Google CR-48 Review
What exactly is many impressive about the Google CR-48, the company's proof-of-concept Opera notebook, is simply exactly how tiny there is to it. It's really just the Google Stainless web browser in the smooth African american package. There is no desktop, the rudimentary file system that you simply can not access immediately and also essentially very little else that can not work inside a internet browser.
Having a generic brand name doesn't mean other companies can do that, as there is no legal term defining generic brand names (i.e. a brand name that became synonymous with a product). What does happen is that people start referring to other products using the brand name, and you might lose the identity of your product.
If people use "to google" for performing an Internet search, it can mean they will automatically use Google.com, which Google want, but it also could mean people will start "google" stuff using bing, or duckduckgo.com and if the term becomes generic enough, it will lose the immediate attachment it has to the actual search engine.

Another issue is that it carries connotation. When you say "This model was photoshopped to look thinner/prettier/etc." you create a negative connotation with the brand. Adobe fears people will hear "photoshop" and immediately think "falsifying images, creating false reality, hiding stuff" etc.

It also causes the brand to be identified with a single product, which in Adobe's case is not such a huge deal, as Photoshop is the product, but in other brands, like Apple, or Google (again), means a whole slew of products across different fields, this is also why the Apple sign was removed from the Macintosh' keyboard.
I just want to be clear. To the best of my knowledge The Apache Software Foundation has never killed any puppies.

It would be interesting if Stanford suggested some path through these courses.

I'm in the middle of AI class (loving it), and I wonder what the overlap is with the PGM or game theory classes - would they have been better to have done first (given a time machine)?

And I wonder, how much more than the probability I've picked up from the ai-class is required as a prerequisite for the infotheory class?
Really?! It's almost 2012 and you're still using 'GAY' as a derogatory term.
I'm so glad they've payed someone to write this important guide.
I work for a company that deals mainly in brand identity and believe me, these guidelines are not obscure compared to some of the guidelines we have to follow when doing artwork.

Although you could argue that people using the term "photoshopped" has actually increased Adobes revenue over the years due to the exposure they are only trying to protect the brand they have built.

There have been a few cases of this over the years, some other comments cover one of them, "Google it", "I have just bought a Hoover (instead of vacuum)". Photoshopped gets used as a generic term but I think Adobe should be embracing this slang usage as they are part of a collective where their branding has become so important that it has replaced the original term.

Adobe won't see it this way though obviously.

I do take brand identity seriously but I couldn't begin to imagine having a conversation with someone where I would say, "Have you used Adobe Photoshop software to edit that image".
In "II. Dependencies", how could one approach this in PHP?

For example, I would build an app with a dependency on Smarty templates. The main app is in a git repo, but Smarty is required to be also installed on the system. The config file of the app defines the location of Smarty on the system.

What's your reasoning for it being 'ridiculous'?

It seems reasonably that the fire could outsell all the other Android tablets combined by 2x, possibly even in its first quarter of existence. Amazon has a great brand and distribution channel, and the Fire is very good value for money.

It also seems quite reasonable to suggest that Fire owners may well purchase apps at a significantly higher rater than other Android tablet owners or even Android phone owners. Why? Because the Fire is all about buying content, and the apps are presented in the same context. Also, Amazon's store may work better than the Google's one.

These aren't foregone conclusions, but they seem quite reasonable.

If these two things work out, then Amazon's app store could easily end up being the channel for most Android app revenue.

Then, it would be an easy decision for app developers to target the Amazon store first.

Is the github subversion server (backed by git repos) open sourced?
tl;dr: Sign your Git commits cryptographically with PGP if you don't want the history to be editable.

Git's ability to edit the history is a very useful tool. I don't think Subversion or any other VCS prevents you from editing the history either. Maybe they just don't provide tools for that so you'd have to hack the internal data structures of the VCS or something, but you actually want a tool to modify the history. Think about the situation where somebody accidentally pushed a secret private key or a database password to a public repository, you want it out of there! (there's a ton of examples of this in GitHub. git filter-branch is what you should do).

In order to provide "safe" history for Git, the commits must be cryptographically signed by their authors. This is vastly superior compared to trying to use some server side authentication kludge, which can be broken into. And the data structures of the VCS database can be modified, with a hex editor if all else fails. Cryptographic signing provides a guarantee against hex editor hacking too.

If I read one more "Git sucks because you can edit ancient history" comment from someone who doesn't understand the concept of crypto signing, I will cry.
> I don't know about the quality of the English translations of his books

I don't know about the quality of the original Polish, but ... some of his heavier works are well, heavy in the English version. I'm thinking of "Solaris", "His Master's Voice", "Memoirs Found in a Bathtub". They are good books - but so are Dickens, Tolstoy etc. which require a bit of effort from the modern reader.

However the Cyberiad is an absolute pleasure to read. I read it when I was in my early teens and I ate it up - it challenged my mind, made me laugh and was very easy to read. Other lighter ones - "Tales of Pirx the Pilot", "The Futurological Congress", "A Perfect Vacuum" are easy to read too.

TG Motocross 4
Is it just me that doesn't like these stanford offerings? I find it very, 'to the point' kind of teaching, AI and ML. I prefer to watch Profs teach to a live audience. They normally fill a sense of energy in live classes. The style of teaching in lumps of 5-6 mins on youtube is very boring. And also the assignments here lack a serious effort compared to their original offerings.

I started my learning way back with http://www.cs50.net. I thought it would be great watching ai-class.org, but it isn't. Anyway, I found a very good AI course from UC-Berkeley (CS188). It's a streaming of live class sessions and is very interesting. And the assignments are top-notch as they are original class room psets.

