defined as something like 10% above average, which leads inevitably to an upward wage spiral, since by definition everyone can't pay 10% above average.

What you are describing is a bidding war for a scarce resource. This happens for all sorts of people, not just CEO's. See, for example, programmers.

...they really do think that their social peers are the only people who could possibly do the job...

What's the "social peer" of a CEO? Other CEO's and upper management?

I certainly think that only my "social peers" (read: other programmers) can do the job of programming.

At the very least, the opposite hypothesis---that they earn their pay by providing shareholder value---has been extremely hard to show empirically.

This is hard to show for most fields. When a job consists of building organizational capital (e.g., CEO, programmer, manager) rather than directly producing outputs (e.g., cook, assembly line worker, doctor), it's very difficult to empirically measure the contribution of any individual.

This is doubly true if you are trying to generate macro-level statistics (e.g., compare CEO performance across companies, or programmer performance across projects).
I feel the original comment applies not to mathematica, just to the (alpha - mathematica) subset, much of which seems to exist just to prove it can exist. But I don't begrudge them this at all, it's still cool.
BeOS is not a realtime OS. It's scheduler is just optimized for multimedia tasks and GUI responsiveness. The popular realtime OS from the BeOS glory days days was QNX (and it's Photon graphical interface), but it certainly never "felt" faster than BeOS on the same hardware.

I like it. I can think of many situations where this would be a handy tool. Part of me wishes it was a simple app that would allow me to simply type a couple of numbers in and begin using it. However, I can also see that if it became too easy to use and too widely available, people might get wise to it. Then, you'd have those "cow-orkers" stopping by your office to show you this cool new app that fakes calls.

With each new HTML5 demo of something that comes up, I get the sneaking suspicion that HTML5 adoption is going to be slow.

It seems the capabilities of HTML5 and what you can do with it from an application basis are fine and dandy. It's just my observation and very-limited experience, but I've yet to see anything that really knocks it out of the park for me.

I'm currently working on a project that relies heavily on client-side javascript and flash (for media delivery). We have spent some time evaluating HTML5 and whether we should "cut the cord" and move to developing for that basis.

At this point, we've determined it makes no sense to do so for one simple reason -- it offers us no valued advantage over our current investment. While we hope to see the adoption improve, we're not holding our collective breath.

I hope some kid isn't reading this propaganda. War is not like playing the Call of Duty 4 game!

Stop Writing on the Internet

There are a bunch of Techcrunch articles though I have no clue what they are about. These articles are about but aren’t limited to; Dropbox, CrunchBase, Facebook, Twitter, and many more whose names I can’t even remember.

Occupying valuable internet real estate are also a bunch of articles whose purpose I remember only because they were written by people I know or am friends with, but that I sadly never read. And in some cases I really wish I did, because it would make my friends happy and the world a better place.

Dispersed throughout the article ghetto, or the neighborhood ten or so links past the Techcrunch homepage, are articles I’ve glanced over for work, articles about startups that people joke about (Color, Path), new articles that startups people are still trying to figure out (Batch, Oink) and perfectly legitimate articles that lend themselves to more casual conversation (Uber, Quora, Yelp). And all the articles that fit into one or more of those categories. Oh, and I just read an article about Camera+ (not to be confused with the review of Camera Plus) — it’s not homepage worthy just yet though it might just be the best pieces of gossip I’ve ever read.

Chandelier shades review
This particular problem isn't a puzzle. It really is a Fizzbuzz for image processing. No qualified applicant will fail to implement this.
The reason why `this` is set to the window is because of the way the `this` keyword is bound in JavaScript. It is bound at call time.

If at call time it is being called on an object, it will have the value of that object. Otherwise it will have the value of window.

var obj = { f: function () { return this; } };

// returns the object
obj.f()

// returns window
var f = obj.f;
f();

What is happening here is that the setTimeout() calls the lambda at some later point, and it's no longer in the context of the object.

An alternate fix for the issue would be:

var obj = (function () {
var that = {};

that.doSomethingLater = function () {
setTimeout(function () { console.log(that); }, 1000);
};

return that;
})();

obj.doSomethingLater();

Steve Jobs: The parable of the stones
BeOS was definitely a real time OS. BeOS had two scheduling classes, threads with a priority level between 1-99 were time shared threads where the quantum was proportional with 2^priority_level, threads with a priority level between 100 and 120 were real time threads, they could preempt any other thread, including any kernel thread, they were locked to a CPU and never preempted. And when a real time thread was created, it preempted any time shared thread immediately, the scheduler run at creation, it wasn't only added to a scheduling queue like time shared threads.

QNX is a still very popular realtime OS in the embedded world today. Btw, the OS run by the BlackBerry devices is QNX. Usually you'll find QNX in control systems like avionics.

I hate the false sheen of 'altruism' that seems to be pervading start-up (i can't think of a better word to describe it) circles. Solving problems. Changing the world. Fundamentally, if it's making the app-author money, it's solving a problem. If you don't like it, don't buy it, and if you're right that crap-apps are a problem, the market will sort it out.
Extremely interesting. Since we're bench marking it with C++, is it safe to assume it performs much better than the JVM?

Most people at the time felt that BeOS was the better choice. BeOS was ready and could have replaced MacOS the next day, it was already being marketed as a replacement for MacOS and I think that is why Gassée tried to kill the deal, I think he truly thought that people where going to buy a Mac and switch to BeOS. The only thing that BeOS was missing was apps, had he been able to convince more flagship app makers like Photoshop to develop their apps for BeOS he may have succeeded, it really was the only thing that was missing. Meanwhile NeXT was reworked over the next couple of years just to get it running on the hardware and then the first versions of OSX where horribly slow. So Apple spent lost 2 years and had a slower product by going with NeXT when BeOS was ready to go, most people at the time did not see the logic. Today history has plaid out and the truth is they where not just buying an OS they needed much more.

You'd be surprised at how much regular money some of the shittiest looking shareware made/makes people. And i guess that's the same case with the app store, there's a lot of crap that you and I will never need, but if we look for some niche thing, find it, pay for it, we have something we want and the author gets money...the system works! Sounds to me like the article writer needs to delete apps he doesn't like, pretty simple.

Don't really see why this is big news. First I don't agree that the progressive versions of OS X are getting worse, but this is entirely subjective (for you they might be getting worse, I can't say). Second, based on the fact that this is largely a subjective opinion, given your workflow is not my workflow, does it really matter what Tim thinks about OS X? This is nothing but a rant. A very sparse rant at that.