It would be great if the videos are sessions to live audience.

How beautiful is this?
I use Phing to download whatever version I want during build time and to place it in a lib/vendors/ directory. So, for example I use pieces of Zend and the Google AdWords PHP SDK with my recent project, so in a build.settings file, I have:

google_adwords_version=2.6.4
zend_framework_version=1.11.6

Then, Phing will read in that file and convert those to properties. From there, I can wget the versions of those packages, untar them, and place them in lib/vendors/.

This makes it very simple to test with a newer version. Just update the file and rebuild and a newer version will be downloaded and installed.

>>there are some serious drawbacks for use of git

> Such as?

The more important question is: what are developers really missing when they have to use svn to hack ASF's code in comparison to using git? (leaving github out of the equation, it is not git) You can hack locally to your heart's content and in case you want to contribute, you can diff and contribute.

I don't really see the problem.

That's the best part: if you have access to the source SVN repo you can change history and there will be no evidence that you did so. History in Git, on the other hand, cannot be modified without it showing up.

The reason is that in Git every commit gets its own unique hash so you can't change a commit without creating a new hash. To have this in SVN you have to buy 3rd party tools.

Chess have quick feedback loop. You do sth wrong and almost immadietly you know it was wrong.

Programming (getting the design just right) doesn't. You only feel the pain of bad design in big projects, after a few months passed.

Even the most complex games of chess would be finished in one day, most often in an hour or so.

Where programming has quick feedback loop, people learn very quickly - for example learning the syntax of programming language is easy, because when you do sth wrong, you know after a few minutes.
Free project infrastructure wasn't hard to setup five years ago. It hasn't really been a problem since 1999 when SourceForge opened. Before that, the SunSites did a nice job, and before that you basically had to know a friendly university sysadm (which wasn't _that_ hard to find).

I'm not sure what people think they gain by going under the Apache umbrella, but it must be something since they bother. There are no lack of alternatives.

Very cool. It seems like they are the type of organization Mikeal is encouraging ASF to become: legal and administrative support for open source projects, and other services if the project's leaders wish. Quite hands-off.

If you didn't get on CakePHP, I'd definitely recommend CodeIgniter. It's got a much gentler learning curve than Cake, Zend, etc, and is a great introduction to MVC and frameworks. Also CodeIgniter has the best documentation of all the PHP frameworks I've tried.

Once you're comfortable in CodeIgniter you'll find other frameworks make a lot more sense, and you can choose which one suits you best.

I ended up sticking with CodeIgniter, but my own customised version with things like the awesome DataMapper ORM.

He forgot one major point..

Google Appstore is slightly curated to remove harmful apps by a system built by skilled engineers. Amazon has no system setup to scan for harmful apps and to remove them from their market.

And.. yeah there is an and..Kindle Fire is a tablet bastardization in that its a tablet off the phone code base not android 4.0..that means some app rewriting to put it in the Amazon store as Amazon does not use Google services such as License verification, Google maps, etc. The offer by amazon to developers would have to be very compelling to get developers to spend time rewriting applications. That offer is not compelling yet..

Its more likely that the two parties would partner to do android app distribution rather than Amazon taking over..
I just started doing this a few days ago. I was rewriting major parts of a key value store on a separate branch in git. Then I realized it would be simpler to just stay on the master branch and duplicate the existing code with a new class name, so I could skip the mental overhead of branching and compare performance before and after easily.

>Trouble is, their existing developers and projects seem to be doing fine with SVN.

This statement has little meaning. If they were still on SCCS and had been using it for years I'm sure they would "do just fine" with it. But if they move to something modern they could do even better.
The web is human-accessible content hosted at stable linkable URLs. If you send fragments of ad hoc data and rely on just one piece of code that might be able to reassemble them into something usable on a couple out of all browsers, that's not a useful contribution to the web, it's merely a client/server app which tunnels yet another nondisclosed protocol over HTTP. Somehow we ended up with a new crop of devs who don't see how terrible client/server was (your data is trapped in a silo, there's only one app capable of doing anything with it, it sucks, and you can't fix it) or why the web was such an improvement, so they're abandoning it and we're all going to take a huge step backwards.

I certainly should voice my opinion here.

I've done analysis of GA144 before: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1810641

Most of the Chuck Moore design (I reviewed several, starting from M17) can be described by quote from Devil Wears Prada: "the same girl- stylish, slender, of course... worships the magazine. But so often, they turn out to be- I don't know- disappointing and, um... stupid". Chuck Moore designs are all slick, slender, stylish, worship Forth, but they turn out to be disappointing and stupid in the end. The only beneficiary often is Chuck Moore itself. You just cannot apply his experience to other places in the world of computing.

Let's see what we have here in GA144.

The memory inside all cores is way too small for general purpose programs, even if you split your program into 144 parts and spread them across cores. 64 words of RAM, ie, 128 bytes. 128 bytes times 144 - 18Kbytes. Same for the (program) ROM, and you should factor communication code in there. Communication cost affects RAM as well.

They offer no compiler from high-level language like C. You had to learn a specific dialect of Forth and some bizarre (albeit small) assembly language.

The only benefit for general population from this affair is the relative ease of the desing of asynchronous hardware.

You know how you're always supposed to store an Array's length in a `var` when looping with a `for` statement?

In this case, why not use the 'foreach' or iterator paradigm?

IMO, It's brain dead that programmers have to worry about such details in the first place. It is the task of the programming language to automate best practices that can easily be automated, and to not have to state them every single time. That increases overall productivity and also reduces bugs/mistypes.
